Definite trip to ancient architecture tour Jiangzhou Ji Jing Qian's note:
I remember in college, the first time the chance, read a book on modern architecture Master Liang's book. It is this book and then I bought the books stand sits the "Qi Qiao structure building" (Liaoning Education Publishing House) became the ancient architecture led me to understand the "Enlightenment" books.
Since then, I am ancient Chinese also had a touch of architectural interest. Although I am not a school building, for some terms, or to create a French-style buildings are far from proficient. But, no matter how, after every time I once again look for places of interest, I would be in order to admire, respect the mentality of these ancestors left for us to look at the solidification of beauty. But no longer seem identical to those of the ancient buildings are boring, not to issue some words such as "is a house, nothing nice." Irresponsible but amplified like ignorant assessment.
I still recall that in the book about Liang's book, contains an article of his "Ancient Buildings Survey Ji slightly positive definite." Is precisely through this article I know Longxing Monastery Mani Temple, Kwong Wai Temple China Tower, Yang and the floor ... ... these have an important position in the history of Chinese architecture construction fine.
In 2002 a late, we arrived at the line of ancient culture in North Henan Hebei trip south last stop - Shijiazhuang. Naturally, I will not lose a definite. So, the next day, we wish to definite starting ... ...
Text that we got up early, out of the hotel, the days have not yet put light. The breakfast spread in the alleys, we are with dim lights, finished breakfast. He then rushed from the railway station to board the 207 sent to the definite way of CMB. The sanitary conditions on board is not to be commended. Fortunately, walked Anyang, Handan's we have become accustomed to this and, therefore, does not feel any unpleasant. Morning, like a lot of people who go to positive definite, car not so long already filled with people, so our car will be a smooth departure of the ... ...
Positive definite, formerly known as Sanesaka. Sanesaka one begins with the Western Han. Western Han period, in which the establishment of true Ding County. When the state renamed the town of Sui and Tang Dynasties. The Five Dynasties period l set it as true the government. Northern Song period, the true way to become the rule where the Hebei Road. Yuan, are they really set heyday. At that time, as the executive secretariat (area roughly including the current Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong Province, all, most of Inner Mongolia and Henan Province to the north) Seat (equivalent to this provincial capital) really set the location, city wall tall, fair lush, was the Yellow River to the north of the political, economic, and cultural centers. In literary history, this time set is the real creative center of Hebei Yuan Dynasty. In military terms, really be with Shandongdongping, Jinan, Taiyuan, Shanxi Province is a military stronghold north of the Yuan Dynasty of the Yellow River. Ming and Qing Dynasties, real statutory status has dropped somewhat, but still the government rule. Qing Dynasty Yongzheng, in order to avoid the taboo name of the emperor and renamed the positive definite, and still in use today. Definite can save so many famous buildings, is no accident.
Gives the impression that work had not been out of Shijiazhuang City, Zhengding toll station of the big names had already appeared before our eyes. Cars just to enter a positive definite bus station, a group of pedicab driver will be rushing toward us, their posture is very like robbery. Fortunately, we have several people able-bodied, together with reconnaissance work done in place. We are tight encirclement, heading straight towards Tai Buddhist temple in a way the CMB.
Zhengding County minibus driving in the most prosperous of ordinary mountain, into town when I do not see specifically mentioned in the positive definite Liang Ming city wall. Seeing that car drove through the county central axis, and I am actually an ancient building had not seen. Liang Ji tour with the "large number of old buildings in town," a far cry from the picture.
Finally, the distance, saw the two cornices, approaching a look, originally built by two descendants Journey to the West Palace, it is too unpleasant. Seeing that car must drive out of town, I only saw the towering tall temple, needless to say, it must be Longxing Monastery.
The red car turned palace walls along the south road, the long walls to verify that this is a huge temple. When the car stopped, I step out the door, the Longxing Monastery Heavenly King Hall is already standing in front of me was shocked.
Because it is low season, Longxing Monastery in front of it is desolate, our number of overseas visitors will be particularly noticeable, naturally became those who sell incense and a number of what the palace for what the guests pull the siege of the temple object. After a series of setbacks that we bought a ticket. (Fares 30 yuan, is the most expensive travel. However, they deeply value for money tour exhausted.)
