Section 526 Langzhou Ancient City (2)

This flying saucer is said to arrive, the speed is indeed galloping, I don't know how many times faster than the plane, we soon arrived at the ancient city of Langzhou with lightning speed, the ancient city of Langzhou and the ancient city of Langzhong in the modern society is still not the same, looking down from the sky, you can see its scale is more majestic and magnificent, the ancient city of Langzhong in modern society can not be compared with it, after all, it is now a thousand years ago, the degree of preservation of the house is still good, and the air here is fresh, industrial exhaust, car exhaust is less, the cultural relics are also a kind of natural protection, and the current ancient city of Langzhou is much larger than the ancient city of Langzhong in modern society, many places look different from afar, it is the original antique feeling, more desirable, eager to wear. We feel non-stop walking over, walk in to see, only feel that the city gate of Langzhou is really magnificent, and we saw the Roman city gate before the same towering into the clouds, magnificent, majestic, but there is a bit of ancient only the original classical flavor, Langzhou city open a total of four gates, the north gate is west, the south gate is east, the east, south and north have added the urn city, but the west gate is missing. Topographically, the western wall is close to the river, which is due to the cramped space.

Quicksand looked at it carefully, and said with relish: "It's true that the feng shui is quite good, the front and back markets, the left temple, and the right Sheji." The capital city is true, and the county is not the only one. Langzhi is the rule, Panlong Mountain is behind it, and Jinping Mountain is in front of it. Jinping Mountain is suitable for the river water storage place, the south of the city is also suitable for the river water bend ring..... Langzhou City sits in the north and faces south, the front faces the back city, the left ancestor and the right society, embodies the traditional Chinese urban layout form. And we just saw the whole picture of Langzhou city at a glance on the flying saucer. You can clearly see the outside of Langzhong City, the northeast mountain is high and steep, the top of the main mountain Panlong, there is a stargazing platform for watching the sky at night; the southwest terrain is low and flat, and the fire temple is erected; the southeast boat comes and goes, the business is prosperous, and the God of Wealth building is established. These are related to the Feng Shui Nine Palaces Bagua, and indeed still have a certain significance, "Zhou Yi Saying Hexagram" pointed out that the Northeast is the Gen hexagram, symbolizing the mountain, and it is the beginning of the end of all things. Ancient feng shui scholars took this as the best direction to observe celestial phenomena, so they built this stargazing platform, so that the observation of celestial phenomena in Langzhong flourished, and it became a famous folk astronomical research center in ancient times. Due south away from the hexagram belongs to the fire, so near this direction to build the fire temple to sacrifice the fire; the southeast Xun hexagram, the main wealth, set up the God of Wealth building to pray for wealth and blessing, this is the most common practice in feng shui.

The southeast of the city is a prosperous and splendid place, temples, ancestral halls, guild halls, Zhenjiang Towers - the Huaguang Building of Nanjin Pass, which is facing the Jiangnan outlet, is readily available. According to the feng shui book "House Genealogy Questions and Answers", the south gate and east gate of the city should be high and high, which is exactly what happened to this scene. Feng Shui book on the particularly exquisite - Fuzhou County, the internal government office, warehouse, Wenchang Pavilion, Kuixing Tower, Chenghuang Temple, Guandi Temple shrines; ”

Xiao Fei began to say with a smile: "If this is the case - it is mentioned in the book that the site of Langzhong City in the Han Dynasty was in the northwest of the city, and the riverbed of the Jialing River changed and gradually eroded to the east bank, and in the Tang Dynasty, the city site had to move east and south. Outside the west gate, there are Langfeng Pavilion, Lansheng Mountain House, Shikui Pavilion, Wangye Temple, Zhenshui Old Iron Rhino, New Shark Fin and other ground features. Its feng shui imagery is in line with what is said in the "Yang Mansion Meeting Heart Collection": the city gate is related to one party to control the people, and it must be argued, and it must always be based on welcoming the mountains and receiving water. He also said: If there is a moon city, it will be collected by the outer gate, and if there is no moon city, a pavilion or a pavilion will be built outside the city to collect it. Moon City is Urn City. The urn city was not built outside the west gate, so the pavilions, temples, pavilions, houses, etc. were built, so as to overcome the difficulty of the west gate to welcome the mountain and receive the water, and artificially obtained the auspicious image of feng shui. The choice of feng shui not only soothes people's psychology, but also further constitutes ancient Lang scenic spots such as Xijin Wandu and Shikui Lingyun in the landscape.

