The Three Dimensions of Li Yu's Room Design Thought
From the economic and practical point of view of the literati and the civil class,Li Yu's"Casual Affair·House Department"in the early Qing Dynasty dared to break through the old system in the house design and explored many practical and elegant designs of the literati:first,his house design emphasized"out of the rut"to"new interest",or skillfully created a new system that was not seen by people,or changed the vulgar into elegant and refined,Thus,in the bedroom design,the perfect combination of edifying temperament and self-realization leads to"new interest";Second,its bedroom design emphasizes acting according to one's ability,not taking richness and extravagance as beauty,but taking nature and applicability as beauty,reflecting the"natural interest"of harmony between human settlements and nature;Third,the design of its bedroom should pay attention to practicality,proportion and comfort."Don't be extravagant",but"elegance".Its elegance is not the"quaint"interest of the literary magnate"Kuang Shi Huai",but the new and contemporary elegance of the middle and lower literati intellectuals to meet their personal interests and practical functions.Li Yu's advanced and contemporary design concept is still a rich mine for us to explore and study!
