Architecture 100 word essay
My hometown is Xinye Village, Daciyan. There are many ancient buildings in Xinye Village: Orderly Hall, Shuangmei Hall, Cumulus Tower and yuquan temple, which are the "open-air museums" of ancient buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Jinyun Building is one of the landmark buildings, and I love it most. I'll be a little tour guide and talk about the origin and characteristics of Jinyun Building. Located at the entrance of the village, Yun Qi Tower was built in Qin Long of Ming Dynasty (1567 February 3rd) and completed in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty (1575). Due to the poor terrain in the southeast of the village, it took more than eight years to build this pagoda, with a height of 38.8 meters and a circumference of 13.8 meters. The tower is named after Zhuangzi, the "soaring nine Wan Li". Strictly speaking, in feudal society, it is not good for villages to build towers privately (towers can be built in counties or above the state capital). According to our present explanation, the reason why the ancestors of Xinye Village built the tower is: 1, which supplements the geomantic omen. It forms a tripartite confrontation with Zushan-Yuhua Mountain and Chaoshan-Feng Dao. 2. Because the terrain of the whole village entrance is boat-shaped, the five hills at the village entrance are like five boats, so there are five boats going down the river. The tower is built to play a fixed role. 3. The literary movement in Xinye Village has been bad since it moved. This tower was built to cultivate the Confucian style. The tower rises into the sky like a big brush. Reflected in the ancestral temple and the square pond, and later Jinshi Ye Yuanxi, so Yun Qi Tower is also called Wenfeng Tower. In ancient India, the pagoda was a symbol of people's wealth. Now Xinye Village has a population of more than 3,000. In the early years of Ming Dynasty, in addition to the tower, Kannonji, descendants' hall, land ancestral hall and side houses for outsiders were built (it is said that it was not good for people with foreign surnames to live in the village for a long time, otherwise it would break the feng shui). The east of the tower is Lion Mountain and the west is Elephant Trunk Mountain, forming the layout of the village entrance where lions lock water. In the past, there was a cypress forest next to the tower, which was cut down in the 1970s and the ancestral hall was changed into fertile land. 1In the autumn of 989, Professor Chen Zhihua, member of UNESCO and director of Tsinghua University Institute of Ancient Architecture, led graduate students to visit the ancient houses in Xinye Village. He said, "The modular building at the entrance of Xinye Village is the landmark building of the ancient village. Although it was not built in the same period, it embodies China's farming and reading culture and achieves harmony and unity. It is a must for ancient architecture in China. " 1994 Professor Chen's local series Xinye Village was published in Taiwan Province Province. The ancient buildings in my hometown Xinye Village have a long history. You must come!
