I am confident that my explanation will be more comprehensive than that of the tour guide. After watching my video You don’t need a tour guide. Go This is Exit D of “Chen Clan Academy” Station on Metro Line 1 This is the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. Some viewers may be curious The text says “Chen Clan Ancestral Hall” Why is it pronounced “Chenjia si” ? Actually, both readings are correct. The reason why it was just a Xiguan accent at first So it is pronounced as “Chen Clan Academy” Even the bus stop is “Chen Clan Academy” The current “Chen Clan Academy” Square It was the “pond” of the “Chen Clan Ancestral Hall” during the Qing Dynasty. The pond was later filled up. From 1956 to 2009 This is occupied by “No. 32 Middle School” The school was later demolished It became the square we see today. The square will be rebuilt into a pond Lotus will be planted at that time The application has been approved Construction should start soon. You need to buy a ticket to visit the Chen Clan Academy It is recommended to make reservations and purchase tickets through WeChat on your mobile phone No WeChat You can queue up on site to buy tickets It is strongly recommended to ask a tour guide for an explanation Free guided tours are available at certain times If you don’t want a tour guide Just watch my video carefully After watching, visit the “Chen Clan Ancestral Hall” It will be very interesting Otherwise, you might just sigh: Wow, so beautiful The original name of “Chen Clan Academy” was “Chen’s Academy” It was planned and built in the 14th year of Emperor Guangxu’s reign in the Qing Dynasty. That is 1888 in 1894 It is a “clan temple” jointly donated by the “72 Chen clans of Guangdong” As a “cooperation temple” The “Chen’s Academy” is for “Chen’s clan members” who participate in donating funds. Come to the “provincial capital” to prepare for the “imperial examination” When waiting for the appointment, paying taxes, and handling lawsuits, etc. Temporary accommodation provided In return for the “donation” These “Chen clans” You can put the “tablet” of your “ancestor” Placed in the “shrine” of the academy for worship In fact, in the “feudal monarchy era” The emperor was very wary of the power of the “clan” Even during the reigns of Emperors Xianfeng and Guangxu There have been large-scale actions to ban “clan temples” The Chen Clan Academy was very clever. It was called “Chen’s Academy” So it was retained 1905, the 31st year of Emperor Guangxu After the abolition of the imperial examination system The academy was renamed “Chen’s Industrial School” “During the Republic of China” This is a “Literary School” Guangdong Sports College “Juxian Middle School” In 1950, it was established as the “Administrative Cadre School” of Guangzhou City. 1959 The academy is used as the “Guangdong Folk Crafts Museum” In 1966, the main part of the Chen Clan Academy Occupied by “Guangzhou Xinhua Printing Factory” And as a “printing workshop” In September, “Guangzhou Film Machinery Factory” Occupies the east and back yards of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall The printing factory The interior of the Chen Clan Academy was severely damaged. Can no longer be restored In 1980, the Guangzhou Xinhua Printing Factory moved out In 1981, the Chen Clan Academy was fully restored. until 1983. There are several tall pillars in the square. The stone slab under the pillar is called a “flagpole clamp stone” The names and times of those who passed the imperial examinations are engraved on the stone slabs. Use two stone slabs to hold the flagpole So it is also called “Flagpole of Merit and Fame”. Flagpoles used to be made of wood or stone. This one is a replica. The flagpole is square and bowl-like. Named “Fight” The phrase “talent is high and eight buckets” refers to this “bull” It’s actually very particular. The “juren” who passed the provincial examination did not fight. The “tribute scholar” or “sixth-rank official” There will be a “fight” One must pass the “examination” in the “capital” to become a “gongshi” “Fourth-rank officials” also have two “dou” “Chen Clan Ancestral Hall” is a very rare “three-dou” and “four-dou” The three “dou” can only be set up by “top scholar” or “second-rank official” The most powerful one is “Four Fighters” To be a “first-rank official of the imperial court” is to be able to establish Why does the Chen Clan Academy have two “Si Dou”? The two “Sandou” are so powerful I don’t know about this. The purpose of the “Flagpole of Merit” is to “bring honor to the family” and to inspire “future generations”. The entrance of the former “big clan ancestral hall” All of them have flagpoles. By the way If it is on the flagpole of “Wu Zhuangyuan” There will be a “lion” or a “knife” Let’s first take a look at the overall structure of the Chen Clan Academy. The building adopts a “lifted beam” structure “Hard Mountain Fire-proof Wall” Let me explain these professional terms to you. The “hard mountain” roof is a traditional Chinese “double slope roof structure” “Gables” refer to the “gables” on both sides of the roof. Above the roof style The main function is to prevent the fire from spreading. It also has the function of blocking wind and rain Buildings with three rows horizontally are called “Sanjin” Count from the bottom row of buildings upwards They are “first entry”, “middle entry” and “late entry” There are three main buildings in the vertical direction, which is the “Three Roads”. From left to right They are “West Road”, “Middle Road” and “East Road” respectively. There are 9 buildings in the middle, which are the “Nine Halls”. The two outermost rows on both sides are “wing rooms” and “zhai rooms” and “enclosed” The four corners on both sides are “fasting rooms” The two middle rooms are the “wing rooms”. It forms a complex of buildings that are closed to the outside and open to the inside. This form is called The overall layout is “three entrances, three roads, nine halls, six rooms and four rooms”. “Regular and symmetrical”, with clear priorities It is the most typical “Guangdong folk ancestral hall building” The tiles of Chen Clan Ancestral Hall are gray. The houses are all made of “gray tiles” The “Imperial Palace” will use “yellow tiles” The “Royal Palace” will use “green tiles” Also known as “glazed tile” We were previously at Tongfu Middle Road Photographed “Haichuang Temple” It is the “green tiles” of the “royal palace” specifications. The “Shaolin Temple” where the “Emperor” lived also used “green tiles” However, there is a temple in Guangzhou that many tourists like to visit. After the reconstruction, the “yellow tiles” were used, which was very outrageous. If it was 120 years ago, the whole clan would be executed. There are two “stone lions” at the entrance of “Chen Clan Ancestral Hall” These “stone lions” are representative of the “late Qing” “stone lion” style in Lingnan area. Facing the door The one on the right is a lion The lion steps on the “stone ball” Symbolizes power The one on the left is a lioness. Lioness catches lion cub It symbolizes the prosperity of descendants and the prosperity of the family. This pair of “stone lions” has “stone balls” in their mouths The stone ball can move in the mouth But it won’t fall out Tools for the Qing Dynasty The difficulty is not small The technique of “carving” is very challenging The most noteworthy The base under the “stone lion” In 1950 The two bases are missing. So at that time It is a random smooth base without stone carvings. The base you see now When the houses and schools on the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall Square were demolished Found underground Compare with old photos from 1922 I found that it was the base of this pair of “stone lions” Because this is the original base So the damage is more obvious This is the “Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandchildren” painting The four sides of the “stone lion” base are carved with “bamboo” It means “rising higher and higher” Let’s look at the lion’s base. Carved with “Fish Leaping Over Dragon Gate” The bottom of the pattern is carved with fish and “Yumen” Just skip the “Yu Gate” You can “ascend to heaven and become a dragon” I hope that the future generations will be able to be the top scorer in the imperial examination Each side of the base is carved with a different pattern For example, this painting “Phoenix Facing the Sun” All are auspicious patterns This is the “Five Horses” painting. The layer above the roof is the “ceramic ridge decoration” Also known as “Flower Ridge” It is made of clay sculpture and then fired. It is a special craft used in large buildings such as “temples”, “ancestral halls” and “guild halls”. It is also a unique architectural style of “Lingnan” 11 “ceramic ridge decorations” in the “Chen’s Academy” Number and size All of them reflected the “Chen clan” at that time. Strong economic strength The “ceramic ridge decoration” is rich in content and contains many characters Very high ornamental value The most prominent “ceramic sculpture” in “Chen Clan Academy” It’s a giant fish on the roof Named “Aoyu” “Aoyu” is an animal in ancient Chinese mythology and legends. According to legend, in ancient times The golden and silver “carp” want to jump over the “Dragon Gate” (also known as the “Yu Gate”) Flying into the clouds Ascend to the sky and become a dragon But because they secretly swallowed the “Dragon Ball” in the sea It can only become a dragon head and a fish body That is “Aoyu” There is another saying The “Aoyu” is the “ninth son” of the “dragon gives birth to nine sons” Named “Chiwen” It means “getting promoted and getting rich” and “getting promoted step by step”. The two whiskers of the “Ao Yu” act as lightning rods In ancient times, people had the awareness of lightning protection. For example, the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City After many fires The “Chiwen” on the roof is tied with iron chains to prevent lightning Called “kiss rope” The layer below the “roof” That is, below the “flower ridge” The scientific name is “Spine Seat” The “ridge seat” is like a relief painting It is “Stucco Relief” Also known as “Nanhai Stucco Relief” “Stucco Relief” is a traditional building in the Pearl River Delta area. A widely used architectural decorative art Using “lime” as the main raw material Add “straw” or “straw paper” There is also “glutinous rice flour”, oil, salt, brown sugar fermentation Yes, you heard it right. I didn’t say anything wrong. It is made of glutinous rice flour, oil, salt and sugar. It’s like cooking, right? After fermentation Needs repeated tempering Made into “grass tendon ash” or “paper tendon ash” Then make it on site according to the designed pattern First use “grass tendon ash” to pile up and shape Then use “paper tendon ash” to finely shape the surface Then apply a lot of “lime water” After waiting for the lime water to dry Finally, apply color from light to dark I was invited to participate in the “Restoration of the Plaster Sculpture of Chen Clan Academy” Explained by national-level “Stucco Relief” master “Shao Chengcun” If you are interested, you can watch this video See the “Stucco Relief” of the creature with wings? It’s a bat Bats are often used as decorations in traditional Chinese cultural buildings. Meaning of good fortune The “evil beast” without wings but looking like a bat is “Ziwei” It is “Crape Myrtle” That is the “Ziwei” in “Ziwei Star” It means “learning well” and “promoting step by step”. See the Stucco Relief of a lion with horns on its head on the roof? It is a “unicorn lion” It has a story According to legend, in the early Ming Dynasty A monster appeared in Foshan It devours livestock everywhere Destroy farmland To subdue this monster Someone came up with the idea of “using monsters to fight monsters” It is to invite local artisans to A ferocious “unicorn lion” made of bamboo strips As soon as the monster appears The crowd beat drums and gongs and set off firecrackers. Dancing this “unicorn lion” and rushing towards the monster Sure enough, the monster was scared away. From now on The “one-horned lion” is widely circulated among the “folk” Some viewers may have guessed it. Yes, this is the prototype of “Lion Dance” Decorate the “unicorn lion” on the “roof” It also has the meaning of warding off evil and ensuring safety. The “ridge” behind the “unicorn lion” It is the “vertical ridge” The “gray carving” on the “vertical ridge” is a “Bogu-shaped decoration” The scientific name is “Bogu Arm” “Bogu Arm” is one high and one low, with a black background and white edges Decorated with red, green and yellow colors The zigzag pattern is the “Kuilong pattern” “Kuilong” is an animal in ancient Chinese legends Description of Shan Hai Jing “It looks like an ox, with a pale body and no horns, and one foot.” The “Kuilong pattern” became popular during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Between the “Kuilong Pattern” Will use money, fruits and other “intermediaries” On the “Bogu Arm” There are many different “round-carved bats” This “Stucco Relief” is “Liu Ling is drunk” “Liu Ling” is from the period of “Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties” One of the “Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove” Talent and drinking capacity are first-class However, he is addicted to alcohol What is described here is Folk legend: “Du Kang made wine and got Liu Ling drunk” The winemaker next to him is “Drunkard Du Kang” Liu Ling died of drunkenness after drinking wine brewed by Du Kang Because Liu Ling said If he was “dead drunk” Just dig a hole and bury him His wife did so. Until three years later Liu Ling’s wife saw Du Kang on the street She accused Du Kang of selling fake wine, which killed her husband. Du Kang said “Your husband is not dead, he is just drunk” Then they dug out “Liu Ling” Open the coffin and take a look “Liu Ling” is neatly dressed and has a ruddy complexion Du Kang patted “Liu Ling” Say “Liu Ling, get up” Liu Ling really sat up. Yawn Also praised “good wine” In the end, “Liu Ling” also became a “drunkard” This is the allusion of “Du Kang’s fine wine, drunk for three years” This “Stucco Relief” is to “warn” future generations When doing anything, you must keep the scale in mind This is the picture of “Hundreds of Sons and Thousands of Grandsons”. There are many big lions on the “Stucco Relief” With a little lion The Chinese characters “lion” and “teacher” are homophones. Meaning “Grand Master” and “Young Master” “Taishi” and “Shaoshi” are both official titles. The “Taishi” is the teacher of the “Emperor” The “Shao Shi” is the teacher of the “Prince”. This “Stucco Relief” is carved with the three “auspicious stars” of “happiness, wealth and longevity”. The three “gods” are very lifelike Large range of motion, very vivid There are cranes and pine trees It means “longevity” and “good fortune”. The main part of the Chen Clan Academy is built with blue bricks. The advantage of blue bricks is high density Breathable, water-absorbent, anti-oxidant Not easy to deform or change color It also has a heat-insulating effect So it is very cool in summer “Brick carving” on the “first entrance exterior wall” I think it is the most valuable place to visit The “brick carving” you see now Most of them were made during the Qing Dynasty. A “brick carving” artist focusing on “Huangnan Mountain” Use “Dongguan” high-quality “green bricks” First use water to smooth the surface Carve more carefully Stitched together To have a three-dimensional feel There are even five layers of bricks. Fortunately, in “that decade” The damage wasn’t too serious. So it can be repaired On the exterior wall 6 brick carvings in total . The two largest ones are “brick carvings” of people The other four “brick carvings” are works of flowers and birds. The wall on the left From the left are “Pine and Magpie” and “Gathering of Heroes at Liangshan” “Phoenix, Willow, Apricot, and Chinese Parasol Tree” This is the “Pine Magpie Picture” The four flower and bird “brick carvings” are all 3.4 meters wide Height 1.65m “Pine Magpie” The main pattern is composed of pine trees and “magpies”.

To remind future generations We must abide by these five “human ethics” Does any audience know which five they are? The Phoenix represents the relationship between the ruler and his subjects. According to the Book of Changes: “The singing crane is in the shade, and its young ones sing along with it.” So “Crane” Represents the relationship between father and son You know “Yuanyang” without any explanation. Represents the way of husband and wife According to the Book of Songs: “The wagtail is in the field, and the brothers are in trouble.” So “Wagtail” represents the way of brotherhood. “Wagtail” is also known as “white-faced bird” or “water sparrow” According to the Book of Songs: “The oriole is singing, looking for its sound” So “Yellow Oriole” Represents the way of friends Comparison between “Guangfu Brick Carving” and “Northern Brick Carving” Each has its own characteristics in production process “Northern Brick Carving” Most of them are carved on the “mud” Then sent to the “wood kiln for firing” But “Guangfu Brick Carving” Most of them are carved on “fired” “green bricks” It is a real “brick carving” There are many “brick carvings” in the “Chen Clan Academy” They are all works by “Panyu people” and “Huang Nanshan” Huang Nanshan is one of the best masters in the history of Cantonese brick carving There are four porch doors on the front of the Chen Clan Academy.

