Here, the representative buildings Yao Temple and Huamen, as well as Yao Song, a large-scale festival performance with rich connotations, are emphatically introduced.
Yao Temple is a ancestral temple with profound historical and cultural background and a history of 5,000 years of civilization, commonly known as Sansheng Temple. It is a temple dedicated to the ancestors of Yao, Shun and Yu. Including the Wufeng Pagoda and Guang Yun Hall.
When I entered Yao Temple, the first thing I saw was the beautiful Five Peaks Pagoda. It was built in the dry sealing period of the Tang Dynasty, with a history of 1300 years. Building height19.3m, three floors 12 eaves. There are three brick kiln gallery holes at the bottom of the building, and thirteen corner columns go straight to the third floor, which is very magnificent. There are more than 30 upright pottery figurines on the roof, which are medium-sized pottery lions, and the wind can move up and down, which is very beautiful.
Wufenglou, also known as Guangtian Pavilion, symbolizes the merits of Emperor Yao, making the world bright and bringing blessings to all people. People call Yao and his four ministers, who started this foundation, "Five Phoenix". The Five Phoenix Pagoda symbolizes the unity of monarch and minister and the rule of the world. After the Tang Dynasty, when the cities and temples were built, the "Five Peaks Pagoda" was erected in all previous dynasties to show that the river was clear for Haiyan, the country was prosperous and the people were safe. The three-hole brick coupon doorway on the lower floor of Wufeng Building leads directly to Guang Yun Hall. In ancient times, when offering sacrifices to Emperor Yao, the monarch stepped in from the middle, and the minister of civil and military affairs passed through the side hole.
Yundian, also called Yaodian, is the hall where Emperor Yao summoned ministers. The temple is 9 rooms wide, 5 rooms deep, 32 rooms around and 77 rooms inside and outside, with a height of 27 meters. Guang Yun Hall is called "Guang Yun Hall" because it means to match the sky and the earth. On both sides of the colorful building in front of the temple are written four characters: "The people are incompetent", which means that Emperor Yao's merits are boundless, and the people simply don't know what language to praise him. On October 6, 2003, the bronze statues of Yao and four ministers were placed in. The statue of Emperor Yao in Wei Yi Xiangci is 5 meters high, and the lifelike and unpretentious icon of Four Ministers is 4. 1 meter high. Guangyun Hall is the most magnificent hall in Yao Temple. It's really spectacular!
Huamen consists of three parts: base, main entrance and attic. It is a magnificent building with outstanding modeling momentum, which is compatible with the ancient architectural styles of various periods. Each part contains profound cultural connotations. Huamen step is a cultural landscape symbolizing the source of Chinese civilization. The 25-meter-long waterfall wall in front of the main entrance of Huamen represents the Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese nation, where Chinese civilization originated. A pair of giant hands above the pedestal platform hold a pottery basin, which embodies the idea that labor creates history. Pottery is one of the important symbols of human development from Paleolithic to Neolithic, and it is also the main instrument in Yao and Shun period. The stone carving of "holding pottery with huge hands" symbolizes the civilized status of Yao and Shun period. The 2 1 colored balls arranged from top to bottom in the middle represent the 2 1 historical dynasties of Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han after Yao and Shun, vividly showing the long historical process of China's 5,000-year civilization from Yao and Shun. The 56 yellow-brown steps represent 56 ethnic groups, which means that Chinese civilization was jointly created by all ethnic groups after 5,000 years. Du Yao is known as "the birthplace of China clocks and watches" and "the hometown of China people", enjoying the reputation of "the milestone of China's 5,000-year civilization" and the first capital of China.
? The large-scale performance "Song of Yao" reproduces the majestic image of Emperor Yao, fully demonstrates the great achievements of Emperor Yao, and perfectly interprets the immortal spirit of Emperor Yao. It is not only a classic to carry forward the culture of our ancestors, but also an impassioned song of the times.
Du Yao, the ancestor of China, has a splendid history of civilization and profound accumulation, which is worth a visit!
Attachment: Introduction of Emperor Yao
It is said that Tang Yao, one of the five emperors in ancient China, was born in Pingyang, which is now Linfen. According to legend, Yao is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor and the son of one of the five ancient emperors. After Di Ku's death, Yao became emperor, with Yao as the title and Tang as the title. Pingyang (now Linfen) is its capital. Tang Yao complied with the development of human civilization, was prudent and thrifty politically, worked out a calendar, implemented a moral policy, resisted natural disasters, founded the country and selected talents, and made outstanding achievements. In the early days of Tang Yao's administration, the astronomical calendar was still far from perfect, and people often postponed the agricultural season. Therefore, Yao organized a special person to sum up the previous experience, and asked Xihe and Hehe to be in charge of astronomy, and calculated the time according to the astronomical phenomena and natural phenology such as the movement of the sun, the moon and the stars, and determined the four seasons, with the monthly cycle as January, the solar cycle as one year and the year as 366 days. This is the earliest recorded calendar in China, which laid the foundation for the lunar calendar in China. After Yao came to power, his life was still very simple, living in a thatched cottage, drinking wild vegetable soup and wearing coarse cloth woven by kudzu vine. Always pay attention to listen to the opinions of the people and set up a "drum remonstrance" in front of the government palace. Anyone who has any comments or suggestions about him or his country can beat this drum at any time. As soon as Yao hears the drums, he will immediately put them away and listen carefully to the opinions of those who come. During Yao's reign, there was a serious flood, which swallowed up all the hills and flooded everywhere. He let Gun control the water, dredged the nine rivers and defeated the flood. Circle Kyushu. After Yao's old age, in order to find a successor, he searched everywhere, and the four mountains recommended Shun, which was called Shun's filial piety. He is still filial to his persecuted father and stepmother and lives in harmony with his neighbors. Yao and his second wife observed Shun from the inside, and let nine people look outside to examine Shun's character. He also tried his talents by "being content with hundreds of obstacles and being a guest at four doors". Finally, he was called "at the foot of the mountain", and his courage was tested by storms, tigers, wolves, insects and snakes. Shun passed one test after another, and Yao gave the throne to Shun with confidence.
