Ancient City of Pingyao

Pingyao ancient city, located in Shanxi, is a famous cultural city with a history of more than 2,700 years. It is one of the four best-preserved ancient cities in China, and the only ancient county in China that successfully declared the world cultural heritage with the whole ancient city. Pingyao was once called "ancient pottery". In the early Ming Dynasty, the city wall was built to resist foreign interference from the south. In the third year of Hongwu (AD 1370), the old wall was rebuilt and expanded, and it was all brick. Since then, Jingdezhen, Zhengde, Jiajing, Qin Long and Wanli have been renovated for ten times, and the towers have been updated and enemy stations have been added. In the 43rd year of Kangxi (A.D. 1703), four towers were built because the emperor traveled westward through Pingyao, making the city more spectacular. The total circumference of Pingyao city wall is 6 163 meters, and the height of the wall is about 12 meters, which divides Pingyao county with an area of about 2.25 square kilometers into two different worlds. The streets, sidewalks and urban buildings within the city walls retain the shapes of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Outside the city wall, it is called the new city. This is a wonderful place where ancient and modern buildings are integrated, reflecting each other and making people memorable.

Pingyao Ancient City was built during the Zhou Xuanwang period from 827 BC to 782 BC, and was the residence of Yin Jifu, the general of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Pingyao City has been the seat of county administration since the Qin government implemented the "county system" in 22 1 BC and continues to this day. Pingyao ancient city experienced vicissitudes and became the most complete prototype of ancient county town in China in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The ancient city we are seeing now is what it looked like after the expansion in the third year of Ming Hongwu (1370). Pingyao city after the expansion is magnificent, with a circumference of 6.4 kilometers. It is the oldest and largest county wall in Shanxi and China.

A bird's eye view of Pingyao ancient city is even more amazing. This flat square wall, shaped like a turtle, has six doors, one in the north, one in the south and two in the east and west. The south gate of the city is 0, and two wells outside the gate symbolize the turtle's eyes. The north gate is the turtle tail, which is the lowest place in the city, and the accumulated water in the city will flow out through it. There are four crocks in the city, facing each other. The doors of the upper west gate, the lower west gate and the upper east gate all face south and look like turtle claws, but the outer door of the lower east gate of the crock directly faces east. It is said that the tortoise was afraid of crawling away when building the city, so he stretched his left leg and tied it to the foothills twenty miles away from the city. This seemingly illusory legend shows the ancient people's great worship of turtles. Turtles are immortal, and in the eyes of the ancients, they are naturally sacred as gods. It embodies the deep meaning of hoping to make Pingyao ancient city rock solid, golden soup forever solid, safe and sound, and last forever. There are also 72 enemy watchtowers on the wall, and there are 3000 cribs on the outside of the wall. It is said to be a symbol of Confucius' 3,000 disciples and 72 sages.

Up to now, the walls, streets, houses, shops, temples and other buildings in the ancient city are still basically intact, and the original shape and pattern remain basically unchanged. They are all organic parts of the existing historical sites of Pingyao ancient city.

This solid and complete masonry city has played a great role in military defense, flood control and avoidance for hundreds of years. The streets, ancient yamen, towers, shops and houses in the city still retain the original appearance of the Ming Dynasty. It is a national key cultural relics protection unit.

Pingyao Ancient City is known as "the collection and treasure house of ancient buildings in China", and the preservation of cultural relics and historic sites with high grade is rare in China. Among them, it was built in the Western Zhou Dynasty and expanded in the third year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1370). It is the most complete preserved city wall in China. There is the most precious wooden structure in existence, which was built in the seventh year of Tianhui in the Northern Han Dynasty (963) and ranked third in the country. The five dynasties painted sculptures in the temple are treasures and samples for studying the early painted sculptures in China. There is Shuanglin Temple, which was built in the second year of Wuping, Northern Qi Dynasty (57 1) and is known as the "treasure house of ancient colored sculptures in China". There are 2,052 pieces of colored sculptures in Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. There is a rare Confucian temple in China during the Song and Jin Dynasties-Dacheng Hall of Confucian Temple; China, the originator of finance, is known as "No.1 in the world" and "Huitong in the world". There is Qingxu Guan, a peculiar structure of "hanging beams and columns", which was built in the second year of Tang Xianqing, and it is rare in ancient buildings in China. More than 20 woodcarving statues in the museum are rare objects to study the ancient woodcarving art in China and the development of Taoism. There are 1000 stone carvings of different ages, shapes and colors and various glazed objects in the ancient city. At the same time, Pingyao ancient city is one of the gathering centers of ancient residential buildings in China. Among the 4,000 existing ancient and modern residential buildings in the ancient city, more than 400 typically reflect the styles and characteristics of ancient and modern northern residential buildings in China.

Lingshi Wang Jia compound

The Wang Family Courtyard is located in Jingsheng Town, east of Lingshi County 12km (it was named as the first batch of famous historical and cultural towns in China in 2003). It is 35 kilometers away from Pingyao ancient city, 4 kilometers away from Mianshan in Jiexiu, and 2 kilometers away from Zishou Temple, where the 18th Luohan returned overseas Chinese. It is a boutique tourist route launched by Shanxi Province in recent years with the advantages of "famous city, famous mountain, famous courtyard and famous temple". Tongpu Railway and 108 National Road run through the county, and the Lingshi exit of Dayun expressway is 2 kilometers away from Wang Jia Courtyard, so the traffic is very convenient.

