Shenyang Beiling Park

In Beiling, there are the second generation founding monarchs of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Taizong and Huang Taiji, as well as a number of famous ladies and beauties such as Xiao Duanwen, Guan Pian Palace, Imperial concubine of Linzhi Palace and Princess Shu of Yanqing Palace.

Gu Song in the mausoleum is towering, the lake is rippling, and the golden tile red wall is dazzling. It fully shows the majestic momentum of this feudal royal cemetery. The unique solemnity, sobriety and mystery of "the land of geomantic omen" make people feel relaxed and happy, lingering, and remind them of the past.

There are red, white and blue boundary markers around the mausoleum area, and there are 442 pieces of wood in front of it (also called "refusing Ma"). The mausoleum area is long and narrow from north to south and narrow from east to west. At the southernmost tip of the mausoleum is the Ma Xia Monument, and to the north are the Huabiao and Shishi. There is a god bridge and a polyester well in the north of Shishi. Shenqiao is a stone archway, in the north. There is a small courtyard on the east and west sides of the stone archway. The East Cross Courtyard is a dressing booth and a quiet room. The dressing pavilion is the place where the emperor changes clothes and takes a nap during the sacrifice. This quiet room is the royal toilet. The West Courtyard is a provincial sacrificial pavilion and a building. Provincial sacrifice pavilion is the place where livestock and poultry are slaughtered during sacrifice, and building houses is the place for sacrifice. To the north of the stone archway is the main entrance of the mausoleum-Dahongmen, which is surrounded by vermilion walls. There is a straight "Shinto" in Dahongmen, and a pair of Optimus Prime, a pair of stone lions, a pair of stone unicorns, a pair of stone horses, a pair of stone camels and a pair of stone elephants stand on both sides of the Shinto from south to north. These stone beasts unite you into a "stone elephant". Further north, in the middle of Shinto, there is a pavilion of divine power and virtue. There are "noodle houses" on both sides of the pavilion. To the north of the pavilion is Fangcheng. The main entrance of Fangcheng is called "Long 'en Gate", and there are buildings on the door. In the middle of Fangcheng is the Long 'en Hall, and on both sides are the attached halls and buildings. There are two pillar gates and a stone altar behind Long 'en Temple, and then there is the ticket gate. The top of the ticket gate is Daming Building, and the entrance of the ticket gate is Crescent City. There is a glass curtain wall on the front of Crescent City and a "ramp" on both sides. Behind the Crescent City is Baocheng and Baoding, and inside the Baoding is the "heart" of the mausoleum-the underground palace. Behind Baocheng is a man-made mountain-"Long Ye Mountain". In addition, on the west side of the mausoleum, opposite Baoding, there is a group of buildings named "Yijing Grand Guifei and Kanghuishufei Garden Sleeping", which is the burial place of concubines of Emperor Taizong. The architectural layout of Zhaoling strictly follows the mausoleum rules such as "the central axis" and "the front facing the rear sleeping". The main building of the mausoleum is built on the north-south central axis, and other ancillary buildings are evenly arranged on both sides. This design idea mainly embodies the supremacy of imperial power, and at the same time achieves aesthetic effects such as making the building complex stable, balanced and unified. The "front yard and back bedroom" is for the need of "things die like things live, and things die like things exist". The palaces used by emperors before their death were all built according to the "front yard and back bedroom". According to the traditional concept of the ancients, the emperor should also "face the DPRK" as scheduled after his death, and still have a "bedroom" for food and shelter.

The management of Zhaoling has two government offices: civil and military. One is called General Yamen, and the other is called Customs Yamen. The customs yamen is mainly responsible for the defense of the mausoleum area, and the customs yamen is responsible for the sacrifice and the general repair of the mausoleum building.

It should be pointed out that:

Dismounting Stone: In ancient times, anyone who offered sacrifices to the mausoleum had to dismount here and walk to the tomb. It is said that the emperor also went in. And queue up to enter, no crossing, or you will be killed.

Hua Biao: Each Hua Biao consists of a column base, a column and an exposed disk. On the stone pillar with endless clouds, a dragon winds around it, giving people the feeling that Yulong is soaring in the sky. At the top of the carved dragon giant column, the white stone cloud wings cross into flowers. Above the cloud wing is a round dew tray, on which there is a crouching beast named "Looking to the sky". It is said that the beast squatting on the top of the Hua Biao is Hou, one of the nine sons of the Dragon, and has the habit of watching.

