The stone archway in front of Mufu is made of white marble collected from Xiahutiao Jinsha River, with a width of 9 meters and a height of about 18 meters. Four stone pillars support the monument, rafter, eaves and square cover on the archway, and the word "loyalty" given by Ming Shenzong is engraved on the plaque.
This stone carving building with magnificent structure and exquisite carving is famous far and near. There is a folk saying that it is "the Three Pagodas Temple in Dali and the Stone Arch in Lijiang", but it was demolished in the ten-year catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution.
When Tusi Mu built his own palace-style wooden house, the orientation was not in accordance with the Central Plains geomantic theory that "sitting north facing south", but towards the sun and the east. Oriental wood, sun and wood are the worship objects in Dongba religion in Naxi, and they are also the surname given to Naxi by the emperor. Therefore, the idea of getting the spirit of "wood" makes the architecture of Mufu take the direction of sitting west and facing east.
It is said that there is no wall around the ancient city, because the wooden chieftain lives in the city. When a city is built, it means that the word "wood" is framed into a word "trapped", which is tantamount to trapping the word "wood".
Mu's toast rests on Lion Mountain, where cypress trees are planted everywhere. Today, there is still a large area of ancient cypress forest on Lion Mountain, which is one of the "Twelve Scenes of Lijiang". In addition to this ancient Berlin, a large number of cypress trees planted by local people in the 195s and 196s under the obligation of
Mufu
became increasingly flourishing, forming a lush forest.
Looking down at the Lion Mountain, the rows of residential tile houses in the ancient city show a dark blue color that blends with the world, and the vast expanse is like a huge ink painting.
