Song Dynasty Zheng Yungu's poem: The chaotic flowers move around the house and the water shines, and the green rainbow leaks through the windows in spring. It's the spring scenery: the suckling bird takes advantage of the flying, and the crow pecks down. Falling flowers linger in front of the room with the flowing water, and light shines through the leaky window. They are all ordinary scenery, ordinary things.

There are many flower windows in Jiangnan gardens. Ming Li Liweng said: Opening a window is not a good way to borrow a scene, because it is the leaking window. Most of the leaking window has a border of clear water and polished bricks. The Ming-style practice starts with two to three stitches, and the spigot formed is softer and more elegant.

The styles of leaky windows made by ancients mostly used the symbolic meaning of objects to express their yearning for something. For example, the pattern of a vase was used to mean peace and peace; the pattern of the four-character essay was used to express longevity, longevity, and prosperity.

As for the leaked window in the form of plants, most of them use the homophony and character of the plant name to express the cultural connotation of the leaked window. Generally, begonia, lotus, pomegranate and the like are used. There are also leaky windows with animal patterns, such as fish patterns, bats, etc., which often express the yearning for life by means of form.

As for the wooden window, the pattern is also very complicated. They are all made of wooden boards to make large grids, and then thin wooden strips are added in the middle. The triangular lattice is called the elephant eye, and the rectangular lattice is called the mountain flower. Both of these are linear grids. There are also arcs, such as autumn leaves and crabapples.

There are also combinations of several lines, such as the word for life, Kuiwen, and hexagonal plum blossoms. There is a lattice called "Ruyi Linghua". The outside is paper paste. When the sun shines, it is the most elegant. As for the use of silk yarn and plum blossoms to cover it, it is okay, but it is less bright and pure.

Li Liweng said in "Xian Qing Ou Ji": You often make your own window frame and dictate the craftsman to do it, thinking that it is very new and very different. The railings are mainly exquisite, and the window lattices are clear and transparent. Several lattice lattices designed by Mr. are more practical.

The best-sounding name is Peach Blossom Wave, and the most subtle design is the slanted grid. This kind of grid color is more interesting and can reach the realm of illusion. He is most satisfied with this design. Zeng Yuyun has a very good style, which is unexpected. At an age, arrogant is also cute.

In the old days, literati lived mostly with long meanings, and random shooting was cultural. Movement and stillness, light or shadow, lightness and darkness, are the same simplicity, everything is natural, the Xuan Ying is high and cool, the windows are adjacent, the ocean is full of thousands of times, and the beauty of the four seasons is a pity, it is all ancient scenery.

With the size of the window, it becomes an unintentional painting. Pushing the window to see the scenery, or the plum supporting the fist stone, or the reed barriers, can create a picture in the heart. People are leisurely and calmly, take a book, knowing the time shift. Even if there is swelling, the clouds and rocks give rise to smoke; the banana crane wanders, the sun changes shadows; it is also lonely and leisurely, and it is great. Editor/He Yuting
