The bronze drum surface 165 cm, 67.5 cm high and weighing more than 300 kg, is the highest in the world. There are 8 sun stripes in the center of the drum surface, 4 halo rings outside the halo, which are wide and sparse, and 14 halo rings in the drum body, which are narrow and dense.
This bronze drum was unearthed in Shuichong Temple, Liu Jing Town, Beiliu City, Guangxi in 1950. After the first national symposium on bronze drums in 1980 and the third symposium on ancient bronze drums and bronze culture in South China and Southeast Asia in 1996, it was determined that the bronze drums unearthed all over the world were "the king of bronze drums in the world". Now it is in Guangxi Museum.
The excavation of King of Bronze Drum has a legendary experience. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a farmer in Shike Township, Beiliu. He went up the mountain to cut firewood and grass, and tried his best to stab the pole to the ground, but he heard a strange noise in the soil, and the pole could no longer be stabbed. Then, when the dirt was removed, a huge bronze drum suddenly appeared. The villagers thought it was an artifact, so they planned to take it to the nearby Liu Jing Temple to worship it. Unexpectedly, when I was carried to Shuichong Temple, the rope suddenly broke. What a surprise! Finally, I went to buddhist nun to see the Bodhisattva and decided to stay in Shuichong buddhist nun.
Every winter, villagers from all over the country hold drums in Shuichong Temple to pray for God, knock on bronze drums, and the sound of mountains resounds through the sky. Villagers gather here from all directions to worship God. Located in Lingdong Village, Zhengping Town, it is a large group of porcelain kilns in Song Dynasty. Kiln sites are mainly distributed in Weitouling, Longshan Temple Ridge, Butou Ridge, Fendi Ridge and Dahe Fochong around Lingdong Wei. The kiln site is large in scale and distinct in layers. Many relics, such as saggers and porcelain tiles, are exposed on the ground and accumulated obliquely from the first floor of the ridge foot to the ridge.
The products are mainly shadow blue printed bowls and plates, with exquisite utensils and high firing technology. The sintered porcelain tire is delicate and white, crystal clear, thin and transparent, which can be described as "white as jade, as thin as paper, as loud as a chime, as bright as a mirror". Kiln sites are large in scale, widely distributed, high in firing technology and rich in remains, which are precious materials for studying the production history of ancient porcelain. He Shouqing, Heting, Zheng Ping. 1888 (14th year of Guangxu reign), Liuli Academy was founded. At the initiative of Mr. Ting He, comrades in the village set up an academy. He went through some twists and turns in choosing the location of the college. In addition to raising money to donate food, I finally presented my own geomantic treasure. The base of the academy is Hejia Steaming Field. Liuli College was founded by Mr. Ting He, and then started the road of running a school for a hundred years under the initiative and care of He Jia.
Liuli College was renamed Beiliu Junior High School, Beiliu Zheng Ping Senior High School, until today's Beiliu No.2 Middle School.
Liuli Academy is located in Cangtian Village, Zhengping Town. The main rivers of Beiliu River and Cangtian Village meet and circulate in front of the Academy. The academy is surrounded by water on three sides, with three seats in the east and three pillows in the back. In front of the door, it looked at the Bijiafeng-Shi Yufeng. According to legend, this is a "rhinoceros" land. There is a towering "bullwhip" at the back of the academy-Wenlita (demolished), and there is an oasis of water plants on the left side of the academy, which nourishes the legendary rhinoceros. Liuli Academy is built on this beautiful land of geomantic omen.
Before the construction of Liuli Academy, more than a dozen gentlemen came to set an auspicious day for the Academy. Later, a middle-aged man passing by crossed out the list of these gentlemen and refused. The organizer of the college thinks this man is an expert in choosing dates. After many twists and turns, he finally let this gentleman set an auspicious day that was unanimously recognized by all gentlemen. Before the college was completed, a mud master fell to his death. The villagers thought it was unlucky, so they carried the coffin of the deceased out of the back of the academy.
After the completion of the academy, the gentleman came to inquire about the situation and said with a sigh, "if only the coffin came out of the main entrance." What a pity! " Later, the academy believed in the legend of being an official through the back door and followed the tradition of leaving school after graduation or taking the back door of scientific research to seek officials and wealth. These two legends have always been the imprint of the alumni of No.2 Middle School. Located in Baima Town, more than 60 kilometers away from Beiliu City, it was founded in the ninth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty.
(1883), initiated by Xie Jingsheng, Li Rencheng and Liang Guangguan of Yixian County. The whole academy is a three-in-one quadrangle building with Lingnan characteristics. There are three quadrangles. The first one has seven bays, left and right corridors, and a library building with walls around it. Fuyang Academy has high architectural art, sloping roof and gorgeous roof. There are more than 30 hand-painted murals on the wall, under the eaves and at the screen door, all for understanding and learning, learning to be an official, cultivating self-cultivation and so on. The main entrance, forehead and couplets of the ancient academy are all marble carvings. The front door is engraved with the words "Fuyang Academy", and the left and right door couplets are inscribed with the words "Fuyang Zhong Shuqi, Yang Deqi Civilization", which is a rare monument couplet of Beiliu. The threshold and couplets are block letters, vigorous and simple.
Fuyang Academy is the fruit of the six remaining academies in the Qing Dynasty in Beiliu City, Guangxi, and is a key cultural relic protection unit at the county level.