Because “Li Shimin” had nightmares for a long time in his later years So let these two generals stand at the door No more nightmares But Li Shimin couldn’t bear to let the two generals “keep watch” every day. So I had their portraits painted. Stick on the door Later it spread to the people and evolved into “door gods”. Some viewers may be curious “Yuchi Gong” should be holding a “double bamboo steel whip” “Qin Qiong” should have “double maces” This is also the origin of the “killer mace” In fact, after it spread among the people There will be different folk images The “Chen Clan Academy” is based on ancient photos from the Qing Dynasty. The one holding the “golden gourd” and the “long axe” There is a pair of copper door knockers at the front door of Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. “Poushou” is also known as “copper shop”, “golden beast” or “door cymbals” It is a door knocker embedded in the door This image According to legend, it was taken from the “Jiaotu” in “Dragon Gives Birth to Nine Sons”. “It looks like a snail or a clam,” “He likes to keep his mouth shut and has a hideous image.” “Jiaotu” as the “Poushou” on the door Meaning “to ward off evil and avoid harm” “Peace for Home and Family” Everyone pays attention to the “door socket” of the big wooden door There is an exquisite “bronze door mortar” on it. It is petal-shaped Carved “Phoenix Peony Pattern” There are also “bead pattern” and “cloud pattern” The “bead pattern” represents the rays of the sun With “Moire” Meaning “endless life” Continuous As soon as you enter through the “first entrance” gate It is the “first entry into the main hall” On both sides of the main hall, there is a pair of “Yinglian” (the couplets on the pillars are called “Yinglian”) “The Dao is passed down to Taiqiu , and the stars gather together to prosper the future generations ;” “Virtue is close to Guangya, and the style cultivates the culture of the hundred Cantonese.” Let me explain this to you. “Taiqiu” refers to “Chen Shi”, the ancestor of the “Chen family lineage” in Guangdong. He is a “famous scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty” Henan “Yingchuan People” Served as “Taiqiu Chief” Later generations called him “Chen Taiqiu”. “Guangya” refers to “Guangya Academy” Founded by Zhang Zhidong, the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi during the Qing Dynasty During the Qing Dynasty, Guangya Academy was located in “West Village Source Village” The location of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall “Lianyuan Street” outside the west gate of “Guangzhou City” Not far from Guangya Academy So the second line reads “德邻广雅” This couplet means Inherit and carry forward the noble morality of “Taiqiu Zu” Gathering talents together More prosperous in later generations Neighboring the “highly respected” “Guangya Academy” Cultivate “Guangdong students” with a good style of study Revitalize the humanities “First entrance” here There are the most worth introducing wood carvings These four wooden carved “screens” The composition is rigorous and symmetrical, yet full of variety. The content of “good luck and good fortune” is carved from top to bottom All patterns have meanings The lower part of the “screen” is called the “skirt board” The upper part of the “screen” is called the “screen center” The “screen center” part uses the “double-layer hollowing” technique The same pattern can be seen on both the front and back sides Looks like left-right symmetry Exactly the same group But look carefully Can find the difference The “screen heart” pattern of the two “screens” in the middle It is the “Golden Palace Reward” and “Golden Palace Tournament” Do you see the difference? Two “military generals” are competing in front of the “Golden Palace” The winning “general” will receive a reward The top of the “screen” of “Golden Palace Martial Arts Competition” and “Golden Palace Reward” It is “Meng Haoran walks in the snow to look for plum blossoms” Meng Haoran was studious as a teenager I especially like plum blossoms One winter Heavy snow But Meng Haoran was in a good mood Regardless of the cold Cycling past the “Baqiao” in the snow “Looking for plum blossoms in the snow” Later it became a “good story” The bottom wood carving is “Fishermen’s Evening Song” It shows the hard work of “Lingnan Water Village” and “fishermen” Leisure picture Three “fishing boats” docked on the shore A “fishing net” hung high for drying There are several “fishermen” on the bow, playing instruments and singing. There are women holding babies Looking at the child on the boat Vividly depicts the life style of “Lingnan Water Village” The bottom “screen skirt” Carved a “Bogu shelf” The “screens” on both sides It’s a story of combination This pattern the picture of “Fisherman, Woodcutter, Farmer and Reader” “Fishing, woodcutting, farming and reading” is a traditional culture in ancient agricultural society. The four most typical professional representatives The Chinese working people The most basic living condition They are “fisherman”, “woodcutter”, “farmer” and “scholar”. Another wood carving It is “returning home in glory It depicts the life after “passing the imperial examination” “Dancing with a dragon”, the scene of “returning to the countryside” in glory Also known as “Taishi Residence” The “screen skirts” on both sides They all carved the same wood carving Named “Create a great cause and let your children and grandchildren prosper forever” “Banana leaf” means “great cause” The chicken below represents the descendants of Chen. This wood carving symbolizes “the descendants of the Chen family are brave enough to create great achievements” “My children and grandchildren will always be prosperous” Let’s look at the back of the “screen” Because of the “double-layer hollowing technique” So the “screen heart” wood carving has the same pattern as the front. The difference is the “skirt board” of the “screen” Let’s look at the “skirt board” of this “screen” This pattern It’s my favorite From a distance, it looks like a Chinese character “福” made of bamboo. The homophone is “blessing” If you look carefully, you will find On the right is the cursive writing of the character “多” On the left is the cursive writing of the word “Shou” Meaning “good fortune and longevity” There are “cranes” on bamboo Represents longevity This bamboo is “old bamboo” “Old Bamboo” is a metaphor for the “Chen Family” “A strong foundation created through hard work” Have you discovered? New shoots grow on bamboo It means youth, “eternal life” With title “Youth develops rapidly, and success comes late.” “Chen’s Ancestors” I hope that the descendants of Chen can be “young and prosperous” Even if you are temporarily frustrated, don’t be discouraged Sooner or later, you will be a late bloomer The “Screen Skirt” wood carving next to it Named “Five Blessings for Longevity” Incense burner It turned into five bats and a character for longevity. Meaning “continuous happiness and longevity” Let’s look at it now The roof of the main hall Looking up at the big square wood on the wooden beam Named “Dun” Also known as “camel hump” or “camel hump” The main function is The weight of the upper beam Transfer to the “lower beam” The surface is flat, called a “dungeon” The surface is convex, it is called a “peak” “Dun” There is also a function to adjust the height difference between the “upper and lower beams” On the “Dou Dun” of the “First Entrance Hall” of the “Chen Clan Ancestral Hall” There are beautiful wood carvings Now I have finished introducing the “First Entrance Hall” Go to the “First Entrance West Hall” and turn left Unfortunately, the “First Entrance West Hall” is under maintenance. Can’t go in Inside is the “Cultural and Creative World” Let’s look at the fence outside. There are many stone carvings on the fence This is the stone sculpture “Su Wu Shepherding Sheep” “Su Wu” is a “Han Dynasty Duling native” “Emperor Wu of Han”, “the first year of Tianhan”, “Su Wu” was ordered to go on a diplomatic mission to the “Western Regions” Later he was detained by the Xiongnu in the Western Regions Asking “Su Wu” to betray the Han Dynasty “Su Wu” “Rather Die Than Surrender” So “Su Wu” was exiled to the “North Sea” This is now Lake Baikal. Su Wu made a living by herding sheep 19 years Adhere to the “Han Festival” and “Vow not to surrender” An ancient national hero We are now going to the West Room. The “four corners” are the “fasting rooms” This is the “Front West Room” with landscape decoration. There are many antique tables and chairs on display The wood carving outside is even more exquisite. The word “Lychee” is carved on it There are many “grapes” carved below. They are all fruits with a lot of fruit It means “many children, more blessings” There are sculptures of “cranes” and bamboos next to it. Meaning “longevity, centenary” for the elders The chandelier is a wooden lamp Wooden tables, chairs and windows With stained glass Very beautiful Exit from Nishizaifang Go forward and you will see the “West Wing” The West Wing is a shop In addition to goods It is worth mentioning that This is the painted mural “Night Banquet of Peach and Plum” in the “West Wing”. Famous poets of the Tang Dynasty The painting is based on Li Bai’s “Spring Night Feast of Peach and Plum” Vividly describes “Li Bai” “Spring Night” holds a banquet in the “Peach and Plum Garden” Enjoy the beautiful scenery with several cousins and friends The scene of drinking and writing poetry After introducing the mural We headed to the West Hall Outside the “West Wing”, there are glass carvings along the way. Commonly known as “etched glass” After introducing the “West Wing” We came to the south of the “West Hall” First look at the “gray