Chaozhou Paifang Street 1
The archway was demolished on 195 1 but rebuilt in 2006. From a historical perspective, cultural relics are of little value. But in terms of ornamental value, when you see a row of more than a dozen stone archways standing in front of you, it is like crossing many land borders. In addition, many well-known snack bars on the Internet are interspersed in Paifang Street. Basically, people who come to Chaozhou to play, even if they don't look at the historical sites, will more or less take some photos of the stone archway, which is a must-see attraction. If each archway is carefully explored, you can find every strange thing that is submerged in history. Kaiyuan Temple was founded in the Tang Dynasty and has been maintained by several generations. It is the first ancient temple in eastern Guangdong and one of the four existing Kaiyuan temples in China. The whole temple retains the layout of the Tang Dynasty, reflecting the architectural art of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the incense is flourishing.
2. Kaiyuan Temple in Chaozhou
Kaiyuan Temple was founded in the Tang Dynasty and has been maintained by several generations. It is the first ancient temple in eastern Guangdong and one of the four existing Kaiyuan temples in China. The whole temple retains the layout of the Tang Dynasty, reflecting the architectural art of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the incense is flourishing. The arches and beams of Kaiyuan Temple are very distinctive. The unique Chaoshan folk carving style is applied to the beam. The lower corner should be "flying fish". In addition, there are sculptures of mythical animals such as faucets and lions. After carving, it is coated with a layer of gold paint, which is a major feature of Chaoshan woodcarving. In addition, the golden lacquer hanging eaves and moire arches under the faucet are beautifully carved and very beautiful.
The stone building is composed of stone carving components, which was built when Kaiyuan Temple was first built. It lasted 1200 years. Although the stone surface has been seriously eroded and the image is mottled, the sculptures with clear lines and refined techniques, such as lux, Manglietia and Shuanglong, are still faintly visible.
3. Xu
Xufu is the residence of Xu Xuan, the Xu family in the Northern Song Dynasty, which has been renovated many times in the past dynasties. However, if you want to see the architecture of the Song Dynasty, you may be disappointed. Except the Shijing, some cornerstone walls and the shadow of the Song Dynasty, others are the products of future generations' maintenance. According to the data of Xu Fu in Song Dynasty, the main elements of modern houses and wood structures were restored. If you don't mind this, I mainly want to see the specifications of the aristocratic mansion in Song Dynasty, so I can consider it. Xu Fu's cultural relics and exhibitions are few, and most of the rooms are empty, which may not be particularly interesting.
A firewall is built on the external wall to prevent fire and theft. Most buildings are in the style of single eaves and hard roofs. There are also fewer decorations and carvings on the eaves, which are relatively simple and simple.
4. Chaozhou Taifo Palace
Taifo Palace is the first Thai Buddhist Brahma in Chinese mainland. The surrounding landscape and environment are good. Occasionally, you can see many group tourists coming here to worship Buddha. However, except for the main hall, all other Buddhist temples are closed. Some buildings look older and have more mosquitoes. Remember to bring some mosquito repellent. Taifo Palace, Kaiyuan Temple in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, is located on the east side of Hanjiang Bridge, opposite Huiru Park. He is the leader of overseas Chinese in Thailand. The philanthropist Huiru Xie (19 13- 1996) donated a large sum of money to build it. With the approval of the the State Council Bureau of Religious Affairs, Chaozhou Prefecture designed and built the first large-scale Buddhist Brahma in Chinese mainland, which was excavated during the Lantern Festival in 1992. On April 1 1, the opening ceremony of the bronze Buddha in Thailand was held. This is a new flower of Sino-Thai friendship, a result of Buddhist exchanges between China and foreign countries, and adds color to Chaozhou, a famous historical and cultural city. The Taifo Palace faces south, covering an area of more than 60,000 square meters and surrounded by mountains.
