Are there any historical stories about the Sun, Moon and Twin Towers in Guilin? The Sun and Moon Twin Towers in Guilin look very old. They are new buildings with a short history. The main story lies in two pharmacists, Sun Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva, who assisted the left and right Bodhisattvas.

Sun Moon Twin Towers Cultural Park is the most famous tourist attraction in the water system around the city of the two rivers and four lakes. It is located on the central axis of Guilin city and is a new cultural landmark in Guilin. The Sunmoon Twin Towers were designed and built by Zhu Bingren, the "King of Bronze Sculpture in China". It was completed in May, 200 1 year and in June, 2002.

Rita is a nine-story octagonal tower with a height of 4 1 m. It is made of pure brass and consumes 350 tons of copper.

How old is the Lijiang River? Accurately speaking, the Lijiang River has belonged to the Pearl River system for hundreds of years, and its birthplace is Maoershan in Xing 'an, north of Guilin, 88 kilometers away from here.

Maoershan is the main peak of Yuechengling, one of the five mountains in history, with an altitude of 2238 meters, which is known as the highest peak in central and southern China. Lijiang River is formed by a trickle at the foot of Maoer Mountain. Xing 'an still retains the "Lingqu" built during the Qin Shihuang period. It is the first man-made canal in China, historically known as "Xing 'an Lingqu", connecting the water of Lijiang River and Xiangjiang River.

Xiangjiang River is located in Hunan Province and belongs to the Yangtze River system. Nature endows geography with general laws of mountains and rivers, and at the same time endows it with specific ways.

As we all know, "there is no water that doesn't flow eastward" is caused by the high terrain in the west and the low terrain in the east of the earth, but only the water in Xiangjiang River is from south to north, and the water in Lijiang River is from north to south. The so-called "separation between Hunan and Lijiang" and "separation from each other" probably means this. In addition, the word "Li" of Lijiang River is clear and transparent in the dictionary, which is probably the best meaning of the name of Lijiang River.

Lijiang River once played an important role in the history of China. After the excavation of Lingqu, the connection between Lingnan and the Central Plains was communicated, which had a far-reaching impact on the great cause of unifying China in the Qin Dynasty and the politics, economy, culture and military of Guilin and even the southwest region. The Lijiang River originates in Xing 'an, flows through Guilin, Yangshuo, Pingtung and Wuzhou, and joins the Xijiang River, with a total length of 437 kilometers.

The Lijiang River, as we usually say, refers to the section from Guilin to Yangshuo County, with a total length of 83 kilometers. This section of strange peaks and strange waters is called baili Lijiang River and Baili Gallery. Han Yu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, once praised: "The river is a green ribbon and the mountain is like a jade hairpin", and there is a saying that "a thousand peaks surround the wild and a stream embraces the city".

The name of Lijiang River was called Lijiang River at least when Qin Shihuang was there, more than 2,200 years ago. As for the length of this river, it should have existed before Shennong.

According to Chen Lian's Records of Guilin County in the Early Ming Dynasty, Liu Che Ding Yuan established Shi 'an County in Guilin in the sixth year (11BC). There are eight gates in Anxian County, Han Shi (now Guilin): (1) Weiyuanmen, north of Gan Tang Bridge. (2) Qingmen, west of the former General's Office, at the intersection of Sanduo Road and Yiwu Road. (3) Chaojingmen, in the north of the old north gate, in the street near the southeast of Diecai Cinema today. (4) Longtangmen, in front of Bailong Cave, near the gate of Nanxi Park today. (5) Yangtingmen is near Guyishan (Xiangbishan was once called Yishan) about 100 meters south of Xiangshan South Road. (6) Tongbowen, in the south of Luoshan, in the power supply bureau near the foothills today. (7) Fubomen, east of Baguitang, near the northern end of binjiang road today. (8) Ximamen, east of the old waterwheel lane, at the intersection of Diecai Road and Longzhu Road. Its ancient Seoul, 30 miles a week, is 1.2 feet high.

From the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, due to the lack of information, the urban construction of each generation could not be confirmed one by one.

