Li Yu

Li Yu is undoubtedly an ancient furniture big coffee that has never been seen in a hundred years. Furniture for the temperament of his innocence, is both a cute toy, a play, is the elegance of his celebrity life, but also a prop that highlights its spiritual beauty. However, Li Yu’s furniture for a lifetime is a stretch, and he may be the most fun one in ancient furniture, but it may be the poorest one.

Big coffee card

Li Yu (1611~1680), the first name of the fairy, later renamed the fish, the word 谪凡, 笠 笠 Weng, often called "the lake on the 笠." In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Zhejiang Jinhua Lanxi Xia Li Village. He is a far-reaching writer, dramatist, life esthetician, celebrity and encyclopedic figure. The book "Sleeping Love" is beautiful, humorous, and sees true nature in the laughter and roar.

Core tips

The world’s famous names and locks and material desires seem to have always wanted to tie Li Yu’s heart. Every time they enter Li Yu’s spiritual territory, they can find their own light seat, but when they really want to sit on it, this The chair was broken now - Li Yuzhi’s heart, "I can’t get it!"

Ming style furniture is a picture in the life of ancient literati. The Shulang Junyi, the bright and beautiful, the case, the bed, and the couch are all close friends of the literati. They are silent, not only the tools of the literati's life, but also the art of their freehand minds, and at the same time they become the Taoist and Zen forests of their transcendence.

Play the world

China is the best able to understand the beauty of Ming style furniture, the first batch of literati celebrities in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Among them, Li Yu, who is a philanthropist, has written a new chapter for Chinese furniture culture with his maverick life and interesting taste.

I can feel the love of the furniture, and Li Yu is full of affection for the furniture. Regardless of the design, style, carving and placement, he is familiar with every aspect of the furniture. It seems that if he has the time and energy to make furniture, the whole style of Chinese furniture will be greatly improved. Like a child who is innocent and innocent, Li Yu is happily remodeling furniture and designing furniture in a time and space. He has changed the bed and made a few cases, which is very creative and extremely ingenious. He invented the chic and practical "cool squat" "warm chair" and the decoration method of the bed and the cage cabinet, and published many furniture insights from the perspective of the celebrity, the content is wide and interesting, the style of writing is dazzling.

Li Yu’s end stone is full moon. Yu Ming: Kangxi has eight years and eight years of age, and he has not been in the spring, and he is in the garden of Erzhixuan.

Li Yu is undoubtedly a rare furniture designer. He said humbly that the author of "Yan Shutu", Huang Bosi, "what is smart to me", he can't compare with Huang Bosi, and he has no financial resources to set up the furniture on "Yan Shutu". However, Li Yu believes that "the mortal made things, so that everyone can prepare, the family can use ... the high and the humble and near", the design and production of furniture, simple and practical, in line with the requirements of most people is the right way. Therefore, he took the materials on the spot, took the materials nearby, and took innovations in his daily furniture, and began to design and transform the furniture. For a time, the silent furniture was vividly scattered in the leisure of Li Yu, and Li Yu’s leisurely leisure was also included in several cases and cabinets.

Li Yu is a genius of words, and "Emotional Love" is also an eternal aesthetic of life. Among the ancient Chinese characters, Su Dongpo is the most similar to him. The difference is that Su Dongpo was an official, and Li Yu was a long-time literary writer. He was a professional writer in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Read "Let's Love and Send", set aside the flamboyant personality and talents, and fine-tune Li Yu's heart, only to feel his loneliness in the bustling red dust. He has a unique understanding of everything in the world. The slogan of the dynasty, the life of the world, the poetry of the poems, the four seasons of flowers, every wave of the world can sing Li Yu's literary thoughts. At the same time, the famous celebrity Chen Jiru was a figure cited by Li Yu as an example, but Li Yu was different from him. Chen Jiru is a "mountain person" who is trying to avoid being entangled in the world. Li Yu is a detachment of the zen who is hidden in the city. He welcomes the rolling red dust, and in every realm of it, he is a happy and fascinating child.

However, Li Yu’s infatuation is not a fascinating thing. He has a good life and has a compliment. He never forgets the instinct of clear water. The world-famous reputations and material desires seem to always want to tie Li Yu’s heart. Every time they enter Li Yu’s spiritual territory, they can find their own light seat, but when they really want to sit on it, The chair was broken now - Li Yuzhi’s heart, "I can’t get it!"