Generally, there are two pairs of China watches. One pair is outside the door, looking south at the sky and looking outside the palace. People call it the "king". They are responsible for observing the emperor's behavior when he goes out, hoping that the emperor will return to the palace as soon as possible, and don't always have fun outside the palace and stay outside for a long time, wasting national affairs. When the emperor went out to play for a long time and didn't come back, The King said, "King, don't wander outside. Come back to deal with state affairs. We are looking forward to your return day and night, and our eyes are almost pierced. "

Behind the door, a pair of China watches face the north and look at the palace. People call it "Wang Jun". They are responsible for monitoring the emperor's court life. If the emperor lived in the harem and didn't often come out to observe the people's feelings, he advised the emperor to say, "monarch, don't always stay in the palace, just play with the empresses." You should come out and see the suffering of the people! " We are looking forward to your coming out day and night, and our eyes are almost coming through. "

Shenqiao: Zhaoling Shenqiao is a three-hole arched stone bridge, with blue brick pavement (now changed to stone), stone guardrails on both sides, and towering horses carved on the railings, as well as "eight treasures" such as grass, seawater, rivers, flowers and plants and rhinoceros horns. Above the guardrail are carved "Aquarius Cloud Arch" and "Lotus-leaning" watchtowers, with stone lions guarding the bridge at both ends and "Jade Belt River" under the bridge.

"Shenqiao" is a widely used architectural form in the tombs of emperors in Qing Dynasty. It not only has the function of decorating mausoleum buildings, but also has practical value. As far as Zhaoling is concerned, the terrain of the mausoleum is basically low in the front and high in the back. In this way, every rainy season, there will inevitably be a lot of rainwater leaking from the back to the front, and the Yudai River in Shenqiao becomes a drainage channel, which plays a role in protecting the mausoleum. Although it is dry most of the time now, it will still rain in the rainy season.

Stone archway: Archway is a typical building in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is the starting point of etiquette notes, and also plays a role in decorating tombs and increasing momentum. This stone workshop is a wooden structure sculpture with vivid and lifelike modeling. On the other hand, the most striking thing is the five pairs of stone lions that play the role of clamping bars. They squatted on sumeru, with their heads held high and their mouths open. The whole stone workshop is carved through, that is, flat carving, round carving, relief carving, through carving and other carving techniques and a furnace, which is a huge treasure of stone carving art.

Zhenghongmen is the main entrance to the mausoleum. There is a "divine gate" in the middle of the room, which is the "divine gate" of Emperor Taizong and Xiao Duanwen. It's not open at ordinary times, only when it's a big sacrifice. The one on the east side is called "Military Gate", which is the door that the emperor walked through when he came to pay homage to the mausoleum. The dado and the top of the wall are decorated with yellow glazed components, and the wall is red. This wall is also called "Red City" or "Feng Shui Wall", and the main building of the mausoleum surrounds it. Opposite Zhenghongmen, there is a glazed sleeve wall on both sides, which is 8.5 meters long and 5 meters high. The so-called "sleeve wall" is the same as the photo wall in appearance, except that it is not in the middle of the door, but on both sides of the door, just like the sleeves of clothes. There is an oval colored glass in the center of the sleeve wall, the scientific name is "box". It is inlaid with Yunlong, a kind of stained glass, and there are four dragons on both sides of the wall. Strangely, each colored glass brick has a series of different numbers.

Shinto (feng shui is clear at a glance):

Entering Zheng Hongmen, the road connecting Shenmen in the middle is called Shinto, which, like Shenmen, is the passage for the soul of the tomb owner to enter and exit.

According to the Ming and Qing tombs system, Shinto has many restrictions. First, it is not allowed to see from one end of Shinto to the other, and there must be a building partition in the middle, which means that Feng Shui is clear at a glance.

The pavilion built on the Shinto of Zhaoling has an invisible effect on geomantic omen. Second, you are not allowed to wander around at will.

Looking into the Monarch Gate of Zhenghongmen, you can see Shinto and Shen Gong Shengde Monument Pavilion.

