　　At the beginning of the 21st century, Shikumen Lane in Shanghai is still aconcentrated expression of dilapidated, crowded and poor living conditions inthe minds of many young people. Fortunately, even so, there are still a group ofnostalgic literary masters who make architectural culture complex, so that manypeople find the beauty hidden behind it.

　　In Shanghai Xintiandi Shanghai language, it is called "hoop" such as hoop,wrapped or wrapped by one thing, such as a hoop, so the building of the stonehoop gate is called "stone hoop gate" and then it is falsely called "Shikumen".It is generally believed that the main gate of this kind of building is made ofstone with solid thick wood and a copper ring. Compared with traditional Chinesehouses, it tends to be conservative. Shikumen residence in Shanghai rose in the1860s. In 1860, the Taiping Army headed by Li Xiucheng, a loyal king, launchedan eastward movement to conquer Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, Ningbo andother cities in southern Jiangsu and Northern Zhejiang, forcing tens ofthousands of refugees from southern Jiangsu and Northern Zhejiang to seek refugein Shanghai concession. In order to accept the refugees, the concessionmobilized businessmen to invest in housing construction. In order to make fulluse of the land, most of these houses were built as row connected Shikumen lanehouses. In order to cater to the traditional Chinese family living style,Shikumen not only imitates the western style houses, but also imitates thecommon houses in the south of the Yangtze River. After entering the door, thereis a patio. Behind the patio is the living room (called "guest hall" byShanghainese). Then there is the back patio. After the day after tomorrow, thereis the kitchen and the back door.

　　On both sides of the patio and the guest hall are the left and right wingrooms. The layout of the second floor is basically similar to that of the groundfloor, except that the upper part of the kitchen is the "Pavilion", and theupper part is the sun terrace. Its representative buildings include xingrenli,which covers an area of 1.33 hectares, on the east side of Henan Middle Road,between Ningbo Road and Beijing Road, and dunrenli, mianyangli, Jixiang Li,etc., on xintoujie street, Zhongshan South Road. After the beginning of thiscentury, with the change of Shanghai residents' family structure to small familystructure, the living habits of residents have also changed significantly. Thestructure and style of Shikumen residence have changed. There are "singleentrance" (no wing room) and "two entrances" (one passenger hall and one wingroom) suitable for small families. It has a large scale, the lane is about 4meters wide, and the floors are mainly 2-3 floors; pavilions are set at thestair platform, and balconies are used in the facade; 20__ After the s, sanitaryequipment was generally installed. Its representative buildings include Jing'anvilla on Nanjing West Road and new mainland village on Shanyin road. After the1930s, due to the shortage of housing in Shanghai, some residents rented outtheir spare rooms to others, so most of the Shikumen changed their originaldesign intention and became a multi family house.

　　The Shikumen residence, which is from childish to mature, constitutes aLane community with private space and public space interlaced. In thiscommunity, while enjoying personal space, it is easier for residents tocultivate a more harmonious and intimate neighborhood relationship. As a result,we all know exactly what we cook and what's going on in that family. With theincrease of residential density, residents gradually move their familyactivities to the public space in the lane, which further strengthens theoriginal neighborhood intimacy. In the meantime, there are more and morefrictions, whether between young people or between young people and old people.These frictions and quarrels are just about "you use more of my gas", "youinvade my territory" and so on.

　　Shanghai Xintiandi Shikumen lane has more than 9000 places at most,accounting for more than 60% of the total residential area in Shanghai. Simplyfrom the perspective of architecture, Shikumen is the product of a specifichistorical period, which has a history of more than 100 years. Moreover, thespatial structure of some Shikumen is not suitable for the living concept ofmodern people, so it is normal for them to disappear. In the early 1990s,Shanghai began large-scale reconstruction and development. Many old houses inShikumen have been demolished and replaced by high-rise buildings one by one.One by one, old houses full of nostalgia are gradually disappearing. Only thendo people realize that they want to preserve these unique "artworks" inShanghai.

　　Shanghai Xintiandi rewrote the history of Shikumen, and injected newvitality into the Shikumen, which has already moved to historical relics.Walking in the new world is like returning time to the past. The green brickwalk, the red and green brick walls, the thick black paint gate and the lintelcarved with Baroque style swirling mountain flowers make tourists feel like theyare in Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s. However, stepping into the interior ofeach building is very modern and fashionable. The original partition walls ofevery house have been completely opened, presenting a spacious space. Thecentral air conditioning is like spring all the year round. The European stylefireplace and sofa are adjacent to the eight immortals table and Taishi chair inthe East. The bar and coffee room are in harmony with the teahouse and Chineserestaurant. The modern oil painting and the vertical old phonograph on the wallare quietly pouring out the owner's cultural taste. Outside the door is theShikumen alley with all kinds of customs. Inside the door is a completely modernway of life. In this way, one step away, it feels like a world away. It reallyfeels like crossing time and space.
