四合院是旧时北京人的住宅,离紫禁城近的地方,住的多数是皇亲国戚,离城远的通常才是普通人家。院子的朝向、大小都反映着宅子主人的财富和权力。北京现存的标准四合院并不多,大部分已经被改造成大杂院,失去了原有的韵味。硕果仅存的,住了非富即贵的主儿。想体验旧时王公贵族的排场生活或在私家小院感受老北京那种人与人之间的亲切感,唯一的办法就是带眼动嘴奔四合院。 Siheyuan is a former residence of Beijingers, near the Forbidden City, most of them live in relatives of imperial civilians, often far from the city is ordinary people. The orientation and size of the yard reflect the wealth and power of the owner’s house. Beijing’s existing standard courtyard is not much, most of them have been transformed into a compound, lost the original charm. The only remaining fruit, living in non-rich or expensive advocates. The only way to experience the venerable lives of kings and nobility or to experience the intimacy of old Beijing in a private courtyard is to look at the courtyard.
