The origin of Tianxin Pavilion's name

Tianxin Pavilion was originally named Tianxin Pavilion, and its name came from the popular "Star Domain" theory in Ming Dynasty. According to the division of stars, "Tianxin Pavilion" is named after the "Star of Changsha" in the sky. Therefore, it was once a place where the ancients watched the stars and sacrificed to the gods. In addition, the ancient pavilion is located at the top of Long Fu Mountain in Changsha, an ancient city, and is regarded as an auspicious treasure house by the ancients. People are willing to pray here to eliminate disasters and strengthen the world. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, with the relocation of Chengnan Academy under the wall of Tianxin Pavilion, Tianxin Pavilion was once used as a cultural sacrifice place corresponding to Chengnan Academy. Two statues of Emperor Wenchang and Kuixing are enshrined in the pavilion, which ensures the prosperity of Changsha literature. In the old days, people came to worship in an endless stream, and literati often went to the pavilion to look out and compose poems. A poem by Huang, a great scholar in the Qing Dynasty, "Clouds are everywhere, and thousands of fireworks are always concerned" has become a swan song throughout the ages, while Li Dongyang's poem "The land and water are boats, but the boats can't move; The wonderful couplets of "Heavenly Heart Gege Pigeons, Pigeons Flying Gefei" are still widely celebrated today. Your Excellency's Tianxin ancient city wall was built by Wu Rui, the king of Changsha in the fifth year of the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC), with a history of more than 2,200 years. In the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1372), Changsha Defense Minister ordered Qiu Guang to repair and reinforce it. Its length is 8.5 kilometers, long from north to south and narrow from east to west. * * There are nine gates, which greatly enhances the defensive ability of Changsha City. Later 1924, the former national government built a ring road, leaving only Tianxin Pavilion. It is 25 1 m long and13.4m high, and stored in the south and north cities. It is extremely rare in the existing examples of ancient city fortifications in China, and it is of great value to study the defense of ancient military cities. It is one of the few cultural carriers and historical sites in the ancient city of Changsha.
