The flowing water cuts through the rain chain, like the gentle murmur of time. The flame burns still in the fireplace, like a lamp of the heart that never goes out. Here, space becomes a narrative of the spirit. Qingmei Design said, "At the boundary between the hustle and bustle and the silence, we use space as paper and the five rhymes as ink to write a scroll of an Oriental poetic realm that is both navigable and habitable." This case takes the "Five Rhymes" as its philosophical thread, uses dark tones as its emotional background, integrates the spirit of nature into the contemporary context, and constructs an immersive journey that connects vision, hearing and the soul. This is not merely an exhibition hall; it is a profound dialogue with Eastern aesthetics and a spiritual journey of inward exploration.

As dusk fell, the stone slabs were slightly cool, and the candle flames were just beginning to ignite. We condensed this moment of tranquility and poetry into a spiritual vessel named "Five Rhythms Flowing Form". In the original building, the circulation lines were interwoven and the sense of ceremony was thin. We restructured the spatial order with a dual-elevator system, added independent passenger elevators, and connected the three floors of the site. The guests followed the light, and as they moved, the scenery changed. Eventually, they arrived at a leisurely pace, embarking on a journey of pure body and mind. In this small space, we have sown the seeds of the Five rhythms. What they have grown into is not just individual rooms, but a state of mind. May you, here, listen to the stillness in the water, find warmth in the fire, see your true nature in the wood, stand firm in the earth, and pick up the light in the metal. This place is not only an exhibition hall but also a homeland of Eastern spirit, waiting for every returning person to rediscover the mountains and waters within their hearts.

The rain chain wall at the entrance serves as an emotional thread of the space. The water cascades down from the top and strikes the stone plate, making a sound like pearls and jade and forming a shape like a curtain. Here, the charm of water is not only a visual purification but also a cleansing of the soul. Gold is silent, yet it illuminates the charm of the entire room. The walls are partially covered with copper materials. Golden threads are hidden in the art installations, like the faint light in the twilight, revealing a spirit in a low-key manner and endowing the space with a high sense of ceremony.

The withered branches hanging from the entrance are not the end of life, but the beginning of another existence. It echoes the green plants dotted in the space, telling the Oriental Zen meaning of "There is a time for withering and flourishing, but life never ceases." Red, like cinnabar in ink, ignites the tension of space. The alcohol fireplace was quietly burning a warm flame, neither intense nor fierce, yet it illuminated the spiritual warmth of the entire venue, creating a sense of comfort and composure. The black rock bar counter and the landscape and cloud stones form the base of the space. The dark color is not oppressive but rather comes from the earth-like inclusiveness and accumulation, supporting the entire venue's charm and grandeur.

Two white peacocks stand still at the junction of light and shadow, their feathers like fresh snow and their eyes like deep pools. They do not belong to the mundane world but are the inherent guardians of this dark landscape. Eastern aesthetics advocate leaving blank Spaces, and they are the most abundant "white" in space. They remain silent, yet they convey the ancient wisdom that "stillness breeds wisdom." Here, beauty is not seen but perceived. Only by pausing can we meet. A tribute to the painter An Huaping's work - symbolizing auspiciousness and vigilance, infusing the banquet space with spirituality and artistic depth.

Led by "water", the rain chain is like the strings of a zither, weaving the light of the sky and the sound of water into a hazy curtain. In front of the red background stands a stone with pride, withered branches slanting out, and white peacocks silently looking back, jointly forming a miniature landscape of the Song Dynasty. Here, before entering the room, one first purifies the heart and completes a ritual transition from disturbance to tranquility. The flowing water strikes the stones, and the clear sound lingers on the beams, as if filtering out all the hustle and bustle of the world.

The black rock bar counter, like ink jade just beginning to solidify, steadily anchors the tone of the space. Above it, the designer's original wooden "paper airplane" installation floats lightly. The graceful dance of the warm wood and paper is like an unfulfilled childhood dream frozen in this moment. Light passes through it, casting dynamic shadows, as if time and imagination are allowed to fly briefly here, making it the most freehand stroke of white space.

The round table and square roof, in line with the traditional cosmology of "round inside and square outside", create a stable and inclusive field atmosphere. The entire wall of ink-wash bamboo scrolls slowly unfurled, with a misty ink color and continuous brushstrokes. Walking through it is like stepping into a moving long scroll. The light and shadow meander among the bamboo shadows, and the state of mind also becomes calm and profound, experiencing the pleasure of "not leaving the banquet hall, sitting in the forest and spring" in the Oriental style of lying and wandering.

By ingeniously taking advantage of the gaps in the walls to "carve out scenes", the Chinese-style window lattices have become frames for capturing light and shadow. In a single day, the light trails shifted, painting ever-changing pictures on the walls and floors. A touch of vermilion skillfully adds the finishing touch, which not only enliven the vision but also subtly pays tribute to the latticed window aesthetics of classical gardens. In a small space, one can catch a glimpse of the boundless vitality of the vast world.

In a corner, a vintage red film camera stands still like an artistic sculpture. It infuses the serene Eastern atmosphere with a touch of warm modern romance. It remains silent, yet it seems as if there are old melodies lingering in the space, creating a sense of dialogue that transcends time and space, allowing the classic and the modern to resonate harmoniously at this moment.

This place is private and bright, discarding the dullness of traditional card rooms. The design combines functionality with the leisurely and refined tastes of scholars and literati. The light, carefully arranged, was soft and bright, falling on the card table as well as on the smiling and chatting faces. Here, wisdom and leisure complement each other perfectly. Within the small space of the chess game, there is also a relaxation and ease of the mind.

In the exhibition hall titled "Five Rhythms Build the Soul, Dark Colors Form the Bone", the barriers between tradition and modernity, business and art, function and artistic conception are deconstructed. We transcend formal expression and return to the core of aesthetics. It's not about piling up elements, but about creating an artistic conception. It's not a visual impact, but a touch of the soul.

Here, one sees the universe, all things, and oneself. When the five rhythms enter, there is a world of its own.
