"Where are we going next?" asked the little one with a grin.

"It's not far from the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower, let's go to the Bell and Drum Tower to see, the far place won't go today, if there is still time after coming down from the Bell and Drum Tower, we will drive around Chang'an City to take a look. Ye Xiaoyao thought about it, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and he couldn't go to a distant place, so he could only take a stroll nearby.

"Okay, okay, let's go now!" the little guy is always so energetic.

The little guy ran in front of Ye Xiaoyao and Zhao Ying, Ye Xiaoyao naturally took Zhao Ying's hand, this place is not far from the Bell and Drum Tower, so there is no need to drive, you can reach it by walking.

"Look, Xiao Wu's appearance, how happy. Zhao Ying and Ye Xiaoyao's pace was very slow, and they were both very happy watching the little guy running happily in front.

"Yes, but now there are too many people, let's take her along, okay?" Zhao Ying was a little worried, it was the 11th Golden Week, and there were still a lot of people who came to Chang'an to travel.

"Don't worry about this, Xiao Wu can't lose it, even if a trafficker comes, can he escape my eyes? Take 10,000 steps back, which trafficker is the opponent of this little guy?" Ye Xiaoyao smiled slightly, with the strength of the little guy, ordinary traffickers really don't have the ability to do this.

"That's what I said!" Listening to Ye Xiaoyao's words, Zhao Ying relieved herself.

"However, let's follow along, you shouldn't have been to Chang'an before, right?" Ye Xiaoyao smiled slightly.

"Well, I haven't been here in the northwest. Zhao Ying nodded.

The two quickened their pace, and soon caught up with the little one.

"Why are the bell towers and drum towers so named, are there any allusions?" asked the little one curiously.

"Let me tell you a little bit about the history of this bell and drum tower. Ye Xiaoyao thought about it and slowly told the little guy what he knew. And Zhao Ying on the side also listened curiously, she didn't know this knowledge.

"Let's talk about the bell tower first, this bell tower was not built here in the first place. Ye Xiaoyao smiled slightly.

"Wasn't it built here?" the little guy looked curiously at the bell tower in front of her, it was so huge, how could it not have been built here in the first place?

That's right, the bell tower was built in the seventeenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1384, when its location was about 1 kilometer away from here, in the north of the West Street at the entrance of Guangji Street. This location is on the central axis of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the center of Chang'an City in the Five Dynasties, Song and Yuan Dynasties. Although Chang'an City was expanded in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, people were probably accustomed to it at that time, and the bell tower did not adapt to the expanded urban pattern when it was first built.

However, two centuries later, as the city center moved eastward, the city gate was rebuilt, and new east, south, west, and north streets were formed, and the bell tower located in Yingxiangguan became more and more detached from the city center. In the tenth year of Wanli of Mingshenzong, that is, in 1582, under the auspices of Gong Oxian, the governor of Shaanxi, the bell tower came to a whole migration. Ye Xiaoyao opened his mouth and recounted, "This matter is above the bell tower, on the west wall of the second floor, there is a "Bell Tower Tablet", and there is a clear record of this on it!"

"Is that so? Then Xiao Wu should take a good look!" the little guy looked curiously at the direction above the bell tower, and then went directly to the ticket office.

Ye Xiaoyao shook his head helplessly, this little guy.

However, he quickly followed, paid the little one, and bought the tickets.

"Wow! this bell is so big!" looked at the bell hanging above the bell tower, and the little guy couldn't help but sigh.

"This is not big, at the beginning, the bell tower hanging bell is much bigger than this! It is the Jingyun bell cast during the Jingyun period of the Tang Dynasty, but, interestingly, this Jingyun bell could not ring after the relocation, so in desperation, I had to recast the bell in front of me. Ye Xiaoyao smiled and touched the little guy's head.

"Huh, bigger than that?" said the little one, in disbelief.

"That's right, it's bigger than this, that Jingyun Bell is still in the Forest of Steles Museum, if there is a while, we can go over there and have a look, you will know what a small witch is!" Ye Xiaoyao nodded.

"Well, I'm going to see what I can get now!" said the little one, and walked away again.

Ye Xiaoyao and the two shook their heads, and then followed.

"Like...... I don't understand!" the little guy looked at the awkward words on the "Bell Tower Tablet", pouted, and stood in place.

"Roughly, it's what Dad just said, these are classical Chinese, and when you learn the relevant knowledge, you will be able to understand it!" Ye Xiaoyao smiled slightly.

"Alright then!" the little guy nodded, then took out his phone and took a picture carefully.

"Baba Baba, let's hurry up and go to the Drum Tower, and we'll go to the Forest of Steles Museum in a while!" the little guy urged.

"You little guy, come, take a photo with your mother!" Ye Xiaoyao said angrily.

"Oh, I don't think I have photographed the scenery yet!" the little guy stuck out his tongue.

Ye Xiaoyao shook his head helplessly, and then the three of them took some photos on the bell tower, and then left the bell tower and went to the drum tower.

"Baba, what are these bell towers and drum towers built for?" the little guy asked puzzledly, "In ancient times, this should be the center of Chang'an, right?

In fact, this is the ancient Chinese bell and drum culture, this culture has been passed down for a long time, as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, has sprouted, not only because copper is a precious metal in ancient times, but more importantly, in people's minds, the bell and the tripod are the same as the symbol of power, status, and even become a symbol of whether the war has achieved the final victory. In the fields involved in the culture of bells and drums, such as the sacrifices and feasts and entertainment of the temples, the size of the scale of the bells and drums, the number of bells, and the sophistication of the production have also become symbols of power and status. Ye Xiaoyao said slowly.

"I see, the ancients were really superstitious!" the little guy pouted.

"In fact, when it comes to superstition, it may not only be the ancients, but now these rich people are also superstitious, they are superstitious about feng shui, superstitious fortune, for feng shui, they may spend millions or even tens of millions!" Ye Xiaoyao smiled slightly.

"It's like, it's like our family, no one lived in it before, just because the feng shui is not good?" The little guy remembered the situation when he bought the manor with Ye Xiaoyao before.

"That's right, this is a phenomenon, and that's the main reason why those powerful feng shui gentlemen will always make a lot of money!" Ye Xiaoyao smiled slightly.
