Feel the culture and power of Datang! You must go to this city, she won't let you go in vain

Some netizens said: "Xi'an has many scenic spots."

This is indeed the case. I replied in the affirmative and said that this is a city suitable for tourism. Xi'an not only has many scenic spots, but also has certain historical and cultural origins. Of course, most of the landscape and culture originated from the Tang Dynasty, and there are relatively few from other dynasties.

If you want to feel the cultural atmosphere and power of the Tang Dynasty, you must go to Xi'an, because only this city can give you a real feel for the Tang Dynasty.

1. Xiao Fan took photos in Xinlehui

Xiao Fan and I were chatting while walking and looking around. When there was a good view, we would stop and take two photos. At that time, I I specially brought a digital camera with me. In this way, the two of them arrived at Xinlehui very quickly. Xiao Fan left a photo in front of Xinlehui, which I took for him.

Xiao Fan and I originally wanted to see the fountain show. It is said that this is a feature of Xi'an, because there are not many such musical fountains in other places. However, the performance time was delayed again and again. From 7:30 pm, which the locals told us, until 9 pm, there was no movement in the fountain.

2. Xiao Fan took photos on the streets of Datang Everlasting City

The central part of the square is a waterscape fountain square covering an area of ??20,000 square meters. After sunset every day, there are always thousands of people Tourists and locals come here to enjoy the cool air and watch the fountain show.

There is indeed an atmosphere on the streets of the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty. This atmosphere has both the novelty of a modern city and the flavor of ancient China, especially the culture of the Tang Dynasty, which is strongly reflected here. You must know that this kind of atmosphere cannot be felt in other cities.

For example, Shenzhen is a relatively new city. You can feel the atmosphere of a modern city, but it just doesn’t have that kind of cultural heritage. It is impossible for Shenzhen to achieve the cultural atmosphere of Xi'an. This cannot be learned and requires decades, hundreds or even thousands of years of accumulation.

3. Xiao Fan took a photo in front of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda

After hearing from the people next to us that we had to wait for the musical fountain, we lost our patience and decided not to wait any longer, so we followed the The trail to the east of the temple goes south to the South Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a very famous temple and pagoda in the Tang Dynasty. According to historical records, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built in the Da Ci'en Temple in Jinchangfang, Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty (south of today's Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). It is also known as the "Ci'en Temple Pagoda" and still exists today. The tower is 64 meters high. The tower body, brackets, and railings are all made of blue brick imitation wood structure.

It is also very beautiful here. Xiao Fan took a photo in front of the tower.

It is said that it was also a five-story brick pagoda built by Master Xuanzang to enshrine the Buddha statues, relics and Sanskrit classics brought back from India. According to the "Biography of Master Tripitaka of Daci'en Temple", in the ancient Indian country of Magadha, monks once buried fallen wild geese and built a spiritual pagoda. The name of the wild goose pagoda may have originated from this.

4. I took a photo in front of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a solemn place.

However, the people in the square were obviously not disturbed by this ancient solemnity. There were hundreds of people dancing group dances to the music in the square.

They are not the kind of ballroom dances where each one does his own thing. They really stand in a square formation horizontally and vertically, dancing to the music. They are men and women, regardless of age. There are white-haired old people and young ones. Everyone was dancing happily, and people kept coming over on foot or on bicycles to join in the fun.

5. I took a photo in Xinlehui

At that time, Xinlehui was an iconic shopping mall.

I remember that Xiao Fan also took a photo in front of Xinlehui, so I also took a photo. I don’t know if this mall is still operating normally. The society has developed too fast in the past few years. , many prosperous shopping malls were closed immediately, and they were greatly affected by the impact of e-commerce.

The large open-air dance hall opposite seems to have become a popular place now. There are many people dancing here, creating a lively atmosphere. The North and South Squares of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda have also become a popular place for citizens to enjoy summer activities and rest after work. It is also a new experience for us tourists.

6. Sculpture of Tang Monk (Master Xuanzang)

Xiao Fan and I walked here and saw a statue. This must be the famous Tang Monk in "Journey to the West". All the monsters on the road want to eat him because he can live forever.

According to records, Tang Seng, whose surname is Chen, whose Buddhist name is "Xuan Zang", is respectfully called "Master Tripitaka", secularly known as "Tang Seng", and nicknamed "Jiang Liu'er". One of the protagonists in "Journey to the West" is based on the eminent monk Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty.

In his previous life, Monk Tang was Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha. He was demoted to the lower realm by Tathagata Buddha because of his contempt for the Dharma. Under the guidance of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, he followed the instructions of Tai Ti of Tang Dynasty and traveled thousands of miles to the West to pray. On the way to obtain the true scriptures, he received three disciples: Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing. After going through eighty-one difficulties, he finally obtained the true scriptures and returned to the Tang Dynasty. He achieved enlightenment and was named "Zhan Tan Merit Buddha" by Tathagata Buddha.

7. The LOGO of the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty

The LOGO of the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty is well designed and full of Tang culture. Two ancient women float in the air and combine to form a The symbol of the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty.

It is true to say that this is a city that never sleeps. When we passed by during the day, the streets were deserted and there were almost no people. But at night, cars alone occupied the roads on both sides, leaving only A narrow road with one lane naturally caused traffic jams, but there was nothing we could do about it.

There were people everywhere on the sidewalk and it was very lively.

Datang Evernight City is based on the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and uses Tang style elements as the main line. It has four major squares: Dayan Pagoda North Square, Xuanzang Square, Zhenguan Square, Chuangling New Times Square, and Xi'an Concert Hall. , Shaanxi Grand Theater, Xi'an Art Museum, Qujiang Pacific Movie City and other four major cultural venues, and five major cultural sculptures including the Buddhist Culture of the Tang Dynasty, the Heroes of the Tang Dynasty, the Reign of Zhenguan, the Concubine of Empress Wu, and the Golden Age of Kaiyuan, are the exhibitions of Tang culture in Xi'an The best place to experience.

8. Xi’an Old Noodle House

The Tang Dynasty Never Sleeps is actually a commercial project.

In the middle of a wide street, an open road landscape park similar to the Ming City Wall Ruins Park in Beijing was built. There are various shops, restaurants and movie theaters on both sides of the street. Of course, it is also made in Tang style, cultural and Business is well integrated here.

Xi’an old noodle shops like this are very common here.

Everywhere.

9. Perhaps it is the statue of Xuanzang

In the South Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the statue of Xuanzang and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda are one behind the other, making it even more solemn under the light. We couldn't get close enough to take a closer look, so I guess it is, but there's a good chance it's not, because people who wear such hats are usually literati, so it doesn't matter who they are!

10. Tang Culture Pool Landscape

A little girl is playing in the water. I don’t know if you have noticed that there were many beauties in Tang culture. Look, there is a Tang Dynasty beauty dancing in this pool landscape.

We walked in the park in the middle of the road, looked at the sculptures with different themes, and thought about the scenes of the prosperous times. We really felt like we were back in the Tang Dynasty. This may be the effect that the planners and builders of the Sleepless City wanted.

If you want to go, go and feel the charm of Datang.
