Dreaming Of The Tang Dynasty: The Designer'S Immersion Banquet

Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty: the designer's immersive banquet

Zheng Jing: "good night banquet" at one table every night for 3 hours. In the midfield, there are Pipa music and pitcher games.

This is a picture of Han Xizai's banquet.

In the aesthetic system of Chinese traditional culture, there is always a distinction between elegance and elegance.

Elegant, such as lotus water, colorful gold, each has its own good.

But in the field of home, when it comes to tradition, it is narrowly defined as the new Chinese style of plain and light, even to the point where no one else can smoke.

Designers and Wang Yang and Zhou Ping set up the "good night banquet" and chose to talk about Chinese culture in a thick and colorful way.

A picture of Han Xizai's banquet has become the object of study for many scholars. But in the eyes of two couples of Zhou Ping and Wang Yang, they see a banquet with wine, meat and music, which is the flavor of Tang Dynasty, which is what they want to do.

More than 10 years ago, Wang Yang and Zhou Ping returned from Germany and started a pine nut design company to do various cultural design projects.

They have made senior orders for their guests, have consulted for the cultural industry, have their own brand "YAANG life", and have set up design shops in hot spots such as Xintiandi and Yuyuan Road.

But then they discovered that their true love is still eating.

In fact, it is the market that drives the designer to make a choice. When people are no longer willing to shop and no longer want to go to the physical store, only the restaurant can remain active.

Whether it is the red net shop that is alive and fragrant, or the homely homely restaurant, the Chinese people have always been very enthusiastic about eating.

There are different requirements for eating at different time and at different locations.

The restaurant opened by the designer is different from that of the chef.

According to Zhou Ping, everything he did was spreading Chinese culture, and eating was just a carrier.

Only this time they want to dream of the Tang Dynasty and make a bit of a delicious culture.

Search for the shadow of the Tang Dynasty in Nara, Japan

Designers open restaurants, have unique conditions to work hard in the environment.

From three years ago, we saw Zhou Ping and Wang Yang two people in the circle of friends in the sun.

For designers, designing for 365 days is a common occurrence.

But they are afraid of decorating their homes and their own storefront.

Quarrels, entanglements, and criticize, each link may make two people argue with each other, and push the relationship between husband and wife to the edge of a two beat.

Of course, in order to achieve common goals, we will seek common ground while reserving differences and continue to struggle.

Zhou Ping said that in order to find inspiration for design, he turned over more than 300 books and traveled thousands of miles to find the shadow of Tang Dynasty.

For example, before going to so many times in Japan, all of them went to hot springs and mountain climbing to enjoy the scenery, and this time is to go to Nara to see Tang Zhao Ti temple.

The Japanese national treasure temple was presided over by Jian Zhen monk, a typical architectural style in the Tang Dynasty.

Hsiao-Hsien Hou's movie "Assassin Nie Nien Nien" also refers to here, copy real scene shooting.

The Tang Dynasty architecture, which can be found in China, is now only four. All of them are located in Shanxi. Among them, the Buddha Temple of Mount Wutai was discovered by Liang Sicheng and Lin Whei-yin couple, but the dilapidated scene can no longer reproduce the glory of the Tang Dynasty.

A good banquet, from the door to see the red, red dazzling kind.

The 3D reliefs on the wall of the front hall can see the style of the collection temple from Nara, as well as Penglaige, the five towers, the wonderland of the Daming Palace, and the flying crane.

Along the way, we could see the scenery with the element of Xiang Xiang ting.

Xiang Xiang Ting, according to legend, is the place where Tang Minghuang and Yang concubine enjoy the cool. The pavilion is built with aloes, so the name is taken.

The way of creating this fairyland in the world tells you that this is a grandiose secular world.

Over the next three hours, the guests will be eating and drinking in such an atmosphere. 3D images will keep prompting this meal to have a theme.

How to digest the Tang Dynasty?

This immersive sensory restaurant is not the first one.

Diners will think of UV, a Michelin restaurant of the same style.

It's a restaurant with Chef Paul as its soul.

A good banquet is the main culture card, hoping to bring you an experience.

Of course, eating is the highlight of experience.

After all, 4800 per capita, the price is not bad, one night a table, a table 12 people.

What to eat is still crucial.

At the beginning of the business, the first meal menu of the restaurant was "Tang ten music", which was divided into 5 chapters. There were eighteen dishes and eighteen glasses of wine.

Each dish has corresponding images and music matching.

Within three hours, if the diners have a heart, they can generally feel all aspects of the Tang Dynasty's history.

The first chapter starts from black and white, between heaven and earth, whether there is a river or not. In the poetic and artistic conception of Wang Wei, the first dish is two eggs, one black and one white.

Molecular cuisine makes food a game, and it is fun to match the artistic atmosphere.

Video and music are necessary supplements when food is not refined.

The fish swimming on the table, the blooming flowers, and the three dimensional animation of the Han Gong Chun Xiao map are all trying to make the guests feel welcome.

At the beginning of the third chapter, on the screen, a Tang Dynasty lady dressed in a dresser, painted eyebrow, applique, and lips, and finally smiled in front of everyone.

On the night I went to experience, there was a middle-aged Japanese man who was staring at the picture and put the garnish in his mouth.

This dish is packed in a makeup box, first eating lipstick paper, and then eating the rouge blended with foie gras and fermented bean curd.

Three hours' meal time is also a challenge for diners.

The restaurant arranged an interval.

First listen to a pipa playing, then play a pitcher game.

When playing, there is a commentary on the side of the service staff. This is the most popular game in the Tang Dynasty banquet.

Everyone drinks and eats snacks, and throws plumes at the copper kettle.

But the pipa tune in front of it was rarely recognized by the famous "Pipa line".

"The big string is noisy, like the rain, the little string is whispered.

The noise is loud and clear, with big balls and small beads falling on the jade plate.

The carefully arranged link was neglected, and the host was somewhat sorry.

But Wang Yang also explained that "Chinese culture sometimes gives people the feeling of being silent."

Also, if someone has been preaching to you for a while, what is this? What is that?

Eating a meal is like three hours of history lessons, and the pressure is really too great.

How to balance culture and food should be considered by Zhou Ping and Wang Yang.

The Tang Dynasty is very long. There are 289 years.
