There are typical quadrangles in Qing Dynasty, such as Fugong, Gonggong, Chongli, Zhangzhidong and Jiyun.
For example, the quadrangle, the former residence of modern cultural celebrities, chose the former residence of Lu Xun, Lao She, Qi Baishi and Mei Lanfang.
The cultural connotation and life charm of quadrangles, such as feng shui taboo, ethical order, elegant living and so on, have been properly understood.
Extended data:
After the Cultural Revolution, the protection policy of quadrangles was defined in Beijing's overall urban development plan, which brought the above deterioration trend under control. However, the contradiction between large-scale old city reconstruction and quadrangle protection is sharp, and constructive destruction occurs from time to time. How to solve the contradiction between old city reconstruction and quadrangle protection is still a subject that needs serious study.
In the past ten years since the early 1980s, there has been a new scene in Beijing's quadrangle gathering area: some foreigners who moved to Beijing and those who got rich first in the reform and opening up, with nostalgia and strong pursuit of traditional culture, bought old quadrangles and rebuilt new ones in places where quadrangles are concentrated.
Some foreigners who have lived in China for a long time also expropriated land to build houses and lived in traditional houses in China. Most of the new quadrangles adopt the shapes and colors of traditional buildings, and are equipped with modern facilities such as heating, water supply and drainage, toilets, air conditioning and high-grade decoration. After transformation, the quadrangle has changed from a big courtyard where many people live into a private house with spacious courtyard, lush flowers and plants, elegant scenery and quiet, and it seems that the quadrangle has returned to its heyday. This new scene is getting worse and worse, and it is likely to flourish.
This phenomenon, whether it is the revival of Beijing quadrangles or the development of traditional residential buildings under the new historical conditions, has not been studied and defined recently, but as a historical phenomenon that can not be ignored, it has written a new stroke in the development history of Beijing quadrangles.