Guilin built several cities in the Tang Dynasty. The gates are as follows:

First, the initial construction of Zicheng. Tang Moxiufu's Record of Guilin ~ Wei Guogong Li Jing: written in the fifth year of Wude (AD 622), named Shi 'an County. Chen Minglian's "Guilin County Records": "Zicheng is in the west of Lijiang River, with a height of one foot and two. Guizhou Zicheng, from Gong Weiguo (the title of Li Jingzhi). " There are three doors: (1) Zhengnan Gate, commonly known as Mawangmen. During the Song Chongning period, Wang Zudao was reopened and renamed the Sage Gate, which is now in the playground of Zhongshan Middle School. (2) Dongyimen, called Dongjiang, commonly known as Xiadongmen, is located at the junction of the northern end of Lijiang Road and the west approach bridge of Jiefang Bridge. (3) Xiyimen, formerly known as Guajing Jiangjun rank, commonly known as Xishan Gate, is located in Jiefang East Road street outside the Municipal Education Bureau. Because most government offices are concentrated in Zicheng, they are administrative districts or Yacheng.

Second, build an outer city. Book of Old Tang Dynasty ~ Biography of Wang Yun: "At the end of Jing Long (AD 7 10), he was the governor of Guizhou. The grain of the old garrison in Guizhou, Changyunheng, Yong and other States was supported and rebuilt, and the garrison and transshipment stopped. "According to Li Bo's Preface to Nanxi Poetry and his younger brother Li She's Preface to Nanxi Xuanyan (both materials were carved in Xuanyan Mountain in the second year of the Tang Dynasty (AD 826) and still exist now), it can be seen that the Luo State rebuilt by Wang Yun, that is, the southern part of Seoul has shrunk three miles to the north, while the northern wall has not changed. Later, it was not until the Middle Ages (AD 847-860) that Cai attacked the city and restored the original appearance outside the ancient city. According to Lingui County Records, Weiyuan Gate in Seoul was renamed Waiweimen, and the other seven gates remained unchanged.

Third, build a sandwich city again. According to the Records of Guilin Local Customs, "Jiacheng is 200 steps north from the northwest corner of Zicheng (in fact, it should be 200 steps north from the northwest corner of Zicheng to Baoji Mountain and Diecai Mountain), reaching Fu Bo, which borders the south of the Yangtze River, and reaching Xiaoyao Building in Zicheng, with a round trip of six or seven miles. In the middle of the light, Chen Taibao can be built, and the former dynasty. " Jiacheng has opened two new doors: one is Nanluomen, which is located in Zhongshan Middle Road Street, near Guilin Branch of China Life Insurance Company. The second place is Beiluomen, on Zhongshan Middle Road Street, near the former Maternal and Child Health Hospital. With the construction of Jiacheng, Guilin became one of the commercial centers in the Tang Dynasty.

It took unprecedented manpower, material resources and financial resources to build Guilin City in Song Dynasty.

There are six gates in the Northern Song Dynasty: (1) Ningyuan Gate, also known as the South Gate, is on the street between Guilin Daily and Coral Hotel. (2) Pingzhimen, located between Jiefang West Road, Tang Xiaoxiao and Peizhi Primary School. (3) Li Zhengmen, Lequn Road, the north exit of Lequn Road Market. (4) Xingchunmen, near the intersection of the eastern end of Donghua Road and binjiang road. (5) Atomic City East of Jiangmen. (6) Shunqingmen, located in Zhongshan Middle Road in the south of Tang Xiaoxiao.

Walking into Guilin is like walking into the depths of history. Guilin has a long history and splendid culture, and ancient architecture is a unique architectural art created by the people of Guilin after thousands of years of civilization inheritance and accumulation, integrating excellent cultures at home and abroad, and combining their own cultural habits. The emergence and development of Guilin's ancient buildings show a complete picture of extraordinary social, cultural and economic development for future generations. In order to interpret the history of ancient buildings in Guilin and understand their special value, Comrade Zhou Kaibao is specially invited to write an article and comment. Comrade Zhou Kaibao has traveled all over the counties and townships in Guilin for more than ten years, and has made great achievements in ancient architecture and devoted himself to research.

Since the Song Dynasty, Guilin has become the political and cultural center of Guangxi, and is known as the "Huizhou House in the Southwest". Since ancient times, businessmen, literati, bureaucrats and celebrities have gathered in Guilin and become a world famous historical and cultural city. Where human beings live, there will be buildings, including bridges, dams, residential villas, municipal governments, memorial archways of tombs, temples and pagodas. These are priceless treasures left by the ancients. Tracing back to the ancient buildings in Guilin, as far as building materials are concerned, the earliest tomb brick we can see at present is Han Yonghe's ninth year (AD 144), which has a history of 1860 years. By the Sui and Tang Dynasties, a large number of Wadang Ridge Beasts had been unearthed in Xiqinglin Temple.
