What did the ancients write on the plaque?

Residents of Dingxiang County, located in the northeast of Shanxi Province, pay more attention to the door plaque of the courtyard. Most of the lintels are inlaid with door plaques, which forms the cultural custom of door plaques. So what did the ancients write on the door plaque? Let's get to know each other.

What did the ancients write on the plaque?

Single-family house is the traditional living form of residents in northern China. Where there is a yard, there must be a courtyard door, which is a manifestation of family status, so people pay great attention to the setting and decoration of the courtyard door. A traditional cultural phenomenon of residents in the northwest of Tianshui is to pay special attention to the courtyard door plaque. Some families with well-off families and exquisite houses mostly embed a plaque above the lintel of the courtyard door and inscribe it. The plaque here is not only a decoration, but also a very bright light of civilization, which contains extremely profound Tianshui cultural connotation.

In the past, most of the door plaques were carved with blue bricks or wood carvings, and a few were stone carvings, mostly rectangular, embedded horizontally on the lintel of the gatehouse, which made the gatehouse feel beautiful. Its specifications depend on the gate of the courtyard, which is large or small. Generally, the gate is about 100 cm long and about 30 cm high (wide). Now, with the replacement of building materials and the update of technology, cement and sand washing are gradually used to replace blue bricks, and then changed to ceramic tile combination, but the carving art and decorative art of plaque culture have been greatly reduced, leaving only text art.

Many people carve three words on a plaque, such as? Emperor Zhen Xiangdi? 、? What was your first study? 、? Kangheju? 、? Live in peace? 、? Harmony is expensive? Wait; Four-character plaques are also common, such as? Fushou Kangning? 、? Purple gas from the east? 、? Diligence and family prosperity? Wait; There are fewer people with two words and five words on a plaque.

A small plaque, with its simple and profound style, shines with the light of profound Chinese culture, just like cultural relics all over urban and rural areas.

Of all the plaques in the Forbidden City, the traditional one? Door? The last brush of the word is vertical, without hook feet, from hook to vertical. Why do you want to write like this? In ancient times, the strokes of each character can distinguish its five elements. Door? Where does the foot of the word belong? Fire pen? Because most ancient buildings are civil structures, they are easily destroyed by fire, so the ancients were worried about the belt? Fire pen? what's up Door? Words can lead to fire, so what's in the door plaque? Door? The last picture of the word is changed from hook pen to vertical pen. This kind of writing has a long history.

What does the so-called plaque mean?

Single-family house is the traditional living form of residents in northern China. Where there is a yard, there must be a courtyard door, which is a manifestation of family status, so people pay great attention to the setting and decoration of the courtyard door. Residents of Dingxiang County, located in the northeast of Shanxi Province, pay more attention to the door plaque of the courtyard. Most of the lintels are inlaid with door plaques, which forms the cultural custom of door plaques.

The characteristics and history of the door plaque;

From the architectural point of view, the door plaque has neither the function of stabilizing the foundation nor the function of connecting the structure. It is only the decoration to beautify the facade, and this decorative effect is the expression of culture.

Most of the door plaques are carved from blue bricks, a few are carved in wood or stone, and most of them are rectangular, which are horizontally embedded in the lintel of the gatehouse, making the gatehouse feel beautiful. Its specifications depend on the gate of the courtyard, which is large or small. Generally, the gate is about 100 cm long and about 30 cm high (wide). Since the 1980s, with the renewal of building materials and technology, the materials of door plaques have gradually replaced blue bricks with cement and sand washing, and in the 1990s, most of them have been replaced by ceramic tiles.

Menbian culture is mainly manifested in its carving art, decorative art and writing art. Menbian is generally carved with decorative borders, such as moire pattern, dragon pattern, flower pattern, bamboo pattern and rich peony pattern. There are also "Dark Eight Immortals", "Four Seasons Map", "Centennial Life Map" and "Prosperity and Repetition". Others don't carve patterns, but polish the brick frame to be extremely smooth and delicate, giving people a feeling of simplicity and generosity. The frame is composed of green square bricks, all of which are engraved with words. Many people carved four words on a plaque, such as "studying from agriculture" and "Fushou Kangning". Three-character cards are also very common, such as "peaceful coexistence" and "harmony is precious"; Few people have two words and five words on a plaque, but they have seen them. The two words are "sincerity" and "Ningrui", and the five words are "bright future" and "home and everything". Whether it is a four-character plaque or a three-character, two-character or five-character plaque, most of them are auspicious words, some are borrowed from ready-made allusions and idioms, and some are compiled according to the wishes of the hospital owners, and the content is very extensive. Most of the characters are engraved in positive, and a few are engraved in negative. Fonts are common in regular script and running script, seal script and official script are also common, but the number is very small.

The appearance of the door plaque has a long history. At first, it was mostly displayed in towers, offices, temples, gardens and other public places or at the doors of officials and dignitaries. For example, the plaque of Jokhang Temple in Kaifeng City, Henan Province was inscribed by a famous calligrapher in Beijing when the temple was expanded in the early Northern Song Dynasty. Later, many shops and stores also borrowed the door plaque as their own advertisements, such as "Six Habitats" and "Quanjude" in Beijing, "Recognize One Strength" and "Qinghe Garden" in Taiyuan, and so on.

In Dingxiang, the oldest door plaque I have ever seen is the door plaque of the former residence of General Xuanwei, who moved to wealth during the reign of Qing Shunzhi and Kangxi in Lanfang Village. This door plaque is carved from blue bricks, about120cm long and 40cm wide. It is edged with bricks, carved with auspicious clouds at four corners, and engraved with four illegible seal characters. It has a history of more than 300 years. Unfortunately, when the new owner renovated the house in the late 1970 s, the gatehouse and the door plaque were destroyed together. At present, the earliest preserved gatehouses and doorplates are mostly relics of the middle and late Qing Dynasty. For example, the doorplates of Hongfu Temple in Beishe East were placed in the Qing Dynasty, the gatehouses and doorplates of Du House in Zhen 'anzhai, and the gatehouses and doorplates of Lihe House in the village are all relics of the late Qing Dynasty.

The cultural connotation of the inscription;

First, the psychological performance of seeking happiness and security.

Second, the performance of family psychology.

Third, the performance of metaphorical persuasion psychology.

Fourth, a strong and sober psychological performance.
