"Rites are the order of heaven and earth." " Over the course of thousands of years, the reverence for "banquet" in the Chinese bloodline has long transcended the mere desire for food and drink, evolving into a supreme ritual that concerns the order of heaven and earth, human ethics and moral norms, and spiritual resonance. A banquet is the earnest invitation in the Book of Songs, which reads, "I have guests, playing the zither and the sheng." It is the elegant gathering spirit of "the meandering water and the flowing cups, with the seated ones coming second" as described in the "Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion". It is the elegant demeanor of "the host and guests enjoying the beauty of the southeast" under the grandeur of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It carries the unique hospitality, wisdom in dealing with the world and aesthetic interests of the East, and is a collective memory engraved in the cultural gene.

In the soft furnishing design presentation of Qujiang Jinmao Mansion, "Entering the East for a Feast" is precisely a contemporary interpretation of this spiritual core - we trace back to the past and present, using space as the narrative carrier, following the six-ritual thread of "invitation - welcome - entry - meeting - respect - offering", and using objects as the emotional medium, to reconstruct an Oriental aesthetic feast that connects the past and the present and links the body and mind. Space is not a static container but a flowing spiritual field. Activate the spirit of space and guide behavioral rituals through soft furnishing design. Every object, every beam of light and shadow, and every wisp of faint fragrance weaves a unique spatial experience in their interaction with people. We believe that true sophistication lies in the symbiosis of objects and space, and even more so in the spiritual resonance between space and people.

The depth of lacquer, the wildness of tree burls, the delicacy of eggshells and mother-of-pearl inlays, the warmth of ceramics and jade, the flexibility of silk, the sharpness of metals, the antiquity of wood fossils, and the magnificence of luxury stones... They jointly constructed the "Oriental texture" of the space. The melodious music and the profound and long-lasting aroma of the ebony agarwood weave an invisible sensory web, completely enveloping people in the Oriental artistic conception.

The long table with tree tumor texture extends like the veins of the earth, dotted with natural floral arrangements. Roughness and refinement are unified in contradiction. Capture the fleeting moment of sunlight passing through plants with Teacher Zhang Liping's light and shadow paintings, casting a hazy poem on the wall - light and shadow whisper here, and colors and forms interweave to create a subtle emotional map.

Space becomes the filter of the soul, and objects are the anchor points for settling thoughts. With the silence of the "Gravel Shadow" stone carving, it discards the hustle and bustle of the world. It does not rush but invites you to stop, breathe and settle down. Silently guiding visitors to shed the hustle and bustle, with their minds transitioning from movement to tranquility, it serves as a prelude to laying a spiritual foundation for the upcoming Oriental ceremony.

In the center of the carriage and horse hall, the golden art sculpture, like a frozen flame, bursts with tremendous tension and forms a visual focus. The wall lamps on both sides are designed symmetrically along the axis, using warm light to soften their firmness and create a sense of orderly balance. At the corner, I came across the white marble sculpture "Pu · Yun", as if it had grown naturally from the raw jade. Within its minimalist form, it conceals a grand rhythm of life and the beauty of harmony.

Entering the sand table area, Cheng Yifeng's sculpture "Natural Landscape" captures the charm of mountains and waters in a dynamic moment with a spiral ascending posture, serving as an entry point to trigger perception and awakening the viewers' deep resonance with the might of nature and the resilience of life, symbolizing the convergence of powerful energy and the ceaseless cycle of life.

The meaning of Qu Shui lies in its flow and convergence. The smooth furniture eliminates the sense of distance, the warm materials soothe the touch, and the warm color light and shadow create a sense of security and intimacy. The blend of retro and modern styles stirs up a relaxed atmosphere for conversation. The design of the lounge is well-versed in the essence of Eastern social interaction - comfort is the foundation of an elegant gathering. The interplay of objects and light and shadow weaves a diverse space for flower arrangements, tea parties, and incense appreciation, allowing people to relax their minds and bodies, initiating delicate experiences of taste, smell, and touch, and promoting natural and sincere communication between guests and hosts.

The art gallery is not a static gallery but an immersive cultural theater. The soil temperature of Cizhou Kiln, the profound power of lacquer paintings, and the intelligent structure of dougong, with "architectural aesthetics", "folk craftsmanship", and "natural and humanistic" as the core, deeply explore the local culture of Xi 'an, bringing the civilization of the thousand-year-old ancient capital back to life before our eyes.

In the private banquet hall, luxurious stones have become cultural symbols and emotional bonds. Here, what is shared is not only delicious food, but also the recognition of cultural roots and the resonance with the aesthetics of life. Music, chess, calligraphy, painting and tea ---- study and tea room are spiritual places. The Ming-style lattice partitions create private light zones, and the mother-of-pearl inlaid carnations appear and disappear in the side light. The tea table blocks are stacked together, with a texture resembling crisscrossing paths, subtly matching the longitude and latitude of a chess game. The silk strings await caress, the chessboard waits quietly, the ink fragrance can be dyed, the scroll awaits unfolding, and the tea smoke is about to rise - every vessel and object fully embodies the philosophy of creation in the East.

Poetic Fragrance Flower tea ---- Queen space emphasizes the blooming and sharing of "her" power. Poetic sentiment can blossom here, floral art comes alive at the fingertips, and the aroma of tea lingers with friendship amid laughter. Together, we cherish a unique joy and creativity. Space precisely responds to the spiritual demands of different groups, and objects become exquisite languages for self-expression and emotional connection.

The core of this "feast" has always been people. Space is not the backdrop of a stage; rather, it guides people's behaviors, shapes their emotions, and triggers their associations through the spiritual attributes of its layout and objects. When people walk, stay, use, and feel within the space, their actions themselves become part of this spatial ritual, endowing the static space with dynamic vitality. Space tells the stories of the East, and people, through the immersion of their five senses and the alignment of their behaviors, complete the interpretation of space, the recognition of culture, and the reflection of themselves in the contemporary context - this is the ultimate experience that "Entering the East for a Feast" aims to create: the integration of the self and the object, the continuation of the past and the present, and in the contemporary space, complete a deep resonance and spiritual return feast related to the spirit and life aesthetics of the East.
