Kaifeng. Red walls and blue tiles, double eaves and distant mountains, iron towers pointing to the sky, and historic sites like forests. The heroism and cultural charm of "unifying the world" are like spires, rooted in the earth and bathed in the sky. Such as inscriptions, or vigorous and beautiful, or mottled and blurred. Kaifeng can make me worship and open my heart forever. It is the kind of spiritual home where you come here to experience how much sadness you can have when you are a little tired in a complicated world, just like a river flowing eastward. Looking at the surging river on the banks of the Yellow River, you will have a different understanding of China's history and culture than books, and you will also experience the spiritual source of more nationalities in the source, hometown and barren land where the Chinese nation thrives. When the sun sets, you can savor the feeling of "the west wind withered the green trees last night, standing alone on a tall building, looking at the horizon", and the belonging and recognition of that kind of soul will make you feel infinite affection here. Rushing to open Kaifeng, endless fatigue, endless excitement. In the evening, I'd better go for a walk in Tower Park to see the long-awaited night view of Kaifeng and the world-famous tower. Kaifeng Tower is a dazzling pearl in Central Plains culture. It stands like a jade pillar in the northeast corner of Kaifeng City. It is famous at home and abroad for its exquisite architectural art and majestic posture. The Iron Tower Park was designated as a national key cultural relic protection unit by the State Council in 196 1, covering an area of 5 1.24 hectares, including 9.62 hectares of water surface. There are "bonsai garden" and "the first tower in the world" stone tablets in turn in the park; "Elysium" archway; Quiet and elegant "Jingyuan"; The majestic "Jieyin Temple"; National key protected cultural relics "iron tower"; And the "tower transmutation art palace" built to let tourists better understand the history of the tower; There is also a "bamboo garden"; "Plum Garden", "Banquet Garden" and other small-scale buildings. The pavilions in each garden are magnificent, with thousands of flowers and trees, welcoming tourists from all directions with a smile. The tower, formerly known as the Kaibao Temple Tower, was built in the Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1049) and has a history of 900 years. Yu 196 1 was designated as a "national key protected cultural relic" by the State Council. It is famous for its outstanding architectural art at home and abroad, and completely adopts the traditional wooden structure of China. The 55.88-meter-high tower is covered with colored glazed tiles, which are decorated with dozens of vivid patterns such as flying sky, unicorn and geisha music. The tower was built more than 900 years ago, and it still stands tall after wars, floods, earthquakes and other disasters. It has the reputation of "the first tower in the world". Kaifeng Tower is famous for its outstanding architectural art. Because its appearance is all inlaid with brown glazed tiles, it looks like iron from a distance, and it is as strong as iron casting, so it has been called "iron tower" by the people since the Yuan Dynasty. According to historical records, the tower was formerly a wooden tower, which was built by Yu Hao, a famous architect in the Northern Song Dynasty in China, to worship the Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha relic. It is said that after eight years of conceptual design and construction, he finally built the stupa in 989 AD. The newly-built tower leans to the northwest. Yu Hao was asked why. He said that there are no mountains in Beijing, but there is a north wind in the west. Not far from here, there is a big river. In less than a hundred years, the tower will naturally stand upright under the action of wind and river erosion, and it is predicted that the tower will exist for 700 years and will not collapse. Moreover, during the construction, curtains were installed around the tower on every floor in Yu Hao, which not only avoided the construction injury, but also facilitated the operation. Unfortunately, this wooden tower was destroyed by thunder fire in the summer of Song Renzong four years 1044, and it only existed for more than 50 years. In the first year of Emperor Yangdi, Song Renzong ordered that the iron glass pagoda we see today be built on Yishan Mountain not far from here, imitating the wooden pagoda. The thick tower core column is the core part to support the tower wall and resist external forces. Exterior wall brick components with different uses are closely connected with the core cultivation column through the climbing tunnel, which is extremely strong and has strong earthquake resistance. Over the past 900 years, the tower has experienced earthquakes, storms and floods, especially in May 1938, when the Japanese bombed the tower with artillery, the cornices and tower walls at all levels from the fourth