plastic” of the roof This “Stucco Relief” is “a smooth journey” Deer were auspicious animals in ancient times. Because “鹿” and “路” are homophones. So I used six running deer to compose the picture. Homophonic to “Lulu” Meaning “smooth sailing” “Well-connected” Now move your gaze downwards See the stone carvings of the “stone column head” This stone sculpture is a pair The carving is “Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu” The one with two whiskers is “Lü Bu”. The other two One is beating the drum Another holds a flag with the Chinese character “吕” It ‘s obviously “Lu Bu” Let’s look at the stone carving on the other side. The other side is engraved with the word “Liu” So they must be the “Three Heroes” of “Liu Bei” camp . They are “Guan Yu”, “Zhang Fei” and “Liu Bei” The shape of stone sculptures Very lively and cute Now look at the north side of the “First Entrance West Hall” This one is “Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix” (Stucco Relief) “Feng” is the abbreviation of “Phoenix” The ancients said “Head to the virtue, neck to the righteousness” “Carrying benevolence on your back, and entering faith in your heart” ” Hold righteousness with your wings and walk on righteousness with your feet” “Tail War” “Sing and dance by yourself” “Seeing this will bring peace to the world” Therefore, it is the symbol of “benevolent bird”. So in the “civil society” “Phoenix” often acts as “peace in the world” A symbol of good fortune and beauty Now I have finished introducing the roof of the “West Hall”. Now go to the “Corridor” The corridors of the Chen Clan Academy are all supported by iron pillars. are 32 iron pillars in total. It is the iron pillar that was used before. Not newly made. “Iron casting” is generally used in Casting “bells”, “trips”, “auspicious heads” or architectural decorations Iron pillar technology It is very rare to use it in traditional Qing Dynasty architecture. Proved that the “Qing Dynasty” Chinese architectural style in Guangzhou Began to be influenced by Western architecture The following video will show you the rarer “Angel Brick Sculpture” Now let’s look at the “corridor” of the “Chen Clan Academy” Gray plastic on the roof The two ends are hollowed-out “Bogu-shaped” decorations The scientific name is “Bogutou” “Bogu head” and the upper part of the main painting Filled with various “dragons” and “phoenixes” “Auspicious animals” such as “Aoyu”, “Bat”, “Crape Myrtle” and so on There are also various treasures, fruits and vegetables.

Titled “Sketch” Usually symmetrical arrangement The section between the main painting and the “sketches” Called “flower window” The “Stucco Relief” located to the west of the “front west corridor” The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove The “Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove” are seven famous scholars from the Wei and Jin dynasties. “Ji Kang”, “Ruan Ji”, “Shan Tao”, “Xiang Xiu”, “Liu Ling”, “Ruan Xian”, “Wang Rong” It is said that they had contact with each other And once in “Shanyang” That is now “Xiuwu County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province” Gathering in a bamboo forest So “later generations” called them “Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove” The social atmosphere at that time advocated “metaphysics” Later generations believed that the “Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest” gathered in the bamboo forest. Have a true temperament It is a representative of the “Wei and Jin” style This “Stucco Relief” describes The seven of them were in the bamboo forest Scenes of playing chess, looking at paintings, and reading books Let’s look at the other side.

Because the “platform” is designed symmetrically So there are six “Qilin spitting jade book” patterns in total. Quantity also has meaning After introducing the “Qilin Spitting Jade Book” Look at the other side of the stairs Other patterns This one in the middle The “Three Yangs Bring Good Luck” is a metaphor for “Three Goats”.

It’s a huge “life box” Three-dimensional texture Gold and red contrast Very festive This is the “Houjin East House” It is also the “New Year” theme exhibition hall Check out the exhibits First, a small-sized “treasure box” The lacquer-carved “Shouchun Treasure Box” “Qianlong Period of the Qing Dynasty” Its decorative carvings are more profound More three-dimensional Several vases on display The lion dance decoration also fits the “New Year” theme Paper-cut, dragon dance, lion dance and other decorations The current one is “Year Print” This is “Colorful Children’s Play” Such paintings Non-planar processing It’s very textured. This is a “bottom bottle” “Coral Red Colorful Children’s Play Bottle” Vividly depicts the scene of children setting off firecrackers This is the “Daffodil” ornament from “Beitie” Exquisite production There are also a variety of flower-themed furnishings Coming out of “Houjin Dongzhai” It is the “Back East Hall” Today’s “Houjin East Hall” As the scientific protection exhibition room of “Chen Clan Academy” Shows many Preventive measures currently used by Chen Clan Academy Because prevention is better than cure Several monitoring platforms have been established For example, water level monitoring Vibration monitoring Beam structure monitoring In addition to protective display There is also a restoration display Displays comparison pictures of various cultural relics before and after restoration The “Back Hall” was originally used to place “ancestral tablets” Therefore, there is a “shrine” There are also many “ceramic sculptures” and “Stucco Reliefs” on the roof of the “Back East Hall”. It is also worth appreciating Very rich pattern Especially the “Moon Goddess Stucco Relief” on the left The image of a woman in red with her hands on her waist On the right is the “Sun God Stucco Relief” Now you can see the restored appearance Holding a bronze mirror Before repair The hand gesture is a scissors hand and a “V” sign. Hand-held bronze mirror This is the original appearance of the “Sun God” during the Qing Dynasty The current restoration of the Chen Clan Academy It is completely in accordance with the “Qing Dynasty” style We are now in the “back hall” The stone balustrade of the “eaves corridor” on the south side of the “back middle road” Carved “Bao Ya Dan Lian” The carving next to it is “Dragon and Phoenix Bring Good Luck” “Dragon and Phoenix” are legendary “divine beasts” Dragon brings rain and ensures a good harvest It also symbolizes “imperial power” Phoenix is noble Symbolizes beauty and kindness “Dragon and Phoenix” is often used to describe people with outstanding talents. The combination of dragon and phoenix symbolizes a peaceful and prosperous era Noble and auspicious Among the people Wishing the newlyweds a happy life. Between the Dragon and the Phoenix There are also two characters “Yumen” engraved on it. It means “fish leaping over the dragon gate” and “transforming a dragon into a phoenix”. Among them, “Phoenix holding a book” has another deep meaning. Initially, it symbolized “the emperor’s mandate” Later, “Phoenix Holding Book” evolved into The emperor’s messenger conveyed the meaning of the “edict” The carving here is “Wind and Cloud Gathering” “Yi Gan” records that “clouds follow the dragon, and wind follows the tiger” According to the Biography of Geng Chun in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty “In the form of a dragon and a tiger, when faced with storms and clouds,” “Raising quickly, the brothers became kings within a month” Later generations often painted the “dragon and tiger” combination pattern It means that talented people will have a good opportunity. “Rise to prominence” The words “Yumen” are engraved between the dragon and the tiger. “Yumen” is also known as “Longmen” Legend has it that the “carp” jumped over the “Yu Gate” You can transform into a dragon “Fish leaping over the dragon gate” is a metaphor for passing the imperial examination. The meaning of rapid development Check out the carving below Now look up at the stone carvings of the “stone column head” The carving is “Tian Ji Delivering a Child” The one in the center of the stone sculpture is “Tian Ji” “Tian Ji” holding a baby Accompanied by two fairies, he descended to the earth Legend has it that “Tian Ji” is the “Seven Fairies”, the daughter of the Jade Emperor. When the “Seven Fairies” happened to be watching the world from the “South Gate of Heaven” Learn about “filial son”, “Dong Yong” and “selling oneself to bury father” The Seven Fairies admire Dong Yong Then he secretly went to the mortal world to form a bond with “Dong Yong” After the Jade Emperor learned Order him to return to the Heavenly Palace Otherwise, “Dong Yong” will be punished At this time, the “Seven Fairies” were already pregnant But in order to keep “Dong Yong” safe I had to bid farewell under the “Sophora japonica tree” with tears in my eyes. Later, Dong Yong studied hard. The following year, he became the top scorer in high school The Jade Emperor allowed the seven fairies to descend to earth Meet “Dong Yong” for the last time Hand the child over to “Dong Yong” for upbringing This stone carving means “early birth of a son”. Many children bring blessings In addition to the “stone head” There are also many stone carvings on the beams. The carving of “grapes” means “many children” There is also a carving of “Two Lions Playing with a Ball” Another “stone column head” is carved with “Zi Ri Gao Sheng” After introducing stone carving Now let’s look at the “Stucco Relief” on the roof of the “back entrance main hall”. The paintings depict “Fuchun Mountain Scenery” and “Yumen” Vibrant colors It has also been recently maintained. Inside the “Back Hall” It is