What are the characteristics of Angkor monuments?

The ancient city of Angkor is characterized by:

The stylobate, cloisters, paths and pagodas constitute the intricate architecture of Angkor Wat Temple. Its layout is large-scale, the proportion is symmetrical, the design is simple and solemn, and the details are gorgeous and exquisite. All buildings are made of sand and gravel, and there is no mortar or other adhesive between stones, which are combined by the regularity of stone surface shape and its own weight. Masons at that time probably didn't master the technology of voucher arch, so there was no main hall in Angkor Wat, and the doorway of the stone room was narrow and dark, and the artistic decoration was mainly concentrated outside the building. From the 9th century to15th century, it was the capital for a long time. The ancient city covers an area of about 15 square kilometers, surrounded by high walls and surrounded by palaces, temples and pagodas. It is a representative of ancient Cambodian art, and its exquisite architecture, vivid relief and ingenious design are unparalleled. There is a place in Cambodia where Tallinn and Ta Temple are more than 10 times that of Shaolin Temple, and that is the world-famous ancient city of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Cambodia is an ancient civilization with a long history.

186 1 year, the French naturalist henri mouhot came to Cambodia all the way. On the fifth day of entering the forest, he and four Cambodian entourage suddenly found five tall stone pagodas in the forest not far ahead, which were particularly clear and beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds, especially the tallest spire in the middle, shining in the setting sun. Since then, this ancient capital, buried in the vast forest and sleeping for more than 400 years, has finally reappeared in the world, with unique youth and vitality. Angkor Wat, a symbol of Cambodia and a treasure of human culture, was finally called "Four Wonders of the East" together with the Egyptian Pyramid, the Great Wall of China and the Indonesian Borobudur. Angkor, which means "city" in Sanskrit, was the capital of Angkor Dynasty from 9th century to15th century. It is mainly composed of a group of stone buildings and exquisite stone reliefs created from the 9th century to13rd century, which are divided into Big Angkor and Little Angkor. Big Angkor Wat, also known as Angkor Wat, "Tong" means city; Xiaowuge Cave, also known as Angkor Wat, means "the temple of the capital". Today, Angkor Wat is still well preserved. There are more than 600 buildings of different sizes scattered in a forest of about 45 square kilometers.

Angkor Wat was built in the heyday of Angkor Dynasty in the first half of12nd century. At that time, the Khmer King Suriye Pelnard Mohr II, who believed in Brahmanism, specially built this temple to worship the "protector" and show off his achievements, and set up a mausoleum for him after his death.

The ancient city of Angkor is a symbol of Cambodia and a pearl in the treasure house of human culture. Together with the pyramids in Egypt, the Great Wall in China and the Indonesian Polo Tower, it is called the "Four Wonders of the East". /kloc-During the heyday of Angkor Wat in the first half of the 20th century, Suriye Palma II, a Khmer king who believed in Brahmanism, built the famous Angkor Wat in order to sacrifice Vishnu, the god of protection, and show off his achievements.

Located in the north of Angkor Wat, the Great Angkor Wat [1] was a newly-built capital during the reign of Ba Maw VII. Angkor wat is very large, surrounded by moats. There are all kinds of beautiful pagodas, temples and temples in the city. The center of Angkor Wat is Bayan Temple, which, together with the middle tower of 16 and dozens of small towers symbolizing the provinces of 16 at that time, formed a perfect and neat stepped tower group building.

Angkor Wat, also known as Angkor Wat Temple, is the oldest and largest ancient temple in Cambodia and the best preserved temple. Angkor Wat is divided into "Big Angkor Wat" and "Little Angkor Wat", among which the architecture of Little Angkor Wat is magnificent. The present Angkor site covers an area of 365,438+00 square kilometers, including four temple buildings. The remaining walls and columns can still see the exquisite carving techniques of that year. The craftsmanship is really amazing. No wonder Angkor Wat has the reputation of "carved king city". It ranks alongside the Great Wall of Wan Li, the Egyptian pyramids and the Indonesian Borobudur as the four wonders of the East. It is said that more than150,000 migrant workers were recruited during the construction process. These temples are all made of huge sand and stones. The heaviest stones are more than 8 tons, and there is no adhesive between them.

