Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

---

The entire courtyard is like a beautiful painting of classical Chinese architecture. The two-story buildings are staggered and the pavilions are exquisite and unique. Every detail demonstrates the exquisite craftsmanship and profound cultural heritage.

Walking into the courtyard, the first thing that catches your eye is the exquisite pavilion. The eaves and corners of the pavilion are like a bird spreading its wings and about to fly; the columns of the pavilion are carved with exquisite patterns, which are lifelike and seem to be telling an ancient story. Under the pavilion is a clear pond with sparkling water and fish swimming freely in the water, adding vitality to the entire courtyard.

Walking along the path paved with "golden bricks", we came to the pavilion. The pavilion is towering into the sky and magnificent. A plaque hangs above the door, with three big characters "Dexintang" written in vigorous and powerful strokes. Climbing up the pavilion, you can overlook the entire courtyard and take in the beautiful scenery. The Taihu stone rockery in the distance and the lush flowers, plants and trees nearby are vying for beauty. The breeze blows by, bringing bursts of floral fragrance, making people intoxicated.

The underground storage room in the courtyard is even more amazing. The floor is paved with gold bricks, and the shelves made of golden nanmu are neatly arranged, filled with all kinds of precious items. The walls of the storage room are hung with paintings and calligraphy by famous people, which are priceless. This is not only a storage room, but also a palace of art, which makes people feel the profoundness of classical Chinese culture.

In this magnificent courtyard, the scent of golden nanmu fills the air, intoxicating. A total of 1369 golden nanmu trees, each of which can be hugged by two people, are used. Their fine texture and warm color seem to tell the story of the years. These precious woods are not only building materials, but also an expression of art, showing the taste and wealth of the owner.

The ground of the courtyard is covered with more than 6390 gold bricks made of Taihu mud. These gold bricks are hard and smooth like mirrors, shining with golden light under the sunlight. Each gold brick has been carefully polished and fired, with exquisite craftsmanship, which is amazing. They not only add a sense of luxury and solemnity to the courtyard, but also a kind of cultural inheritance, reflecting the charm of traditional Chinese architecture.

Due to Liu Yi's respect and concern for the craftsmen, the old craftsman suggested that this was too dazzling and that the house should be protected from prying eyes. Such luxury was definitely not a good thing.

Liu Yi fell into deep thought.

"Master Lei, now that it's like this, how can we keep a low profile?"

"Please rest assured, sir. I will make it look old so that no one can find out what kind of materials these are. But it will cost a lot. What do you think?"

Liu Yi nodded in agreement with Master Lei's proposal with great joy.

The completion of the entire courtyard is amazing. It is not only a masterpiece of architecture, but also a crystallization of art. Here, people can feel the preciousness of golden nanmu and the luxury of gold bricks, and can also appreciate the profoundness of traditional Chinese architecture. This courtyard will become the eternal yearning and pursuit in people's hearts.

Soon after, the courtyard was completed. Liu Yi invited several friends to visit. When they stepped into the courtyard, they were all amazed at its perfect combination of luxury and low-key.

"This is simply a work of art!" exclaimed a friend.

Liu Yi smiled and said: "Thanks to Master Lei's ingenuity, we can achieve such an effect."

Everyone strolled in the courtyard, appreciating every exquisite detail. Although it was still luxurious, it would not arouse the prying eyes and jealousy of others.

As night falls, the lights in the courtyard are turned on. Under the warm yellow light, the gold bricks reflect a faint glow, making the whole courtyard look even more cozy.

Liu Yi stood in the courtyard, looking at everything in front of him with satisfaction. He knew that this courtyard was not only his home, but also a symbol of his love for traditional culture and his pursuit of quality of life.
