Chapter 598 Luoyi Ancient City
After drinking the tofu soup, Zhao Cui said to Li Juan: "It's still early, why don't you find a fun place to hang out." Li Juan flipped through her phone: "Okay, I heard that a new ancient city was opened in Luoyang called Luoyang. There are many nice places in the ancient city of Yi, suitable for taking pictures, and there are no entrance fees." Zhao Cui thought that she was pregnant and her figure would inevitably be a little out of shape, so she said to Li Juan: "No, I'm not suitable for taking pictures now. ." Li Juan touched Zhao Cui's lower abdomen: "It's okay, let's do this. I was much more out of shape than you back then. Besides, wearing Hanfu can cover a lot of it."

"Luoyi" is the ancient name of Luoyang. It has been the representative of Chinese civilization from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the present. It has been the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties and is known as the "Holy City of Culture".It is a fashionable scenic spot that not only embodies the traditional cultural heritage of the ancient city of Luoyi without losing its modern flavor, but also combines the protection of cultural relics of the ancient city with the inheritance of cultural tourism.Here you can enjoy the beauty of cultural charm.

Entering the scenic spot, you first see an ancient pagoda: Wenfeng Pagoda.Wenfeng Pagoda is the tallest building in ancient Luoyang, as evidenced by a folk song: "There is a Wenfeng Pagoda in Luoyang, which is only seven or eight feet away from the sky."Wenfeng Pagoda was first built in the Song Dynasty, destroyed by Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty, and rebuilt in the early Qing Dynasty.Wenfeng Pagoda, Xintan, Henan Confucian Temple, pagodas, lakes, and temples complement each other, forming the cultural landscape of the ancient city of Luose.The first floor of the tower is dedicated to Wenchang, and the second floor is dedicated to Kuixing.Wenchang: also known as Emperor Wenchang, Wenquxing, the god of fame and fortune in Chinese mythology, and was worshiped by scholars in the old days.The pagoda is a masonry pagoda with dense eaves, square, about 30 meters high, and consists of three parts: the base, the body and the brake.The base is made of square bluestone, each side is 6.8 meters long and 3.3 meters high.Cast iron is embedded between the tower base and the tower body to maintain the firmness of the whole tower.The tower body has nine floors, and the whole body is built with blue bricks. From the first floor to the ninth floor, it shrinks layer by layer, and each side is 3 meters long.On the first to eighth floors, there is a curved arch on each side. You can look out and there are inscriptions on the doors. On the ninth floor, there are curved arches on each side. There is an original couplet on both sides. The handwriting is vaguely legible. On the right side It's -- upstairs Fengyun connects this fight, and on the left is -- Jacaranda machine Li connects with XingXiu.Wenfeng Pagoda summarizes the advantages of various brick pagoda structures since Tang and Song Dynasties.The outer wall of the tower is built with bricks, and there are wooden floors and wooden stairs in the middle of each floor, which can be spiraled up, but the wooden stairs were destroyed in the war.

On the north side of Wenfeng Pagoda, there is a clear blue pool, which is the famous Xintan Port in history.Xintan was dug during the Wu Ze period.It was a shipping hub on the Grand Canal. Xintan was very prosperous at that time and after that. According to historical records: "The traffic of water boats was endless for thousands of miles."At that time, Xintan had pleasant scenery all year round, and businessmen and tourists who came to Luoyang all stopped here. From August to November 2014, archaeological experts conducted archaeological exploration and excavations at the Luoyi site, which further confirmed the facts recorded in history.

On the east side of the inner gate of the scenic spot, a section of the ancient city wall of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties has been restored.The ruins of the ancient city of Jin and Yuan Dynasties in Luoyang are located in today's old city of LY City. The Jin Dynasty used Luoyang as the "central capital" and built a new city on the ruins of the east side of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.The city has gone through four dynasties of Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing.The city of Luoyang in the Jin Dynasty was Zhongjing, which was rebuilt on the foundation of the city built in the early Northern Song Dynasty in the early Zhengda period of the Jin Dynasty.There are four streets in the east, west, south and north of the city, where merchants gather and business is booming, which established the layout and scale of the old city of Luoyang today.Also in 2014, the Luoyang Institute of Archaeology carried out archaeological excavations in the southeast corner of the old city, and the excavated area was more than 4 square meters.The east wall and south wall of Luoyang city in Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties were excavated, and the scope and direction of the city wall of Luoyang's Jinyuan old city were basically clarified.

Not far away is Tuoling Palace, located east of Wenming Street in the southeast corner of the old city of LY City.In the 25th year of Jian'an, in the spring and first month of that year, Cao Cao went to Luoyang to recuperate. Suddenly he heard that Sun Quan had killed Guan Yu and sent an envoy to deliver Guan Yu's head!Cao Cao was shocked and built a courtyard in the arsenal into a sacrificial hall.After the sacrifice, he was buried in the southwest of Luoyang City with royal rites.The sacrificial hall was renamed Shoutinghou Temple, because Guan Yu's title was "Han Shoutinghou".Shoutinghou Temple was later called Guan Gong Temple, which is today's Tuoling Palace.Therefore, the Guan Gong Temple here should be the earliest Guan Gong Temple in history!It should be earlier than the one built by Liu Bei in Chengdu and Yuncheng (Guan Yu's hometown).

During the reign of Wu Zetian, Xintan was built to the south of the Guan Gong Temple. This was a large wharf where merchants gathered. Thanks to the favorable location and people, the Guan Gong Temple was prosperous.During the Northern Song Dynasty, Guan Yu was posthumously named King Wu'an, so Guan Gong Temple was also called the Temple of King Wu'an, and the main hall was called Wu'an Hall.In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Guan Gong Temple was destroyed in the war at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the fifth year of Jin Zhenyou (1217 AD), the Jin Dynasty established the Zhongjing Jinchang Mansion in Luoyang and built the "Bow En" Hall on the site of the Guan Gong Temple. Later, the Mongolian army burned the Bao En Hall. In the 16th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1279 AD), the Yuan Dynasty established Henan Jiangbei Province in Kaifeng, and then rebuilt the Guan Gong Temple on the original site; the temple was burned down by Li Zicheng's army in the 14th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1641 AD); in the early Qing Dynasty, Emperor Guan Three more groups of buildings were built on the old site of the temple, namely Guandi Temple, Kuiguang Pavilion and Yuandi Temple.In the 15th year of Qianlong's reign (AD 1750), Emperor Qianlong visited Luoyang in the south and worshiped Guan Gong here. He also issued an edict to build a temple of Guan Gong based on the "three groups of buildings". It was named "Tuoling Palace" and he wrote that Written plaque.

Walking in the ancient city feels like traveling through time and space.Restaurants from the Tang Dynasty and shops from the Song Dynasty. If you accidentally walk past the Ming and Qing Dynasties, you will see the old walls of the Republic of China when you look up.However, the real charm of the ancient city of Luoyi lies in the various intangible cultural heritage hidden in the ancient streets.Zhao Cui and Li Juan were walking inside, the cold wind was blowing, and it was already sunset. The two of them changed into Hanfu. The Hanfu that Zhao Cui chose did not highlight the lower abdomen, so the overall look was passable. Ma Xiaoliang took photos of the two. , try to choose scenes with fewer people, and then take a photo album, named "Luoyi Ancient City". After visiting the ancient city, it was already the lanterns, so I was ready to return to Guanzhou.