the “ancestral hall” The “ancestral hall” is where the “Chen family ancestral tablets” are placed. The higher the family status The higher the “tablet” is placed, The closer to the middle There are many “couplets” on both sides of the “shrine” “Yinglian” is different from couplets The couplets on the pillars are called “yinglian” We explain one of the couplets The first link is “Tracing back to the origin of Guiyi, the surname was given to Lu Hugong” “The Yingchuan faction branched out, and the Yuehai branch branched out” “For more than 4,000 years, the Miao people have multiplied and are still one lineage of gods.” The lower link is “The glory of Wanqiu was revealed, and Jingzhong was the first to say goodbye to you.” “Poetry and Rites are well-known to Confucius, and the Spring and Autumn Annals were compiled by Zuo Qiuming” “The 72 counties united in an alliance, defending the two words of benevolence and righteousness” The first couplet mainly introduces the origin of the surname “Chen” The surname “Chen” comes from the surname “Gui” The ancestor of the surname “Gui” is “Emperor Shun” Therefore, the origin of the surname “Chen” can be traced back to “Emperor Shun”. Because “Hu Gong” is the descendant of “Emperor Shun” “Gui Man” He was named the first monarch of the State of Chen in the Zhou Dynasty. Later generations took the country as their surname “The Yingchuan faction branched out, and the Yuehai branch branched out” Refers to the “Guangdong Chen family” as a branch of the “Eastern Han Yongchuan Chen family” The “Wanqiu” mentioned in the second couplet It was the capital of the State of Chen during the Spring and Autumn Period. “Jing Zhong” refers to “Chen Wan”, the son of “Duke Li of Chen” during the Spring and Autumn Period. Due to domestic unrest Chen Wan went to Qi He was highly valued in the State of Qi Eventually, he even took control of the Qi State regime. “Poetry and Rites are well-known to Confucius, and Spring and Autumn Annals are established by Zuo” Meaning Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period “edited the Book of Poetry and established rituals and music” Zuo Qiuming compiled the Zuo Commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals The above content is to introduce the last two sentences “The 72 counties united in an alliance, defending the two words of benevolence and righteousness” The Chen Clan Temple is the “clan temple” of the Chen clan in 72 counties of Guangdong during the Qing Dynasty. The purpose of building a temple It is nothing more than the two words “benevolence and righteousness” advocated by “Confucius” Because the “court” opposed the construction of the “family temple” at that time This move by the Chen family slightly violates the “rule of monarch and minister” So we need to find rationality The most advanced “couplet” From the perspective of traditional “ritual law” It explains the rationale for building a “shrine” The first link is “The lineage can be traced back to Hu Gong, through the Zhou, Qin, Han and Jin dynasties to the present day. “Every generation has great men, and the gates are opened wide” The lower link is “Respecting the ancestors, carefully recording the ancestors’ ancestors, and linking the relatives to their surnames.” “Friendship is the same as ours, no boundaries separate us” Since the ancestor “Chen Hugong” The Chen family has had outstanding figures throughout the ages “Dai Ji” refers to the “Da Dai Li Ji” of the Han Dynasty Meaning “the ritual of honoring ancestors” There are detailed records in the “Da Dai Li Ji” No matter how close or distant the clan members are There should be no regional distinction We need to uphold the sentiment of “same roots and same origins” Because the “Chen Clan Temple” was built with donations from the “Chen Clan” in 72 counties of Guangdong. There are a lot of tablets that need to be worshipped So the “shrine” here It is the largest “Qing Dynasty” wood carving work in Guangdong. The “shrine” in the “ancestral hall” is used to place the “ancestral tablets” The top of each “shrine” or “shrine cover” is engraved with the builder’s name and address. Similar advertising logo The first, fourth and fifth niches in the middle of the ancestral hall Inscribed with “Made in Shitai, Yuanchang Street” The second and third niches are engraved with “Made by Liu Dechang of Huilan Bridge” The manufacturing time is marked as “the 16th year of Guangxu” The three “backward” halls There are 11 8-meter-high wooden “shrines” in total. The “Chen Clan Academy Woodcarving Shrine” made by these “shop names” Large size It integrates “relief, through-carving, round carving and line carving” Smooth composition There is a “red sun” engraved in the center of the top of each “shrine”. Also known as “Baojian” The surrounding area is decorated with “dragon and phoenix”, flowers, fruits and stories of people. Gorgeous and stable shape It is the largest existing Qing Dynasty woodcarving masterpiece in Guangdong. What you are currently seeing is the “Eternal Light” The decoration here is intricate and exquisite Worth a closer look There is a wooden platform in front of the “shrine” for offering “tribute” The “Five Offerings” are placed Also called “Five Offerings” In traditional Chinese culture In ancient times, a “ding” or incense burner was used. A pair of candlesticks and a pair of vases In modern times, people often use “incense”, flowers, water, lights, and fruits. Five types of alternatives The wooden platform is also engraved with production information The inscription here is “Made by Xu Sanyou, Lianbing Street” And carved with characters, stories and “auspicious animals” Unfortunately, in special times The wood carvings suffered varying degrees of damage Many characters are missing their heads. The head and claws of the “auspicious beast” no longer exist Numbers on the Shrine The record is the location of the corresponding ancestor tablet This was the numbering method used at the time. The “Houjin West Hall” is now the “Handicraft Studio” The “back west wing” is now the “reading room” Also serves as a tourist information center Continue walking forward and you will reach the “back garden” This is the “back garden” Not only can you enjoy the garden You can also look at the exterior walls The northern exterior wall of the Chen Clan Academy is the back facade of the building. To alleviate the monotony of large-area walls and hard feeling So a “gray plastic” decorative belt was painted under the eaves. Named “Tori” Black background, white frame The two ends are painted with simple red “Kuilong pattern” Two bats in the middle The character “Shou” in “Zhuan Script” Meaning “blessings and longevity” Now that the introduction is over, let’s take a look at the back garden. Back garden here There is an ancient well Already archived The central area of the garden is the lawn In addition to a lot of green plants There is also a bronze statue Outside the garden wall Residential area are closely connected Very close Public restrooms Also set here So there is a lot of traffic here Admiring the architecture allows you to feel the beauty of history Visit this garden You can appreciate the beauty of nature Carefully maintained trees, flowers and bonsai No matter what season you visit Full of vitality There are also many seats around If you are tired of sightseeing You can take a break here The introduction of “Chen Clan Temple” ends here In the last part of the film The only national-level master of “Stucco Relief” in China Mr. Shao Chengcun demonstrates the production of “Stucco Relief” Go to Maintenance Process I was honored to be invited Visit the restoration work of the “Stucco Relief” at the “Chen Clan Academy” And climb up to the roof Watch the restoration process of cultural relics up close Go The colorful reliefs on the roof Known as “Stucco Relief” Also known as “Nanhai Stucco Relief” This is a traditional building in the Pearl River Delta. Widely used architectural decorative art The main raw material is lime Add fermented straw or straw paper After repeated “hardening” Made into “grass tendon ash” and “paper tendon ash” Then according to the designed pattern, the Generally, “grass tendon ash” is used to shape the Then use “paper tendon ash” to finely shape the surface After it’s done Finally paint the color Detailed process There will be a national inheritor of “Stucco Relief” later Personal explanation National inheritor “Shao Chengcun” teacher Introduce us The construction technology of “Stucco Relief” Today we will talk about the maintenance of “gray plastic” Let everyone better understand the entire process of maintenance And let everyone know the actual situation of “Stucco Relief” Materials used for “gray plastic” Why do we need to make “Stucco Relief” craft? Learn more about the “Stucco Reliefs” in the “Chen Clan Academy” Museum How it is made What problems need to be solved after production? Why does “Lingnan” ancient architecture To make so many “Stucco Relief” decorations In fact, in addition to the aesthetic function The most important thing is to introduce the application of “gray plastic” materials to everyone Without modern technology There was no electricity at all. How did they build this kind of building? Why can such a building be built? And it can be preserved for such a long time This is what we need to ponder In fact, our “Stucco Relief” is very special. “Stucco Relief” brings together the ancient buildings of “Lingnan” All the “ash technology” This is the importance of “Stucco Relief” Including the “straw ash” we use for “tiling” “Paper tendon ash” used for “wall painting” “Putty oil” for “bricklaying” “Mineral powder” and “brick powder” for drawing lines What is “Stucco Relief” How