A few people chatted happily, and the car went south along the central axis road, because they didn't notice the scenery outside, until a tall building stood in front of their eyes, and no one shouted,

"Hey, what's that stele standing on the bridge?"

Because there is no shelter around it, the building is very eye-catching, and you can almost see it at a glance.

"yes, what is this? Why make a boxy table? Is it the rooftop of the sacrifice? But there's obviously a stone tablet standing on it? Liu Yizhen first discovered the strange place of this building.

"Don't you know this?" Zheng Xin was a little strange, "It's called Yandun, it's the marker of Nancheng, and it's our house when you get here!" He happily told everyone, "The stele above was erected by Lord Qianlong, how is it, isn't it beautiful?" It can be seen that Zheng Xin is very proud of this building.

"I can't see it's beautiful, but it's very powerful, just like an iron tower general, guarding Xiongguan!" Liu Yijiao is quite imaginative.

"Hehe, you're right, it's really majestic and majestic, but this is not a general, but a building similar to a beacon tower!" Hearing Director Liu and his cousin talking about Yandun, Xie Na couldn't help but interject, "Curator, do you know why you want to build a Yandun here?" ”

"I really don't know, let you ask," Liu Yizhen seemed a little embarrassed, "I won't tell you, I've passed by Yongding Gate a few times, but I haven't seen this building?" Now it's suddenly revealed, and I'm really shocked," he told the truth, "It's the first time I've seen this building called Yandun!" ”

"It's excusable, don't say that you don't come to Beijing often, but the old Beijingers must know about this building,"

"Why is that?" Liu Yizhen is a little strange,

"It has only been leaked out in the past few years, and it turns out that it has been hidden in a bunch of bungalows, and it is easy for no one to find out. Maybe it's for this reason that it's been preserved. To be honest, if it weren't for the construction of the train station, I guess it would be difficult to leak out, because we have been living here, although close to it, but many people don't know what it is for, only the old man knows that there is such a building here, maybe people are intent on protecting, maybe they don't know at all, anyway, near Yandun, are full of bungalows, he naturally hides in the deep alley and no one knows! ”

It wasn't until later, when the surrounding houses were demolished, that the place suddenly became a green space, and the stele protruded from the stele, that people knew that there was really a swallow pier here, and it was thought that it was just a legend in the past. If it weren't for the construction of the railway station and the demolition of the bungalows here, who knew that such a great building would be here? Such a majestic and magnificent Yandun, almost drowned in the long river of history, and it has a similar fate, as well as the city wall of Yuan Dadu, the Ming city wall behind Beijing Station, not all like this? Xie Na was very emotional.

"Yes, many times, we are inadvertently able to preserve the cultural relics. Speaking of which, the Ming city wall is not because when the subway was being built, the accompanying family members built a shed next to the city wall, if it weren't for this reason, I estimate that it would have been demolished earlier. So things in the world are really right and wrong, this time and that time! Liu Yijiao sighed, "Therefore, we, the cultural relics workers, not only have to work hard to protect, but also dare to speak out, only in this way can we do this!"

"Well, that's a good point, Director Liu's generous statement made my blood boil suddenly," Dong Xiaoguang also came to the spirit, "The good things left by our ancestors are getting fewer and fewer, so we must work hard to protect them?" ”

"Yes, the people around this Yandun, who dares to say that they weren't intentionally protecting it at the beginning?"

"What the eldest brothers said is really good, in fact, right or wrong, it is really in a thought, because of a thought, it can be saved, because of a thought, it is ruined," Xie Na seemed to be more emotional,

"Some things, because I don't understand, so I don't cherish them, just like my favorite inscriptions, too few people know them, so many rare inscriptions have left their hometowns and wandered to foreign countries. Needless to say, it is the authentic work of the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi, is there still any in China? Until now, there has been no conclusion in the country. Therefore, for cultural relics, we must really understand it, and then widely publicize it, otherwise, how can the national awareness of protection be strengthened? Curator, do you think so? ”

"Yes, you are right, this is the responsibility of our cultural relics workers, and it is also the purpose of our cultural relics protection! Didn't you come up with an exam question just now, then I would like to ask everyone here, why do you want to build a swallow pier here? First of all, I don't know, who of you knows? Hurry up and popularize this knowledge to everyone, okay? Liu Yizhen changed the topic and skillfully pushed out the question raised by Xie Na just now.

"Director Dong, you are a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and must have studied traditional culture deeply, do you want to answer this exam question first?" Xie Na looked at Dong Xiaoguang and asked him mischievously.

"I think since this Yandun is located in the south of the city, it must have something to do with the direction. The south belongs to fire, from the safety consideration, the designers of the ancient capital in order to prevent fire, the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, water is to restrain fire. So I thought, is this swallow pier to be shaken with water in order to overcome the fire? Dong Xiaoguang shook his head and shook his tail, like an old master full of strings.

"That's not right," Dong Xiaoguang's answer was immediately rejected by Liu Yixuan, "This is a mound of earth, although it is made of bricks on the outside, but the middle is full of soil?" Where does the water come from? ”

"Curator, Director Dong is right, it is indeed because the direction is south, and the south belongs to fire, in order to show this fire, this beacon tower was built?"

"Oh, I understand, it turns out that this beacon tower symbolizes fire," Zheng Xin seemed to suddenly realize, "We used to play here when we were children, and there are 24 statues with bare chests and stomachs on it, but I am angry, is it the god of fire?" ”

"Cousin, they are not the gods of fire, they are the gods of water, they are the gods of fire, if you look closely, you will know that these 24 gods with bare chests and stomachs are sitting on the sea!"

"Oh, it's true, I thought it was a lotus, but it's actually a carved wave,"

"Yes, this is the wisdom of the ancestors. This building was originally built in the Yuan Dynasty and was an earthen platform at that time. Later, in the Ming Dynasty, it was wrapped up with bricks, and then, some artistic reliefs were added around it, and in the Qing Dynasty, a stone tablet with an inscription written by Qianlong Ye was erected, so the identity was immediately different. Originally, there were sacrifices every New Year's Festival, but later the superstition was broken, and there were fewer tributes. However, the water god carved in relief is indeed vivid and symbolic, which is the wonder of our Chinese architecture,"

Xie Na talked eloquently, and it was really extraordinary.......
