Finally see the first tower in Chengdu-Qian Qiu Tower?
For years, I begged my country to have a tower. During the summer vacation exactly forty years ago, I went to Chengdu, Sichuan to study. First, take a big boat from the headland to Ryan. In Wonderland, I vaguely saw a tower in Ruian City-the first time I saw the tower, the boatman replied that it was Longshan Tower. Because of the drought, I couldn't take a cruise to the river in Wenzhou, so I walked by car, crossed Taoshan and circled Tongling. When I arrived in Lucheng, I saw two towers on the river island, like two masts standing at the fore and aft of the ship. The same old man told me that they are towers on the temple of the river. The next day, I went to Qingtian and Lishui by bus, but I didn't go to the town. I could see the tower shadow on the top of the towering mountain. Later, I read the Fallen Leifeng Pagoda written by Lu Xun, and learned about this pagoda in Yan 'an, the revolutionary holy land, from newspapers and periodicals. Soon I returned to Zhejiang and went to see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda through Xi 'an. In Hangzhou, I visited Baokui Tower by Xizi Lake and Pagoda of Six Harmonies by Qiantang River. ?
I have a soft spot for this tower and I know its history. What is a tower? It turned out that it was the tomb of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. In Sanskrit, it is called a pagoda (picture). It originated in India, and was introduced to China in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was called Pagoda at first. At first, the tower was built in the center of the temple in our country, and later it was moved outside the temple. Its use has also been extended to burying the bones of eminent monks or placing Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were also Feng Shui pagodas dedicated to protecting one side's peace. ?
In fact, modern people have regarded the tower as a symbol of a town. Isn't it? After coming back from Wenzhou, I passed Wencheng Zhangtai by car and saw the towering Qian Qiu Tower at the top of Zhaizhai Mountain. The passengers breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ah, here we are." How can it not be gratifying that the beautiful vision of forty years ago has been realized? On the afternoon of April 7th, I specially visited the long-awaited Qian Qiu. ?
I was standing in a pear garden full of white flowers, facing the blue granite tower monument more than two meters high, and the word "Qian Qiu Tower" inscribed by Qian, the former county party secretary, came into view. The tower is hexagonal, with 7 floors and a total height of 37.8 meters, and each floor is covered with orange glazed tiles. The bottom eaves are slightly larger. There are six roofs and roofs on each floor, and there are four small creatures: rooster, dragon, lion and unicorn to show good luck. From the second floor to the sixth floor, like Pagoda of Six Harmonies, there are small copper bells hanging at the four corners. When the breeze blows, they jingle, and thirty Jason Chung composes an quaint symphony, which makes people sincerely happy. The eaves of each tower are decorated with a string of colorful kiwifruit-sized light bulbs. If the night is bright, the outline of the tower will be outlined, as bright and beautiful as a palace in a fairy tale! ?
If you look closely, each floor is supported by hexagonal concrete railings with patterns. There are three arches and three arch windows on each floor of the tower, in which Maitreya Buddha and Bodhisattva are all smiles. The doors and windows of the upper and lower floors are the same, and they are scattered from the foot of the tower to the top. At the top is a tower gate with a lightning rod, which is four or five meters high and reaches the sky. ?
If you walk up the steps and enter the bottom floor, do you know? The terrace in the tower is104.43m above sea level, with six columns *** 18. Between the three pillars, there are two timely green pillars embedded. Colored cement benches for tourists to rest. ?
From the bottom of the tower, you can spiral up the winding ladder to the second floor. Looking from the railing, it is refreshing! ?
Looking eastward, the monument to revolutionary martyrs on Guanshan Mountain faces the tower from a distance. At the foot of Fuquan Park, Shanmen Village with red bricks and blue tiles lies quietly. The east of the village goes up the ancient road, and the pale green maple ridge winds up like a green dragon, surrounded by white clouds. Look carefully, Dai Qingya's chest peeps out from the shame pavilion, looming, that is Shengjing Yan 'an. ?
Looking north, the arched Hechuan Bridge is like a rainbow on both sides of four streams, and the traffic is like a shuttle. Shayang star is covered with clusters of houses. Look further at the place where Sixi disappeared, and the Pingchou and Baizhangkuang Waterfalls in the South Tianshan Mountains will come to your mind. ?
On the west side of the tower, there are rows of buildings in the county, which extend to the ancient temple Qijia Temple, which really shows that Daxiao is a big cornucopia. The horn of the car and the motor of the machine chimed over the smoky city. The strip roads and brand-new six-or seven-story buildings along the Sixi River extend zigzag from north to south, outlining the landscape of modern towns. ?
If you are reincarnated in the south, take a look at the pear forest under the tower. There is a nun with yellow walls and blue tiles hidden in the dark green forest opposite. At the foot of the mountain, there is a highway. Motorcycles chase around like meteors, and cars come and go slowly from south to north, just like the exit of an open mountain city! ?
"Surrounded by mountains and pictures, the orchestra is playing by the stream." Liu Yaodong once wrote a couplet praising Ye 'an Village in Xikeng. Isn't this the portrayal of Daxie Town in wencheng county? ?
I went downstairs and stopped behind the pagoda. Xia Ruizhou, the county magistrate, wrote: "This tower was donated by Ms. Hu Naisun, an Italian patriotic overseas Chinese. She was originally from Huanghe Village in Dongxi. ? 1963 Go abroad. Living overseas, interested in mulberries, donated 680,000 yuan. Construction started in June 1993 and was completed in May 1995. Two years ...?
Ms. Hu Naisun, you and the tower name will live forever! ?
Parting, I went down the mountain through the fragrant pear garden again. Looking back at the Qian Qiu Pagoda and looking at its majestic momentum, we can't help reciting the wonderful sentence of Cen Can, a poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, "Climbing the Cliff with Gao Shi and Xue Zhi".
Pagoda, suddenly rising from the earth?
All the way to the palace of heaven. ?
Climbing the mountain, we seem to have left the world behind?
Go to the rock void ...
