How do you feel about quadrangles in Beijing?
Beijing quadrangle is a veritable quadrangle, spacious and open, with plenty of sunshine and broad vision. Another point is that the cultural connotation of Beijing Siheyuan is rich, which fully embodies the traditional living concept of China. For example, the quadrangles of the Han nationality in Northeast China (rural quadrangles in Northeast China) conform to the first two characteristics of Beijing quadrangles, but do not have the characteristics of rich cultural connotations. For example, the single-door quadrangle in Northeast China (in China, the tradition is mostly in the form of double doors) and the practice of setting an "inverted door" behind the hall as a storage room all make people feel that it is a continuation of the poor habits brought by immigrants who "ran to Kanto" in Shandong and other places in the Qing Dynasty. It is precisely because of the above characteristics that people often regard Beijing Siheyuan as a typical representative form of China Siheyuan dwellings. The quadrangular gate generally occupies the area of a room, and the parts are quite complicated. Only the names are gatehouse, doorway, gate (door leaf), door frame, waist seal, plug, walking board, door pillow, sill, threshold, door pin, big edge, plastering, threading, door core plate and door cymbal. The gate is generally black oil, and red oil and black couplets can be added. Into the gate, there are hanging flower doors, moon doors and so on. Hanging flower door is the most gorgeous decorative door in quadrangles. It is called "hanging flowers" because the eaves of the door are arched to separate the inner and outer courtyards. Outside the door is the living room, concierge, garage and other "outhouses", while inside the door is the bedroom "inner room" where the master lives. If there is no hanging door, you can use the moon door to separate the inner and outer rooms. Beijing quadrangle
