Aunt Linda, who has studied 7 majors, is a very talkative, enthusiastic, smiling, and sincere partner. She is a learned person and an interesting soul. She also owns a B & B.

She said,"Running a B & B is much more difficult than reading those professional books! So I have to read more books and learn more professional knowledge!"



At first, people will be curious about her major. She has seven majors and holds degrees in engineering, literature, and science. What is even more exaggerated is cross-border! He has a degree in science from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is a professional scientific and technological talent; there is also a degree in literature from the Central Academy of Fine Arts and is a painter! No matter how I think about it, I feel that these two schools are not compatible?

Then people will be curious about her profession, whether it is technical translation or interpretation; people think this is a difficult job, and she actually says,"It's easy, I know what to do!"



When everyone asked about B & Bs, she excitedly talked about site selection, construction, management, etc., saying everything she knew and endless.

Originally, the earth's aunt opened a B & B because of the "mid-life crisis". She said that women who are nearly 40 years old are past the best age for interpretation and still take care of their families, so they have few options for starting a business. Either high-tech or low-tech; if the threshold of high-tech cannot be reached, you can only choose low-tech. There were not many low-tech options, either catering or B & B; the earth aunt, who only knew how to cook a few courses, chose to open a B & B.

Her family was doing strategic planning, so they chose the Great Wall and insisted on choosing the first outpost of the Badaling Great Wall, Qiaodao Ancient City. Aunt Earth introduced that the atmosphere at the foot of the Great Wall is very special, as if it embodies the power of time and space. Guests and friends all like it very much, and everyone will gather here and have a chat.



about architecture

Architecture is the unique skill of Aunt Earth. She asked the 74-year-old master of the Shi family in the village (the person who restored the Tsinghua Sundial) to rebuild three rows of ancient buildings. Drawing on the elements of Gong Wang's Mansion, the high-standard ancient building was reproduced (the corridor in the front and the Bao Xia in the back), and the Qin Pavilion was also restored from ancient paintings.

While building a house, Aunt Earth taught herself courses majoring in ancient architecture in Beijing Construction Engineering, and almost applied for a doctorate in ancient architecture. She joked,"We drew gearboxes when we were a child, so we could understand building drawings." After the house was completed, she actively applied for patents for the house; she also joined the Beijing Courtyard Industry Development Promotion Association to further participate in the development and innovation of Chinese buildings.



Aunt Earth's point of view is "Because architecture is the context of the city, architecture is a very good carrier when we practice 'cultural self-confidence'." If conditions permit, please restore as many ancient buildings as possible. There are not many people who know this craft, so they must preserve and inherit it! She also added that "the application of modern comprehensive materials and the optimization of design plans can make traditional Chinese buildings suitable for modern people's lives." If you need any help and have any questions, you can go to Badaling to find Aunt Earth for details.



for the operation of the

Aunt Earth's view is very strange. She believes:

B & B 1.0 is an inn spontaneously operated by villagers and is full of original ecology;

B & B 2.0 is a village renovated by people, which fully reflects the sense of modernity and design;

B & B 3.0 is a rural branch of the hotel industry, which is compatible with lower versions and develops in chains;

B & B 4.0 is these students and partners of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Central Academy of Fine Arts... Natural history B & B, artist private homes, and spiritual exchanges are fun."



For example, the theme of Aunt Earth's B & B is Earth Museum. She sorted out the history and celebrities of the village; painted the evolution of life on the ground; and arranged calligraphy and paintings by famous artists in her study room, as well as tables for piano, chess and calligraphy. There are really five tables in her study room, which are the daily life of her and her family, and everyone enjoys it.

Aunt Earth said,"Ten years of decoration, a century of building houses, and a thousand years of gardening. She is going through cultivation from a hundred to a thousand years."



The courtyard of the Earth Museum is a three-way courtyard, that is, there are three independent courtyards and a terrace courtyard in the sky. Each courtyard has its unique elegance and atmosphere.

The owner's yard should be dominated by "lofty righteousness";

Guests 'courtyards should be mainly "clean and elegant";

The courtyard where friends gather should be dominated by "human fireworks";

Standing side by side with the city wall and overlooking the Great Wall, the terrace should be mainly "heart-warming and heart-stirring".



During the year of operation, many happy memories have been left in the courtyard. Here, you can feel Qi Jiguang's determination to rebuild the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty; you can feel Zhan Tianyou's difficulty and hard work in building the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway; you can also feel the mind of the great man who "looks inside and outside the Great Wall, but only the wildness is left".

Aunt Earth said that this courtyard brought her many interesting encounters. She met talented artists, met visionary wise men, met many talented teenagers and their parents, and also met the old principal's good friend.

We look forward to more knowledgeable scholars investing in rural revitalization. Rural revitalization is mainly about doing five revitalization tasks, but I think the most important thing is talent revitalization. With the support of talents, the countryside will develop faster and better.



Aunt Earth's slogan,"Cultural confidence, I am taking action", she also gave some sincere suggestions:

Master's degree or doctoral degree, coming to the countryside to run B & Bs does not waste talents at all; the countryside will allow us to know a broader world.

Whether or not you are engaged in rural revitalization work, you must come to the countryside often to bring more vitality to the countryside.

For those who love life, have expertise, and have leisure time, go build a natural history B & Bs and present your ideas!

Before doing this, it is necessary to get to know Aunt Earth.

Seriously consider, in B & B, fully or partially restoring ancient buildings; the cultural heritage that has been passed down for thousands of years will nourish our body and mind.

This is not only an investment, but also a serious creation of a work that will move others.

The amount of investment does not have to be large, and the concept and design must come first. It comes from the heart, and sincerity leads to spirit.

A building and design worthy of time and space will give you corresponding rewards.

Building the motherland will always be worth our efforts. The matter of rural revitalization is worthy of scholars to "take off their long clothes" and move forward.

Cultural confidence, I am taking action. While society develops, there is not only high technology, but also the application of high technology concepts to all aspects of life, including of course our culture and life.
