Webmaster Yang said with some difficulty: "This is a good idea, but all the special issues have been distributed, and we have to pay for additional printing. We no longer have the budget. Otherwise, you can tell your father-in-law to sponsor it.
What?"
To a certain extent, this was an advertisement for him, and it worked as soon as he said it. The biggest expense in printing was the publishing fee. The cost of reprinting two thousand copies was very low, only two thousand yuan. Jin Huabin and Zhang Guifang agreed that if they could
The company's contact number is added to the special issue, which is definitely a very cost-effective deal.
"The sponsorship fee for reprinting is 3,000? You can add a small advertisement and put the contact number." Webmaster Yang agreed, and he was already thinking about it. After reprinting, he could also generate 1,000 yuan for the unit's small treasury, and give it to him during the holidays.
Give everyone some small gifts, which is good for your own management.
The construction of Ying's ancestral hall officially began. Zhang Zhengde and Wu Guixiao worked together. Except for the stone windows, the most distinctive doorways of the ancestral hall were inlaid with pebbles. However, due to more than a hundred years of sun and rain, they were in dilapidated condition.
If they can make some corrections, they will definitely satisfy customers and bring more business to the future development of the company. However, the craftsmanship of pebble inlay and stone window carving are different, so they have no good ideas on how to keep improving.<
/p>
Zhang Zhengde said to Jin Huabin and his daughter Zhang Guifang: "President Ying gave us 600,000 yuan to repair the ancestral hall. I calculated that the maximum cost to renovate the stone windows is 160,000 yuan, and the tile renovation does not exceed 50,000 yuan.
More than half of the money has not been spent. We want to renovate the exterior walls, doorways and road pebbles. In short, we do not make money from them, but we have to use the money as much as possible to achieve the desired effect.
You can design a suitable pattern and find out if there are any craftsmen in this field."
River pebbles are not like stone carvings. Each river pebble has a certain size, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve the same precision as stone carvings. Therefore, the requirements for pattern design are different from those for stone windows. Both of them are art majors, so they have to choose
It is not difficult to find a suitable pattern. What is difficult is that the pattern must meet the traditional aesthetic requirements and be easy to construct. The two nodded in agreement and took the job.
Zhang Guifang flashed her eyes and said: "There is still plenty of time, so let's not rush into it. Over the past few weeks, the two of us have visited various ancient villages in Xianju to see what patterns are used in their doorways.
You have the bottom line, do you think this will work?"
"This is called a confidante. Doing things that both of you like together." Jin Huabin squeezed her hand and said, "Driving around in the car is like getting married on a trip."
"Getting married while traveling is such a beautiful idea. I didn't even book an engagement, okay?" Zhang Guifang reluctantly asked him to hold her hand and asked, "What do you mean by something that both of you like?" She said this with a charming look. "You have been mine for the rest of your life, why do you still want to rely on me?" Jin Huabin pointed to the pebble pattern on the ground and said, "Look, there are lilies on the pattern, which is a metaphor for what we both like, which is a lasting marriage."
Zhang Guifang blushed and said: "Let's work first. I heard that there are more old houses in Zhuxi, and most of them are stone houses. There are many ancient pebble doorways inside. Maybe there will be new discoveries."<
/p>
"Work first. After you finish the work, you can get together for a hundred years, right?" Jin Huabin said teasingly: "You said it yourself, but you are not allowed to cheat." As he said this, he ran to the car with a smile and pulled away.
Car door.
One advantage of working at the cultural station is that it is very convenient to check the county annals. As the name suggests, Zhuxi Town is dominated by the surname Zhu. According to the county annals, there are Pingyuan, Longhuangtang, Shiren, Banliao, Zhengjiashan, and Kuzhuping villages.
They all had officials or wealthy businessmen, and it is estimated that you can find relatively well-preserved cobblestone gates and cobblestone roads inside. Jin Huabin planned the route based on the county records, and the two of them took Canon SLR cameras to plan each village.
Take a photo of the past.
Zhuxi is one of the major streams in Xianju City. There are many river pebbles with smooth surfaces and different patterns, colors and shapes. The ancients learned from nature and used local materials to creatively apply pebbles to the decorative art of ancient buildings.
Among them, the dark and light stone patterns are very consistent with the architectural colors of the ancient houses, which play a finishing touch in the architecture of the ancient houses. When they came to Pingyuan Village, they made a surprising discovery. There were books on the ground.
The combination of mirrors and copper coins is not very common in other places. What does it mean? At this time, a man dressed as an old scholar wearing round reading glasses and a long gown came over and introduced to them: "
This is called the book that has its own golden house, and the book has its own beauty like jade. Song Zhenzong’s poem to encourage reading, copper coins represent gold, and mirrors represent beauty.” Without waiting for them to ask, he continued to explain: “Our ancestors passed the imperial examination in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.
, Embedded in order to encourage future generations to work hard."
The entrance hall of Shiren Village is inlaid with pebbles with various types of fish and vases. The old people in the village told that the fish represents abundance every year, and the vases represent peace of mind when entering and exiting. Because their village is located at the mouth of a stream, what they fear most is the risk of accidents.
Floods flooded the village, so surplus and peace have become the main aspirations of villagers from ancient times to the present.
The two thanked the old man and then drove to Longhuangtang Village. They found a small temple next to the village. There was a grain drying field in front of the temple. The ground was inlaid with pebbles to make swords, copper coins and ingots. There were also pomegranates paved with pebbles at the entrance of the temple.
An old man in a black robe who stayed behind explained to them: "The sword represents a magic weapon to ward off evil, the combination of many copper coins and ingots is called gold everywhere, and pomegranates represent many children. Many years ago, this small temple was used by ancient people to pray for children.
In this place, Guanyin and its efficaciousness are efficacious, but after the family planning, the incense has disappeared."
He took her hand and said, "How about we go to the Bodhisattva and worship him and ask him to bless us with many children and good fortune in the future?"
Zhang Guifang suddenly became nervous, blushed and replied in a loud voice: "No, I have to abide by the national policy and have a baby."
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the car arrived at Banliao Village, the planned terminus for today. The walls of the village were made of pebbles to form a series of patterns. The meanings of all the patterns were very clear and no one needed to explain them: for example: bats represent blessings, and sika deers represent blessings.
Lu, peach represents longevity, lotus represents harmony and beauty, etc.
After recording all this with his camera, Jin Huabin asked: "Where can I sort out the photos after I go back, your home or mine?"
"Let's find a quieter place. Both families are too noisy. Maybe neighbors or friends will disturb you." Zhang Guifang lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes and replied, "Otherwise, we'd better go to an old house in the countryside. There's no one there."
."
Jin Huabin heard the meaning of her words and exhaled. He felt his hormones rising and his whole body felt hot. He hurriedly opened the car door and said, "Let's go back immediately. Let's get together and sort out the photos, okay?"<
/p>
"Who wants to have a good relationship with you for a hundred years? Don't be ashamed." Zhang Guifang started the car and headed towards the old house while cursing.
