Overview of Pingyao Qingxu Museum;

There are ten buildings and three courtyards in Qingxuguan. There are memorial archways, mountain gates, Dragon and Tiger Hall, Sanqing Hall, Chunyang Palace and Jade Emperor Hall on the central axis. Guanyuan doorplate building, with double columns, solid eight-character fork columns, and a plaque with immortal traces in the thirty-sixth year of Qianlong. Longhu Hall and Sanqing Hall were both built in Yuan Dynasty and rebuilt in Ming Dynasty. The Dragon and Tiger Hall is five rooms wide and six rafters deep. It adopts a strange suspended beam-column structure. Your Highness's East-West Corridor is divided into two statues, the Qinglong and the White Tiger, which are 5 meters high and have strong bones and dazzling eyes, holding halberds and swords. They are works of the Ming Dynasty. There are images of dragons and white tigers on the wall, among which the abstract modeling of white tigers is quite strange, and this group of statues is a rare boutique in Yuan Dynasty sculpture. Sanqing Hall was rebuilt in the north of the Intermediate People's Court in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, with five rooms wide and eleven rafters deep. The hall is built with five ridges and six beasts leaning against the mountain, with a strange structure. The clay sculptures such as Sanqing in the hall have disappeared, and only the Mongolian monument built in the Yuan Dynasty stands on the west side of the hall. There are three ear halls on both sides of the main hall. On the base of the high platform in front of Sanqing Hall, there is a rolling shed roof, which is the sacrificial hall. There is a clay sculpture of Lv Dongbin upstairs in the pavilion, also known as Chunyang Palace. Chunyang Palace was rebuilt in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, which was late and well decorated. There are nearly 30 steles of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties in the view, which are treasures for studying Taoist historical sites and calligraphy art. There are two small steles in the East and West 11th Hall of the Intermediate People's Court and one in the left and right aisle of the Intermediate People's Court. Behind the Sanqing Hall is the backyard, with three cross-shaped arch kilns for statues of Zhenwu and Erwaiter. There are five jade emperor pavilions on the top of the kiln, surrounded by cloisters, which were built in the Ming Dynasty and destroyed by fire in the late Qing Dynasty. There are five caves in the east corridor and a front corridor in the west corridor of the backyard, which is where feathers are used to cook and welcome guests. Longhutang is the gate of Qingxuguan, which was built in the early Yuan Dynasty. The gate symbolizes the three realms in the eyes of Taoism, and stepping into the gate means jumping out of the three realms, being free from secular interference and being able to practice quietly.

Dragon and Tiger Hall at Shanmen, building in Yuan Dynasty. It is five rooms wide and four rafters deep, and it is huge. The columns are arranged neatly, the stigma is obviously divided and the inclination angle is obvious. The stigma has a rolling brake and the cylinder is huge, giving people a grand and heavy feeling. Eaves and arches are laid in four ways, and there is a mixed space between them. The structure is heavy and the shape is beautiful. There are four rafters of the beam frame, and corner beams are placed at the four corners of the beam frame on the second floor of the wellhead, and the back tail of the flat beam and the old corner beam is supported by "hanging beam and hanging column method". This local architectural technique has made many people stop to ponder. This practice not only saves materials, but also expands the indoor space. At the same time, it also reflects the flexibility and bold innovation in the architectural style of the Yuan Dynasty.

The roof is in the form of resting on the top of the mountain, also known as the top of the nine ridges. The "kissing beast" at the junction of the main ridge and the vertical ridge can not only play a connecting role, but also decorate the roof. More importantly, it expresses people's beautiful wishes-"lifting water to put out the fire". The technique of alternating glazed tiles and grey tiles on the roof looks beautiful and good, which shows that the use of glazed tiles can increase the color change and enhance the grand and solemn artistic effect of the building; The tiles and dripping sound at the eaves can't help but remind people of the aesthetic artistic conception of "people resting under the raindrop steps in the house" on rainy days; The eaves are far-reaching and affect indoor lighting, so they fly to the four corners of the roof, making the thick roof more vivid, powerful, elegant and light. The whole Dragon and Tiger Hall gives people a feeling of boldness, roughness and frankness, just like the Mongolian characters that swept across Asia and Europe in those years, which made the beauty of architecture and people's yearning form a perfect picture here, and achieved the "harmony between man and nature".

