Zhenwuge is a wooden structure with exquisite layout, exquisite workmanship and unique style, which shows the ancient civilization of China. Today, I will introduce you to the magnificent wonders of Zhenwu Pavilion!

There is a legend in Zhenwuge ... In ancient times, people were superstitious and lived in dry places. If they are not careful, they will cause a fire and cause serious losses. Because of repeated fires, they began to suspect that Vulcan in the sky could not pass them. So they built Zhenwu Pavilion for disaster relief ... Zhenwu Pavilion was built in this way and has been preserved in Rongxian County ever since.

Zhenwu Pavilion was built in the first year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (i.e. 1573). There is a stone platform under the attic, which is called "Ancient Classics Platform". The floor of the attic is rectangular, three stories high. Zhenwuge is not only the surrounding ornamental object, but also the best choice for people to travel.

If you climb the attic and overlook it, you can have a panoramic view of the whole city, and you can also see the scenery of Duqiao Mountain and Jiangxiu River in the southeast, which is really a feeling of "entering the ground".

The second and third floors of Zhenwuge are much smaller than the ground floor (the first floor), with far-reaching triple eaves, particularly low floors, faster than the eaves of ordinary attics, and strong sense of rhythm and momentum, which makes it look like a grand single-story building with triple eaves in people's eyes. However, it is smaller and more stable than the general double-eaved buildings.