There is a trench with a width of 190 meters around the temple, and the length around the trench is 5.6 kilometers. There are five minarets in the main hall. The top of the tower is 65 meters away from the ground of the courtyard, and the gallery wall at the bottom is covered with stone relief. These reliefs reflect people's life at that time, such as hunting, fishing, farewell and war. There are fairy tales that reproduce ancient legends, such as "The churning of the sea of milk" and "Immortals control demons"; There are statues of sitting Buddha and dancing gods, as well as human heads, birds and animals, insects and fish, all of which are lifelike. The stone outside the tower is carved with Buddha statues of various postures, some of which are as high as tens of meters, and the image is very vivid.

Angkor ancient city

/kloc-In the first half of the 5th century, the old capital of Angkor was deserted, and this temple was deserted. /kloc-After the middle of the 0/9th century, it was renovated and became a world-famous monument. The whole building is magnificent and exquisite, which fully embodies the amazing wisdom and high artistic talent of ancient Cambodian craftsmen.

The "Great Angkor Wat", also known as Angkor Wat, took 20 years to build. The special place is that the city wall is made of huge stones, and there is a moat outside to defend the country. Among the five doors, the south gate is the most complete. On both sides of the entrance to the gate, two rows of stone carvings are juxtaposed, with immortals on the left and demons on the right. Bayon temple is the most important building in Angkor Wat. This temple is located in the center of the city. There are 54 ancient pagodas on the steps, surrounded by 40-meter-high round towers. On the top four sides of each stone tower, there is also a huge face carved, which is very spectacular. In addition, the cloister next to it and the large relief on the inner and outer floors are exquisitely hand-made and of great appreciation value.

Brother Xiao Wu and Brother Da Wu are only ten minutes' drive away. Five sacred pagodas in the shape of lotus buds, like five giant millet, point to the sky. Among the five towers, the one in the middle is larger, and there are long corridors around each step, engraved with characters in Buddhist stories. After the steep stone steps, you go to the highest place, which was the place where emperors used to worship the gods.

history

Angkor ancient city

1860, henri mouhot, a French naturalist, discovered an imperial city made of huge stones in the tropical jungle of Cambodia. The city is large in scale and architecture.

It is magnificent and beautifully carved, and can be compared with any great building in the world. This is Angkor, the capital of Cambodia in the 9th-5th century. After excavation, cleaning and restoration, this rare pearl that has been submerged by the vast forest for more than 400 years has finally reappeared. Angkor Wat is located in the north of Tonle Sap Lake, 240 kilometers away from Phnom Penh. It mainly includes Angkor Wat and Angkor Temple in Wu Ge. * * * There are about 600 buildings, all made of huge stones, among which many spectacular Buddhist temples and pagodas are scattered in a forest of about 45 square kilometers.

Angkor Wat is a square city, all made of red stones. The layout of the whole city is reasonable and the architectural design is unique. There are all kinds of exquisite pagodas, temples and temples in the city. The center of Angkor Wat is Bayan Temple, which is the main building of the city and 45 meters high. Together with the surrounding 65,438+06 middle tower and dozens of small towers, it forms a perfect and neat stepped tower group building.

According to historical records, this 16 stupa symbolizes the 16 provinces of Khmer at that time. Among them, Ban Diez Lei, known as the "Pearl of Angkor Wat", is famous for its exquisite stone carvings. These statues are beautifully carved, with smooth lines and strong three-dimensional sense, which can be called wonderful roses of stone carving art.

Located 4 kilometers south of Angkor Wat, Angkor Wat Temple is the most important monument in Angkor Wat and a world-famous architectural miracle. Its main body is built on a three-story stone platform, and there are stone gates and stone cloisters on all sides of each floor. On the top floor, there is a steeple shaped like five lotus buds, with the highest center 65 meters above the ground. Pagoda symbolizes the center of the universe and the home of the gods in Hindu and Buddhist mythology, and is called "Mountain Temple". Cambodia regards it as a national symbol and draws it on the national flag.

