The trend of decoration always changes in a few years, but only Chinese style, never ostentatious or lonely, unique Chinese elements, conquered people's hearts.
Although it is difficult to find the splendor of the carved railing, and the deep elegance of the courtyard is no longer at your fingertips, at this time, a poetic and awe-inspiring Chinese-style study can probably bring some comfort!

The study room is a wonderful place, which can be a short escape from the hustle and bustle of the world, so that the soul can recuperate.
Unlike a simple place to store books, the study room is designed for people, not books.
Then a place that belongs to oneself and can read quietly is the study, but I don't care about the number of books, or the category of books.
True Appreciation Zhai Map" Ming Wen Zhengming.
The literati's study is not actually about books, but more about its environment, atmosphere, or in other words, about creating a realm.
In such a small space without utilitarianism, reading is really just a way to survive to cleanse the dust.
Yang Guobao of the Southern Song Dynasty "The Wall of the Inscription" cloud "There are hundreds of bamboo poles, there is a furnace of incense, there are thousands of books, there is a pot of wine, if it is enough", this is the unity of the living room and the study.
There is water outside the window, there is bamboo, there are a few couches in the house, there are book shelves, there are flower vases, a furnace sinks, a seven-string, it is the ideal room of the swallow's house, the list is said to be a certain house, a certain house, a certain study, all are indispensable.
Ming Ma Shi, "Returning to the Words" (detail).
Tao Yuanming, who is in seclusion, should also have a study. Ming Ma Shi collaborated with Li Zai and Xia Zhi on a long scroll "Words of Return", and arranged such a room for him in the section of "Waiting for the Child".

The cottage in the shadow of the high willow naturally has the interest of simplicity, looking in from the half-open window, there is a desk inside, on which there is a letter, and a pen grid and a pen, an inkstone and a water bowl, and an incense burner, and a bottle with an incense spoon and a incense chopstick.
Burrow inscription axis - Qing Huang should be painted and colored on silk.
On the wall, there is a scroll of reed geese, a piano, and another scroll of landscape rights as a grid and a volume of calligraphy and paintings.
This is the Ming people's deliberate desire for "ancient", but it is only "ancient" to the Song and Yuan dynasties.
The Song people like to build a small room in the middle of the house and read alone, so that the world completely belongs to themselves, which can also be called a study.
Of course, there is only one seat and one frame, and the space looks thinner, and what fills these spaces is the furnishings. And these furnishings are also known as cultural toys, elegant toys, Qing toys and other lofty names.
The literati of the Ming Dynasty advocated elegance and taste, and paid special attention to the furnishings and arrangements of the study.
The Shanghai Museum collects the album of the Song Dynasty "Water Pavilion Enjoying the Cool Picture", which depicts the distant mountains and near the water, a water pavilion on the lotus pond, a bright separation in front of the hall, a few incense screens in the hall, and the owner sits on the case.

The so-called "happiness" is not necessarily related to books, but rather from the artistic conception of reading, which is exactly what the study wants to create. Most of the study rooms of the Song people were solitary places, because they were often named after "Rong Knee".
The study of the Ming people has an open nature, which makes the study and the garden more closely combined, so it often becomes a place for elegant gatherings.
Regarding the management of the study, poetry and painting seem to have formed a mindset, Wen Zhenheng wrote "Chronicles of Long Things", and made provisions one by one on several couches, utensils, flowers and trees, water stones, calligraphy and painting.

The couch can be said to be particularly important, it is a classical that has been preserved in the era of high seats, and its various ancient meanings are particularly valued by the literati, so it has almost become a symbol of the literati's study.
The "Chronicle of Long Things" says that the couch, where the style, size, and material, are described in detail one by one, and the difference between elegance and vulgarity is clearly distinguished.
The couch of the Ming Dynasty that meets the standard of elegance still exists, and a red sandalwood single-panel robe bed recorded in the "Appreciation of Ming-style Furniture" is a good example.

However, the study is not exclusive to the literati, but still has its style.
Wang Jian's "Early Autumn Over the Study of General Longwu Li":
In the autumn alley with the sound of tall trees and cicadas, Zhumen is calm and seems to be idle. Heavy ink painting several stems of bamboo, with a shelf of incense books. The smiling waiter knows the number of etiquette, and the wild guest is crazy. I love to read the biography of heroes, and I am afraid that it is better to make meritorious deeds.Mozhu was still a novelty in the late Tang Dynasty, but he entered the general's study early, and "a shelf of books with incense" was very elegant.

The "wild guest" is indeed a humble language, but because of this, it can see the atmosphere, which may be more affectionate than the literati's poetry and books.
The legend of the hero" Yunyun, revealing the meaning of both sides of the guest and the host is just right, although it was originally just for the sake of the topic.
Dongzhuang Tu Cultivating Xi Xuan" Ming Shen Zhou.
Once upon a time, the study seemed to have become a must for residence, and it was not a good place to live.
A passage in the second volume of Ming Fanlian's "Copying from the Clouds" shows the atmosphere of the day:
It is especially strange that the soap is almost stopped, that is, the whole rest, decorated with wooden boards, the garden is filled with fish and miscellaneous flowers, and the thin table is dusty, known as the study, and I don't know what book the soap reads.Speaking of which, there was another class at that time, although the name was called the study, but it was not used for reading, and the vassal study was elegant and furnished, and some elegant programs were also arranged in it, such as the study room of Ximen Qing in "The Words of the Golden Vase Plum".
Illustration of the sixty-seventh episode of "Enjoying the Snow in Ximenqing's Study".
Examining the name of the school, it can be seen that the pen here is written realistically, and the wind can be seen everywhere.
It is difficult to have a clear definition of elegance and vulgarity, and there is still much room for debate as to whether Wen's various opinions on elegance can be used as a standard, and even the reader may not have the elegance expected there.
In fact, a small room where you can read freely in daily solitude is the most enviable in the poems of the Song Dynasty, which is the so-called "bottom line" of the study standard, and "counting books left and right, a grass hall day and night", if it is regarded as the ultimate in elegance, why not.
