Chapter 18 Li Jialong Palace
Li Jialong Palace (Li ancestral hall) was built in the early Tang Dynasty, is the Tang Dynasty palace style ancient buildings, is the world Li clan people Dun Zongmu clan, worship the ancestors of the ancestral hall, because of the Tang Taizong Li Shimin imperial pen book "Li Jialong Palace" famous at home and abroad, is the only preserved ancient building complex in Longxi,
Li Jialong Palace (Li ancestral hall) sits in the north and faces south, 600 meters long from east to west, 440 meters wide from north to south, and has a construction area of 250,000 square meters. The architectural style is a palace-style building, called the palace, not only the scale is large, but also the specifications are higher than the temple.
Nine beasts are placed on the roof of the main hall of the Dragon Palace, and under the feudal hierarchy, only the Imperial Palace and the Taihe Hall are placed with ten beasts, and the status of the Li Family Dragon Palace can be seen. There are 1,899 carved dragons of all sizes on the buildings of the Dragon Palace, symbolizing the deep roots and lush leaves of the "Eighteen Sons of Li".
During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Longxi has become one of the famous cities of the South Silk Road, and the Tang Emperor attaches great importance to the establishment of ancestral temples in the birthplace of the Li family, the birthplace of Longxi Treasure, which is intended to show the meaning of the ancestors and the distant place of Weizhen, and the plaque of the "Li Jialong Palace" written by the imperial pen, the royal people and local officials come to worship.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, social turmoil, ethnic integration, the Li family in Longxi crossed the Yangtze River and moved south, all over the place, and the Li Family Dragon Palace was destroyed several times and became a ruin. So far, the site has a radius of more than 100 acres, and there is a piece of rubble underground, and in some places it is as thick as 10 meters.
During the Song and Yuan dynasties, some buildings were restored, but they were also destroyed by war.
In the fifth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Li Ruxiang, a native of Linyi, Shandong, who was the governor of Longxi County, advocated fund-raising to rebuild the Li Jialong Palace, and because the Tang Dynasty had declined, only part of the buildings of the Dragon Palace were restored in the north of the old site of the original Li Jialong Palace, also known as the "Arctic Palace". After the addition of Li Jialong Palace, the peripheral buildings have the first gate of the north heaven (commonly known as the head of the heavenly gate), the second gate of the north sky, and the third gate of the north sky.
Qing Shunzhi five years destroyed in the military disaster, leaving only the "first gate of the North Heaven" archway. The first year of Kangxi was rebuilt, when Lu Peigao was appointed as the county governor in the 37th year of Kangxi, he had a plaque of "Yang Migao" on the "first gate of the North Heaven" during his term of office, and the city of Longxi fell in the fifth year of Tongzhi, and the Li Jialong Palace was robbed again.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China, it was successively added and repaired, although the scale was far less than before, but it was also dependent on the mountains and rivers, the buildings and palaces were uneven, and there was no other world.
Feng Qingyang looked at the Li Jialong Palace, which was no longer what it used to be, but still had the same demeanor, and couldn't help but sigh with a trace of emotion: I think that the Tang Dynasty, which had experienced the prosperity of "Zhenguan Zhizhi" and "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era", is now only left with that piece of rubble, and the earlier prosperity is gone forever. I can't help but think that the Tang Dynasty, which was prosperous earlier, can still leave a piece of rubble, but what can he leave behind when he leaves? I couldn't help but fall into endless silence.
Kong Yu saw that the scale of the Li Family Dragon Palace, which was not as large as before, couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I think that the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to the establishment of the ancestral temple in the birthplace of the Li family and the birthplace of the Longxi treasure land, which was intended to show the meaning of the ancestors and the distant place of Weizhen, and wrote the plaque of "Li Jialong Palace" in the imperial pen, and the royal people and local officials came to worship, how huge its scale is, but now it is only a few. Although the mountains and rivers depend on each other, there is no other world, but its scale is far less than before.
Feng Qingyang sighed helplessly and said, "Although the Li Family Dragon Palace will be repaired in every dynasty and every period, the damage to it has never stopped. ”
Hearing this, Li Mei was also very helpless, although Longxi is an ancient Silk Road, but after the destruction of several dynasties and generations, there are only a handful of ancient buildings left, which cannot be said to be a kind of sadness.
So everyone walked forward slowly with a heavy heart, admiring the main hall that fell on the eighteen steps and the huge gold plaque of the "Longxi Hall" hanging high.
As soon as everyone entered the hall, the former heaviness was suddenly swept away, and the endless joy of things was replaced. I saw that the hall was enshrined in the three emperors and five emperors, Gaotao, Li Lizhen, Li Er, Li Tan, Li Si, Li Xin, Li Hui, Li Guang and other Li ancestor tablets and portraits of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, and the side was hung with the "Tang Dynasty Territory Map".
So everyone bowed their heads and bowed reverently, because at this time they had been impressed by the great achievements of the ancestors of the Li family, so Feng Qingyang and others walked out of this solemn and solemn "Li Hall" with apprehension.
Everyone walked slowly along the winding path paved with blue bricks. On one side of the path are hundred-year-old trees, and on the other side are peonies and other flowers of wealth. Since ancient times, swords have been given to heroes, and flowers have been matched with beautiful women. So Nangong Xuan'er stepped forward, picked a peony, put it on his head, and dressed up Yang Guifei's looking back and smiled, which made everyone laugh and didn't know what year it was, Nangong Xuan'er didn't care about it, and still went his own way, visiting the side of the famous flower, and walking on the side of the famous flower.
After a while, everyone crossed the winding path and came to the part of the Dragon Palace that was restored in the north of the former site of the Li Family Dragon Palace during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the "Arctic Palace".
