A detailed introduction of Nikko sightseeing tour in Japan.

Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, has a world heritage "Nikko Shrine and Temple", which is world-famous and attracts domestic and foreign tourists. Dear, I have compiled a detailed introduction to Japan's Nissin Dongzhao tourism for you. Welcome to reading.

I. Overview

Built in 16 17, the main object of sacrifice is Tokugawa Ieyasu, who unified Japan during the Warring States period, and his mausoleum is also here. It is also praised by the public as one of the most harmonious buildings combining Buddhism with Japanese shrines. Torii at the entrance of the shrine is very grand and huge, about 9 meters high. It is made of granite. It is said that it was shipped from Fukuoka in 16 18, and it is the largest rock in torii.

Two or five towers

The magnificent five towers carved in multiple colors, the pillars running through the whole tower adopt the principle of hanging hammer, which has the effect of earthquake prevention. It is said that this method was not used in the Edo period, and now it is also used in the construction of Tokyo Sky Tower.

Third, Yangming Gate (also known as Sunset Gate)

It is said that Yangming Gate represents the moon, so it is called Yangmen. Some people say that Yangming Gate is also called "Sunset Gate" because it is magnificent and beautiful, and it is not tiring to look at it from morning till night. Yangming Gate was renovated from 20 13, and it took about four years, which is the so-called "heisei renovation", and was finally completed in March this year.

Yangming Gate is painted and painted with more than 500 pieces of carvings, supported by large arch columns 12.

One of the twelve arches was turned upside down on purpose. It is said that Tuoshaogu's excessive splendor will lead to the jealousy of heaven, so he deliberately left a flaw, so he called this arch column "to ward off evil spirits." At the same time, it also confirms the various statements of impermanence in Buddhism.

Fourth, the charm of Japan.

Kirin and elephant

It is said that people at that time had never seen unicorns and elephants, but they just listened to others and drew them according to their own imagination. Now it seems that we don't know what Kirin looks like, but it is very similar.

Shenjiushe

The most famous is the three monkeys carved on the door wall. Each monkey represents a different meaning, and the locals think these monkeys are the patron saint of horse addiction, so there must be carved monkeys near the stable.

The most famous is the three apes. Their symbolic meaning comes from "see no evil, don't listen if you are indecent, don't speak if you are indecent" in The Analects. "It aims to educate children not to be adversely affected.

At first I thought there was only one sculpture. In fact, there are 12 sculptures here. After consulting some explanations, I realized that this is actually a metaphor for a person's life.

Shen Yushe

The holy land here belongs to three generals, with Tokugawa Ieyasu in the middle, Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the opposite right and Yuan Laichao on the left. The maximum weight is 25 tons, and it is as light as 1 ton. Every spring (May 18) and autumn (10 17), you can see the posture of Shenyu patrolling.

Dutch candle

The whole of Japan has a western thing. This is a Dutch candle. It is said that it was shipped to Japan from Amsterdam, the Netherlands via Nagasaki. This western-style candle is also eye-catching.

Gong Ao (Sleeping Cat)

The most famous cat in the Olympic Palace is the cat carved on the threshold. It was the work of the skillful craftsman Zuo Zhewulang at that time. The cat with slightly bulging shoulders is sleepy. When the peony was in full bloom, the cat was sleepy. Behind the sleeping cat, there is a free sparrow sculpture. Usually, wild cats eat sparrows. This sculpture depicts an atmosphere of peace and symbolizes peace.

Climb the 207th flight of stairs, and you can reach Tokugawa Ieyasu Mausoleum. Tokugawa Ieyasu's coffin is parked in the Royal Pagoda in the Olympic Palace. The pagoda made of Tang copper itself is 5 meters high, with an octagonal base and 9 floors! I suggest that friends who like history can go and have a look.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) technique

You can rent a voice guide in Dongzhao Valley. If you want to take time to watch it slowly, I strongly recommend renting one. Watch while walking!
