An essay describing Wenfeng Pagoda in Fuyang
In the middle of last month (that is,1August), my second sister and I went to Fuyang to visit menstruation. My aunt's house is close to Wenfeng Tower, about 100 meters.
Look, the family building of the Bank of China is just north of the tower, where my aunt lives. Therefore, every time I go, Wenfeng Pagoda haunts my vision, and a feeling of admiration arises spontaneously.
Wenfeng Pagoda is one of the eight scenic spots in Yingzhou. It was called Fuyang in ancient times and became famous in the Northern Song Dynasty. Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi, famous literati in the Northern Song Dynasty, all served as governors in Yingzhou, leaving hundreds of poems praising Yingzhou's simple folk customs.
Wenfeng Tower is located near Yingzhou Road, the main road in the city center, and stands in the open and beautiful Wenfeng Park. In the thirty-fifth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1696), Wenfeng Pagoda was built here to revive Fuyang's literary style. The tower is a brick structure with a hollow octagon and a height of 3 1. 8 meters, the tower has seven floors, and the eaves of each floor are astringent, and there are dense eaves picked out by brick carvings of imitation wood structure. The shape is simple and solemn. Together with Kuixing Tower, it is a scenic spot in Fuyang City, and it is known as the "Twin Towers Lingyun". It was unique that the designers at that time could choose this scene. It is one of the two pagodas in Fuyang, and the other is Pengsan Pagoda, also known as Kuixing Pagoda. According to Yingzhou's records, the Feng Shui master thought that the southeast was hollow, the ground light and the ground gas were flooding, and it was difficult to produce talents, so it was necessary to build a tower town. Yi Xun said Xun Rufeng: "Xun follows the wind". Rare: "smooth sailing, foolproof." According to Confucianism, Xun is the mansion of articles, and the tower has the shape of a pen. Therefore, it is called "Wenfeng Tower".
Wenfeng Pagoda is not only related to "Wen", but also full of Taoist color. Some brick carvings of this pagoda include longevity deer, ganoderma lucidum, dragon and phoenix, carp yue longmen prayed by literati, and patterns of yin and yang fish. This provides vivid and valuable information for studying people's ideology, aesthetic psychology and Fuyang history at that time. In a word, this kind of tower belongs to the so-called Feng Shui Tower in the old society.
Wenfeng Pagoda suffered two disasters in history, one during the War of Liberation and the other during the Cultural Revolution. The first time happened in the spring of 1948. The People's Liberation Army attacked Fuyang City, and Wenfeng Pagoda became the focus of the war between the two armies. It was almost destroyed by two shells of the Kuomintang army. During the Cultural Revolution, it was almost overthrown. 1982 abutment reinforcement and maintenance, 1986, 1988 reconstruction. The last time was a large-scale maintenance in 20xx.
I haven't been to Fuyang for about four or five years. In the past, there was only one solitary tower in Wenfeng Pagoda, which was towering and nobody cared. Now Wenfeng Pagoda is no longer so lonely. The whole tower is surrounded by long corridors and pavilions, which are divided into north and south gates, adding a lot of cultural landscapes, including pavilions, rockeries and grotesque fountains, which is a good place for people to relax and entertain.
Moving to Wenfeng Tower, there are lotus flowers everywhere, and the green leaves hold pink lotus, which really has a different artistic conception. Everywhere: old people enjoying their old age are walking slowly with bodhi fans; Romantic young people, holding hands on the bluestone road, talking and laughing; Young couples, with young children, play on the cruise ship and smell the fragrance of lotus flowers; The student-like older child is reading and discussing at the edge of the Bishui River ... Look, the middle-aged man fishing leisurely over there is so focused. Suddenly, he threw the fishing rod hard, and a big carp hung in the air, which scared several tourists who were flying colorful kites for several days.
Some people say: Wenfeng Tower is a symbol and an expectation. It symbolizes Fuyang people's respect and pursuit of knowledge and culture; Expect more Fuyang people to immerse themselves in the ocean of knowledge and grow into useful talents for the country.
In fact, that is to say, Wenfeng Pagoda has an extremely lofty position in people's hearts, in Fuyang, an ancient city with "a treasure of things and a treasure of people".
-May Wenfeng Tower always maintain its majestic posture! Always stand in the hearts of Fuyang people!
