Chapter 506: Millennial Rosewood
After the reconstruction, the ancestral temple of the West Queen Mother has been enlarged compared with the original site, it is a courtyard-like structure, and two side halls of the east and west have been added, and later the bell tower and drum tower have been built.
Walking into the interior of the ancestral temple, the three halls in the temple immediately appeared in front of the tourists, there is no winding path through the quiet sound, some just face the splendor and atmosphere in front of them.
Standing in front of the main hall, the drone hovered over the center of the courtyard, Zhang Yang simply walked in, and explained the situation in the hall with his vivid and flexible explanation for fans who could not see the inside of the hall.
The main hall enshrines two statues of the Queen Mother of the West, one of which is carved from white marble, weighing more than 6 tons, donated by the monks of Nanyang, Henan, and the other is carved with thousands of years of rosewood, and the whole body is inlaid with 0.5 mm gold po, which was transported to Tianchi from Taiwan.
The east side hall is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the west side hall is dedicated to Lu Dongbin, one of the eight immortals. ”
The whole temple is scattered, magnificent, solemn, and yearning.
Fans are already very satisfied just by looking at the outside of the three halls through the picture, and the flamboyant explanation is so vivid, coupled with the photos that have just been released in the forum, it can be regarded as satisfying their regret that they can't enter.
"By the way, it is said that when the ancestral temple of the Queen Mother of the West was rebuilt, there was a story.
Before telling this story, you can first learn about the Cihui Hall over there, also known as the Cihui Palace, the address is located in the right 700 meters of the Yichang bridgehead in Beichang Village, Ji'an Township, Hualien County, Wanwan, after going there, interested people can go for a walk, built in 1950.
Because it is dedicated to the Golden Mother of Yaochi, Cihui Hall and the adjacent Teng'an Palace are both two famous tourist temples in Hualien County.
There are many titles of the Queen Mother of the West, such as the Queen Mother, the Golden Mother of Yaochi, the Holy Mother of Yaochi, and the Golden Mother of Jiuling Taimiao Turtle Mountain, all of which are well-known to everyone.
The reason why I mention this Cihui Hall is because it is the Golden Mother of Yaochi, that is, the Queen Mother of the West, that is, the Queen Mother of the West, that is, the chief of the Cihui Hall one night dreamed of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother in his dream asked him to rebuild the palace that had been destroyed for many years.
Then the chief Taoist went all the way to the Yaochi in the Tianshan Mountains according to the direction indicated by the Queen Mother in the dream, according to rumors, when the Taoist came here, he saw that the scene here was exactly the same as described in the dream, anyway, he said so.
Then he organized the 100 people of the Cihui Hall to make a pilgrimage to the Tianshan Mountains, and then began to donate money for the reconstruction of the ancestral temple of the Queen Mother of the West. ”
Most people are just amazed by this temple located on the heights of the Tianshan Mountains, and they are lamented by the patchwork, grandeur and solemnity of the entire temple, but they really don't know that there is such a statement.
White marble is pure white marble, since ancient times, there has been a situation where this stone is used to make stone steps and guardrails in the palace, the so-called "jade brick bar", gorgeous as jade, so it is called white marble.
But when it comes to preciousness, the statue of the god carved from thousands of years of rosewood is too precious.
Rosewood takes eight or nine hundred years or even thousands of years to grow into timber, according to Zhang Yang's knowledge, it seems that the largest rosewood log in China is in the Dongyang City Rosewood Museum, Dongyang City Rosewood Museum displays two large-scale small-leaved rosewood logs, which can be said to be the treasure of the museum, the height reaches 3.8 meters, and the diameter is an astonishing 38 centimeters and 40 centimeters, which is a well-deserved king of rosewood, which can be called a priceless treasure.
Zhang Yang had to sigh, carving a kind of god statue with thousand-year-old rosewood, those Taoist priests who bent over were really wealthy, but it seemed to be worth it for the sake of faith, as for whether that dream had really been done or not, no one knew.
"2333,000 years of rosewood, I've always heard it said, but I didn't expect to see it here!"
"Then I really have to come here to wander around, the ancestral temple originally built on the edge of Tianchi Lake is already attractive enough, not to mention the thousand-year-old rosewood!"
"Is it true or false? Isn't it true that there are a lot of fake ones out there?"
"Probably not, but who's to say!"
"Actually, I always feel a bit of a drama when I look here, and I used to think that the Queen Mother was very mysterious, but she was a mythical character!"
"Yes, I also think it's a bit of a drama, especially what Brother Yang said earlier, the Queen Mother of the West may just be the king of a small country in the Western Regions during the Zhou Dynasty, haha!"
Zhang Yang is noncommittal about this, anyway, the myths and stories that are circulating now are either fictionalized by people in ancient times in order to place their beliefs, or they are fabricated by officials to fool the people, or they are mythologized by people who don't know what the situation is.
On the hillside behind the ancestral temple of the Queen Mother of the West, there is the Juxian Palace of the Ancestral Temple, which is the place where King Zhou Mu visited the Queen Mother of the West as Zhang Yang said before, and took the fans to the back for a walk, and it seems that today's live broadcast content is over.
The main thing is that there is basically not much to see in this kind of temple, there are so many things back and forth, looking at the main hall and worshipping the statue, at best it is the beautiful scenery of the Yao Chi in winter here.
After Zhang Yang left the ancestral temple, the drone hovered above the Yao Pond all the time, almost turning around all the scenery that could be seen and the places that could be used as background screenshots.
When he came to the parking lot, it was only about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon, of course, Zhang Yang did not plan to leave immediately after getting in the car, but threw the drone into the mountains near Yaochi to take fans to see the beautiful scenery, and he prepared a belated lunch.
It was already late in the evening when I returned to Urumqi again, so I found a random place to park the car to prepare dinner and then go to bed, and then it was the second day to go to Lop Nur to prepare supplies.
The first day of December, is a rare sunny day, of course, the sunny day here is only relative to the car, to the outside don't look at the sun is very big, but the cold and frozen people shiver, especially the cold monsoon blows hard into the neck, so cold and biting.
In the morning, Zhang Yang is basically buying tools and food to use in the desert, and now it has entered the winter, Xinjiang does not care about the theorem of your inland cities, some places are cold, some places may be hot, but due to the special geographical environment here, the entire Xinjiang region enters the winter where it is cold, and it does not give face to the people who come here to travel.
Zhang Yang also specially prepared two down jackets that completely covered the whole body, so that he and He Xiaoman could go out and hang out after entering Lop Nur, the winter in the desert was very cold.
It was only in the afternoon that he drove in the direction of the horse field.
"Husband, is the parrot good to feed?"
Zhang Yang, who was driving, heard the question suddenly raised by He Xiaoman, the co-pilot next to him, he was also a little square, who knew if this thing was good to feed, he didn't even know how to feed it, so he had to tell some information found on the Internet.
"It should be easy to feed, anyway, this thing is in the impression of most of us ordinary people that it can learn to speak, as for how to feed it, I just checked the information.
I read that most parrots mainly eat plant fruits, seeds, nuts, berries, shoots and twigs on trees or on the ground, and it seems that they also eat a small amount of insects.
Didn't we already buy some dried fruits or something, if not, we'll use this when the time comes, and Lao Wang and his friends should have special feed, I said it's a little harder!"
That's right, the destination of Zhang Yang's trip is to buy a parrot, and at present, he doesn't know what breeds of parrots are available in the place introduced by Wang Wucong.