Stone statue students refer to the stone man and beast placed on both sides of Shinto. There are 12 pairs of stone beasts, which are sitting and standing. They are lions (symbolizing power), lions (symbolizing justice), camels (symbolizing traffic), elephants (symbolizing good luck and peace), unicorns (symbolizing good luck and peace) and horses (symbolizing fighting), among which camels, elephants and horses are means of transportation in different places, so they symbolize a vast territory; There are 12 stone men, including 4 military attaché s (symbolizing the imperial guard), 4 civil servants (symbolizing being close to civil servants) and 4 respected officials (symbolizing meritorious officials).

The stone man in front of the mausoleum, also known as Weng Zhong, has two symmetrical figures, namely the image of a civil servant and a military attache. There is a saying about the image, which comes from a strongman named Ruan in Qin Dynasty. It is said that he is 10 feet long and has great strength. He stationed in Lintao and conquered Xiongnu. After his death, the bronze statue of Weng Zhong specially made by Qin Shihuang stood outside Sima Gate of Xianyang Palace. Huns came to Xianyang, met the bronze man, and fled for Ruan who was alive. From then on, people called the bronze men and stone men in front of the Forbidden City or Weng Zhongling as "bronze men".

The stone beast in front of the mausoleum also has a history. Stone beasts were placed in front of the tomb from Huo Qubing's tomb in Han Dynasty. When later emperors built their own tombs, they also used the decorations of stone men and beasts in front of the tombs. So now, almost all the tombs of the Tang Dynasty, Song Ling, Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty have stone men and beasts on display in front of their tombs. These stone statues were built in the tenth year of Xuande (1435), and they reflect the etiquette of the emperor before his death and the dignity after his death. The stone statues are all carved from a whole stone, with large volume and fine carving. The largest stone statue is 30 cubic meters and weighs dozens of tons.

There are only six pairs of stone beasts in Beiling, which is far less ostentation and extravagance than the Ming Tombs.

Longenmen is the main entrance of Fangcheng. It is a square table masonry structure with an arched doorway. There is a stone door above the lintel, and the three characters "Long En Men" are engraved vertically on the door. The front of the ticket is stone carving, engraved with moire patterns, and the lower alkali part is engraved with turquoise and other patterns. The pine tree is old and twisted like a Youlong. There are two operation doors in the middle of the doorway, which are covered with iron sheets and locked with door bolts. There is a "Dan" paved with blue bricks in front of the door, which is the place where Fuling officials pay homage. There is a gatehouse at the top of Long 'en Gate, commonly known as "Five Peaks Pagoda". This building has three floors and the roof is built on the hill. In the middle of the ridge, there is an original gourd baked with glass and reinforced with four gold bars. These gold chains (actually copper-plated gold) are commonly known as "Jiangshan Wandai". During the Republic of China, due to local unrest, it was taken down and handed over to the government for safekeeping. As a result, they have nowhere to find.

The Wufeng Tower is three rooms wide, two rooms deep and three floors up and down. The style is quite similar to the Phoenix Tower in Shenyang Forbidden City. This building is the tallest building in Zhaoling. It is said that in the past, when the weather was fine, you could see the Taizi River in Liaoyang hundreds of miles away.

Fangcheng is 20 feet 3 feet 3 inches high and 79 feet in circumference. It is made of blue bricks, and there are cribs (hidden openings) and female walls on the east, west and south sides. A wall is built in the north, and there are "paths" on both sides of the door for going up and down. The road is 5.4 meters wide, paved with blue bricks, and the road surface inclines from outside to inside.

There are turrets at the four corners of the city, with two floors, all of which are one room, with yellow glazed tile roof, treasure gourd in the middle of the big ridge, and wind chimes hanging under the four arch corners.

Small animals are unique.

Painted paintings decorated with oil paints inside and outside, with opposite doors on the front and stairs inside for going up and down. There are four lattice doors on the upper floor.

It is said that Fangcheng is the epitome of Shengjing. It is a typical feudal castle with tight doors and numerous streams.

Long' en temple

Long Entang is also called "Xiangtang". The Long 'en Hall in Zhaoling is a place where the owners of the mausoleum, Emperor Taizong, Huang Taiji and Empress Xiaoduanwen, are sacrificed. Chongde was founded in August of the eighth year. In November of the seventh year of Shunzhi, it was named "Long 'en Hall" and a plaque was hung at the same time. Kangxi was rebuilt 30 years ago, and now it is what it looks like after Kangxi was rebuilt.

