Chapter 296: The Picturesque Temple of Literature
"Okay, Aunt Lin, you're busy, I'll take my sister and them, let's go to the Confucian Temple Ridge and the Wumiao Ridge first."
Wang Qiang saw that there were five of them, two big and three small, and they were completely busy, so he didn't delay their business here.
"Aunt Lin, goodbye!" ……
My sister also knew that standing here would delay business, and when they saw that their brother was leaving, they waved goodbye to Lin Liping one by one.
Wang Qiang took a few little girls and continued to stride towards the nearby Confucian Temple Ridge, and after a while, he came to the foot of the ridge.
The Confucian Temple Ridge is not high, only about 100 meters high.
But it is not small, covers an area of about three miles, and is a loess ridge.
From a distance, it looks like a large round bun.
The central square of the county is located at the foot of the ridge directly east of the Confucian Temple Ridge.
Wumiao Ridge is located behind the Confucian Temple Ridge, two large ridges, about the same size, the height is also about the same, close together.
The two large temples of the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Wu are located directly south of the two earthen ridges, standing side by side, each with their backs to a earthen ridge.
Wenmiao Ridge and Wumiao Ridge, hence the name.
The county has made great efforts to renovate the Confucian Temple Ridge and the Wumiao Ridge this time, and the action is very large.
Everyone came to the foot of the Confucian Temple Ridge, and there was a large bluestone staircase in front of them.
The width of this section of bluestone steps is more than 30 meters and the length is about 50 meters.
There are three bluestone archways, which stand high on a large platform in the middle of the bluestone steps in turn.
This large platform is paved with neat bluestone slabs, forming a small square paved with bluestone slabs.
In the middle of the three archways, there is a bluestone tablet that is three meters high, two meters wide and one foot thick, and the tablet is engraved with traditional Chinese inscriptions, which narrates the history of the Confucian Temple Ridge since ancient times and anecdotes, which is justified and well-founded.
On both sides of the three bluestone arches, several evergreen trees have been transplanted.
These trees, under the care of special people, are already vibrant and verdant.
From here to the Confucian Temple Ridge, there are two bluestone roads on the left and right.
In the middle is a large bluestone paved road made of bluestone steps that leads to the top.
This kind of large-scale bluestone slab road, there is one in the four directions of Confucian Temple Ridge and Wumiao Ridge, and the road side is full of evergreen pines, neatly distributed, very good-looking.
As for the bluestone road in the winding mountain, every thirty meters or so, there is a large circle around the entire earthen ridge.
The entire Confucian Temple Ridge is a neatly planned bluestone pavement, connected in all directions, you can go up and down from the four sides of the Datuling, or you can follow the bluestone pavement and green grass to reach any corner of the ridge.
On the entire Confucian Temple Ridge and Wumiao Ridge, except for some century-old trees, they are neatly planted with evergreen pines, which look orderly and beautiful.
Between the evergreen pines and the evergreen pines, there is a good kind of turf, which is clean and tidy.
Wang Qiang took his sister and three mutant dogs, and spent about twenty minutes directly on the top of the Confucian Temple Ridge, which is a large stone tower.
The stone tower here is not a recent construction, but from the middle of the Ming Dynasty, when the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Wu were built, it was handmade by the ancients.
The stone towers on the top of the Confucian Temple Ridge and the Wumiao Ridge cover the same area, all of which are the size of acres.
In the middle of the tower at the top of the Confucian Temple Ridge, there is a tall stone tower, the bottom is nine meters square, there are six floors high, each layer is about three meters high, it looks very shocking.
The higher the tower went, the smaller it became, until at the top of the sixth floor, there was a stone pillar in the shape of a lightning rod, the size of an electric pole tree.
This stone forest is surrounded by stone railings with three layers of inner and three outer layers, and there are entrances around it, and the ground is all paved with large bluestone slabs, which looks very solemn and tidy.
After hundreds of years, this stone forest is still not damaged at all, and it is conceivable that the craftsmanship of the ancient stonemasons is high.
The reason why Confucian Temple Ridge and Confucian Temple Ridge are famous is because of the stone towers on the top of these two earth ridges.
These two mountains are recognized by the people of the tea city as the feng shui that suppresses the tea city, so no one dares to destroy them.
This has been able to survive intact to the present in the storms of history again and again.
Of course, in the 21st century in the memory of later generations, the world is declining, and the Confucian Temple Ridge and Wumiao Ridge have become a pair of wild mandarin ducks meeting place, which makes people can't help but shake their heads.
If the saint has a spirit, it is estimated that a thunderbolt will fall on a sunny day and kill a large number of wild mandarin ducks.
However, that is the memory of posterity.
As the butterfly storm that Wang Qiang inadvertently set off intensifies, the current tea city, compared with Wang Qiang's later memories, has begun to become unrecognizable.
First of all, the scale of the renovation of the central square and the Confucian Temple Ridge and the Wumiao Ridge far exceeds the memory of later generations.
Then, with the increasing effect of the great changes in the tea city brought by Wang Qiang, the tea city will inevitably rise in the future, and the Confucian Temple Ridge and Wumiao Ridge will also usher in a large number of tourists in the future.
Those wild mandarin ducks, in the future, will be difficult to hide on the soil ridges of these two tourist attractions, and they will be easily exposed to people in front of and behind them.
People, although they can be shameless, are absolutely afraid of being pointed at by thousands of people.
"Brother, this Confucian Temple Ridge has been transformed so well now, it is clean and tidy, there are evergreen pines everywhere, and the grass is green."
Wanjun likes the current Confucian Temple Ridge very much.
She has a quiet personality and loves this kind of green natural scenery very much.
Moreover, the bluestone slab road on the Confucian Temple Ridge extends in all directions, and when visitors walk, they are comfortable and comfortable, and even their mood cannot help but become quiet.
"Well, that's pretty good."
Wang Qiang climbed the brand-new Confucian Temple Ridge, and only then did he know that today's tea city also has one or two master planners.
Otherwise, the Confucian Temple Ridge definitely does not have such a good planning layout, and it is very close to nature.
"If you want me to say, the stone tower here is still good-looking, and it is not bad compared to my brother's craftsmanship." The straightforward Wanyu praised sincerely on the side.
"Indeed, the stone towers built on the top of these two large earth ridges are very good."
With Wang Qiang's vision, he also appreciates the stone forest architecture here.
"Brother Ah Qiang, we have seen this Confucian Temple Ridge once, now let's go to the Wumiao Ridge over there to have a look."
Chen Lin's girl, full of interest, pointed to the equally huge Wumiao Ridge nearby and said, "I heard that on the top of the Wumiao Ridge, there is a large stone sculpture of the martial saint Guan Public Relations Master, which is very powerful. ”
She heard her mother Lin Liping talk about some of the situation in Wenmiaoling and Wumiaoling, and she was very curious about it.
"Good! Let's go over from here right away and go to Wumiaoling to see first. ”
Wang Qiang is very interested in stone carving, especially the stone carvings of the ancients hundreds of years ago.
His favorite thing now is to find some ancient buildings to prove his craft, so that he can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and strive for excellence.
After a while, the five of them took three mutant big dogs and walked in the direction of Wumiao Ridge behind the Confucian Temple Ridge.
In the north of this Confucian Temple Ridge, there is a bluestone slab road formed by a large bluestone step, which leads directly to Wumiao Ridge, which is very convenient to travel between the two large mountains.
Wang Qiang estimated that in half an hour at most, his party would be able to reach the top stone tower of Wumiaoling.
