荫餘堂... 荫求祖荫﹐餘祈富餘﹐三个字里包含了多少世代相传﹐生生不息的想望。 　　荫餘堂是一栋典型的徽州建筑。徽州位於安徽南陲，地处黄山白岳之间﹐所耕地有限﹐百分之九十的居民远走外省市从商。1127 年南宋迁都临安(今浙江杭州)，兴土木，筑宫殿，引发了徽州商人从事竹、木、漆的建筑营业，也培养了许多徽州工匠。徽商致富还乡，在家乡兴建住宅﹐形成有徽州特色的建筑风格。 　　徽州建筑的特色﹐一是外围东西两面有高过屋脊的马头墙﹐用意在防火及护瓦﹔但是墙的设计﹐或见人字形斜下﹐或见山字形高突﹐层层仆落﹐次垒分明﹐簷角青瓦飞扬﹐衬落著白墙﹐跌宕有致。图见黟县西递村鳞次櫛比的屋脊﹐西递村建於北宋元丰年间，有保存完好的124 幢明﹑清建筑，代表了徽州建筑艺术的典范。 　　徽州建筑另一特色是四水归堂的天井。经商人怕财源流失，建造天井，一来可以透光及通风﹐二来可以防止屋脊的雨水流向屋外﹔雨水导入天井之中，图它财不外流的吉利。一座天井院落﹐是一个自然单元。进大门有前庭，两侧有厢房﹐中设天井，后设厅堂。厅堂以中门隔开，设一堂二卧室，是为一进。豪华的民宅可以有十二﹑二十四﹑甚至三十六个天井。 　　徽州建筑还有一个小故事﹕相传当年宋太祖御驾徽州遇雨，在一家民宅的屋簷下避雨，但是屋簷短小 - 请参考附图太祖的驾式 - 太祖被淋得浑身溼透，居民发现当今天子竟在自家门口，慌忙开门请罪。太祖问他屋簷为什么造得这般短小？居民答说是祖上沿袭下来的风俗，太祖便建议：祖传旧制不便更改，但可在屋簷下再造一个屋簷，以利行人避雨。皇上既开金口﹐小民自然遵旨，当即请人在门、窗上加修了一道屋簷﹐称为短簷。世代相袭﹐也成了徽州建筑的特色。 　　徽州建筑内部更是令人嘆为观止。讲究的﹐在天井院落中设置假山﹑挖掘鱼池﹑追逐园林奇趣。厅堂内门槛﹑樑柱﹑窗框上处处有木雕装饰﹐取材於山川日月﹑松鹤云涛﹐力求精美繁复﹐与外部的简洁形成鲜明的对比，徽派建筑中著名的三雕 - 木雕、砖雕、石雕在徽州建筑里表现得淋漓尽致。 　　荫餘堂是徽州黄村黄氏商人於 1800 年所建﹐黄氏子孙在这栋祖传的楼房里居住﹐历经八代﹐将近二百年。1996 年﹐第三十四代的黄 Zhenxin 决定将荫餘堂出售﹐正逢 Nancy Berliner ﹐一位东方艺术学者﹐也是 Peabody Essex 博物馆的收藏负责人之一﹐在徽州探访古蹟﹐更逢黄山市的古蹟保护局想借用美国文教机构的影响力﹐来推广国际人士对徽州传统建筑的认识﹐於是一拍三合﹔黄山市与 Peabody Essex 博物馆签定文化交流计划﹐将荫餘堂一砖一瓦小心拆除﹐搬到 Peabody Essex 博物馆重建。 　　荫餘堂特展将於今年六月揭幕﹐有机会到麻州波士顿一行的人﹐何不将 Peabody Essex 博物馆列入活动项目﹖当然﹐真要看徽州建筑的精华﹐恐怕还是得跋涉千里﹐去安徽黟县看个仔细。 　　若是公务繁忙﹐无暇出门旅游﹐却也无妨﹐Peabody Essex 博物馆为了这一个徽州建筑特展﹐聘请专家精心设计了荫餘堂网站﹐介绍特展的缘起﹐荫餘堂的历史背景﹐黄家的家族佚事﹐以及荫餘堂详细的建筑构造。这是一个设计绝佳的网站﹐不论你是否打算去参观荫餘堂特展﹐都应该先上网流连。

Intrigues, confrontations, conspiracies are inherent not only to the royal palaces. In places of deprivation of liberty serious passions flare up. in the mid-forties the criminal world of the Soviet Union is divided into two opposing camps. The so-called "thieves in law", accustomed to living by "concepts" and sacredly reading the criminal laws, entered into a merciless struggle for power with "bitches", criminals who decided to end the criminal past and actively cooperated with the administration of the camps. Many representatives of the thieves' community, having taken up arms, defended their homeland on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War. Many, remained faithful to the thieves' laws and did not respond to the call, having chosen prison bunks. But the war was over and the "bitches" tried to regain their position in the underworld. But they were regarded in the thieves' brotherhood as traitors. Between the thieves elite "bough war." War is not for life, but for death. The authorities used this war for their own purposes.