This hall is three doors wide in the west and two rooms deep, with a single eaves and a mountain-resting style. It has porches on all sides and a yellow glazed tile roof. There is no ceiling in the hall, and the beam is exposed and painted on it. This practice is called "transparent architecture", which is a feature of early Qing architecture. There is a big warm pavilion covered with yellow satin behind the house, also called "wearing a hat". There are beds, curtains, Huang Yun satin shampoo and bedding, bamboo trees (poles for hanging clothes) and so on.

Long 'en Temple was built on a huge stone platform, six feet high and thirty-six branches and four inches in circumference. The abutment is sumitomo-style, with hooks around it. There are three steps on the front, and the base design of Xumi Mountain can be divided into six layers from top to bottom. The first layer is beaded pattern, which is a row of stone carving belts that are tangent to each other and look like round beads. On the second floor, the pattern units composed of leaf-rolling flowers repeatedly constitute the upper Fang of Xumi Mountain. The third layer is the owl above, which is a row of lotus petals; The fourth layer is the girdle, which is also a unit composed of rolled leaf flowers; The fifth layer is the lower owl composed of lotus petals; The sixth floor consists of a row of lip-shaped flowers. Fence, column, Aquarius cloud arch (also known as net vase lotus leaf), watchhead, drum-holding stone and other parts are all exquisitely carved, with creeping weeds, leaf-rolling flowers, pomegranate flowers and other patterns, which are beautiful, smooth and free to roll.

Yilingmen

They are commonly known as two-column doors, which are really vulgar. Behind the Long 'en Temple, they are also called "Tian Chong Archway" and "Phototypesetting". At the door is a room with a glazed tile roof and a square stone pillar on each side. There are drum-hugging stones before and after the stone pillars. There is a "looking up to heaven" at the top of the column, which faces south, and one of them is locked with chains. Folklore; In those days, when carving this jar, the craftsman accidentally broke his finger and blood splashed on it. Due to the moonlight, this jar became a "boutique". From then on, he stopped behaving himself and often went down to the Hunhe River in front of the mausoleum to drink water. When it was known to the emperor, he ordered him to be locked up. In addition, there is a wooden door between the two stone pillars, called "two-column door", which is closed all the year round.

Behind the two-poster door, the stone altar is eight feet six inches long, five feet wide and four feet high. It is carved out of white marble and shaped like a housemate. Carved with various patterns. Carved with twisted lotus flowers and precious flowers, the patterns are rich and the branches and leaves are neat. Xia Fang carved "eight-treasure Buddha", such as snail, * *, treasure umbrella, white cover, lotus flower, Aquarius, goldfish, pan intestine and so on. There are also Taoist sculptures, such as Han Zhongli's warm and cold fan, Cao Guojiu's eight diagrams cloud board, his Yin and Yang sword, the basket of blue-colored cranes, his fire gourd, He Xiangu's bamboo fence, Han Xiangzi's cave flute and Zhang's fishing drum. Eight dark immortals ". These "eight treasures" and "dark eight immortals" mean to dedicate all the treasures to the tomb owner. In addition, persimmon, Ruyi, pure bottle and quail are engraved on the stone altar, which means "all the best" and "nothing is wrong".

There are five stone carvings on the altar. In the middle is an incense burner (also called "seamount"), and on both sides are a pair of incense bottles and candlesticks. The incense burner has two ears and three feet, and is engraved with Wan Fu Ruyi Xingyun, Ganoderma lucidum and mother-of-pearl. Legs are elephant trunk legs. Steady shape, there is a "purple stone flame" in the furnace (there is a saying that it is "Duan Xi stone", that is, the stone for making inkstones), and purple stones are also erected on the perfume bottles on both sides, which means that cigarettes are constantly burning, and the Qing Dynasty is a series of eternal life.

This altar is a place where the emperors or princes of sweeping monk are offered "condolences" and libations. Some people say that the entrance to the underground palace is under the stone altar, and it is not known whether it is true or not. It will not be verified until the day when the underground palace is opened. In the Qing Dynasty, once the stone altar was erected, it was never allowed to move.

Ming Lou, also known as Daming Lou, is located at the north gate of Fangcheng. There are one or two white marble stone tablets in the Ming building, about six meters high. The head of the stone tablet is a faucet, and the word "Zhaoling" is engraved in the middle of the opening. The inscription "Emperor Taizong's Mausoleum" is vertically engraved on the monument. It is also a Manchu-Mongolian-Han trisomy. This monument, also called "Holy Monument", is immediately inscribed with the monuments of Emperor Taizong's "Temple Number" and "posthumous title".

