What does Shikumen mean?

Shikumen is the most representative residential building in Shanghai, and is usually regarded as one of the symbols of modern urban civilization in Shanghai.

The early Shikumen was produced in the early 1970s in 19. It was born out of the residential form of Jiangnan folk houses, usually with three bays or five bays, which kept the characteristic that the traditional buildings in China were symmetrically arranged around the central axis.

The old Shikumen residence, as soon as it enters the door, is a horizontal courtyard, with left and right wings on both sides and a living room with long windows opposite.

The living room is about 4 meters wide and 6 meters deep, which is the place to receive guests and banquets.

There are cubicles on both sides of the living room. Behind the cubicles, there is a wooden escalator leading to the second floor, followed by a back patio, which is only half as deep as the front patio and has a well.

An annex with a slope behind the backyard is usually used as a kitchen, utility room and storage room.

There are entrances and exits in front and back of the whole house. The facade consists of patio walls and gables, with "Shikumen" in the middle, stone as the door frame, and heavy wooden doors painted with black paint. The back wall is almost as high as the front wall, forming an almost closed facade.

Therefore, although Shikumen was in a downtown area, it still had the advantage of high walls and deep courtyards, and it was quite popular with the gentry and wealthy businessmen in China in Buju Concession at that time.

After the 20th century 10, the old Shikumen was gradually replaced by the new Shikumen.

Most new Shikumen adopt single bay or double bay. The double-bay Shikumen only retains the front and rear wings on one side, while the single-bay Shikumen completely cancels the wings.

The biggest change in the internal structure of the new Shikumen is to change the back annex to a flat roof, and build a small bedroom, namely a gazebo, on it.

The roof of the exhibition hall is composed of reinforced concrete slabs, surrounded by railing walls and used as a terrace.

In order to reduce the floor space and save building materials, the new Shikumen also reduces the depth of the living room and the height of the floor and walls.

Compared with the old Shikumen, the new Shikumen is also different in appearance. The exterior walls of the new Shikumen are mostly made of clear water blue bricks, red bricks or green red bricks, and are jointed with lime, instead of whitewashing lime like the old Shikumen. The horse head wall or Guanyin dou gable commonly used in the old Shikumen is no longer used.

Another important difference is that the new Shikumen no longer uses stone as the door frame, but uses fair-faced bricks, and the decoration of the lintel has become more complicated.

The lintel of the early Shikumen often imitates the instrument door in the traditional buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, and is made into the style of China's traditional brick-carved blue tile roof. Influenced by the western architectural style, the new Shikumen often uses triangular, semi-circular, arc or rectangular flower ornaments, which are similar to the mountain flower lintels on the upper parts of western buildings' doors and windows. These floral decorations have various forms and styles, which are the most distinctive parts of Shikumen architecture.

Some new Shikumen will also use the style of western classical pilaster as decoration on both sides of the door frame.

In a word, the new Shikumen is more westernized in architectural style.

In the mid-1930s, with the rise of new alleyways and garden alleyways, Shikumen lost its scenery and began to become a refuge for lower-class urban residents.

But no one expected that Shikumen was now a salted fish turning over, and a stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The new world of "keeping Shikumen in its original appearance" has become the most fashionable cave dwelling in Shanghai, but the Shikumen there has long been hollowed out, leaving only a false shell for people to mourn and cherish.
