What is a golden dragon column?
The "Golden Dragon Column" is a pillar erected on both sides of the emperor's throne, and it is called the Golden Dragon Column because of its glittering light.
Throughout the modern history of Shanghai, from the high-rise buildings on the Bund that brought Shanghai modern civilization to the four major companies on Nanjing Road, Yong 'an, Shixian, Xinxin and Daxin, all left legends and stories of geomantic omen at the beginning of construction. Building houses and tombs with geomantic omen has been circulating in China for thousands of years. Although it was restrained by breaking superstition after liberation, it did not disappear in private. Since the reform and opening up, it has intensified. After all methods have failed, the completion date is coming. After some unannounced visits, I invited a famous monk, Dade, from a famous temple in Shanghai. The monk came to the intersection of the East-West Elevated Road and the North-South Elevated Road to have a closer look, closed his eyes and folded his hands for a long time, and then said that the crux of the problem had been found and there were solutions, but if you want to make a difference, please move your mind to make way for piling. Then he sighed and said that he had let the cat out of the bag. I was afraid that he would die soon. But in order to benefit the believers in Shanghai and contribute to the construction of Shanghai, it is also the obligation of Buddhism. The people present took care of each other. Although the leaders and technical experts were hesitant, they just thanked each other again and again out of courtesy. So the monk chose an auspicious day, led a group of disciples, held a grand ceremony at the scene, and then told them to start piling at a certain moment and never came back. Strange to say, after such great efforts, the pile was successfully driven down, impartial, completely in line with the design standards, and the north-south and east-west elevated joints were seamless.