does “Stucco Relief” survive in such an environment? “ Stucco Relief” contains a lot of wisdom We often say Arriving at the Chen Clan Academy Museum Many people ask “Why is it built like this?” “Why can it be preserved for such a long time?” More than 100 years ago What technology was used in construction? That’s it, no microphone needed I hope that through more explanations, everyone can understand How did our ancestors solve these problems? What is the biggest feature of ancient buildings? Is integrated into nature Everyone just sees the good looks on the surface In fact, the real value of “gray plastic” How to integrate into nature So I made a lot of “Stucco Reliefs” Everyone will feel beautiful when watching it It’s a decoration for us. Actually not The real meaning of “Stucco Relief” is Make the building more balanced and natural First understand what materials are used in our “Stucco Relief” The first one used is All materials of “gray plastic” It’s all lime This is lime. This is what we use for “Stucco Relief” The most important material, adhesive material “lime” Lime in Chinese history There is already 4,600 years of “ash technology” But now Now China is called “architecture maniac” But we actually want to make all of our Stucco Reliefs disappear Not allowed It is not allowed to be used in our modern buildings. Why is that? After listening to the explanation, you will know why you can’t use The main material of “lime sculpture” is “lime” So it is called “Stucco Relief” The “Stucco Relief” contains firewood, rice, oil, salt,and sugar There are two types of “firewood” The first one is “straw” Where is the “grass tendon ash”? I’m going to show you what I’m going to show you. Bring it here quickly. What everyone needs to understand is Why does “Stucco Relief” use “straw”? When I was giving a lecture at the university Many students ask “Why do we still use such a tacky thing?” Students often ask me “Why use this?” I said that the ancient technique of “Stucco Relief” Can be exposed to the sun and rain for hundreds of years Why should we throw away “gray plastic”? And the role of “gray plastic” Everyone still doesn’t understand Today’s architecture pursues “strength” But what did our ancestors pursue? The softness is inside So we use “straw” Show you This is This is the “straw ash” material It is called “grass tendon ash” Add to “lime” Fermentation The fiber in the “straw” after fermentation It will work Bonded to the skeleton This is “straw ash” Another It is “paper ash” It’s this kind of paper Older people should know. What kind of paper is this? “Yuanbao Paper” Why is this considered “firewood”? Because the main material of this pulp Paper made from bamboo fibers Why use bamboo fiber? No other fibers are needed. Because after the fermentation of lime Bamboo fiber Through fermentation It will become softer Bamboo fibers are more resistant to cracking Greater durability This is our Chinese “Stucco Relief” The value of being spread A cool sleeping mat Also made of bamboo People of the previous generation Will throw the “bamboo mat” into the lime pit After soaking Just use Lay on the bed Why do this step? Because the first “lime” fermentation What is the second one? Deworming Get rid of insects and ants What is the third one? When you sleep Bamboo excretes a kind of calcium carbonate So the more you sleep on the bamboo mat, the cooler it will feel. It will form a protective film Can kill mites Kill bacteria This is the value of “using ash” in China Rather than simply mentioning what materials are used This is what we need to understand We need to understand our ancestors. How can you make something like this? Why was the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall built? More than 130 years later Modern people come to “Chen Clan Temple” You need to buy a ticket to visit Everyone came to the “Chen Clan Ancestral Hall” They want to find flaws in the Chen Clan Academy The fact is that there are no defects This is our highest level of construction An important expression of integration with nature A small portion of “Chai” What is it This is “straw ash” This is “Paper Ash” “Straw ash” is used as the interior “Paper ash” is used as the surface “Straw ash” solves the problem of thermal expansion and contraction Because “grass tendon ash” is soft After hundreds of years, the strength is not high “Paper ash” is hard So it is used as a surface Why make a surface? What should be prevented from “paper tendon ash” is The erosion of “Stucco Relief” by rainwater So it’s a soft material inside. The surface is a hard material Solve two problems Combination of hard and soft alright This is “paper ash” “Paper tendon ash” has very strong plasticity It is soft Therefore, the plasticity of “paper tendon ash” is very strong So we made two kinds of “grey” This is “Paper Ash” Look at the fibers of paper Look at the fiber Scrape You can see the fibers of the paper After the paper is fermented by lime Can be stored for a longer time This is what we need to know Why did our ancestors only use “ash”? Able to solve all adhesive materials in construction This is what we need to constantly understand Instead of just pursuing one thing now Be strong and tough But toughness is just one of the states Can’t solve more problems We also need to add “glutinous rice” to our “ash” Many people ask why we add “glutinous rice” to our “Stucco Relief” Why add these things? When it’s just lime It is relatively brittle Low attachment strength Or poor adhesion So add glutinous rice To solve the problem of strength We also need to solve the problem of adhesion Why does glutinous rice flour Will stick Into the lime It also serves as a bonding agent When speaking Mandarin, I often use Cantonese to assist To explain it to you clearly Easier to understand This is wisdom It’s not an easy thing After adding glutinous rice The ratio is different Different strength Different hardness Adhesion is different This is what our ancestors passed. Continuously accumulate experience and technology So don’t just simply see Which places are the best? We have many precious things. But When everyone doesn’t understand I feel like these things are too backward. Is it really backward? Our current high-rise buildings There is no way to preserve it for hundreds of years. But our “lime” “Stucco Relief” Can withstand hundreds of years of sun and rain This is what we need to focus on After adding glutinous rice Solved the strength problem Also add oil “Stucco Relief” needs to add oil This oil is not vegetable oil Not peanut oil or blended oil This is “copper oil” “Copper Oil” Why did he add “copper oil” The first one is to be angry Nails need to be hammered into the frame To “frame” Solve the strength problem of the “skeleton” And the density After making the “skeleton” To add “copper putty” Make the “skeleton” more adherent Increased strength So it became another kind of “gray” Named “Copper Putty” Also add salt There are many questions. Is this in the kitchen? Because our ancestors didn’t have technology. No science, no magnifying glass The methods they used Is to keep trying Keep trying to solve the problem What have you tried out? Now we have to throw it all away Throw away What’s left after throwing it away? This technique of adding salt The “lime” that we have used for 4,600 years Cut all Why? Because after adding salt Defermented “lime” To fully ferment There will be no “explosion” phenomenon (cracking and falling off) How does it work? We didn’t add salt to ferment before. Most of the “Stucco Reliefs” have been stored for several years. Ten years later Will peel off Will “explode” (crack and fall off) 1990s to 2000s All our buildings Many of them use “lime” to “batch” the wall. However after adding “lime” to cement There are cracking and falling off phenomena The country can’t solve it I don’t know, the solution is to add salt Fermentation together can solve this problem What can you think about? Cut it off Lime is not allowed in any of our buildings. Our best materials Also in modern society The longest-lasting adhesive mix It disappeared in our own place. So we have to protect these things We are promoting more This is how we use these things Why did our ancestors leave us this wisdom? But make it disappear Because we have a lot of feelings about our culture No respect Just feel If it is a good thing, why is it not immediate? Good things also need time to settle. By constantly updating I’m almost done with the last one. Because of time Add sugar Add sugar What problem is it trying to solve? The solution is that we “Stucco Relief” in the outdoors It is necessary to harden its surface So we’re going to add sugar In this way, our “Stucco Relief” can be stored outdoors Why do this? Guangdong is very humid. Longer periods of high humidity Especially in March and April When the humidity is high What to rely on to harden? You have to add sugar Adding sugar makes the ” lime residue” disappear within a week Can harden the surface It hadn’t hardened yet. Sugar is the solution to this problem What is the reason for adding sugar? It depends on the sulfur inside To achieve the catalytic effect of lime The effect of hardening So what should you remember? The materials we use are very simple But the processing is more complicated These complex processes It is easy to get Because in many books A lot of information This technology has already been recorded. These technologies are not mine. It’s from our ancestors. What is my mission? It is spread to you Let you understand our cultural values Craftsmanship value alright The first step in making “Stucco Relief” Composition Why compose? Because the production of “Stucco Relief” is done on the roof We have to