Why is Anzhen Castle invulnerable and so defensive?

Today we are going to introduce a very interesting tourist attraction, the ancient buildings in Fujian? An Zhenbao

Anzhenbao is one of the well-preserved ancient rammed earth buildings in China. As a provincial cultural relics protection unit, Anzhenbao not only has the function of folk houses, but also has great significance in military defense. The whole design is based on the design of resisting foreign enemies, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, bandits rose in Fujian. In order to ensure the personal safety of people in hometown, Anzhen Fort came into being. The outer wall of the castle is made of a whole piece of rock, and the material is 4 meters thick. As far as the defensive strength of the wall is concerned, it is absolutely unbreakable. So that it is worth learning to look back on the previous architectural design now.

The gate of the old castle is equipped with double door panels, which are natural in thickness. At the same time, the riveted iron plate is embedded on the basis of the gate. Even more exaggerated, there is a water injection hole at the top of the door, as long as water is injected into the gate. Whether you chop with a knife and axe or shoot with an arrow, it is difficult to penetrate this gate. On the other hand, in the two corners in front of Anzhen Fort, a watchtower was built as a counterattack defense.

Around the outer wall of Anzhenbao Corridor, as many as 96 observation windows were built, and 198 shooting holes were dug nearby for setting utensils.

As for the construction of Anzhen Fort, it is also a very huge project, and there are many working procedures. In the whole process of building the castle, geographical prospectors, handymen, masons, masons, carpenters, sculptors, painters, blacksmiths and so on. They are all needed, involving dozens of craftsmen, and many technologies and crafts have long been lost.

The foundation built by An Zhenbao is originally a mud pond, and it is extremely difficult to build a mud pond. In order to build it successfully, a large number of pine trees were put on the swamp to fill the foundation. Then pile up stone layers on pine trees and build earth castles.

Whether it is ornamental value or historical value, An Zhenbao is of great significance. Are you interested? Please leave a message in the comments section.