Later, you will walk slowly and leisurely inside, you will find that the geometric center of the ancient city of Langzhou is located in the place of the antique Zhongtianlou, and the Chinese dynasties have admired the square and Shangzhong, so the determination and arrangement of the city center is the top priority of urban construction. The Zhongtian Tower is located at the intersection of the main roads in the east, west, north and south of the city, which is in response to the metaphor of the ten paths of Feng Shui Tianxin, and is the main cave of Langzhong City. The streets and alleys in the city, with this as the core of the four-way development, respectively with the case mountain towards the opposite and according to the background scene, the so-called flying pavilion in the city even the pavilion, everywhere Xuan window to the Jinping. With Zhongtianlou as the center, there are also the Boryeong Prefecture Office, the North Sichuan Provincial Office, the Confucian Temple, the Wu Temple and other government agencies and religious and cultural buildings, which are in line with the feng shui "Kyoto takes the court hall as the main acupoint, and the state and county take the public hall as the main acupoint."

More than hundreds of antique streets and alleys and hundreds of ancient houses in Langzhong also pay great attention to feng shui, all of which are backed by mountains and waters. There are many and long streets in the east and west, and few and short streets in the north and south, which not only satisfies the good orientation, but also makes the buildings high and low, rich in layers, with a wide field of vision and good ventilation. The mountains, rivers and cities of Langzhou are like lips and teeth, and the living environment is interesting and exemplary. Since the middle of the Warring States period in the middle of the Warring States period, the capital of Pakistan was moved to Langzhong due to war, and the emperors of all dynasties regarded it as an important town in the southwest, and competed to set up counties, prefectures, prefectures, and provinces here and painstakingly manage them. During the Three Kingdoms period, Langzhong was a well-known ancient city. Especially in the early Tang Dynasty, when King Lingkui of Lu and King Yuanying of Teng successively guarded Langzhong, they built a large number of buildings and built palaces according to the pattern of the palace, so that the architectural style of Langzhong suddenly rose to the grade and scale, and it was called Langyuan. Since then, the princes and grandsons of successive dynasties, and the imperial court officials have also hired skilled craftsmen during the detention of this feng shui treasure, or built a house to build a mansion, or chose a good place to repair the palace, which gradually formed a unique pattern of the Tang and Song dynasties in the ancient city. There are thousands of ancient streets and alleys, and there are tens of thousands of ancient courtyards.

So I personally think that those ancient cities of Langzhou are really mysterious and peculiar. Its unique face, the unity of heaven and man, by the mountains and rivers, the landscape configuration between the mountains and rivers is the simplest, most complete and most accurate embodiment of the feng shui theory dragon, sand, hole, water imagery, the landscape city is integrated, forming a mountain surrounded by water, surrounded by the golden city, the city wall pavilion, the water and the mountains, heaven and earth, the composition - Xuanwu hangs its head, the vermilion bird dances, the green dragon meanders, the white tiger is tamed" The image pattern and the structural schema of the landscape city, typically embodies the ancient urban construction planning ideas and practices of our country, no wonder the ancients called it one of the three wonders in Shu, so the famous historical figure Zhang Zhidong praised as Jialing a river victory in Langzhou. Naturally, those ancient people didn't seem to understand the last sentence, and they were confused, because this Mr. Zhang Zhidong was a Qing Dynasty person, but they didn't say a word, showing respect for the speaker.