The Wang Family Courtyard is a master of residential buildings in Qing Dynasty. Wang Jingsheng family, one of the four families in Lingshi County in history, was founded in the years of Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty. The building is huge, with "five lanes", "five castles" and "five ancestral halls". Among them, the courtyard layout of five ancient castles is described as "dragon", "phoenix", "turtle", "scale" and "tiger", with a total area of over 250,000 square meters. At present, there are three major buildings, namely Hongmenbao (Dragon), Gaojiaya (Phoenix), Chongningbao (Tiger) and Wangcitang, which are opened by China Folk House Art Museum, China King Museum and Liqun Art Museum respectively. There are 23/kloc-0 courtyards and 2,078 houses, covering an area of 80,000 square meters.

Gaojiaya, Hong Men Fort and Chongningbao are connected shoulder to shoulder, all of which are totally enclosed castle buildings on the loess high slope. Appearance, follow the trend, form and god stand together; Among them, the cave houses are tiled and skillfully connected together. Broad and profound, spectacular, natural work and good use. In the seemingly monotonous and ever-changing, while maintaining the traditional folk houses in the north, it also shows its outstanding personality. The general characteristics are: standing by the mountain, changing with the shape, overlapping buildings, patchwork, magnificent momentum and complete functions. It basically inherits the courtyard style of the front hall and the back bedroom formed in the Western Zhou Dynasty in China, with unique brick carvings, wood carvings and stone carvings, which are elegant in decoration, rich in connotation, practical and beautiful, and high in cultural taste.

The two main courtyards of Gaojiaya complex are the third-order quadrangles. In addition to the ancestral hall and hatchback embroidered building, each courtyard also has its own kitchen courtyard, school courtyard, academy, flower courtyard, changgong courtyard and courtyard (Dingding courtyard). The surrounding walls and courtyards are tightly surrounded, and the four courtyards are adapted to local conditions. Large and small courtyards are harmonious and independent. They are hidden or present, and all kinds of portals give people a labyrinthine feeling. There are courtyards in the courtyard and doors in the door. At present, in the halls and bedrooms of Gaojiaya, according to the feudal etiquette pattern of "hierarchy, hierarchy, order from top to bottom, harmony between young and old, and differences between inside and outside", a large number of household items handed down from the family are displayed in different categories, which basically restored the historical features of the Wangs in those days.

The overall layout of the Hongmenbao building complex contains the word "Wang" and is accompanied by the shape of a dragon. In addition to the courtyard with front hall and back bedroom, in order to conform to the terrain, part of it should be transformed into front garden and backyard. Some courtyards are magnificent, while others are quiet and small. Its three carvings of brick, wood and stone, some from the early years of Qianlong, are simple and rough, and still retain the Ming style; Most of them, like Gaojiaya, are fine and dense models of the Qing Dynasty. China Wang Museum, located in the top three of Hongmenbao, is the only Wang family culture museum at home and abroad.

The whole building of Chongningbao complex is similar to that of Fort Hong Men. The architectural image is the courtyard layout of "the tiger lies in the west mountain". The whole building is leaning on a high slope, with negative yin and yang, towering walls, uneven courtyards, simple and rough, close to the Ming Dynasty style. The "Liqun Art Museum" located in Chongningbao displays all the works of Mr. Liqun, a famous contemporary printmaker of Lingshi nationality. It is the crystallization of the overall artistic image of Liqun, which will be passed down from history to the future and have a far-reaching influence in the literary and art circles.

Wang ancestral hall is divided into upper and lower houses, with complete functions and exquisite design. There is a finely carved "Xiaoyi Square" in front of the ancestral hall. The ancestral temple is the home of the soul of Wang's ancestors. Since 1998, thousands of descendants of overseas kings have come here for sightseeing and ancestor worship.

Wang Jia Courtyard, as an outstanding traditional architectural cultural heritage and folk art treasure in China, has had a great influence at home and abroad since its opening nearly 10, and is widely praised as "the first residence of China folk houses", "China folk palace museum" and "Shaanxi palace museum". In addition, there is a widely circulated word of mouth-"The Wangs will not go to the hospital when they return."

There is also iron pot water, the diameter is 1 m. Water flows in from the cliff, does not overflow, and tastes sweet, which is called "a pot of spring". To the south of the spring, there is a tortuous stone step that stretches for 500 meters, that is, it reaches the deep valley at the bottom of the ditch, and there is also "cave water", which makes people feel relaxed and happy with the surrounding green hills and strange trees and flowers.

history

According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the noble meson Tui of the State of Jin followed Zhong Er, the son of the State of Jin, for more than ten years. Once he was hungry, he cut the meat off his thigh and gave it to Zhong Er. After returning to China, Jin Wengong took his mother to Mianshan for seclusion. Jin Wengong sent for him. In order to force meson out of the mountain, he adopted the method of releasing Yamakaji, but he burned meson and his mother.

Wen Gong was sad and angry when he learned that Mianshan was changed to Jieshan and Yangxian was changed to Jiexiu. It will also be "sealed around Mianshan, thinking that it will push the field" to show nostalgia. And the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day, that is, the day when the festival was over, no fire was allowed, and every household had to eat cold meals, which was the so-called "Cold Food Festival".
