Dear tourists, hello everyone.
Pingyao, a famous historical and cultural city in my country, is about to arrive. The towering brick wall in the front right is Pingli City, one of the four relatively complete ancient cities in my country. On December 3, 1997, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee passed a resolution to include the Ancient City of Lijiang in Yunnan Province, the Ancient City of Pingyao in Shanxi Province, and Suzhou Classical Gardens in Jiangsu Province on the World Heritage List.
Now everyone can enjoy the distant view and relatively complete appearance of the ancient city. Pingyao ancient city has a long history.
According to records: During the Western Zhou Dynasty, in order to resist the invasion of northern nomads, Zhou Xuangong sent troops to conquer Sayu in the north and built Jingling City. Jingling City was built on the Jingling lining about 7 kilometers northeast of today's Pingyuan County. The word Jingling has been used as a place name to this day.
This can be said to be the beginning of the construction of Pingyao and the predecessor of the current Hugaocheng. Since then, it has a history of about 2800 years.
There is no clear record in history when the current Pingyao City was built. Around the time of Tuoba Tao, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, in order to avoid naming taboos, the original Pingtao County was changed to Pingyao County and the county seat was moved here from elsewhere.
The city should be built later. In the long history, this place has been prosperous, and it has also been destroyed by war many times.
The city wall we see now was built in 1370, the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, by heightening, thickening and adding bricks to the original earthen city wall. Although it has been repaired several times since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, But the style remains unchanged.
There are many ancient buildings preserved in Pingyao City, such as the Dacheng Hall of the Confucian Temple, Qingxu Temple, Shilou, Chenglong Temple, and the Wu Temple Stage.
Even the street houses basically retain the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Wandering on the streets, you will also see various antique courtyard gates, courtyards, exquisitely carved ancient architectural decorations, and even the stone piles for receiving horses and stones for dismounting horses in front of the door, which gives you the style of an ancient city.
Pingyao not only has a long history, but also has numerous celebrities. These are ancient celebrities such as Sun Sheng, a historian of the Jin Dynasty who dared to write straightly despite the threat of "every family copying", Sun Kang, whose "Yingxue Reading" has been passed down through the ages, and Hou Wailu, the late director of the Institute of History of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The late Hou Yiyi, deputy director of the Language Institute, Wang Yao, the president of the Chinese Literature Research Association, the famous painter Li Gou, the famous singer Guo Lanying, etc. were all born in this ancient land.
Pingshi Ancient City deserves to be a famous historical and cultural city. (Crossing Huiji Bridge) We are now driving on Huiji Bridge. Huiji Bridge is a nine-arch stone bridge that was built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and rebuilt during the Tongzhi period.
Mr. Fu Shan, a famous figure in the Qing Dynasty, once wrote an inscription for it. The bridge is not large in scale and has a long history, but it has a beautiful shape. The bridge deck is flat and does not have high bulges like ordinary stone bridges, making it easier for carriages and horses to walk.
And there is another strange thing, that is, there is a bridge under this bridge. There is no written record of the bridge below, and people didn't know it.
In August 1977, a heavy rain caused a severe flood. The rolling floods carried away a lot of river sand that had been silted for many years. After the water receded, people were surprised to find that the Huiji Bridge was stacked on the old bridge, forming a spectacle of a bridge on a bridge.
Using the old bridge as a solid foundation for the new bridge not only saves financial resources, manpower, but also time. What a smart idea! This is also a miracle in the history of bridge building. Pingyao Ancient City has arrived. Please follow me to visit the city wall.
(Take tourists into the "Lower East Gate") This is the "Lower East Gate" of Huyao Ancient City. Everyone, look at how majestic and spectacular this 12-meter-high city wall is.
Outside the city, there was originally a moat and a suspension bridge at the city gate. In the days of ancient wars, this was indeed an insurmountable line of defense. When we entered, this place was the Lower East Gate Urn City, which was set up to protect the city gate.
The city gate is the weak link on the city wall. With the urn, the city's defense methods are greatly enhanced. The place here is small and surrounded by high walls. Even if the enemy invades the urn city, only a few people can get in, and they will immediately be surrounded and become the turtle in the urn.
Some urn gates are not opened on the opposite side of the city gate, but on the side. This can also prevent the incoming enemy soldiers from rushing under the city gate in a fight. They can be eliminated by turning. The enemy soldiers are vigorous. These design ideas were summed up by the ancients through long-term practical experience.
Look, everyone. There is also a well-built and small courtyard in Wengcheng. What is this for? It turns out that this is a small Guandi Temple. Emperor Guan was a martial sage. The construction of the Guan Temple into the Weng City was a unique creation of Pingyao people.
Please follow me into the city and visit the city walls. Now we are on the city. There used to be a gate tower here but it was destroyed in the war.
This platform built on the city wall is said to be Yin Jifu's commanding platform. Yin Jifu was a general of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. He was famous in the history of wandering vassal states. Several poems such as "Higher" and "Guan R2" written by Lu Jingchong were written by him. The famous Northern Expedition against the northern nomadic people Olyu mentioned above was written by him. , was commanded by him.
In order to consolidate the results of the Northern Expedition, he also built Jingling City here. There are many ruins of Yin Jifu here.
There is another village near Jingling Village called Yin Village. Legend has it that it was the place where Yin Jifu stationed troops. Outside the upper east gate is Yin Jifu. In front of the memorial is a Ming Dynasty stone tablet with the characters "Zhou Qingshi ZJ Jifu Shinto" written in big words.
There is also a small temple in memory of Yin Jifu in the upper east gate. Please follow me to see the construction of the ancient city.
(Take tourists for a walk southward. Talk as you walk, and you will stop after walking about 2-3 piers.) We saw that there is a short wall on both sides of the city wall, called the parapet. Why is it called the daughter wall? What about the wall? There is a written explanation in the "Building Methods" compiled by the Song Dynasty officials: "It is said to be humble. Compared to the city, it is like a woman and her husband."
It means that the city wall is tall and thick to protect the husband; The wall is thin and short, like a weak woman.
There is a story circulating in some places among the people: In the early days, there was no parapet in the city. Once, an old man was dragged to work, and his little granddaughter, who depended on him for life, followed him to the city every day and sat beside him to watch.
One day, an extremely tired migrant worker walked to the edge of the city wall in a daze. The little girl thought that he had fallen off the wall and pushed him inward. Unexpectedly, the force was too much, and the migrant worker was saved. , the little girl fell to death. To commemorate her, craftsmen built a low wall on the city and called it the parapet.
This is a touching story, but it does illustrate the protective function of the parapet. Let's see: the parapets on both sides are different. crenels are built on the outward parapets, and small holes are left in the crenels for observation and shooting. This is of course for the needs of actual combat.
Everyone has noticed that for every free section of the city wall, there is a direction.
