architectural composition

The first phase of the project is three high open buildings, some of which are similar to ancient halls, with a total area of about 800 square meters. Every time I enter the hospital, I plant different valuable flowers, trees and lawns. Now the third entrance hall still imitates the "zhaowenzhai" of that year. Under the eaves of the wooden structure, the plaque is still named "zhaowenzhai", which is inscribed with three running script characters, collecting Mi Fu's ink in the ancient stele. The couplets on both sides use the famous sentence in Wang Anshi's poem "the spring breeze is green on the South Bank of the river, when will the moon shine on me?" and collect the ink left in Su Shi's ancient stele. The running script is engraved in the shade, so that visitors can never get tired of reading it for a long time and cherish the past and encourage the present. On the left and right sides of Zhaizhong are the famous palace paintings of Song Dynasty, such as "the painting of ink dragon", "the painting of scenery in autumn", "the painting of supporting Li" and "the painting of farming and weaving". The picture of Wang Anshi wearing a hat and belt is hanging in the middle. The interior furnishings are elegant and clean, imitating the Song Dynasty style tables, chairs, bookcases and so on. The back of the studio is a garden.

The buildings of Dinglin villa are hidden in the ancient wood forest. Looking at the wall door, the word "Dinglin" is engraved on it, imitating the ink of patriotic poet Lu You of Song Dynasty. The appearance of small tile, white wall, flower window, kiss ridge, and flower window is very attractive. On the left and right sides of the wooden door is a stele gallery. On the wall of the gallery are 44 pieces of Qinglongshan stone inscriptions, 90 cm long and 55 cm high. The inscriptions are 100 poems left by Wang Anshi to Zhong Shan. They are composed by famous calligraphers all over the country, such as Shao Yu, Zhang Aiping, Zhou Erfu, Liu Junchuan, Fei Xinwo, Zhou Zhigao, AI xinjueluo Qixiang, Ouyang Zhongshi, Wang Xiangzhi, song LiZong (Taiwan), Li Banli Geng Zhongdian, Su Shi, etc. each wrote one.
