This book is very interesting! Especially the description of the house allows me to imagine the beautiful picture of the elegant and clean house and the beautiful house. Moreover, the author also has unique insights into architecture and decoration, such as using Xiangfei bamboo as door lattice and ancient green butterflies as door knockers. It feels so exquisite! However, it would be better if there were more actual cases to refer to, what do you think?
The consumption of wealthy people in ancient times was still elegant