floor to the thirteenth floor in the north were damaged to varying degrees, but they still stood. Today, when we appreciate the magnificence of the iron tower, we appreciate the diligence and wisdom of the ancient working people. The tower is not made of iron, but it is better than iron. For thousands of years, although it has experienced storms, it stands proudly between heaven and earth. It was not destroyed by lightning, flood or wind, but it was not destroyed by earthquake and war. This is a miracle in the history of architecture and the crystallization of human wisdom. Kaifeng, a little-known city, one of the six ancient capitals of China, was called Song Capital and Tokyo in ancient times, and was called "the city of ten dynasties". Her heyday should be the Northern Song Dynasty, when the population exceeded one million, and its prosperity was supported by the world-famous Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. For thousands of years, the Yellow River water has nourished this land and destroyed it. Every time the Yellow River burst its banks, it flooded the ancient city with sediment, and unyielding people built a new city on top of the old city, forming a strange pattern of "piling up cities". Archaeological findings show that the wall of Jindian is under the wall of Xiao in Zhougong, and the wall of Bianzhou in Tang Dynasty is under the wall of Song Dynasty. So many historical sites in Kaifeng are buried deep underground, and many ground buildings are copied and imitated. The iron tower is one of the few primitive cultural relics. According to historical records, the predecessor of the iron tower is a wooden tower, octagonal, 13 stories high, as high as 120 meters, only this height can be imagined! At that time, this tower was built in Kaibao Temple of Fu Sheng Hospital, hence the name "Fusheng Tower". Most ancient pagodas are related to Buddhism, and "Fusheng Pagoda" is no exception. At that time, there were thousands of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on this tower, which were dedicated to Asoka Buddha relic. When the wooden tower was just formed, it tilted to the northwest, and the degree of tilt was so great that the world did not understand it and thought it was a construction mistake. Yu Hao, a master designer, said that the capital is flat and there are no mountains, but the north wind is more than the west wind, and the tower will be straight in less than a hundred years. Unfortunately, the wooden pagoda was built in 982 AD, and it was not destroyed by lightning until 1055 (some data also say 1047). From construction to destruction, it took less than a hundred years to verify the "skill" of the northwest wind, but it left a mystery to future generations: why was the pagoda dedicated to bodhisattvas destroyed by bodhisattvas? It can be seen that buddhas and bodhisattvas, as well as pagodas dedicated to them, are all man-made and wishful thinking. Lightning denies this account, and whoever violates its will will be beaten. Today, it seems that a lightning rod is better than burning a thousand incense! As the saying goes, the old don't go, the new don't come. When the wooden tower was destroyed, people built the iron tower. Of course, the material of this tower is not cast iron in the true sense, but iron glazed tiles. Building a tower with a height of more than 50 meters with bricks is a major event in design. The power core of the supporting tower is the tower core column, and various external wall brick components are closely connected with the tower core column to form a powerful seismic system, which is an amazing scientific design more than 900 years ago. There are dozens of decorative bricks embedded outside the tower, including flying sky, unicorn, sitting Buddha, bodhisattva, lion, geisha and flowers. There is a gourd-shaped copper bead embedded in the top, which looks like a monk wearing a solemn monk's hat from a distance. The window design of the tower is also unique. There are two kinds of windows and blinds. Each floor has an open window, one in the north, the second in the south, the third in the west, the fourth in the east, and so on until the highest floor. The so-called blind window is actually a window mold that can't be opened. At that time, this tower was an important scenic spot in Bianjing, and it was called "the tower goes through the clouds". Looking at the tower, the Yellow River is like a belt, and the earth is like a brocade. But now it seems that a building more than 50 meters high is not high. There is also a legend that there is a spring eye under the tower, which is connected with the sea and is called the sea eye. If seawater is ejected from this eye, it will flood Kaifeng. Therefore, the tower was built above the sea eye to prevent flooding. Associated with the tower leaning to the northwest and facing the wind, the tower foundation is seaworthy and waterproof, which shows that this tower is still a "Feng Shui" pagoda in Kaifeng! However, the quality of feng shui does not depend on the location. Although there is "the first tower in the world" guarding Kaifeng, Kaifeng still has to go through disaster. Sometimes, man-made disasters are more terrible than natural disasters. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng, but the patrol of the Ming Dynasty actually opened the Yellow River levee in an attempt to drown the rebels. As a result, Kaifeng city was flooded into ruins. Including the base of the iron tower, also sank into the sediment washed by the Yellow River. Today, the Yellow River is hanging ten meters above the ground in Kaifeng, and Kaifeng people dare not take it lightly at all times. Many landmark buildings are equivalent to flood warning signs. For example, the Iron Tower Park is criss-crossed with ditches, which makes people feel that there is a fairly complete drainage system here. The more obvious sign is that there is a plaque in the south of Taki, which reads "the tallest tower in the world". This plaque is very strange, the shape is held by an anchovy, or the stone is completely blocked in its mouth. This is reminiscent of the statement of Zhenhai Eye of the Tower, which shows how strong the flood control awareness of Kaifeng people is! Kaifeng, Daliang, Bianliang, Bianzhou, Tokyo, Du Dong, Kaifengfu, these once glorious cities in history, have been mercilessly submerged by the sediment of the Yellow River. According to recent archaeological excavations, at least seven ancient cities since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have been buried under Kaifeng City, which is only 7 kilometers away from the Yellow River. The floods of the Yellow River have repeatedly devastated the ancient city of Kaifeng. After the flood, sediment silted up, so people piled up their bedsteads in the original place and rebuilt their homes. This series of ancient cities, buried in the depths of sediment, are stacked together like "stacked arhats". Experts say that the history of dynasty change is accumulated in Kaifeng underground, and every time you dig down a layer, history will go backwards for hundreds of years. Kaifeng has a long history. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Zhuanggong built a city in the south of Kaifeng, and named it Kaifeng, in order to open its border. During the Warring States period, it was the capital of Wei State, called Daliang. The Northern Zhou Dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties was called Bianzhou. Kaifengfu was in the Five Dynasties, and later Jin was changed to Kaifengfu in Tokyo. The later Han Dynasty, the later Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty and Jindu all established their capitals here. The Yuan Dynasty was the capital of the capital city of Bianliang, and the Ming and Qing Dynasties were Kaifeng. According to statistics, the average sediment concentration per cubic meter of the "suspended river" Yellow River is as high as 35 kilograms. According to the annual average of 19 19 to 1954 hydrological series, the average sediment discharged into the Yellow River for many years reaches160,000 tons, and the downstream riverbed deposits 400 million tons annually, with the annual average elevation of riverbed 10 cm. At present, the riverbed in Kaifeng section of the Yellow River is13m higher than Kaifeng Tower. "An Lan of the Yellow River, An Lan for the people" is an inscription on a monument erected at the source of the Yellow River. Now, with the completion of Xiaolangdi Project, the Yellow River has finally arrived in An Lan, and Kaifeng will never be destroyed again. Kaifeng people are no longer afraid of the river hanging overhead, and bid farewell to the fear of nearly a thousand years. "A pillar of the way, dark work with the sun. ..... Yan Wen presses the sky, and the iron pen points to the sky. " This is a famous sentence of Feng Zizhen, a poet in Yuan Dynasty, praising Kaifeng Tower. What do you mean by "hanging the iron pen upside down"? What a heroic poem! What's the topic? I seem to understand. Maybe the topic is "Fine Weather" or "Four-year-old An Lan". The core of the topic is actually a kind of "wisdom" that respects heaven and earth. This "wisdom" should be consistent with the "enlightenment" of Buddhism! I stood under the iron tower, along the iron glazed brick tower, looking straight at the sky. The blue sky is like a huge and endless color note. This tower is like a huge pen, with words written on it that are invisible to the naked eye in boundless time and space. Kaifeng City in Song Dynasty has been buried about 10 meters underground, but this solitary iron tower can be regarded as the authentic adherents of Zhao and Song Dynasties. Only she has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain and witnessed thousands of years of history; Only this Millennium Tower "turns the pen upside down" and lets the world know about the Millennium Cang Sang. There is a poem to prove it: today, the Forbidden City is mighty, and the iron tower attracts the phoenix. I am not old after the disaster. Reference:
