Is an incomplete picture - small remember that tower tower Tianning one of the series

 Lantern Festival.
Was getting dark.
Air was filled with the sound of firecrackers and the taste of the upcoming carnival.
Outside the city, a shadow of them, a tall, splendid figure, attracting men and women of the city to the patch of Night in bloom, up the tower to row with thick canopies, are hung under each Yanjiao a small oil lamp, a brilliant figure, and it was sketched out. Around this figure is shrouded in cigarette , and the crowds of people, in which Hu Fu Han population cap, the shuttle with a variety of styles style of thousands of the hh
this desirable scene, my imagination based on historical records by tracing out the Liao Dynasty in Nanjing (now Beijing) Tianning tower scene.
Speaking of towers, which in the tourism, we often ignored. In fact, it is the ancient Chinese civilization bequeathed to us the most complete one of the oldest buildings. So there is a special reason. our nation's ancient architecture to civil engineering structures the main timber of flammable, it is hard, now complete Most of the palace temple renovation or new construction, can only be traced back to some of the ancient Ming and Qing dynasties, of course, say that building on the ground, underground tombs, Tomb of the novel that the . The tower is an exception, starting from the Sui and Tang dynasties, the tower masonry gradually replaced the wooden tower, and some towers gradually separate from the temple, thus, the sustenance of China's unique culture, wonderful architecture, will pass through a thousand centuries of wind and rain, is still standing in the eyes of modern people. So, the same Chengguan masonry buildings, in addition to the Great Wall, why are seldom kept? It is because the old city walls of the ancient residents of security, out of which around a stable world, but also surrounded the economy, surrounded by political and economic development and political change is the reason for a certain period so that the walls become obstacles, they were pushed to be dismantled as a historical necessity, from the capital to the county, it represented a square of ancient culture during the period begins with the stage of history gradually disappeared, leaving a child we stand before the gate in front of emotion.
Therefore, the tower, the only remaining historic buildings, its body carries too much content, too many secrets buried, so that one can get a lot of us enjoy the spirit of the carrier, how can we ignore? Well, from this article, we talk about the tower. If the broadly written, Not only boring, but not write is to write cultural tourism. I will use my own footsteps approaching an pagodas, open a mysterious the mystery of ancient buildings.
we mentioned earlier Tianning from the tower to begin with. (This is because my private reasons: Tianningsi no tickets.)
in today's busy East Ring Tianning bridge, one can see two prominent buildings side by side under the blue sky in the clouds: a large chimney built during the Cultural Revolution, one of Liao pagodas, which are both top of their respective age representative of the building, of today, still towering.
tower, in the Chinese view, often tall symbol. reform and opening up, high-rise buildings sprung up, like the pipes of old Beijing are more than 12 layers, each layer is more than forty-five called tower high-rise buildings. I checked the dictionary, the tower is the tower of the building, should be tall and spire, but Beijing's skyscrapers which tower spire almost no one is, then this is the name for sure whichever is the meaning of tall. tower in ancient times, the other against the background of low-rise residential buildings, the tallest building could be a really is.
Tianning really tall tower, standing on its feet look, layering dense canopy tower row up, Tasha away can not climb, I really have a sense of line roller. For the general structure of the tower is divided into tower base, tower, Tasha and the underground palace, Kentucky is divided into base stations and base. Tianning square tower base stations have a meter, while the base even more than Yao Ming's 2.26 meters high. Like many, like the tower, the base is Xu Mizuo. what is Xu Mizuo it, the image that is wide between the upper and lower waist of the pedestal, probably something like an inverted equilateral triangle stacked on top of another. In ancient Indian legend, Sumeru is the center of the world, so many Buddhist architecture base with it to highlight the profound Dharma.
Yang Xu Mizuo the upper part of the rosette , like the lotus throne that Goddess of Mercy, and each is actually a lotus flower lamp, a total of 360; in the Liao Dynasty, the temple festivals or the eighth day of each month ignited lamp, a distance really points a; get very close between the layers, which is typical of Miyan Shi pagoda. Miyan, Gu think Italy is a row of very dense canopy tower, between layers is not much space. Miyan Shi Tower is evolved from the pavilion tower, and it and pavilion-style tower overlooking the biggest difference is not board, it simply is not go up. precisely because the space between layers is small, so the number of layers can be more general Miyan Shi tower in seven storeys above the 13 level tower Tianning.
setting sun, the Tianning canopy tower against a weak layer of gold, neatly arranged in a kind of tranquil solemn sense, because not go up, so we feel even more full of flavor, and even a few canopies plexus between the vicissitudes of weeds also reveals a somewhat mysterious. Each Yan Jiao is a wind Duo, Duo is the bell, general and military and religious related, the bell, but the breeze is over, that their canopies are still among some rusty natural issued knocking Fine, so the tower is one of the people who suddenly quiet, with this solemn resonance produced a wonderful, wash in the silence But the dust, through time and space in the tranquil hh
part with a sense of space and time there carving on the tower. Tianning and beautifully carved tower, the base structure of the brackets on vinyl sculpture, intrigue, great vivid and detailed. This is because the evolution from the pagoda to the brick tower in the process of artisans in order to preserve the unique colorful wooden structure, and done a lot of vinyl component, which is China a major feature of the tower masonry.
addition, King, Hercules, Buddha, Shoutou, coupons door, moire, with Buddhism, the lotus and other Chinese folk culture, meaning and significance of the decoration pattern can be seen everywhere in the Tianning tower, the tower as if more than one flavor of elements three-dimensional picture, gorgeous brilliant and unique fun. on the decorations there is an interesting story.
Initially, people generally believed that the tower was built in the Sui Dynasty Tianning, Liang was the son of Mr. Liang Sicheng determine that the tower but the tower of non-Sui Liao tower, which according to him the important point is that these tower designs. because of the characteristics of Sui Tang Ta are generally simple and solemn, less a small carved decoration, while the tower during the Song, Liao, more refined, floral complex.
Later, in the renovation of the tower when the tower at the top of the tower found a monument, a monument on the record turned out to be Mr Leung's inference. In fact, the earliest known Tianning Lin ji, there is in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and later when the Sui Dynasty temple built a wooden tower, the legend for collection Fozusheli; Liao Dynasty, the pagoda turned into a brick tower, which is that today we see the tower Tianning.
Tianning damaged several times, after several renovations Today's Tianning also repair old as in recent years, the results, already is a new look; and only that sihou this ancient tower has experienced many vicissitudes, has standing. However, the tower body sculpture of Buddha that although the gorgeous Guinness, but some has been incomplete, and some did not his arm, and some did not the head, there's even the whole body has disappeared, leaving only the traces of carvings in the somewhat bleak in the setting sun.
sun gradually drop, I standing in the shadow of the tower, looking at some of these incomplete daze. In the past, see them, often have regret and anger, and today, I actually have a different kind of perception: whether it is wind and rain damage to the statue or the war or is it Red Guards, as long as from the natural history of a particular factor (except for theft and destruction of low quality), with irreversible macro reason, the result of this damage to a hidden history to answer its own will become a part of history. It is this part of the return of history, and placed reflection, setting a tremendous sense of beauty, which is why we still keep the ruins of Yuanmingyuan, the reason of that piece.
tourism is one such, do not pursuit of perfection, nor to blame others, hold a sense of balance and enjoy the scenery of a different perspective; the face of the remains of broken, so that the rain had damaged it in the past, and raised the ax and freeze the moment, let us with a different age relics found imprinted up, so that the U.S. will be incomplete long time to diffuse in the heart hh
Sometimes life is not that right?
