Going to Shanxi to see historical sites in 2020 will give you different surprises (6)

654381October 6, the ancient search continued.

The first stop, Taitou Temple, is next to the hotel. Now it has become a free and open fitness place for citizens. Many people exercise here in the morning, and there is a fitness square between the main halls. Both the front hall and the middle hall of Taitou Temple were left over from the Yuan Dynasty. There are not many bright spots except the main hall.

The second stop, Nanyang Fawang Temple, came here for the second time. Last time I came, it was being repaired. After this construction, there are still many new discoveries. The stage is the essence of the hospital. The stage is relatively large and beautifully made. There are also large murals behind the stage, including tigers and figures, including two comic characters, which feel like two immortals.

The main hall is shorter. The main hall of Joinery Work Temple is still beautiful, and there are small murals.

The third stop, Seiryuji, Seiryuji, is the most famous mural. There are two halls. The mural in the front hall is the most famous, and it is a land and water painting in the Yuan Dynasty. The murals in the back hall are relatively large. It is not easy to preserve the murals of Qingliu Temple. It is rare to see such a good painting. (The mural photos are from the Internet). There are many stone carvings on the east side of the courtyard, which should be nearby and protected and displayed here. Seiryuji is very famous in the circle of historic sites and is very worthy of recommendation. Tickets are now open to the public.

The fourth stop, Yubicheng Site, is an ancient battlefield for the Eastern Wei and Western Wei Dynasties in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Yubi City is easy to defend but difficult to attack because of its high terrain. Many people died in this war, and finally these bodies were buried here. Then it rained and washed away many bones. Now it is high loess. There is no need to go if it is not for insurance.

The fifth stop, Guandi Temple in Zhang Quan, Xinjiang, is located in the middle of the village. In front of it is a square where villagers bask in old corn. There is only one main hall left in the temple, and the statue in the temple is a new work. When I go, I catch up with a family to burn incense for Master Guan, so I will go in and have a look. Usually, the door is closed. Actually, there's nothing to see in it. The bright spot is really outside the temple, that is, the stone pillars in the main hall and the Panlong stone pillars. Once again, I saw the dragon's paw holding its head. It's bloody. I don't know what it means. Pay attention. Personal analysis, that is, the immortal is above all beings, you should listen to the immortal, or you will escape to the ends of the earth, and everything is under the control of the immortal.

There is nowhere to go on the trip to Baitai Temple at the sixth stop. At that time, the temple was being repaired. Baitai Temple was above the high platform and surrounded by a large circle of walls. The door was locked from the inside and surrounded the wall. No one came out after shouting for a long time. Just when I wanted to give up, three of them came out, an elderly master and two other young people, a man and a woman. We explained our purpose and said that the older teachers and lesbians were relieved, but it was this young man who could live or die. We found a leader and didn't give us the contact information of the leader. We were helpless. The young man exerted his strength to the extreme. I came all the way here and returned disappointed. Later, I had dinner in the town. At the same restaurant, I saw the three of them eating there. They are all working people at the bottom. Why bother each other? Convenient for others, convenient for yourself.

The seventh stop, Fengjiazhuang Cemetery, is a cornfield, not for national security. If you don't go, you won't go.

The eighth stop is the antique preserved in Fu Sheng Temple in Xinjiang, focusing on the Yuan Dynasty colored sculptures of Maitreya Hall. It's a pity that the old woman who guarded the door refused to open the door, so she had to rush to open the door and see the elegance of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

As a folk monument lover, it is too difficult to go out and look for the ancients. If it is an official identity, these are not things, and we ordinary people have to pay too much.

Shanxi wants to develop tourism economy in recent years. Shanxi is more than just a few quadrangles, allowing more people to enter Shanxi, go deep into Shanxi, develop global tourism and promote economic growth. These scattered monuments should be more open and inclusive under the premise of protection, showing the long history and culture of Shanxi. Don't let these priceless treasures hidden in the people be locked in the yard all the year round, locked in the reports of scientific researchers, and let the cultural relics come alive.

At the eighth stop, there is only one hall left in Shousheng Temple Hall, which is newly restored. I took photos and hurried to the next stop.

The ninth stop, the Jade Emperor Temple at Qiaogoutou, has a large area and the temple is a bit broken. In the ruined temple, I saw the black and white story murals of the Qing Dynasty. Although the level is limited, some character stories and some murals are still good. (The mural is from the Internet).

The mural below is very interesting, holding Longkou in one hand and sitting on the tiger's ass in the other. I wonder what the story is.

The tenth stop is the county seat of Fencheng ancient city. Later, the county moved away, leaving many historical sites and no large-scale demolition and construction. Now all the tourist attractions are open, but the ancient city of Fencheng is not open.

Fencheng ancient city has a good foundation for open tourism. With a little repair and arrangement, it can become an ancient city scenic spot. Friends who like the ancient city, go before it opens. Fencheng ancient city is difficult to park, there is no parking lot, it is surrounded by commercial areas, and all kinds of ancient buildings are dotted around.

A beautiful temple, carved with beams and painted columns everywhere, is unfortunately hidden in the courtyard.

City God Temple is surrounded by old buildings that are basically well-preserved without excessive repair, and ancient buildings that preserve their original appearance. Unfortunately, the door is locked and it is not allowed to enter.

Drum tower in the city center.

There is a covered bridge with a bridge below and a corridor above, which is rare in this north.

There is also an ancient tower in this city.

Around the center of the Drum Tower, there are historical buildings in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which are well preserved.

It can be said that Pink City is really worth recommending to everyone. I hope that the leaders of Xiangfen can protect and develop the ancient city of Fencheng with great wisdom, so that the ancient city of Fencheng can be presented to the world with a brand-new attitude.

The eleventh stop is the location of Dacheng Hall of Xiangling Confucian Temple. With the changes of history, Xiangling and Fencheng counties merged into one county, and the county seat was built in a new place. Now Xiangling has only this Dacheng Hall left, and only it has witnessed the changes here for hundreds of years. Now Dacheng Hall is in an abandoned grain depot in a village, and Dacheng Hall in Yuan Dynasty is in ruins, which is somewhat helpless.

Hurriedly ended the trip and rushed to Huozhou for accommodation.

See Shanxi in 2020, and the excitement will continue.
