The heritage of ancient buildings is a traditional preserved culture.
With a total area of 8.9 mu, Gaos Courtyard is the largest, most intact and longest-lasting official residence in Xi 'an Old Town.
The whole courtyard is composed of three courtyards and four entrances, and the rooms, halls, wing rooms, principal rooms, study rooms, gardens, ancestral halls, private schools, theaters and so on are completely preserved. Symmetrical pattern, orderly space, vigorous style, quiet courtyard, isolated from the hubbub, form a world of its own, which is an intuitive display of the exquisite ancient architectural art in China.
The gate of the compound is a raw lacquer wooden door, with horse nails standing beside the door, and the brick carvings of the gatehouse and the wooden components of the house are carefully carved, which has a typical local architectural decorative art style. The reliefs on the two piers are auspicious animals such as unicorn, bat and sika deer. Peony, plum blossom, sword and Fang Ding are carved on the hall door, and the stair door is "Mei Zhu Lan Ju". The brick carvings, tiger's head tiles and carved doors and windows of the second door and its side doors are exquisite and unusual, and the ancient rhyme is overflowing. Wherever he went, plaques such as "Ying Zi", "Jing Yuan", "Ning Rui" and "Zhong Dian" made the finishing touch, revealing the unique taste of the owner in a high position; In the living room, study and courtyard, a pair of couplets is full of bookish spirit: "Be wise and far away, be bold and small, while friendship is bright, regardless of its merits", "Be brave with others and read from a place without words" ...
According to reports, the Ming and Qing Dynasties were the last stage of the development of China's ancient architectural system, with mature design and technology. The residential buildings in this period formed a simple, elegant, solemn and tough style, beautifully stacked and carved, and kept improving in details, which reflected the labor wisdom and endless artistic creativity of the ancient people in China. The gaos thought courtyard has been completely preserved from the courtyard to the house structure and indoor furniture, and it is difficult to see such a complete courtyard now.
Non-legacy performances make folk customs begin to clamor.
In ancient times, all big families had their own theaters to sing operas and entertain guests, and the Gaos were no exception. Gaofu Theater is called "Gale Hall", which has both the momentum of "the wind rises in the clouds" and the bustling atmosphere of the ancient capital. At present, Gaofu's "Dafengtang" Theater mainly performs Huayin Laoqiang and Huaxian Shadow Play, and other programs selected for Shaanxi's national intangible cultural heritage.
When singing in the old tune, there is a lead singer with different national musical instruments. When the lead singer sang the last two sentences, there was a loud noise, and then the people of Taiwan sang along, which was passionate and magnificent, and the atmosphere was warm. The people of Taiwan roared and made the gods cry.
Shaanxi shadow play originated before the Han Dynasty. Shadow play, also known as "light and shadow", is an ancient and peculiar folk opera art in China, which is very popular in Guanzhong area. Because of its simple performance, broad performance field and exquisite acting skills, it is widely loved by the people and lasts for a long time.
Old Harmony Shadow Play is both a national intangible cultural heritage and two vivid business cards handed out by Shaanxi to the world. The old tune is shocking and the shadow play is ingenious. Both performances are from the folk, which embodies the combination of people's heroism and delicacy in this yellow land, simple and melodious, high-pitched and euphemistic.
Gaos Courtyard is the most intact Xi 'an ancient residence on the original site, and it is also the official residence of VII. It is an unshirkable responsibility to inherit intangible culture and carry forward the national spirit. In the 400-year-old ancient house, watching a shadow play, listening to an old tune, looking back, and tasting the simple feelings that are integrated into the blood, tie our hearts that are dusty because of hard work.
