When the Japanese come, they won't let him see
He couldn't even get in through the door just now.
Yes, it is
touch ancient civilization
Feel the new Shanxi
Hello everyone, my name is Xiaoyan
Xiao Yan is now in a
In a small village under the mountain
in this small village
has the only
One of the 4 ancient buildings of the Tang Dynasty
This village is in Shanxi
Speaking of ancient buildings
Ancient buildings on the ground in Shanxi
Should be number one in the country
And Shanxi has only 4 in the country
Relics of the Tang Dynasty
That is, these 4 buildings
They were all built in the Tang Dynasty.
and remain intact
These four ancient buildings are all in Shanxi
Well, what Xiao Yan came to today is one of them.
he is in a mountain
in a small village
Why is he hiding so deep?
And he's over 1,100 years old
So far, there are still temple guards here.
He has guarded the ancient building of the Tang Dynasty all his life.
Xiaoyan
I have shown you 3 ancient buildings of the Tang Dynasty
This is the 4th seat
This is also Xiao Yan's road to perfection
what about today
Everyone follows Xiao Yan's lens
take a look
This is one of only four Tang Dynasty buildings in China
Tiantai Nunnery
early in the last century
The Japanese have asserted
If you want to see the architecture of the Tang Dynasty, you must get the Japanese
China no longer has the Tang Dynasty
Or wooden buildings before the Tang Dynasty
When this sentence spread to the famous architect in our country
Inside Mr. Liang Sicheng's ears
he was very angry
He concluded that there must be a Tang Dynasty in China
Even the ancient wooden buildings before the Tang Dynasty
So he and his wife Lin Huiyin rode a donkey
trekking
Came to this treasure place in Shanxi
Find the ancient buildings of the Tang Dynasty
This time they fought back with action
assert China
The remarks of this scholar without the ancient architecture of the Tang Dynasty
Since then, the land of Shanxi has become more mysterious.
till this moment
4 Tang Dynasty wooden buildings found in my country
all in Shanxi
These 4 historic buildings
Although not in the same city
counties but they all have one thing in common behind them
that's behind them
have a long history
Just like the Tiantai Nunnery where we are now
He is located in Wangqu Village, Pingshun County, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province
He was founded in the fourth year of Tianyou in the late Tang Dynasty
So far he is more than 1,100 years old
He is not only in the long river of history
Standing upright for over 1,100 years
and so far
He is also a place that the Japanese are forbidden to visit
So in these 1,100 years
What has he experienced that will keep him alive for a thousand years?
And what story does he have in it?
As a result, the Japanese are now unable to visit
Because it's so remote
And it's not a tourist attraction
Therefore, there are special cultural relic guardians here.
this uncle
He has been guarding the Tiantai Nunnery all his life.
Today is also by this old man
Opened the door of Tiantai Nunnery for us
So about the story here
Strange about here
The secret here
Xiao Yan revealed it to everyone today
First time seeing Tiantai Nunnery
Many people think that Tiantai Nunnery was once a nunnery.
Because the nunnery refers to the monastery where the nuns live.
But actually before
Um refers to the thatched cottage
small temple meaning
so long ago
Tiantai Nunnery is not a nunnery
but a small temple
how small the temple used to be
We can't find out now
Because many buildings have been damaged
And now only Tiantai Nunnery remains
The main hall is the main hall in front of us
Tiantai Nunnery
It was identified as an ancient building of the Tang Dynasty in the last century.
The reason why it was recognized as an ancient building of the Tang Dynasty in the last century
It's because when the workers renovated this rooftop nunnery
Workers found a special record on the beam
On the beam is written the 4th year of Tang Tiancheng
This era happened to belong to the late Tang Dynasty
plus archaeologists
According to this architectural style and architectural features
Also the wood of the building and the age of the bricks
sure it's a
Ancient buildings from the Tang Dynasty
Then in the Tang Dynasty
Why do people build mountains and temples here
And it hasn't been drained for more than 1,100 years
What's the secret here
And the Japanese are now banned from visiting
What is the reason
Xiaoyan will go from outside to inside
Let us reveal the secrets of this Tiantai Nunnery
Tiantai Nunnery is built on a 1-meter-high stone platform
Three rooms wide
The length of Tiantai Nunnery is 7.15 meters
The width is 7.12 meters
The overall approximate square
This is an ancient building with a single eaves and a hilltop.
