What is the cultural connotation of Jiang Xinyu?

"Clouds and the sun look at each other, and the empty water is * * * fresh", which is a famous sentence sung by Xie Lingyun, a great poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, for Jiang Xinyu in Wenzhou. In fact, it is a sublimation of space environment art, and its premise is the shaping of mountain city space. Jiang Xinyu is located on the banks of the Oujiang River in the north of the city, and is known as "Penglai of Oujiang River". The famous landscape poet Xie Lingyun once wrote, "Turbulence tends to be positive, and the island is charming in the middle of the river; Clouds and moons set each other off, and the water is clear. On the East-West Mountain in Jiang Xinyu, there is an ancient pagoda with a balance between east and west, with Jiangxin Temple, one of the "Seven Temples of Zen Forest in Song Dynasty" in the middle. Jiang Xinyu has beautiful scenery and many historical sites. This is the condensation point of Wenzhou's physical geography, history and culture, and it is the symbol of Wenzhou.

Located in Songtaishan, Wenzhou City, Jingguang Tower not only adds rich historical connotation and cultural charm to Wenzhou, but also has extraordinary influence throughout the country. This year, CCTV-4 has broadcast the Net Light Tower twice. As a landmark building in Wenzhou, it has gradually taken root in people's hearts. Tracing back to the history of Jingguang Pagoda, it was originally named after a Zen master named Yongjia Xuanjue in Wenzhou during the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Master Xuanjue himself was born in Yongjia, Wenzhou in the second year of Linde, Tang Gaozong (AD 665). He became a monk at the age of four and was proficient in economics. He is the author of Song of Truth and Yongjia Collection. He practiced in Songtai Mountain. After his death, later generations built a tower here to worship the remains of the master's real ashes. Tang Xizong named the tower "Lighthouse". It has been rebuilt many times in history, and it was destroyed here during Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the Jingguang Pagoda, Wenzhou originally had four ancient pagodas, among which the East Pagoda in the town has nowhere to be tested. Now there are only four pagodas left, namely, the East Pagoda and West Pagoda in Jiangxin, the Wild Goose Pagoda in Xunshan and the Jingguang Pagoda in Songtai Mountain. In ancient times, the design of pagodas was arranged in strict accordance with the feng shui pattern and had its unique cultural connotation.

The existing ancient pagodas in Wenzhou are oriented in three directions and four pagodas, and the pagodas correspond to each other, and the pagodas are connected by sides. Based on the ancient eight-sided clean light tower. The West Tower of Jiang Xinyu East Tower is parallel to the east and west sides of the Net Light Tower, the southwest and northeast sides of the West Tower are parallel to the northeast and southwest sides of the Net Light Tower, and the northwest and southeast sides of the Mountain-seeking Wild Goose Pagoda are parallel to the southeast and northwest sides of the Net Light Tower. In the excavation of Jingguang Tower, we can see that the gate of the tower faces south by east, and the opening direction of each tower depends on the purpose of the tower's construction. For example, the East West Tower is in the middle of the river, and each tower has only one door facing west, and the financial resources of Oujiang River flow from west to east. According to the ancient design concept, in order to prevent the outflow of financial resources, Wenzhou has specially set up the west gate of Tianmen, and local residents have to close the two towers of Zhenshui (Cai Zhen) that are not open to the east.

At the same time, according to Lin, the technical consultant of ancient architecture of South Zhejiang Supervision Company, four ancient pagodas in Wenzhou constitute the central axis of the ancient city. Roughly speaking, the floating pavilion in Guogong Mountain, the landscape tower in Songtai Mountain, the seamen's club in Haitan Mountain and Liu Yunting in Jigu Mountain are connected by lines, which have become the word "mouth" in Chinese characters. Then, the Jiangxin Temple in Jiang Xinyu and the Wild Goose Pagoda on Xunji Mountain are connected in a straight line, passing through the word "Kou", which is becoming a very formal word "Zhong" on the central axis of Wenzhou ancient city. Moreover, the central axis of the ancient city of Wenzhou is arranged according to the ancient feng shui pattern. On the other hand, the gate of Jiangxin Temple between the two pagodas in Jiang Xindao and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda at the top of Xunshan Mountain in southeastern Jilin Province form a straight line, which is located above the former Wenzhou Municipal Government. It is said that the central axis of Wenzhou ancient city is the most important vein of Wenzhou ancient city, which contains profound cultural connotation.

Since the reconstruction of Songtai Mountain View Light Tower in 200 1, new discoveries have been made one after another, including the ashes of Master Yongjia, beautifully-shaped tower bricks, nail caps with considerable specifications that have been lost, layered colored soil, and its axis, doorway, plane and three-dimensional modeling, all of which have unique cultural connotations.

When the reporter looked up at the net light tower at the foot of Songtai Mountain, he saw the pagoda towering into the sky, which set off the net light tower vividly and was full of generous and vigorous temperament in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. According to the relevant administrative departments of Jingguang Tower, many domestic and foreign delegations called through travel agencies to ask when Jingguang Tower will be completed. At that time, they will form a delegation to travel, visit and worship the Jingguang Tower. At the same time, compatriots from Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong and other regions will also come to the mountain for consultation. Some foreigners from the Netherlands, Italy and other places, after visiting the net light tower in Songtaishan Square, gave their thumbs up and said "good, good" again and again, full of praise.

Now Jingguang Tower has stood on the top of Songtai Mountain in Wenzhou, becoming a beautiful cultural landscape in Wenzhou. Its completion will become a landmark building in Wenzhou. We should cherish this humanistic history of Jingguang Building in order to better carry forward our humanistic history and culture. This is of long-term historical significance for Wenzhou to become a real cultural city and enhance its cultural connotation.

Songtaishan turned out to be a toad.

If you overlook Songtai Mountain from the air and carefully observe its shape, you will find that it looks like an extended toad. From the topographical point of view, this is tantamount to wonderful workmanship, natural, without any artificial traces; From a cultural point of view, toad is facing the Wild Goose Pagoda in Xunshan, which has a certain humanistic color.
