Why is the mansion in Yang Jiajiang called Tian Bo Tower? Does it really exist in history?

In Yang Jiajiang's story, a building named Tian Bo Tower appeared. According to legend, people in Yang Jiajiang live in this building. Looking through the actual historical materials, I found no records. So does the Tian Bo Building where Yang Jiajiang lived really exist? After consulting, there is no record of residence in the historical materials of the Song Dynasty. Whether the Emperor of the Song Dynasty gave the Yang family a house remains to be verified.

First, the origin of Tian Bo Mansion The word Tian Bo was slightly mentioned in the works of Yuan Zhen, a scholar in the Song Dynasty. Its geographical location is in the west of Kaifeng in Song Dynasty, and it is one of the core arteries in Song Dynasty, with the best geographical location. The name of Yang Jiajiang's residence originated from a novel "Miscellaneous Talks" during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. This book describes an ancient story of Kaifeng, which mentions the former residence and Yang's temple, saying that Kaifeng was flooded during the Ming Dynasty. The Yangjia Temple, also known as Xiaoyan Temple, moved south during the Song Taizong period and was destroyed by the war.

Second, whether Tianbofu exists. China Song Dynasty experts put forward their own different views on this issue. The so-called family temple system did not appear in the Song Dynasty. The family temple system flourished in the Tang Dynasty and disappeared in the Five Dynasties. This system was not restored in the Song Dynasty. Until the first year of the Song Dynasty, Prime Minister Wen Yanbo built the first family temple in the Song Dynasty with reference to the Adu family temple in Beijing. As for Yang Jiajiang's Tian Bo House, it did not exist in history, especially in the early Song Dynasty, when the temple fair system had not been restored, so the temple fair did not exist.

Today, Tian Bo Tower in Kaifeng is a group of imitation Song buildings beautified according to the story of Yang Jiajiang. With the spread of Yang Jiajiang story, the tourist market needs this scenic spot, so Tian Bo Tower came into being under this background to satisfy people's imagination of Yang Jiajiang story. However, according to historical records, Tian Bo House did not exist in the Song Dynasty.