The so-called temple number is the arrangement name of the ancestral temple after the emperor's death, which means that the descendants are arranged in the order of Zuo Zhao and Mu. Taizong's Zuo Zhao was called Taizong, so Taizong became the temple name of Huang Taiji. The so-called "posthumous title", also known as posthumous title, is a rhetoric that highly summarizes the merits and demerits of the emperor's personal life. Yi Zhou Shu's Interpretation of the Law says: "The interpreter is also a trace of his actions. Number. Merits are also shown. " Posthumous title should be "addressed" by the heir emperor, and posthumous title should be added after the third and fourth emperors succeeded to the throne. Therefore, there are many words in the emperor's obituary, generally more than 20 words. The full name of Huang taiji's posthumous title is "Yingtian Xingguo Hongde Zhangwu Kuanwen Shengrui Xiaomin Zhao Dinglong Dao Gong Xian Wendi". * * * 25 words. But generally don't call it by its full name. I want to replace it with its last three words. Huang Taiji and posthumous title are referred to as "Wendi" for short. The word "Wen" has the meaning of "learning from the heavenly latitude", "following", "being close to the people", "cultivating the sacred knot" and "teaching by sound". The inscription on the tablet, like the tablet, should be written by the heir. However, this monument was built during the Kangxi period, so it was not written by Shunzhi, but by Emperor Kangxi. Although the inscription on the tablet of Shengde can be written by a scholar, this tablet should be written by Emperor Kangxi himself.

Daming Building, the tallest building in Zhaoling, was attacked by thunder and fire several times in history. The most serious one was May 29th, the fourth year of the Puppet Manchukuo (1936), when the whole Ming building was almost destroyed by thunder and fire. The sacred stone tablet was also damaged by thunder and fire. The decorative pattern is incomplete, and there are cracks in the monument body, so we have to reinforce it with two iron hoops. The current Daming Building was rebuilt by 1939.

Yueyacheng

Crescent City is behind Daming Building, so it is named "Crescent City" because it looks like a crescent. The city is two feet seven inches high (slightly lower than Fangcheng) and has a circumference of twenty-seven feet seven feet. The city is empty and lifeless. Only the colored glazed wall embedded in the north wall of the Ming building archway population area adds some vitality to this empty city. There is a vase on the zhaobi, with lotus flowers in it and lush foliage. Although the name' Crescent City' is beautiful, there are many thrilling legends.

According to legend, the entrance to the mysterious underground palace is behind this gorgeous glass screen. In order to prevent someone from robbing the tomb, many hidden weapons were installed at the entrance of the underground palace, and hidden weapons's organs were installed on the glass screen.

Those red flowers and green leaves on the wall may be its switch. If anyone touches it carelessly, the poisonous arrow in the underground palace will fly out ...; Some people say that this place is also called "the dumb house". When the mausoleum was restored, they were afraid that the mausoleum workers would go out and reveal the secrets inside the underground palace. After the underground palace was closed, they concentrated the mausoleum workers in Crescent City, forcing everyone to take a medicine, and the mausoleum workers could not speak from now on. It is also said that when the emperor stopped carrying the tomb staff into the underground palace for fear of leaking secrets, he immediately blocked the entrance to the underground palace. All the staff of the mausoleum were buried alive in the underground palace, waiting for burial. These legends really make people feel that Crescent City is a spooky place.

-In fact, judging from several excavated tombs of Qing emperors, none of the above legends exist. First of all, the entrance to the underground palace is not in the glass wall of Crescent City. There were no poisonous arrows in the underground palace, and no mutilated Linggong was found in the underground palace. The above legend is not credible.

Crescent City is a special space between Fangcheng and Baocheng in the layout of the mausoleum building. The trails here are used to go up and down Fangcheng and Baocheng.

Baocheng is a semicircle city with a height of 20 feet 3 feet 8 inches and a circumference of 6 1 foot, also known as "luoquan Wall". It is made of blue bricks with a symbolic crib and a female wall. There are also facilities such as "Lotus Leaf Bottle" to remove stagnant water. According to legend, Xiubao City uses "boy rammer", that is, when tamping the soil, a group of boys of about ten years old are selected and stepped on the ground, laying bricks while stepping on it. Probably because boys and girls are symbols of purity and auspiciousness in traditional concepts!