Dream break

In the thirty-ninth year of Ming Wanli (1611), on the seventh day of August, Li Yu was born into a family of pharmaceutical merchants in Lanxi, Zhejiang. He was extraordinary when he was born. It is said that his mother had no pain in giving birth for three days and three nights. Later, a Taoist passed by and said that the child was a star-studded person. The Li family was too light to carry him. Under the advice of Taoist priests, Li’s family moved to the ancestral hall and Li Yucai fell to the ground.

Father Li Rusong is a medical clerk who inherits his father's business, but he does not want his son to take his old path, but hopes that Li Yu will take a test of his name. Therefore, Li’s family urged Li Yu to read the four books and five classics and make eight articles. Li Yu is the material of reading and writing. After four books and five unforgettable, the year of the total angle will be able to make poems and make a thousand words.

In the 8th year of Chongzhen (1635), Li Yu, a 25-year-old student, took part in the Jinhuafu Tongsheng Examination. When the article came out, he dumped the examiner. At that time, the well-known school student Xu Wei became a famous "five classics". In the 12th year of Chongzhen (1639), 29-year-old Li Yu went to Hangzhou to test with confidence. However, at this time, fate began to lead him to another direction - Li Yu accidentally fell to Sunshan.

He was puzzled and tried again in three years, but he still didn't. In the midst of Yi Xing's sorrow, he wrote the Seven Laws, "The First in the Country": "There are still people who are not killed, and the lyrics are still my old time. With the piano outside the field, I have already let the fashion before the horse street. Yishao swigs, anger and sorrow to read "Li Sao." The name of the ancient Liu Wei is, compared to the high school."

From then on, Li Yu no longer took the usual path, accompanied by mountains and rivers, with Qu Yuan and Liu Wei as examples, to do articles that can express true temperament and true interest.

Li Yu's "The Painting of Mustard Seed Garden"

Selling text for life

Abandoning the imperial examination, Li Yu went home to live in the Lanxi retreat, and with the help of friends, built a chic garden - Yichuan. He personally designed the civil and stone stone, and set up a few cases of furniture. For a time, Yan Youtang, Wan Zhuanqiao, Wan Zhanting, and Guoxuan were magnificent. Li Yu used his talents to make a hill full of culture and poetry. In the following years, Li Yu tasted the landscape and read composition in this Yichuan industry. At this time, the Qing army has entered the customs, and the mountain has changed its dynasty.

However, in the family where Li Yu is not rich, such a poetic life also means that he has a food for everyone. So when Li Yu was 40 years old in the 7th year of Shunzhi (1650), he had to bid farewell to Lanxi, and his family moved to Hangzhou to start his writing career of "selling a futuristic".

Selling literature for a living, Li Yu is probably the first person in ancient and modern times. In a few short years, he has been writing a series of six legends, such as "Pity of Fragrance", "Kite Mistakes", "Italian Margin", "Yu Yutou", "Nai Tian Tian", "Zhong Zhong Lou", and "No Silence". Two novels of "The Twelfth Floor". As soon as the work came out, it sold well and was sold out. Li Yu was famous for his name.

In addition, he also developed another way to make money. In different general senses, Celebrity Gao Mai, Li Yu not only does not exclude the nobles, but also deliberately welcomes to make friends. One can broaden the horizon, the second can expand the network, and there are plenty of opportunities to fight the autumn wind. After the fame, Li Yu, in addition to his hometown of Zhejiang, traveled to Beijing, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Hubei, Fujian, Henan, and Jiangxi. Everywhere, he used his essays to squat in the local officialdom and the literati circle. Far more than the income from his writing.

Ukiyo-e, how human beings are. As the saying goes, the road is often inaction and nothing is done. Li Yu is very thorough in his life and he lives very well. He plays games on the world, and he does not want to make a fortune.

In the 19th year of Emperor Kangxi (1680), when he was old, Li Yu, a 70-year-old, left behind a few million words and finally finished his life. At the home of the West Lake in Hangzhou, he finished his "year-end care." Selling the text in a lifetime.