Angkor wat, also known as Angkor wat, was built112 ~1201year ago, including more than ten ancient buildings and dozens of second-class relics, with a total area of more than 40,000 square meters. The most prominent mausoleum is the relief on the stone cloister wall around each platform under five towers. The relief on the lowest corridor is about 800 meters long. Most of the themes are taken from fairy tales in Indian epics, with superb skills, vivid descriptions and rich imagination. It is the most exquisite representative of Khmer (the ancient name relief of Cambodia).

Stone pagodas and Shimen buildings are also engraved with many beautiful patterns. The temple of Angkor Wat is composed of countless huge stones with exquisite reliefs. The stone is very big, and the heaviest one is 8 tons. There is no adhesive between the stones. Although it has experienced nearly a thousand years of wind and rain, it is still a miracle in the history of architecture.

One legend is that ...

It seems to be an invasion from foreign religions. After breaking the city, they killed all the men, from the emperor to the newborn children. Then all the women were taken away, leaving only this empty city, and the history and memory of this city were broken forever.

Why Angkor is so miserable? Because their own religion does not encourage war and violence, and pure goodness does not exist.

Your dream seems to be a narrative of their history. On the moonlit night of an ancient site (they were Yue Bai at that time and were finally destroyed by Zoroastrianism), a person squatted in the corner (they were all dead, of course, only lonely visitors later, but they could never penetrate the wall and never know what happened to it), looking at the dim light on the moss-covered wall (there was a massacre there, why are you angry?

condition

Located more than 300 kilometers northwest of the capital, Phnom Penh, Angkor is the capital site of the Angkor Dynasty in Cambodia. Angkor dynasty flourished in 1 1 century. It was a great empire that ruled Indochina Peninsula at that time, and it was also a peak in the history of Cambodian cultural development. However, in 143 1 year, the Thai army captured and looted Angkor, and the proud Khmer emperor abandoned the city and was forced to move to Phnom Penh. As a result, Angkor Wat in its heyday was submerged in the forest next to Tonle Sap Lake and became an empty city abandoned by the world.

It was not until 1860 that a French zoologist rediscovered Angkor Wat, which had been sleeping for nearly 500 years, that this huge architectural community lost in the tropical jungle of Cambodia was rediscovered. The existing Angkor Wat monuments mainly include Angkor Wat (the Great Angkor Wat) and Angkor Wat (the Little Angkor Wat), both of which are made of huge stones and exquisite relief art, which are the two major characteristics of Angkor Wat monuments. There are more than 600 buildings, large and small, in Angkor monuments, forming a magnificent monument group, which is distributed in the jungle of more than 40 square kilometers.

Peace has been restored in Cambodia, which suffered from war. Since 1998, Angkor's historical tourism has risen rapidly. Angkor has become a world-famous tourist and archaeological attraction, attracting a large number of tourists from all over the world. Today, I walked in Angkor tourist area, and there were tourists everywhere. The "empty city" is no longer empty, and the "waste capital" is no longer abolished.

The reappearance of Angkor's charm has brought prosperity to Siem Reap, where Angkor is located, and also to Cambodia's economic development. At present, there are four five-star hotels and seventeen or eight four-star hotels in Siem Reap. Most of them were built and opened in the past two years, but in the current booming Angkor tourism boom, demand is still in short supply and often full. There are more than a dozen high-end hotels in preparation for construction and are expected to be put into use next year. The number of tour companies in Siem Reap has also increased rapidly by several times.

In the farmland around Angkor Wat in the past, high-end hotels sprang up like mushrooms after rain, and restaurants, dance halls and tourist handicraft shops were built on the street. Tens of thousands of people in Siem Reap are engaged in tourism and selling ethnic handicrafts, and they are rapidly becoming rich. In the evening, we walked into a restaurant with a folk song and dance performance in the center of Siem Reap, but we saw hundreds of overseas tourists enjoying wonderful dances and delicious food. It can be predicted that as long as peace lasts and openness lasts forever, the ancient city of Angkor and even Cambodia as a whole will prosper day by day.