Heavenly King Hall (which is now the main entrance of Longxing Monastery), for Danyanxieshan-style buildings, into the deep three, Miankuo 6, there is a roll of arches, the door hung a handwritten Kangxi Emperor, "Chi Jian Longxing Monastery," pitched a plaque , very dignified. According to Mr. Liang Sicheng to research, this hall of the main structure for the Song left behind, the external components of the Qing Dynasty style, apparently carried out major repairs in the Qing Dynasty. Temple decorated with a golden generation of wooden Buddha statues, Liang Zeng called Amitabha Buddha in the hands of the bag but its big belly is not difficult to see that happens, which is obviously more popular during the Jin and Yuan Dadu Buddha bag.
Entered the monastery, the present is a stone built station base, which is the original relics of the six divisions Hall (this palace was destroyed in the war). To bypass the station base, we can see the majestic tall Mani Temple. Seeing the past, only in books of Mani Temple stood in front of me, I am just as long to see the love between lovers, excitement difficult to contain.
In the past, whenever I appreciate the Song dynasty paintings, there will always be painting it patchwork, rich and varied architecture attracted by the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, these unique building or victims of natural disasters, or defeated man-made, very few survived. Preserved in the Song Dynasty are mostly left to build another traditional style, only this Mani Temple also help me appreciate the art of architecture deep in the Song Dynasty.
Mani the main hall, is one into the deep 7, Miankuo seven square palace. Also in the middle of the hall surrounded by a small Baosha out, as the hall entrance. Baoxia for the Xieshan Ding, Sange forward. Square prayer hall was built with double eaves and Xieshan Ding. The shape of these makes the hall become very complicated, it is the existing building in the Song of the most unique one.
Mani temple murals, painted sculptures equally precious. Mani is a square hall in the central temple of groove, which makes the temple was "back" shape. In the side walls of the south, in order to Song plastic Shakyamuni and Kassapa, Ananda two disciples and Ming plastic Manjusri, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva statue 2. Statue tall, vigorous, bearing extraordinary. The most amazing is that the hanging wall of the north wall of the Ming Dynasty pass the colorful plastic island Guanyin. Facing the wall, on the whole, the characters diverse, rocks, clouds linger during. Colorful still radiant. Sat down among the Goddess of Mercy is a dignified and cool lake, known as "Oriental America God." Something inside the tank and the main hall surrounded by painted on both sides of the Ming Dynasty paintings. Magnificent murals, the characters are many fine strokes. Unfortunately, the vast majority have been shed, it is regrettable.
Baoxia out from the north through the archway door, we can still see Jie Tan. Jie Tan Qing Dynasty architecture, from its carved beams you can see the painting. But I vaguely remember that in the article by Liang with the photograph, Jie Tan for the pavilion-style architecture. But now, around the puzzle on the wall, into housing. The altar was placed inside the Ming Dynasty are double-sided Buddha.
Out of the Jie Tan, to see the east and the west side of wheel Tibet House Cheshire Home Court. Liang, according to research, these two are also one of the few original construction of the Song Dynasty. We first went to the wheel Tibet House, visited the delicate wooden wheel possession of the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, the staircase to the second floor had been locked, so I can not make my own eyes Liang "happy mad" in the Song Dynasty brackets. Deeply regrets that I go straight to the west side of the Cheshire Home Court. Here, we encountered one as if by a body composed of tours, guided. We then followed, to listen to tour guides can also be easily explained.
When the tour guide introduced to Maitri ko is found in the Song Liang left to build, the delegation leader look like in a person who suddenly came to realize, quickly said, "Oh, I know that long ago, China Central Television broadcast too. Liang with his wife (referring to Lin Huiyin, Building scientist - author note) went here, They throw up a good emotion. "I hastened to the companion whispered," rumor ":" That "Oriental Horizon" Liang and Lin Huiyin talking about the Buddhist Temple in Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province searching for something. "Clearly my words were heard his leadership, his fierce back to us thrown a supercilious look. We also have got the message, shut the mouth of the ... ...