The mound in the middle of Baocheng is called Baoding, also called "Dulong House". It is twenty feet high and thirty-three feet in circumference. It is compacted with concrete (lime, sand and loess). It is said that some glutinous rice soup should be poured when tamping. If the boy is unlucky, the soup is not sticky, but it is hard when it is cold. The skin on the top of the treasure should be painted with white ash. Make it clean and firm, and it will not be infiltrated and washed by rain.

The underground palace is the "heart" part of Baoding underground mausoleum. Official books are not confidential to the imperial tombs and laws and regulations, except the underground palace, which is confidential. But it's not as good as Qianlong's underground palace:)

Ten scenic spots in Zhaoling

In ancient times, scholars liked to summarize a place or a place of interest into several landscapes. Each scene is named after four words, literally neat, just right for the village, so as to facilitate memory and recitation, as a compliment to the hometown. According to historical records, there are ten scenic spots in Zhaoling, namely, Longshan Snow, Baoding Ning, Shanmenkou Lamp, Moonlight on Monument, Misty Rain in Oak Forest, Hunhe Tide, Meadow Warbler, Swallow on Tower, Star Glory on Table and Immortal Ascension.

1. Snow in Longshan:

Longshan is Long Ye Mountain. Although the mountain is not high, the vegetation is lush. Winter in the north is very cold. There is a lot of snowfall. Every winter, Long Ye is covered with snow, just like a silver dragon covered with scales and armor. Lying behind the mausoleum.

2. Baoding Ninghui:

Baoding is twenty feet high and thirty feet in circumference. The surface was painted gray with lime. Whenever the sun sets in the west, the sun shines on Baoding, making Baoding shine like an inclined "mirror".

3. Gate lights:

The mountain gate is Dahongmen. In ancient times, there was no high-rise barrier between Zhaoling and the ancient city of Shenyang. Looking from the tomb, the towers, walls, pagodas and temples of Shengjing can be vividly seen. Especially on the night of Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month of every year, I stand at the main entrance of the mausoleum and look at Shenyang City in the night, but I see the lights are brightly lit and looming. Now, this situation can no longer be seen.

4. Moonlight on the monument:

The stele building refers to the stele pavilion of Shengde. According to legend, the glazed tiles on the roof of this building have a special composition, which can shine under the refraction of moonlight at night. Especially on the night of 15, the sky is vast and clean, and the light refracted by the roof is more and more vivid.

5. Misty rain in oak forest:

Zhalin is north of Donghongmen. According to legend, the weather will suddenly clear up after the heavy rain in summer. At this time, the oak forest will have a smoky landscape under the sunlight. The reason may be that the leaves of oak trees are thicker than others and absorb water easily. The sun suddenly became hot and the water contained in the leaves evaporated.

Transpiration.

6. Hunhe Tide:

According to legend, the original ancient road of Hunhe River was before Zhaoling. On one occasion, the Zhaoling Festival coincided with the flooding of the river, and all the officials who came to worship their ancestors were separated on the other side. They couldn't offer sacrifices to the graves on time, so the officials were punished. So, in order to prevent similar situations from happening again, Hunhe River was diverted to the south of Shenyang. "Hunhe Tide" refers to the flood before the diversion of Hunhe River. Of course, the theory of Hunhe River diversion is just a legend.

7. meadow warbler:

"Meadow" refers to a wilderness north of the red wall behind the mausoleum. Commonly known as "white meadow".

8. Taque:

"Tower" refers to the Five Peaks Tower in Long 'enmen. This building is tall and open.

, is the habitat of birds. They built many nests on it. Every evening, after a day of foraging, finches gather from all directions and fly up and down around the Five Peaks Tower.

9. Hua Biao is immortal:

According to legend, Ding became immortal, turned into a white crane and returned to his hometown of Liaoyang.

10. Longtou Waterfall:

The faucet refers to the animal head protruding from the four corners of the platform of Long 'en Temple, which is actually a drain. Every time it rains heavily, the accumulated water in the Long 'en Hall and the platform pours out from the faucets in the four corners like a waterfall. Of course, the beauty of Zhaoling does not stop there.