Furniture

A "send love sent", a life of Li Yu. This book is about when Li Yu was 61 years old. At that time, Li Yu was already a white-haired crane. He had a taste of life. He saw the mountains as mountains and the water was water, but it was true. Therefore, poetry and songs, gardening flowers, pen and ink, craftsmanship, table and chair benches, even landscape women, house health, all turned into an artistic elf, the flow of Li Yu's pen is so vivid, so beautiful, so elegant, It’s so interesting. "The leisurely sent-on" is out, the family is hustle and bustle, and it is so popular that it seems to be bleak when the whole literary world is one.

"Warm Chair" in "Let's Love"

Li Yu writes furniture and writes it in the "room department" and "playing department" of "Easy Love". He said with no bitterness:

"I am poor and live for a lifetime, and the migration is not the same. Although it is a debt, it is rented and rented. It is not a bit dirty. If you buy it without money, you will have to eat your wife for a few days." Or cold-resistant winter, the use of the mouth to enjoy the eyes and ears. People laugh, and I feel comfortable."

He is content with his ears and he is hungry. Similarly, if he can't afford good furniture, he will improve the furniture by himself. First of all, he believes that there are three small things indispensable for the furniture of several cases: drawers, partitions and tables.

Drawers are a lot of "good places for lazy Tibetans". Putting "stationery" such as simple knives and thorns and lead paste in them can save a lot of shackles for writing. The partition is the original creation of Li Yu, written at the desk in the winter, the fire is heated under the table, the fire is on the fire, and the tabletop will be burnt. To this end, Li Yu has another piece of flap to lie under the table, or to suspend it with a rope, or hook it with a hook. He spoke that it is best to add a detachable slab when making the table, so that the slab can take the fire of the captain instead of the tabletop. If it burns, it will be replaced. He said that this is "cherish the instrument for the sake." ". The table is a small board used to pad the table legs. Li Yu thinks that the bricks and tiles are used to pad the unstable tables and chairs. It is too ugly, so many thin and thick tables are made, "for the purpose of preparing for the table." ". The table should be beautifully made and painted, so that it is the same color as the table and chair. Once it is put on the mat, it will not affect the appearance. When it is used for hygiene, it will not be mistakenly removed as useless.

"Warm Chair" in "Let's Love"

Then, Li Yu invented the cool squat and warm chair. He added a small box in the middle of Mazar, put cool water or ice in it, and turned it into a "refrigerator". When he sat up in the summer, he could cool off. It was cool. The warm chair, the appearance is the chair is also the desk is also the sedan chair, "a thing to fill the number of things", put on the coal can continue to produce warmth, is the perfect furniture for winter writing. At the same time, Li Yu also created a "sixteen-word order" that "the bed makes raw flowers, the account has bones, the accounts should be locked, and the bed should be skirted", which is used to modify the bed that he thinks is more important than his wife ("is a bed" Also, it is the half-life of my life, compared with the ruin, there are still people who are in the same place... the wife and the wife are among the people, and the bed is the person in the couch.").

In addition, there are cases of cabinets and screens. Li Yu uses every piece of furniture to make the best use of it. He is ingenious and uses all kinds of ingenuity to "play" with furniture. I care.

After Li Yu’s most creative warm chair-style invention, he proudly said that compared with the warm chair that I can use as a sedan chair, the ship that Wei Jin’s prince visited in the snow night can be burnt, Meng Haoran The donkey riding on the snow to find poetry can also be sold. Cangjie makes the words "Heavenly rain, ghost night crying", I made this warm chair, will it be like this, I am really more worried than that. The monks of the day are still worried.

Li Yu's transformation of furniture is a good first-class one. If it is placed today, he does not know how many novel, unique and refined "new classical furniture" will be designed, not to mention the rich and talented Li Yu, in "The Leisurely Evening" Write a lot of words about furniture placement and aesthetics.

Li Yu is undoubtedly an ancient furniture big coffee that has never been seen in a hundred years. Furniture for the temperament of his innocence, is both a cute toy, a play, is the elegance of his celebrity life, but also a prop that highlights its spiritual beauty.

However, Li Yu’s furniture for a lifetime is a stretch, and he may be the most fun one in ancient furniture, but it may be the poorest one.