We slowly wandered around the city, and felt that the ancient city of Langzhong was very beautiful and had a historical charm, and many historical figures left their footprints here. And the scenery is unique here - the mountain surrounds all sides, the water surrounds the three directions, heaven and earth are set, by the mountains and rivers, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, it is really worthy of the reputation of Langyuan Wonderland, Baguo Shu to rush. The Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu left here a famous sentence that is rare in the south of Langzhou City. Su Shi once praised Langyuan's thousands of beautiful reflections of the jade world, there is only this new flower in the world, and Lu You also left a good sentence here in the city of Feige Lianwei Pavilion, everywhere Xuan window to Jinping. Especially because in the early Tang Dynasty, when King Lingkui of Lu and King Yuanying of Teng successively guarded Langzhong, they built a large number of buildings and built palaces according to the pattern of the palace, which became a trend, so that the architectural style of Langzhong suddenly tasted high, unique, unique, and brought forth the new, and it was called Langyuan. Since then, the princes and grandsons of successive dynasties, and the imperial court officials have also hired skilled craftsmen during the detention of this feng shui treasure, or built a house to build a mansion, or chose a good place to repair the palace, which gradually formed a unique pattern of the Tang and Song dynasties in the ancient city.

We are all full of interest, full of interest wandering in the ancient city of Langzhong, the most make us linger, tsk praise is those intricate, dog-tooth intertwined, vertical and horizontal hooked fat fat and thin, long and short, like long and short sentences of the general ancient streets, ancient courtyards, ancient houses and embellished with the vicissitudes of the ancient trees, complex and chic, exquisite, contrasting, complementing each other, and the ancient streets and alleys of these ancient cities are also quite cultural, full of poetic and picturesque feeling, there are Baiguoshu Street, ancient lotus pond street, Huaishu Street, Ying'en Street, Zhuangyuan Street, Sanchen Street, Liangmu Street named after celebrities and major historical events, Guanxing Street and Bixiang Street named after geographical feng shui, Jifang Street, Vinegar Fang Street and Steamed Bun Lane named after the connotation of handicraft industry development, are full of fun. And the street is row upon row, densely packed with houses, there are all kinds of courtyards, there are Zhangjia Courtyard, Ma Family Courtyard, Pujia Courtyard, and the Confucian Family Courtyard of the seventy-sixth generation grandson of Confucius, walk in, only to find that the courtyard is deep, magnificent, unique, antique courtyard, these Langzhong ancient dwellings melt the characteristics of the northern courtyard and the Jiangnan garden architecture, forming a building group with different styles, harmoniously coexisting, complementing each other, and contrasting with each other. Knock on the ancient streets and alleys one by one heavy double door beast ring wooden door, you will be deeply attracted by the pavilions and pavilions inside, the beautiful scenery, those chic, high and low pavilions, those through the windows of the forest and bamboo, those strangely shaped rockeries, those tall and straight trees, those caged thrushes hanging in the corridor chirping, those clear pools floating water lily flowers, those green ponds swaying and colorful frolicking fish, composed of a picture of good sound, The three-dimensional pictures of movement and harmony give people endless reverie and aesthetic pleasure.

What particularly catches our eyes is the exquisitely clear and ever-changing carvings and carvings, which are one of the main features of Langzhong ancient architecture. Look carefully, it is really as antique and antique as the book says, beautiful, the grip on the house, the eaves, the eaves, the doors and windows, the lintel, most of them have a variety of finely carved carvings. These carved patterns are rustic and finely made, and are appropriately embellished in some parts of the components, playing the role of finishing touch in the overall structure. In particular, the hollow window flowers of the strange courtyard are more ethereal and clear, vivid, these deep house courtyards that exude an ancient atmosphere appear bright and clear, count carefully, the window flowers of these ancient dwellings in Langzhou amount to more than 100 kinds, it is really worthy of the reputation of a great wonder of Chinese folk architecture. And the patterns are numerous, there are all kinds of postures, there are everything, colorful, bizarre, countless, there are strange flowers and flowers that depict natural scenes, there are piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings that reflect the life of the market, there are rare birds and beasts that symbolize auspiciousness, etc., we are dizzying, lingering.
