Explanatory text on the ancient buildings in my hometown, the East-West Temple Tower
My hometown is Xinye Village, Daciyan. There are many ancient buildings in Xinye Village: Youxu Hall, Shuangmeitang, Tuanyun Tower, Yuquan Temple - it is an "open-air museum" of ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Tuanyun Tower is one of the landmark buildings, and I love it the most. Now let me be a little tour guide and talk about the origin and characteristics of Tuanyun Tower.
The Tuanyun Pagoda is located at the entrance of the village. It was built in the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty (February 3, 1567) and completed in the 2nd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, that is, 1575. It took more than eight years to build the tower. At that time, the tower was 38.8 meters high and 13.8 meters in circumference. Due to the lack of terrain in the southeast of the village, it was used to supplement feng shui, so Xunfang called it "Xunda".
The name of the tower is taken from Zhuangzi's "swinging straight up ninety thousand miles". Strictly speaking, in feudal society, it was not allowed for villages to build pagodas privately (pagodas could be built in places above the county or state capital). According to our current explanation, the reasons why the ancestors of Xinye Village built the tower are:
1. To supplement Feng Shui. It forms a three-legged force with Zushan-Yuhuashan and Chaoshan-Daofengshan.
2. Because the topography of the entire village entrance is in the shape of a boat, and the five hills at the entrance of the village resemble five boats, there is a saying that five boats went down the river. The tower was built to play a fixed role.
3. The cultural fortune of Xinye Village has not been good since it was moved here. The pagoda was built to cultivate Confucianism. The tower is like a big hair straight into the sky. It is reflected in the Ancestral Hall Pond and Sifang Pond. Later, Ye Yuanxi, a Jinshi, came out, so Tuanyun Pagoda is also called Wenfeng Pagoda.
4. In ancient India, the pagoda was a symbol of prosperity. There are now more than 3,000 people with the surname Ye in Xinye Village.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the sutra hall "Guanyin Hall", "Children's Hall", "Tudi Temple" and side rooms for outsiders were built next to the pagoda (it is said that in the past, people with foreign surnames were It’s not good to live in the village for a long time, no
