About the Little Wild Goose Pagoda, Qin Feng knew. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The original name of the small wild goose pagoda is "the tower of the temple", and the construction of the temple is inseparable from the empress Wu Zetian.

In 684 A.D., the Empress Dowager Wu Zetian for her husband, Tang Ruizong Li Dan for his father Tang Gaozong to chase blessings and build a temple, the original name of Xianfu Temple, in 690 years, Wu Zetian officially ascended the "Holy Spirit Emperor" position, changed the dedication of the Temple to the Recommendation Temple, and personally wrote the plaque of "Edict Recommendation Temple" in flying white font.

The small wild goose pagoda was built by Tang Zhongzong in 707, so there is a saying that "the empress built a temple and Zhongzong built a tower".

Why do you have to build a pagoda for many years after building a temple?

This may be related to the famous monk Yijing in the Tang Dynasty, Yijing was influenced by Xuanzang, who traveled west to India for 25 years to seek the Dharma, and brought back a large number of Sanskrit scriptures, after Yijing returned to China, he presided over the translation of a large number of Buddhist scriptures, and during the construction of the Small Wild Goose Pagoda in 707-710, it was the period when Yijing presided over the translation of Buddhist scriptures here, so the construction of the Small Wild Goose Pagoda may be related to the preservation of the Buddhist scriptures brought back by Yijing from India.

During the Tang Dynasty, domestic students could go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda for the "Wild Goose Pagoda Inscription", which means "leaping to the Dragon Gate".

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Wuju people in the local township test in Shaanxi Province imitated the custom of inscribed under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda of Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty, and carved stones under the Small Wild Goose Pagoda of Jianfu Temple to leave their names, forming the style of "Wuju Inscription of the Wild Goose Pagoda".

Nowadays, there are still 16 inscriptions of Shaanxi Wuju Wild Goose Pagoda in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty and other periods.

The top of the tower fell due to the earthquake, and "repaired as the old" was not added.

Compared with the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Little Wild Goose Pagoda is much more dilapidated, especially the gap that is missing at the top of the tower, and there is no complete tower top and gourd-shaped tower like the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Why didn't you make up this part when you trimmed it?

The top of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda was shaken down in the Guanzhong earthquake on December 12, 34 years of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty.

In the 29th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, "a rebuild of the tower, a rebuild of the tower courtyard, and a rebuild of the tower base", and did not repair the top of the tower.

And from the records and paintings of the past dynasties, the small wild goose pagoda itself is a spindle-shaped with thin ends and thick middle, it is the Qing Dynasty this time to trim, under the base of the tower thickened more than 70 centimeters of brick wall, so the small wild goose pagoda has become the current bamboo shoot shape.

In 1963, when the renovation plan was proposed, because a Ming Dynasty tablet with the original top of the tower had not yet been unearthed, the top and brake could only be redesigned with imagination.

However, at that time, the Ministry of Culture's opinion was that "the renovation should be as old as the old", so the original appearance was maintained, and the small wild goose pagoda was still roofless.

Why do you "crack but not fall" after many earthquakes?

Qin Feng knew that in the history and legend of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda, the most mysterious thing was that the Little Wild Goose Pagoda had cracked several times due to earthquakes, and then mysteriously closed several times.

According to the literature, the Little Wild Goose Pagoda has at least had "three fissures and three combinations".

The first time: the last year of the Ming Dynasty (1487) Chang'an earthquake, the tower from the top to the foot, the crack is Xu, pedestrians often see it.

In the last year of Ming Zhengde (1521), the ground shook again, "the tower is the same overnight, if there is a god who compares with him", this saying is that Wang He of the Ming Dynasty listened to the monks of the temple said.

The second time: in the 34th year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1556), the Huaxian earthquake, "the tower cracked into two". Jiajing 42 years of earthquake, the tower closed without a trace.

The third time: Kangxi (1691) "the tower cracked again", "Xin Chou (1721) compound".

Many experts agree with the "three splits and three combinations", but there are also many architectural experts who oppose them, believing that the ancient pagoda is simply impossible.

Some people believe that after the ancient tower is cracked, because the small wild goose pagoda is built with blue bricks and yellow mud, there are still wooden components connected between the layers, and the block on the top of the coupon cave will inevitably fall when the cracking is larger, and there will be a large number of residual bricks falling in the cracks, which will inevitably hinder its reintegration.

Besides, it is impossible for the fallen bricks to return to their original positions on their own, so it is impossible to "reunite the ancient towers".

Some people also believe that the so-called "Shenhe of the ancient pagoda" may be because of the good rain, the weeds in the cracks of the ancient pagoda are dense, and when viewed from a distance, it is like "the harmony is as good as ever".

In many major earthquakes, a large number of ancient stupas collapsed, and those that did not collapse also tilted.

And the unique small wild goose pagoda did not tilt, but only cracked in the earthquake, why "cracked but not collapsed"?

The foundation of the small wild goose pagoda is a step-shaped rammed earth foundation, which deepens and thickens layer by layer from the periphery to the center, and the underground palace is all rammed earth, with a thickness of more than 3.8 meters, and at the bottom of the rammed earth, it is found that there is a layer of crushed stone that is artificially paved, which is very hard and difficult to penetrate.

There are many reasons why the Little Wild Goose Pagoda has not collapsed for thousands of years, but the broad and solid step-shaped foundation should be an important basis.

And why is it cracking from it?

Some experts believe that from the appearance of the small wild goose pagoda, people can see that there is a small window on each floor of the tower body, and the windows are opposite to each other in the north and south, and the top and bottom are open on the same vertical line, so that the weakest section of the tower body strength is formed here, and the firmness of the wall structure is weakened, so it is easy to crack from here during the earthquake.

Only people in the feng shui world know that the real reason for the three openings and three combinations of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda is not like this.

These are just speculations from the world.

Even the reason for the establishment of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda, Qin Feng also knew.

As we all know in the feng shui world, the three openings and three combinations in the history of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda are not the reasons speculated by those experts, but the real reason is the reason for the establishment of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda.

In the feng shui world, there is such a rumor about the Little Wild Goose Pagoda.

It is rumored that a demonic soul is suppressed in the Little Wild Goose Pagoda.

In history, the three openings and three closures of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda were caused by this demonic soul.

And the original role of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda was to suppress this demonic soul.

Qin Feng restrained his thoughts.

"Rare books fell out of this little wild goose pagoda?"

Qin Feng asked again.

"Yes, Master Qin, I can be sure of this, it is recorded in some archives, and this thing cannot be faked. ”

Shang Chengjun nodded affirmatively.

After Qin Feng heard this, he stopped talking, and already had a certain thought in his heart.

"Yo, isn't this the second young master of the Shang family? Didn't the second young master of the Shang family say that he would never participate in the gathering of the upper circles in the capital city? Why do you have time to come here today?"

Qin Feng was thinking about it, and at this time, a voice next to him came slowly, with obvious mockery in his tone.

Qin Feng looked up and saw that a middle-aged man about the same age as Shang Chengjun walked over with a wine glass.

"I Shang Chengjun doesn't seem to be in charge of your Zhao Lao Er!" Shang Chengjun retorted.

"What's the matter? It's really rare for others to comment on your own arrogant words. Zhao Lao Er spoke.

"That's also better than Zhao Lao Er, the thousand-year-old king and eighty-thousand-year-old turtle. ”

"Poof!" Hearing Shang Chengjun's rebuttal, Qin Feng didn't hold back and laughed directly.

Qin Feng didn't expect that Shang Chengjun, who was usually serious, would be so sharp in scolding.
