This article has attracted the attention of Jiangdong local strongmen ~ We are invited to pat another existing ancient tower in Chaozhou?
/Jishui Port/
On July 11th, 217, a sunny afternoon?
We rode a calf all the way from the studio to Jiangdong Town?
cross a muddy road and come to Jixiang Temple?
The network was cancelled abnormally and uploaded again
This ancient temple is in disrepair. It was founded by Chen Yuan, the secretariat of Chaozhou in the 25th year of Tang Kaiyuan, and its style is similar to that of Kaiyuan Temple in Chaozhou?
The stone lion with historical traces in front of the door also seems to tell us about the heyday of temple incense? The abbots at that time were all Kaiyuan Temple mages? There is an endless stream of worshippers.
according to records, it was repaired 18 times, the last time in Guangxu period of Qing dynasty. In 1939, it was burnt down by Japanese invaders, and the temple experienced vicissitudes?
it has been shelved since the foundation stone was laid in 1995?
Jixiang Temple is commonly known as Jishui Temple. Behind it is the Sanyuan Tower, also known as Jishui Tower, which we are going to visit?
The place where I take the ferry here is called Jishui Ferry? The village on the east coast is called Jishui Village?
Because Carp Mountain and Maotou Mountain in Jiangdong Town are facing each other across the river, the water surface between them is open? However, when it flows through Liyu Mountain, the river narrows and turns, and the water becomes turbulent, so it is commonly known as "urgent water"
Everything here is related to "urgent water", so this area is called the urgent water port. The ferry drifted when it landed, and the diving became floating on the water?
what's even more worrying is that a 7.8 magnitude earthquake occurred in Nan 'ao Island in 1918? Spread to the Chaoshan plain, the tower body of Sanyuan Tower was shattered, more than five floors were collapsed, and the pig iron gourd weighing more than 3, kilograms at the top of the tower was thrown into the river < P > Although it was very sad? But because? We are in a hurry ~? A stranger in a strange place, just because the villagers showed us a road full of weeds and said meaningfully that the road was blocked ~ the first expedition came to an abrupt end ... I didn't know that there was a path leading to the Sanyuan Tower along this corridor until I came for the second time last month!
/Sanyuan Tower/
Doorway couplets? Between the lines, all reveal the grandeur of righteousness?
Xiabiao is inserted into the 3,-square boundary of Han Dynasty
When we step into the Sanyuan Tower, the other foot wants to go out? ♀?
The paint in Tanewu is dark, the dust is elegant, and a chill comes straight? Legends about the Phoenix Tower and the Sanyuan Tower, such as broken geomantic omen and haunted buildings, will inevitably come to mind ~ Afraid?
goodbye, we're going back ~!
the second expedition Over
this article ends
The End~
the whole drama ends
it's a pity that our professionalism oppresses us? Go up bravely! ? Find out!
the tower is hollow with spiral stone steps to climb ~ to the second floor? The depressed heart finally has a feeling of being suddenly enlightened
Standing in the middle of the tower ventricle, it is windy in all directions in Xu Lai, and the view is excellent, and you can see the Chaozhou Bridge? However, the surrounding walls are in rags, and they are also occupied by all kinds of graffiti such as "XX I love you ~"?
seeing the high-speed rail whizzing by through the jagged tower windows has a unique flavor? Looking up at the algae well? By the way, the caisson is a unique decorative part of the indoor ceiling in traditional buildings in China.
It can be seen that the stone carving pattern is made up of three granite slabs? The second layer is eight diagrams?
? The third floor is the treasure map of Ssangyong
? The fourth floor is a picture of the rising sun with two phoenixes.
The fifth floor is a picture of the auspicious scenery with two phoenixes, but it's a bit dangerous from here ~ because you can see that a stone slab has been broken?
this is even more dangerous! ~ the stone steps are covered with falling slabs and become stone slides! ! ! Need to help bricks on both sides to get to the top?
? The sixth floor is a picture of the Jade Rabbit hanging a tree, which is in danger of falling down at any time.
The stone slab that was broken by the earthquake fell on the ground directly below it and has remained to this day. Legend has it that the last floor is a stone carving of Xiangrui with a deer's ganoderma lucidum, which can't be verified because the whole floor was knocked down by the earthquake? ♀?
is this director Liu of our ancient pagoda expedition? These bare stone steps under his feet lead to the seventh floor, which is the last stone ladder that reaches the sky. If you are not careful, you may fly down! ! !
but since it's an adventure, we'd better be secretly led to the top of the tower ~ take a photo and leave a message? hoho~。
the wind at the top of the tower is so strong that people can feel the tower shaking? Especially from the seventh floor to the sixth floor, every step is thrilling, and those remaining stone steps are rickety and in danger of collapse at any time?
let's just take a beautiful photo under the tower. At sunset, the light is the best. Ordinary bricks will be baked into gold bricks! Beautiful bears are all photographed as Minions ~? It's really beautiful ~
/The legendary color of the tower/
From the mouth of the older generation, I learned another legend, "Sanyuan Tower and Phoenix Tower were built because of quarrelling between two craftsmen" (this story is also a bit bloody? If you want to know, you can go to Baidu)
However, according to the Records of Jiangdong Town, the Sanyuan Pagoda was ordered to be built by Lin Xichun, the left assistant minister of the household department who returned to his hometown in the Ming Dynasty. It was built in 165 and completed in 167. The Phoenix Pagoda was built by Guo Zizhang, the magistrate of Chaozhou in the Ming Dynasty. It was built in 1585 with an interval of 2 years, so the legend was cracked? It was not built by a craftsman's grudge.
when Lin Xichun returned to his hometown, he heard that the nasty water port was dangerous, and he urged to build a tower on Liyu Mountain. First, it is used to suppress evil spirits and stop water, second, it is convenient for pilotage, and third, it has the effect of gathering gas and promoting culture.
the sanyuan pagoda is named after the Taoist theory of primordial energy, which describes that "after chaos is divided, there are three elements of heaven, earth and water, which generates human relations and sustains everything". It also has the meaning of winning the first place, meeting the yuan and solving the yuan, and it also has the meaning of praising the prosperous academic style and talents of Chaojun County.
So the source of Chaozhou Ternary Tower is full of positive energy?

and look back at the first photo of Chaozhou in history. It was the heroic Sanyuan Tower of that year, with a height of 51 meters and an octagonal pavilion-style masonry tower. From the architectural design, Sanyuan Tower is more innovative than Phoenix Tower. It also confirms that the couplet at the entrance of the tower is radiant, straight into the star Han, and blocks the Korean water. All of them have the spirit of anchoring the sea and guarding one side.
Although a corner of the Sanyuan Tower is missing now, the beautiful scenery of this Ming Dynasty cultural relic still carries its beautiful meaning, guarding one side of the water and soil.
for details of the tower, please look forward to the next article ~
