4. Dali Three Pagodas of China's ancient pagoda everywhere, but the three ancient tower-shaped standing together, but finished very few. Is this the famous Three Pagodas of Dali. Also due to Jin Yong's "Tian Long Ba Bu" and even more famous. Before coming here, tour guides let us imagine what Chong Sheng Temple look like, I also heart wonder, why let us imagine that? Dali Three Pagodas in Dali City, the original west shore of Lake Erhai, Chong Sheng Temple was originally a part of the temple is no longer survival, tower is still standing as before. Dali in 1925 a major earthquake in the region, both inside and outside the city almost all the houses collapsed, but only one li from the city of Dali, Three Pagodas, but unharmed. Grand Tower, also known as Chihiro tower, 69.13 meters high, is the seat of the brick tower square Miyan Shi, a total of 16 layers, shape and Small Wild Goose Pagoda Xi'an, similar to the Tang Dynasty, one of the typical tower. Tower hearts empty, in ancient times there are well-shaped staircase, you can for people to climb. Each corner tower of the Jinpeng Copper a bird, legend of the Lady in the Water for the suppression of Erhai Lake monster. Since the top of the tower overlooking the east, to make into the Erhai scenic fundus. Now the stairs has been bad, visitors have not climbed the tower. Inlaid marble monument engraved on Zhaobi "Yong Town, mountains and rivers," four letters, font vigorous strong. In the large tower on both sides of the separation of North and South, two small towers, a pair of octagonal brick tower. Three Pagodas seamless, imposing, with ancient national style.
Repairs in 1979, when three towers, tower in Spirited Away, and written by Taki found by volume, lettering copper, bronze mirrors, as well as gold, silver, copper, iron, porcelain, wood, jade, crystal and other statues, all A total of more than 600 kinds of medicinal parts, is by far the discovery Nanzhao, Dali during the most abundant group of cultural relics. These artifacts can be seen from the Han culture on the border of the far-reaching impact in minority areas. More than a thousand years, the Three Pagodas through wind and rain erosion, as well as several strong earthquakes, is still standing intact, it shows the working people in ancient China superior construction techniques and the wisdom of ancient cultures is a symbol of Dali.
With regard to the construction of Three Towers age, many say, is generally accepted that Chihiro tower was built in the Tang Dynasty period Nanzhao country. A few years ago, when the repair tower, take the tower's timber of radioactive carbon dating, the era of building a tower are far from the Tang Dynasty, but in its economic base to build three towers and technical conditions, there were only late in the Nanzhao蜞distance between the parties is possible to open an adult. The south and north tower of the second tower was repaired in the Great after the modified to, about when was built in Huizong. As the three-tower high historical, scientific and artistic value. Three Pagodas in 1975, when repairs to the appearance of the tiling Chihiro tower removed, but also the hidden parts of the tower plus a steel hoop, for irrigation water mud cracks, so that ancient tower have been reinforced, but also repaired Tasha, so that It resumed its original appearance before the Ming Dynasty. However, we see two small towers has clearly tilted.
5. Romantic picturesque Dali throughout the year, in the many scenic spots are concerned, wind, flower, snow, on the most famous and fascinating King 4. With regard to the wind, flower, snow, scene four months, the local Bai people have passed down for generations to come a riddle poem, poem reads:
Insects into the nest not seen a bird Feng (wind), seven head of long grass (Flower);
Yokoyama under the rain (snow), half-friend gone (months).
In January 1962, a famous Chinese writer Cao Yu Guo Dali, the Dali of the wind, flowers, snow, filled with emotion on four King, assigned to stay romantic poem:
Shimonoseki wind, the closed flower, the wind off Shimonoseki flowers;
Cangshan snow, Erhai month, according to Erhai Cangshan on snow.
Shimonoseki wind, strong wind Shimonoseki seasons of the year, and sometimes wind up to eight or more. With regard to Shimonoseki wind, there is a beautiful legend. According to legend, lived in the Cangshan sun peak of a white fox, and she fell in love with Bai Shimonoseki, a scholar, so turn into human form and scholar exchanges, they love to do is Erhai Master Luo Quan Luo Quan Temple was found, he can not be with them, they cast will be the student into the Erhai Lake. Fox woman to save the student, to help in the South China Sea Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin gave her six bottles of the wind, so she used the bottle of water the wind will dry Erhai Lake to rescue a scholar. When the fox woman with six bottles of the wind back to Shimonoseki Tianshengqiao when met with Luo Quan Master plot against, fell to the ground, smashing five bottles of wind, then all gathered in the Tianshengqiao on the wind, so Shimonoseki wind is particularly great. According to scientific explanation, because Cangshan Shijiu Feng is too high, blocking the eastern and western sides of the air convection, while the Cangshan sun peaks and sorrow of those who labor mountains between Mount Hill Shimonoseki Shimonoseki Tianshengqiao Canyon is only the export of air convection, Therefore, Shimonoseki, particularly wind, especially in the winter season, walking the streets in front of Tianshengqiao Canyon, where the big wind of people standing not live.
On the closed flower, the clouds closed in Dali Cangshan get the foot peaks, has been formed since the Tang Dynasty marble surround and protect the fortress. Off outside the village in the trees flower tree called "ten-mile Romance," the flower tree, legend of the immortal Lu Tung-pin of the kinds of flowers as big as a lotus, open 12 a year, a leap year to open 13, colored yellow and white and white, beautiful seductive. Flower after a Nutshell black hard, can do toward beads, and thus also known as Zhu-Hua Chao. To the late Qing Dynasty, due to too many people travel concept, especially in this Guanfu of the dignitaries of flowers, should be treated the local Bai people, the people could not bear the burden of such a free ride, they had spent on the threshold of the customs. According to research, the closed lotus flower is the wood, this spending can be seen everywhere in Dali.
Cangshan snow, snow on the Cangshan why the millennium is not based, in the Dali people circulating a beautiful legend. According to legend, in ancient times, there are a number of the god of plague in GTA in Dali Bazi, so that the people "10 people dead nine people sick." Bai two siblings have to save the suffering people, in the study of law under the guidance of Goddess of Mercy returned to the god of plague were expel Cangshan top, so that the snow froze to death. In order for the god of plague and never bring them back, and my sister has turned into the snow gods, the god of plague on the Cangshan never quell, so there will be a peak Cangshan Snowman thousand years of snow. In fact because of Cangshan high altitude, low temperature the sake of the Peak.
Erhai month, every Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival evening of August 15, living in the edge of Erhai Lake in Dali Bai people should be classified into the Erhai Lake in the wooden boat and enjoy the form a contrast in the sea of gold moon, daylight, clouds, the moon and sea in the corresponding together to form a beautiful picture. With regard to Erhai month, the most widely accepted is the heavenly princess descend to earth story. Temple legend has a happy princess envious earth's life, came down to the edge of Erhai Lake, a fishing village with a fisherman married. Princess In order to help the fishermen lead a life of ample food and clothing, put their own Hokyo submerged by the sea, the fish according to a clear picture, so that fishermen could reach more fish. Since then, Hokyo in Haiti, became a golden moon, stood light, shining for generations of fishing people, so they have become "Erhai Month" for people to watch.
