Tiantang south gate

Nantianmen is the largest mountain gate in China, with a height of 13.9 meters and a width of 23 meters. It combines three arches into one, and the project is huge and magnificent, which is extremely rare in the hilltop buildings in China.

Its walls are all decorated with white marble and painted in Hexi. Antique inside and outside, solemn and elegant. The golden glazed tile at the top of the door is even more splendid under the sunshine. 38 piers and arches support the golden dome, overlapping each other. Each pier arch is composed of 7 floors 14 blocks, and the outline changes in a variety of ways. Eight cornices are upturned, and each cornice consists of 33 cornices, which adorns the worse gate with quaint elegance and extraordinary momentum. Four red doorposts, each with a diameter of 1 m and a height of 9 m, strongly support the worse gate; The bronze golden lion, which is as high as three meters on both sides, is wide-eyed and majestic, guarding the worse gate. The ingenious combination of harmonious colors makes it look like an archway from a distance, but it is actually a gatehouse that loves to watch.

Legend has it that Han Xin, a general of the Han Dynasty, led 30,000 soldiers to crusade against Zhao. I wanted to send troops to defend the calf village, but after climbing to the top of the village, I couldn't find the village entrance. It is really impossible to enter the mountains and villages. Just when I was helpless, suddenly, a white light flashed in the sky. An old man with white hair appeared in front of all the soldiers. I saw the old man waving his sword. A Tianmen appeared in front of my eyes. It turned out that the Jade Emperor was moved by the teacher of justice and sent mountain gods to guide the soldiers. Entering the Nantianmen, the generals suddenly saw that the top of the village was like a flat ground, the temples and halls were strewn at random, the reflection of lotus flowers in Tianchi was sparkling, the mountains were lush, and the surrounding mountains danced like dragons. Climbing the mountain, soaring forward ...

According to the inscription on the mountain, the worse gate was built in the Ming Dynasty. This reconstruction, the project is huge, and the bucket arch at the top of a single door used more than 40 cubic meters of first-class red. Looking up from the worse place will make you feel relaxed and happy. Looking eastward, near the foot of Lotus Peak and Conch Peak, not far away is the endless North China Plain. The tall buildings in Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital, are clearly visible. On the steps of Nan-Shi-Tai Railway, the train pulled its whistle and transported Shanxi coal in all directions. On the 307 national highway, the traffic is busy, shuttling and carrying goods; Looking to the west, the peaks of Taihang Group are undulating continuously, and the towering chimneys of Shang 'an Power Plant can be seen in the mountains. Is spitting out white smoke; Looking north, the green water surface of Huangbizhuang Reservoir blends with the surrounding green hills. You can vaguely see the boat swimming in the water. At the top of this mountain, it is really "the first door in the world" to build such a magnificent gate.

cultural relics and historic sites

Bao Duzhai

Baoduzhai is also rich in cultural relics, most of which are concentrated in Jiaolong Cave, Tianmen Cave, Xianren Cave and Goldfinch Palace. It mainly includes five aspects: Buddhist statues, tourist inscriptions, poets' poems, stone inscriptions and couplets. Among them, Buddhist statues account for a large proportion, mostly in the Tang Dynasty, and occasionally in the Song and Jin Dynasties, concentrated inside and outside the Jiaolong Cave, with 200 niches, and a small number of remains in Tianmen Cave and Xianren Cave. What is commendable is that there is a Tang Dynasty line sculpture "Shafting Map" outside Jiaolong Cave, which is a very rare Buddhist cultural relic. Tourist inscriptions are mostly relics of the Northern Song Dynasty, with Tianmen Cave as the most, with 18, and some in Jiaolong Cave and Xianren Cave. Among them, the most archaeological value is the inscription left by officials at all levels in the Song Dynasty when they prayed for rain in Baodu Mountain. These inscriptions are not only beautifully carved, but also full of truth, grass, lines and prints, which can be described as colorful and have high artistic value of calligraphy; The poet's poems are all works of Ming and Qing Dynasties, except for a poem inscribed by Song Dynasty in Tianmen Cave. Among them, Li Tengfang, a famous minister in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Qifeng, a deer catcher who was a satrap in Hangzhou in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, are the most precious. The scripture-stored buildings are concentrated in the Golden Bird Palace and the Jiaolong Cave. Except for the poem tablet inscribed by Li Tengfang and a Buddhist temple building in the first year of Chunhua in the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 990), the rest are temple tablets built in the Qing Dynasty, totaling 15. The most literary works are Zhang Qifeng's Preface to the Jade Emperor Pavilion, the Preface to the Empress Dowager Hall and the Story of Jiaolong Cave in Dushan, which was written by Mason Lee, an official in Qing Dynasty. There are three pairs of stone couplets, all in the Longdong Cave of Yangshanjiao, and the second pair is inscribed by Guo Baiyun, a Taoist priest of Baodu Village in the Chongzhen period of Ming Dynasty, which are engraved on the stone coupons of Jiaolong Cave and Baiyun Cave respectively. Another wrote a book for Zhang Shizhi, commander-in-chief of Jingxing Garrison Road in the early Qing Dynasty, which was carved on both sides of a large Buddhist shrine. The pen is natural and smooth, and the book is beautifully carved. In addition to the above five cultural relics, Bao Duzhai still retains the iron kettle, arrow, flagpole eye, rice mortar and other physical objects from the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, which is enough to prove the history of Wu Xian's stationing troops and building a village here at the end of the Jin Dynasty. In addition, in the "Xianrenkang" cave above the cliff, there is still a line of words carved by Jin Bing on the stone wall when Wuxian built the village, which provides strong evidence for that history.

Among them, 500 arhats were all carved by craftsmen in Quyang with bluestone from Luquan. Each arhat is as big as a real person and weighs about one ton. The 500 arhats have a huge lineup, compact and reasonable layout and magnificent momentum; The drywall is 38m long, with a height of13m and a thickness of1.2m, all of which are composed of traditional glazed components. There are 999 large and small dragon sculptures here, so it is called the Qianlong wall.