In the Cheshire Home where we have seen in the Song Dynasty Court Tianguan wood Buddha. This is the Buddha's original appearance, we notice Tatu Buddha, such as the Heavenly King Hall, and in fact finished the Buddha, originally known as bag monk. Only after the dollar is gaining popularity, and eventually replaced the Tianguan Buddha. Listening tour guide said that this is a wooden Buddha statues carved out. I am skeptical of this.
Cheshire Home Court in the north, there is a humble stone pass. Tour guide said it was "Yongjang monument." I did not expect a child, my grandfather through the common copy of the "Stele of Yongjang paste" is here. I remember his grandfather said that this stone inscription in the Sui Dynasty, and later still Ouyang Xiu found. I naturally can not miss, walked over to stand beside the monument, so that left a shadow companion.
Yongjang beside the monument, there are two Royal tablets pavilions, yellow glazed tiles shows its exclusive status. 2 Royal tablets pavilions are the Kangxi and Qianlong Emperor of the legislation. After the Royal tablets pavilions Longxing Monastery of the main building is the entire Great Mercy House.
Dabei Pavilion was built in the Song Dynasty and later destroyed in the war, the Qing Dynasty had Fangsong Agent System reconstruction. First century, the eighties, has been defective bear. The early nineties, the state allocated the original building demolished for redevelopment. Reconstruction, in order to restore both sides of the Yushu Song Dabei Pavilion building, set-Qing Court, to reduce the size of the Compassionate Club. Make Dabei Ge and Song Si-formed with greater access. With regard to the reconstruction of the details may be found in set-Qing Court on the second floor introduction.
The Great Mercy House is now 33 meters high, a total of three. Although slightly smaller than the size of Song Si, but still looks majestic. Dabei Pavilion We immediately went into a sight of the shock. Standing in front of me, it is known as "North China four treasures" of the positive definite big Buddha. Although, pre-departure information on the Great Buddha also read a lot, but to face him, or had been shaken by its magnificent momentum. Zhengding Great Bodhisattva Guanyin Qianshouqianyan full name, high 24 meters, Sung casting, is the largest copper works of art in ancient China.
Because the "leaders" want to buy amulets and the like, we left the tour down the stairs straight up to the three big Buddha's face more and more clear. Although prohibited taking pictures, but I still take advantage of the management personnel are not prepared, photographed by one. Bronze Buddha is too big can be, and Anjo index for the 24 flash, shoot photos is still vague. We advise that those who do not engage in senseless attempts, caught outside a ... ... better not caught.
Dabei Pavilion was built in the Ming after the generation of Amitabha Hall Danyanxieshan style. Ariake hall dedicated to Amitabha Buddha Xiang Yizun plastic gold-plated. Hall on both sides of the wind-room, is to do what Mummy Exhibition, I disdained to have a look. Through the Amitabha Hall, we will see the last one building Longxing Monastery - the Ming Dynasty piro-hall. The hall was originally located in the definite result of the North Gate Chong Temple, in 1959 to move to this. Therefore, the northern part of Longxing Monastery, the more out of one. This is why the original straight regular mountain to the Longxing Monastery, when a large bend Shui reason. Piro-hall for the double eaves Xieshan type, small and unique structure, it is able to represent the architectural features of the Ming Dynasty. Ariake hall is dedicated to quality piro bronze statues. Buddha sleek design and unique shape, a total of three, cast a 1000 Lianban, 1072 Buddha.
Transferred out of piro-Hall, we have to go back. Not forget to take pictures of important buildings along the way archived. Dabei Pavilion at the walk only when the Court suddenly discovered after a thick cypress. I stood tall and straight in the thick under the Millennium Cooper. Zhao Kuangyin said to have been brought in that year under a myriad of thoughts in this cypress. The Millennium stroke, numerous emperors, heroes have vanished in the long history of being long. This millennium died between the vicissitudes of life, things rise and fall seems to be able to say that only a clear tree Cooper. Life is short, such as the universe of the passer-by. I just stop for thousands of years in it at the foot of one of the millions of people admire it. One day I will disappear with the first one being on the river, while the retention known to the world, admired, and still or is this strain of old trees. I do not know the millennium later, when future generations look up to it again, when the Cooper strain, could be given me a sigh ... ...