The overall architectural style of the Arctic Palace is "the first five floors", "the back five mountains" and the "central sacrificial area".
The front part is built with a stage and five buildings and large and small palace pavilion complexes, the courtyard is pine and cypress, solemn and quiet, called "the first five floors".
There is a main hall building complex in the middle, and the main hall and the halls on both sides are flying eaves and warping corners, and the dragons are pan ridges. The hall enshrines the ancestor of Taoism, Li Er, the ancestor of Taoism, the ancestor of Lv Xianzu, the real person of Chunyang, Lu Dongbin, the ancestor of Longxi Fang, Li Chong, the ancestor of Li Fu, Li Bai, the real person of Li Fu, Li Jing, the king of Tuota, the ancestor of Liyuan, Tang Minghuang, the ancestor of Jigong Bodhisattva, Li Xiuyuan, Li Xianweng, the real person of Tiegui, Li Xuan, and the marshal of Zhongtan, Nezha, the prince of Nezha, Li Luoche and other ancestors of the Li family. Therefore, every first day of the new year, the fifteenth day of the new year is surging, the incense is very prosperous, although it is neither the first day of the new year, nor the fifteenth, but the incense here is still very considerable.
And the back part is the back garden, there are five artificial piles of rockeries, respectively named Fuxian Cliff, Wenshu Ridge, Baiyi Rock, Jieyin Mountain, Taiyi Peak.
But unfortunately, the three have been razed to the ground after the liberation, so the wind is clear, and everyone can only appreciate the traces of history scratched there. Feng Qingyang and the others were a little disappointed in this, but they could only silently accept this ruthless reality, and there was no other way.
During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, due to a war of "anti-Qing and Ming", the Li Jialong Palace was burned, and the first archway of the North Heaven remained. Kangxi rebuilt in the first year, when Kangxi 37 years Lu Peigao was appointed to the county, there was a plaque of "Yang Mi Gao" hanging on the "first gate of the North Heaven", the city of Longxi fell in the fifth year of Tongzhi, and the Li Jialong Palace suffered another catastrophe.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China, it was successively added and repaired, although the scale was far less than before, but it was also dependent on the mountains and rivers, the buildings and palaces were uneven, and there was no other world.
"Arctic Palace", the incense is very vigorous, Nangong Xuan'er first stepped forward to burn incense there and worship the Buddha.
So everyone continued to move forward, and came to the main hall of the Dragon Palace, and the middle of the roof of the main hall of the Dragon Palace was the Ziya Tower.
Seeing everyone looking at Ziya Tower, Li Mei had a smug expression on her face, and said: "Actually, there is a legend about Ziya Tower."
Hearing this, Nangong Xuan'er looked at Li Mei with curiosity, waiting for Li Mei's words. And Li Mei didn't disappoint Nangong Xuan'er, took a breath, and continued.
According to the final ending of the book "Feng Shen Bang", there is a record: Legend has it that when Jiang Ziya was a god, every god had his place, and when he sealed all the gods, he found that he had no god position, even so, he had the divine whip to manage the gods, so Jiang Ziya jumped to the top of the temple at once, and was called the "plastic tower god", that is, the plastic tower position on the house, which is the god of the gods. ”
Feng Qingyang didn't care too much about those legends, but he still looked at the so-called Ziya Building, which was inextricably linked to Jiang Ziya.
I saw that there was a couplet on the door of Ziyalou, the upper link was "Senior brother should not be cold", and the lower link was "painstaking eternal transmission"; And there is also a couplet on the back, the upper link is "Samsung Wang Beidou", and the lower link is "Ten Star Zuogong".
The two sides of Ziya Lou are respectively the phoenix stepping on the peony, the dragon playing the lotus, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, and then the two sides are the dragon and the dragon, the claws of the dragon are facing upward, it is the dragon of the highest level, which means that "the phoenix steps on the peony and the dragon plays the lotus, and the dragon ascends the treasure palace and the ministers are virtuous".
On the ridge of the temple on the north and south sides are two groups of carved ornaments of different styles, with a lion carrying a vase in the middle, and doves and cranes on both sides.
The lion carries the treasure bottle for the meaning of attracting wealth and entering the treasure, the pigeon means the messenger who transmits good news, and the crane means longevity and longevity.
The carved ornaments on the roof ridge mean "the fortune of the country is prosperous, the treasure is eternal, the good news is always transmitted, and the country is eternal".
On the corner of the hall on the north side of the hall is the three sons of the dragon mocking the phoenix. Mocking the phoenix, it is dangerous in its life, and it is generally in the most dangerous place in the corner of the temple; On the corner of the hall on the south side of the hall is the nine sons of the dragon sneering and kissing, and the kiss is easy to swallow, so he swallows it on the corner of the hall.
Walking here, everyone was a little physically and mentally exhausted, so they sat on the stool for visitors to rest in the Dragon Palace, and freely "fugued" in this Dragon Palace.
Time flies like a white horse, suddenly.
Unconsciously, the night has gradually engulfed this Li Jialong Palace, which has a collection of tourism value and archaeological and historical value, which also means the end of today's journey of Feng Qingyang and others.
So Li Mei led everyone out of the Dragon Palace, and tasted the authentic Dragon Palace snacks at the stalls outside the Dragon Palace.
After the meal was full, Li Mei looked at her watch and said to Feng Qingyang: "Qingyang, how do you feel today?"
"Rewarding"
"That's good, now I'm going to go to school, I don't know you..."
Before Li Mei finished speaking, Feng Qingyang shortened Li Mei's question, and said very casually: "I haven't been to the place where you work yet, take this opportunity to just go and see it."
Li Mei smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and said that she agreed to Feng Qingyang's idea.
So the group walked towards the school where Li Mei worked, Longxi County No. 2 Middle School.