Under the eaves are two colored sculptures in Yuan Dynasty style; The patron saint of Taoism, East Qinglong and West White Tiger, not only protects monasteries, but also teaches people to convert to Taoism. Height 5 meters, round face, knife-shaped eyebrows glaring, big nose, weapons in hand, hands spread out. The large volume and stretching heating show their burly charm, and the spirit of swallowing mountains and rivers is in harmony with the colorful ribbons dancing all over the body, which further embodies the warrior's introverted and arrogant spirit and enhances the appeal and vitality of his works. It seems that what stands in front of us is no longer a cold clay figurine. Chunyang Palace "Chunyang" is Dong Bin's name, and "Gong" is a palace dedicated to immortals. Chunyang Palace, named after Lv Dongbin.

Chunyang Palace was built on a high platform at the end of Guanzhong Tunnel. There are three bays, six purlins rolled into a shed, hanging from the top of the mountain, with a mansion in front, five steps on the bucket arch, two archways and a storage room. The roof decoration is complex and colorful, and the overall style tends to be small and light, but it is somewhat flexible.

There is a shrine in Chunyang Palace. Shen Lu, covered in golden mud, sat in a shrine. Because of Lv Zu's lofty status, people have to look up to see it, which can reflect people's admiration for Lv Dongbin. According to the "County Records", there was the appearance of Qingxu Guan in the Qing Dynasty, leaving behind "

The pillars of the Jade Emperor Pavilion have the immortal trace of "one heart and two minds", so the magistrate of a county in the Qing Dynasty built this exquisite and elegant pure Yang Palace to worship Lv Zu. For thousands of years, incense has been heard here, especially on April 14, Lu Xian's birthday, which is like a cloud of pilgrims, greatly shortening the distance between the quiet Taoist temple and the noisy secular.

The antithetical couplets outside Chunyang Palace: "A unitary Taoist instrument is far beyond heaven and earth, and thirty fame is often accompanied by dreams", which puts the words pursued by Taoism in the first place. In the Qing Dynasty, stone lions and Taoist symbols stood outside the palace gate to ward off evil spirits.

The whole palace has become one of the main buildings in Qingxu Guan, and it is also one of the witnesses of the Taoist cultural system, and it is also an example of studying Taoist culture. Sanqing Hall is behind Chunyang Palace, with 5 rooms wide and 9 rafters deep. Rest at the top of the mountain with one eaves, and take five steps with four eaves, leaving a supplementary room. The eaves are the same inside and outside. Plastic dragons and phoenixes hang on the arch wall and fly like birds. The glass at the top of the temple is square and edged. There is an inscription "Reconstruction in the 28th year of Ming Wanli (1600)" between the beams in the hall. There are the original images of "Sanqing Real Man" and "Twenty-eight Nights" on the altar.

There are three ear halls on both sides of Sanqing Hall, which were originally used for "three fairs", "four saints", "five mountains" and "four blasphemies". The east-west corridor has a 1 1 hall, which is built on a hard mountain top. They were originally used in Notre Dame of Nine Days, Nine Yao Xing Jun and Seventy-four Division. 18 (1929), the statues of the ear hall and the corridor hall were destroyed.

In the Sanqing Hall, there is a penetrating stone tablet, formerly known as Han Meng Tablet, which is a work of the Yuan Dynasty. It is 205 cm high, 90 cm wide and 23 cm thick. It has a history of more than 700 years. The front and back of the monument are engraved with words, which record the great achievements of Genghis Khan. The previous words were recorded in the Basiba language used in early Mongolia. On the back is the Chinese italics translation recorded on the front of this monument, so it is called Han Meng Monument. This monument is made of agate stone. Its surface is smooth and bright, and its touch is cool. Many good men and women who are sightseeing are used to touching it and feel a strange fairy spirit. This is undoubtedly a good spiritual comfort, so it is commonly known as the "Touling" monument. According to experts' research, only a handful of such monuments have been preserved, which is not only a good spiritual pillar for believers, but also an extremely precious material for studying Mongolian history and culture.