compose and envision the effect. What is the second one? After the picture is completed The second step is to “frame” We will be like this Put a nail on it Then use the skeleton to connect them Why connect the skeleton? What is it for? When “grey” is combined with the entire building Relying on the “skeleton” Use the “skeleton” to connect with the building So this is the process of “framing the skeleton” Let me tell you first Let me explain it to you with a wooden board. Wait, you have time. You can experience making It’s not a wooden board. We will let you experience the production The third step is “grass tendon ash” What is this? The gray base I just mentioned Wrap the entire metal structure Shaped into a skeleton So shallow Just do it once. To achieve greatness We need to do at least 15 to 18 times of thickness Because this kind of ash has a characteristic Each layer must not exceed 3 cm in thickness Too thick Will shrink, will crack The thicker the shrinkage, the greater the These production processes are regulated This is the process of this process What is it for? The inside of the “gray plastic” is soft If the outside is hard So we can better combine This is based on the “paper tendon ash” “Gray color setting” What is the difference between “color gray” and “paper gray”? Why is it called “gray”? Including many “Stucco Reliefs” in the “Chen Clan Academy” They are all “gray” What is this? After “gray” “Stucco Relief” can be preserved The color can be preserved It is made of “gray color” What is it for? Being “gray” is giving me one more chance Let the masters reshape Shaped to be more perfect This is the “gray” This is not “gray” Completely different The results are also different So we need to do “gray color setting” What other reasons are there? Since we all watched the “Stucco Relief” from a distance So in order to adjust to a better effect Just use color To solve the effect So I made “colored ash oil” outside. How to adjust Or if you find a defect after you have finished it How to adjust This can be achieved through “coloring” To determine the overall effect The final step The “gray color” is completed like this The final step is to “paint” There are many people who don’t understand What do people use to “color” nowadays? They use acrylic “Glue paint” And oil paints But our ancestors didn’t need it. What our ancestors needed was “lime” Lime water plus pigment Then apply it There are still many people who don’t understand How do you fix the color outdoors? How to deal with problems like shrinkage and balance In fact, the most important thing Our ancestors’ understanding of materials “Lime” absorbs and discharges In the process of absorption When absorbing water and then draining it Bring the calcium carbonate inside to the surface Then solidify it on the “ash plastic” Lock the color in the “Stucco Relief” Just “gray plastic” can solve so many problems Why do we use acrylic? Acrylic material This is a material that could only be made in the 50s and 60s. Is “painting” the easiest craft technique? Actually not “Coloring” is the most important part of our “Stucco Relief” The most difficult technique to master Why? To control humidity Humidity of the plaster Humidity during “painting” Also need to understand the humidity of the climate For example, it rains today We succeeded in the lottery For example, it is too dry today We’re going to spray water to add humidity To be successful That’s why it’s called “Stucco Relief”. The most difficult thing to master is “coloring” “Colored” fixed Then wait for absorption Then fix the plaster Now, what do you think of the materials of “gray plastic”? After understanding the craft of “Stucco Relief” Let’s take a look at the scene This time I was able to observe up close The restoration work of the Stucco Relief It is very rare The “Stucco Relief” is repaired about once every ten years. Last repaired in 2015 moss Mold spots Grow these things Why does this happen? What is the main reason? Because of the “gray plastic” It absorbs water and air The “gray plastic” will absorb the water instantly. During the suction process What will happen? Because when our ancestors created “Stucco Relief” I don’t know if there is PM2.5 now. The car exhaust There is acid rain So in the process of “gray plastic” absorption Gray plastic “sucked in It has a purification function Because “lime” can sterilize and purify Stucco Relief in the process of purification Impurities cannot be discharged So the mold spots are formed Just grow moss These things have grown So our “Stucco Relief” Can play a balancing role The main function of “Stucco Relief” is breathing The process of breathing Just like this, now the water spray Absorbed What will happen next? When the sun shines on the “Stucco Relief” Gray plastic “will release water This is the function of “Stucco Relief” And it’s pressed on the roof. Can play a windproof role Especially the house The house is so tall Gray plastic “pressed on top Solved the typhoon problem Solved the humidity problem Solved the heat problem When creating “Stucco Relief” To prevent heat and airflow from rotating Whether the wind blows from the east, south, west, north, heat It won’t affect the people living inside. This is the wisdom of “Stucco Relief” In the process of absorption All the water I just sprayed has been absorbed. Then release it when the sun shines. During the suction Most of the impurities are retained inside So we remove impurities Restoring the inside of the “Stucco Relief” We have to do this every few years. Maintenance of “gray plastic” What is the first step in maintenance? Dirt is being cleaned Remove the dirt from the “Stucco Relief” It’s corroded. Corroded surface Clean it out this way Use this brush Wash the “gray plastic” clean This hasn’t been cleaned yet. To continue cleaning That’s it Clean out the dirt We need to cleanse as the first step After cleaning The next step is This is the “stone trough” It is cleaned Let everyone see The “stone trough” has been cleaned After cleaning Everyone can see There are cracks There are these damages Why Patching? Because these metal structures Will expand After expansion It will destroy the structure inside the “Stucco Relief” So we need to repair These are damaged We need to make a repair When it’s not repaired yet You need to know why it became like this Everyone, look Look, this is a bird. Look at the expansion problem of this “skeleton” So we need to repair This is missing We need to make a repair This is repaired. This is what it looks like after it has been repaired. It also absorbs moisture instantly. These cracks When repairing, the damaged area will be slightly enlarged. Then “fill in the dust” This is how it is handled This “wing” has a little flaw We need to make a repair These are all things that need to be repaired. There are many potholes All need to be repaired After repair, “painting” Why can’t we use modern materials? Isn’t it repaired with cement? Repair with cement will cause defects Because the coefficients of thermal expansion and contraction are different Stucco Relief will be stretched Open the original crack This is a combination problem that cannot be solved So we can only use the original materials This combination is very good Because of the same shrinkage and strength That’s why it can last for hundreds of years. Gray plastic is still in use The most traditional materials for repair After repair Our first “ash” is “ash water” Then “color” Why do we need to “brush gray water”? How is the color of this material adjusted? Lime water is used How to solve this problem So make a layer of “grey water” This layer of “grey water” is the base color What is the role of this layer of “grey water”? It plays the role of solidifying the mineral powder and pigment of “gray plastic” This is an important link Because the newly painted “grey water” Alkalinity, strength This is calcium carbonate (slip) Scientifically, it is very powerful. Why? Because it absorbs water, After the “Stucco Relief” is painted When absorbing water When it rains or there is water Gray plastic “sucked in Then when it comes out It will bring calcium carbonate to the surface Then it solidifies on the paint, inside the “Stucco Relief” So it should be completed within a week or 15 days. Functions and effects of “Stucco Relief” So in maintenance Recap Maintenance is done step by step After four or five steps To achieve this effect After achieving this effect We can do the final step “Color” After the “coloring” Functions and effects of “Stucco Relief” And the effect will be restored to the same Because they are the same material, they have the same absorption rate. So this is the most traditional technology These technologies When we are doing the restoration of cultural relics protection We must abide by the principles Original technology, raw materials Repair the material Then what It’s not just about how beautiful it is. How good is it? We want to keep this craft Let our descendants We will also be able to get better technology in the future and understand the effects of material use To achieve better display Let future generations understand This is the characteristic of the process technology When we were doing cultural relic protection work on the “Stucco Relief” of the “Chen Clan Academy” Is to “bathe” and “catch bugs” for the building? Then put clothes on it Just do these steps No cultural relics protection The first “Stucco Relief” you see at the front Repaired 9 years ago (slip) Never repaired The more the “gray plastic” absorbs The greater the impact on “Stucco Relief” Over time, the humidity of the “gray plastic” will lose balance “Gray plastic” will be easier to wash off This is the repair process.

