Peach Blossom Garden in the Study
▼
I don't know when research became the standard in China. No matter whether you are a scholar or not, there is a study at home, always with an elegant style.
Throughout the ages, people have been in the clean study, accompanying each other day and night, and showing their love to the fullest. When friends get together, they can still sip wine and tea together and enjoy flowers and stones. So it is not unreasonable for a person to hide his master's taste and temperament in his study.
How to create an intellectual and aesthetic learning space? We might as well see how the ancients did it first.
0 1
The most suitable learning environment
The exquisite study doesn't need to be too big,
But it must be clear that,
In this way, it is easier to concentrate on reading.
Plus the need for books in the study
Therefore, good lighting and ventilation conditions are essential.
There are some books, a desk, a chair, a couch and a lamp.
In daily life, there is a place where you can meditate and settle your mind.
02
There must be desks and chairs that make people forget fatigue.
The desk in the study often needs to put a lot of things, sometimes stationery for study and sometimes toys, so the area should be large enough and the desk should be long, but not too narrow.
The requirements for table legs are a little short, and they must be thin. Too thick will be awkward.
In addition, choose a comfortable chair. Generally, people with chairs have pedals under them to keep their feet dry and warm. You can also prepare more seats for entertaining guests, such as benches and square chairs.
03
Bookshelves are more than just books.
Although the study is called the study, it is designed for people. Its intention lies not in books, but in its environment, atmosphere and realm.
Therefore, in addition to collecting books, you can also enrich the bookshelves with scrolls, Mo Bao and Wanwen. Sitting alone in the study, reciting to the sun, or reading by candlelight at night are all rare moments of happiness and leisure in life.

Viewpoint-The study of the case is clear.
Besides Four Treasures of the Study, which we are familiar with, there are many classic musical instruments. They are not only practical things, but also can be displayed as an elegant landscape. Types of optical observers, do you know what they are used for?
? Shuicheng?
▲? Agate Fushou Watertown in the Middle Qing Dynasty
▲? Red glazed water city in Xuande period of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, collected by the Palace Museum.
▲ The Palace Museum collects the water city with four fish patterns in the glaze of Kangxi Xuande in Qing Dynasty.
Watertown, also known as water bowl, is small, elegant and full of interest. It is a small water storage tank in the study, which is used to add water to the inkstone. Ceramics, jade, copper, agate and other textures are ever-changing. With it, you are one step closer to Estee.
? Wash the pen?
▲? The Palace Museum washed sunflower with kudzu waist.
▲? Bamboo carving in the Palace Museum is washed loosely.
Pen washing is a tool to wash away residual ink with a brush. Made of ancient shells, jade, porcelain, etc. , because of its ingenious shape, variety, elegance and exquisiteness, it is widely favored. Many brush and ink paintings handed down from generation to generation are artistic treasures.
? Paperweight?
▲ Huang Yuqin-style paperweights, collected by the Palace Museum.
▲? Yuzhu paperweight, Palace Museum.
▲ Bamboo root carving Sanyang paperweight, collected by the Palace Museum.
The paperweights used to press paper when writing and drawing are mostly rectangular. There are also three-dimensional models of rabbits, horses, sheep, deer and other animals, which are small in area and heavy in weight, and are mostly made of jade, ceramics, copper and crystals.
? Handrails?
▲? White jade carved bamboo handrail, collected in the Palace Museum.
▲? Bamboo carving chrysanthemum handrail, collected in the Palace Museum.
Handrails, as the name implies, are a copywriting tool used by ancient literati to put their arms, mainly to prevent ink from getting on their sleeves. Not only that, when writing with it, the wrist is still very comfortable.
? Ink bed?
▲? Wood grain glaze pastel peony ink bed, the Palace Museum.
▲? Jade scroll inkbed in the Palace Museum.
▲ Red sandalwood inlaid with enamel cloud ink bed, collected by the Palace Museum.
Ink bed is a small case rack dedicated to Mo Ding, so as not to defile other things. Its materials are diverse, including copper, jade, stone, porcelain, wood, bamboo and so on. Its shapes are divided into case frame shape, seat support shape, book roll shape and antique frame shape, which can be used for study appreciation or accompanying reading inkstone.

Smell —— Poetry brought by incense burner
"Stay in the quiet room and enjoy the case."
There was always an incense burner in the study of the ancients, lit with incense, wrapped in cigarettes and perfumed with tea, as if entering Penglai.
You don't need too much etiquette. It can be used to enjoy the moon, read books and draw pictures, and the poetry in life is around.
06
Appreciation-the way of flowers and plants is natural.
We often see plants and flowers in ancient paintings depicting the study. Planting some flowers and plants in the study seems to bring peace between mountains and rivers to your eyes.
Among all kinds of flowers and plants, Acorus calamus is the most popular among literati. Potted calamus is native to rocks in water, so it is also called "Acorus calamus". Decorating the study with calamus later evolved into a culture.
Combined with the ancient people's hobby of expressing their aspirations by borrowing things, Acorus calamus is undoubtedly the mouthpiece of "tranquility and far-reaching"
07
Yes.-I have guests.
If a friend visits, the study is also a leisurely gathering space.
Set up a couch, play chess with friends, sip wine and tea, curl cigarettes on the table, and put fashionable flowers in vases beside you. Think about it this way, can the four literati's elegant things (tasting incense, illustration, fighting tea and hanging pictures) be put away at one place?
Borges said:
If there is a heaven, it should be like a library.
The library is too big,
A study is enough to soothe people's tired hearts.
Here, reading, writing and making friends.
As for how to turn the study into a "Peach Blossom Garden",
The secret is now in your hands.
Are you ready?
