This case is located at Xi Jia Da Tang, which is named S480 Dining Villa (which means: four hundred and eighty temples).
Its English name is S480 Dining Villa because the Southern Dynasty is from 420 BC to 589 BC. S, which is the pun of the English abbreviation, means south and also southern in the Southern Dynasty. And it can also be interpreted as since 480, i.e., since the Southern Dynasty.
The literati space inevitably reflects the spiritual orientation of “Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism” as well as the pursuit for beautiful scenery and a secular life.
The public space combined both the ancient and contemporary art and life, reflecting the designer’s literary accomplishment. The design revolves around the story of the literati’s collection, showing the beauty of life at that time; and while reflecting the ancient memory, the design is also rewriting a new story of contemporary spiritual life.
Inclusive Space
This the simply style in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the gorgeous style in the Sui and Tang Dynasties are well combined at this room. The main tone of the Southern Dynasty is between the simply style and gorgeous style at a moderate level. The black dark matte wood veneer lining and the abstract oil painting came from the abstract painting “Travel to Snow Mountain” painted by Zhang Sengyao, a famous painting in the Southern Liang Dynasty, with a good balance.