陳家祠（陳氏書院）：
陳家祠（陳氏書院）位於中國廣東省廣州市中山七路恩龍里34號，始建於清朝光緒十四年（1888年），是當時廣東省七十二縣陳姓宗親合資興建的合族宗祠。陳家祠是集嶺南歷代建築藝術之大成的典型代表，以裝飾精巧、堂皇富麗而著稱於世。現闢為廣東民間工藝博物館。
陳氏書院建於清朝光緒十四年至二十年（1888年至1894年）間，由黎巨林設計。作為書院，始建時用作廣東各縣陳氏子弟來省城應科舉時學習及住宿場所，也是祭祀祖宗的宗祠，為私人物業。
陳家祠是集嶺南歷代建築藝術之大成的典型代表，包括前院、西院、東院及後院，佔地15,000多平方米。其建築佈局為「三進三路九堂兩廂抄」，深三進，廣五間，由9座廳堂、6個院落、10座廂房和長廊巷組成，建築中心是高達14.5米的中進主殿「聚賢堂」。整個建築根據中國古建築形式美的原則，把眾多大小不同的建築物巧妙地組合佈局在平面方形的建築空間裏，前後左右，嚴謹對稱，虛實相間，極富層次。長廊、青雲巷使整個建築四通八達，庭院園林點綴其中，形成各自獨立而又相互聯繫的整體。
陳氏書院的主體建築正門兩邊的外牆上有《梁山聚義》、《梧桐杏柳鳳凰群》等6幅大型磚雕；全院的門、窗、屏、牆、欄、樑架、屋脊等處裝飾中廣泛採用木雕、石雕、磚雕、陶塑、灰塑、壁畫和銅鐵鑄等不同風格的工藝，雕刻技法既有簡練粗放、又有精雕細琢，上下呼應、相得益彰。
尤具特色的還有第二進後側長廊上的柚木屏門雙面鏤雕，分別雕有歷代歷史故事和民間傳說「三顧茅廬」、「赤壁之戰」等20幅木雕，被讚譽為「木刻鋼刀雕就的中國歷史故事長廊」。
中路一、二進間的院子內有石欄杆鑲嵌的鐵鑄雙通花欄板「金玉滿堂」、「三羊啟泰」 。
郭沫若曾於1959年造訪陳家祠並賦詩讚美其建築藝術：「天工人可代，人工天不如。果然造世界，勝讀十年書。

陳氏書院灰塑：
陳氏書院灰塑累計總長2562米，總面積約2448平方米，主要用於屋脊基座、山牆垂脊、廊門屋頂、廂房和庭院連廊及東西齋的屋脊上，規模之大為嶺南之冠。從陳氏書院灰塑裝飾的題材來看，有神話傳說、歷史故事、戲曲人物，以及由祥禽瑞獸、花卉果木、吉祥文字組成的各種吉祥圖案等，還有山水、樓台亭閣等風景圖案，多是民間喜聞樂見的題材。

灰塑：
灰塑是珠江三角洲一帶傳統建築中廣泛運用的一種建築裝飾藝術，民間藝人以石灰為主要原材料，加上發酵後的稻草或草紙，經反覆錘鍊，製成草筋灰或紙筋灰，然後根據建築空間和裝飾部位的需要設計圖案，在需裝飾的部位進行現場製作。一般先以草筋灰堆塑造型，再用紙筋灰細塑表面。待干到一定程度後，最後繪上各種色彩。

磚雕：
工藝特色：以質地細膩的東莞青磚為材料，採用浮雕、透雕、圓雕、鏤空雕等多種技法，題材涵蓋歷史故事、吉祥圖案（如“梁山聚義”“梧桐杏柳鳳凰圖”）、詩文等。
應用場景：多見於建築外牆、墀頭、簷下等處。例如，陳家祠首進外牆的6幅大型磚雕，其中「薑子牙拜相」題材特別經典。
代表作品：陳家祠的“九魚圖”磚雕，以“​​魚”諧音“餘”，象徵富足；還有融合戲曲故事的“水滸傳”題材磚雕。

石雕：
工藝特色：以花崗岩為主要材料，結合高浮雕、鏤雕等技法，主題多為瑞獸（如石獅）、花卉、嶺南佳果（如鳳梨、楊桃）等，兼具裝飾性與寓意性。
應用場景：常見於門券、簷柱、桌基、欄桿等結構。例如，陳家祠門前的石獅基座四面均飾以高浮雕，月台石雕欄板則融合多種雕刻技法。
代表作品：陳家祠露台欄桿柱頭的「嶺南佳果」石雕，象徵子孫以果品祭祀的虔誠。

木雕：
工藝特色：採用花梨木、樟木等硬木，以雙面鏤雕、浮雕為主，題材包括漁樵耕讀、歷史典故（如「孟浩然踏雪尋梅」）等，兼具寫實與象徵意義。
應用場景：廣泛用於屏門、樑架、神龕等。例如，陳家祠聚賢堂的巨型木雕屏風與後進的11座木雕神龕罩，均為清代木雕傑作。
代表作品：金漆木雕神龕，融合雕刻、漆藝與繪畫，製作於民國時期，展現了潮汕傳統工藝。

陶塑：
工藝特色：以陶泥塑形後高溫燒製，釉彩鮮豔持久，題材多為歷史故事、神話傳說（如“八仙賀壽”）及花鳥瑞獸。佛山石灣窯是陶塑代表產地，製程包含煉泥、塑形、施釉等複雜工序。
應用場景：主要用於屋脊裝飾。例如，陳家祠聚賢堂的陶塑瓦脊長達27米，塑有224個人物，出自清代石灣名店「文如璧」。
代表作品：陳家祠屋頂的「粵劇人物」陶塑，生動再現傳統劇目場景。

灰塑：
工藝特色：以石灰混合稻草、紙筋等材料現場堆塑，經批底、塑形、上彩而成，色彩艷麗但需定期維護。題材涵蓋山水、人物（如「公孫玩樂圖」）、書法等，常暗藏地方風景（如清代「羊城八景」）。
應用場景：裝飾於屋脊基座、山牆垂脊、廊門等，陳家祠灰塑總長超2000米，規模居嶺南之首。
代表作品：陳家祠的《九魚圖》灰塑，以“金魚”諧音“金玉”，象徵富貴。

銅鐵鑄：
工藝特色：以生鐵鑄造，結合鏤空、立體造型等技法，常與石雕搭配形成色彩對比。題材多為吉祥圖案（如「麒麟鳳凰送玉書」。
應用場景：多見於欄桿、圍欄等結構。例如，陳家祠聚賢堂前的白石露台嵌有鐵鑄通花欄板，兼具實用性與裝飾性。
代表作品：鐵鑄「八仙法器」圖案，細節繁複，體現佛山鑄造過程的高超水準。