we can find out that
under the corners of each eaves
has a column
This pillar did not exist before
Because Tiantai Nunnery is old
The length of the eaves flying out is far-reaching
So I set up 4 pillars
To support the length of the eaves
Extend the service life of the eaves
A closer look at Tiantai Nunnery
we can find out that
The walls of Tian Tian Nunnery are mainly masonry structures
But in fact, the masonry structure of these four walls
not load bearing
Inside the four walls of Tiantai Nunnery
There are three pillars in each wall
A total of 12 pillars support the hall
And inside the walls of these four walls
except that there are 12 columns
And rammed earth
Bricks on the outside plus rammed earth on the inside
Plus the three internal columns
combine to make this wall indestructible
Over 1,100 years of violent storms
and earthquake
The main body of Tiantai Nunnery has not been moved.
But the roof has been repaired
Although the roof has been repaired
But the tiles on the roof are extremely elegant
When repairing the roof of Tiantai Nunnery in the last century
inside the village
There happens to be an ancient building from the Han Dynasty.
collapsed
Because of the ancient buildings of the Han Dynasty
Lost the value of repairs
But the tiles are well preserved
So I put the tiles on the ancient building
It was transplanted to this rooftop nunnery
So we are in the Tiantai Nunnery
see a lot of tiles
He is the tile of the Han Dynasty
So even the renovated Tiantai Nunnery
His historical value is also very high
So let's go back to the previous topic
The main body of Tiantai Nunnery is a wooden structure
So he's in over 1,100 years
How could he be preserved intact?
In fact, there is a lot of ancient wisdom in it.
The main wood of Tiantai Nunnery is mainly red jujube wood
Friends who have lived in the village should know
Jujube is a relatively hard wood species
Many people will not choose jujube wood when building a house
Because jujube wood is difficult to process and difficult to shape
But jujube wood has a very powerful feature
it's very solid
And the jujube wood here
every one
It's not that you can directly build a house by cutting it down.
These felled jujube trees
5 steps to go through
first step
Just need to be in the sun for a month
second step
It is to be submerged in the water for a month.
third step
Just buried in the loess for a month
The fourth step is to take the fire to bake for a month
Step 5
Just take the wood to air dry for a month
which is every beam and column we see now
He was five months
can be placed on the top of the hall
So every piece of wood
They all contain the wisdom of the ancients.
So it's been through such a thousand trials and tribulations
These trees can stand for thousands of years
Do not rot or fall out
when mentioned here
So imagine the architecture of today
Today's buildings are built very quickly
If today's buildings also follow the methods of the ancients
So today's architecture
Will it stand for hundreds of years?
even thousands of years
But in today's accelerated development
Apparently it's impossible to spend that much time
to build a house
And why so much effort
Invest so much manpower and materials here
He must have a reason
There is a story in the village
legend in tang dynasty
There was a woman who saved the then emperor
The king is very grateful
He asked the woman
What kind of wish do you want
satisfy him
the woman said
I want to build a small nunnery in my village
to pray for oneself
The emperor was very happy to hear that
Because he thinks this wish will come true
So he told this woman that you're free to splurge
Craftsmen at will
all wrapped around me
then
This Tiantai Nunnery appeared in this mountain
And the emperor specially approved that she can use the five-clawed dragon
You must know that in the ancient strict system
Three-clawed dragons and four-clawed dragons can only be used by royal relatives
And the five-clawed dragon can only be used by the emperor
And this small rooftop nunnery
But painted the five-clawed dragon pattern on the beam here
It is enough to see this Tiantai Nunnery at that time.
status is very high
Inside the main hall of Tiantai Temple
Originally there were twelve statues of Bodhisattva
They are called Twelve Yuanjue
But for historical reasons
already lost
This is also very regrettable
Let's look at the hall again
The position of the threshold is quite special
Look, there's a small hole here
What is this hole for?
This has to refer to the ideas in the Buddhist scriptures
In Buddhist scriptures, all living beings are equal
This little mouth is for kittens and puppies
Because it involved the craftsmen here
he thinks
Kittens and dogs also share the right to worship Buddha with others
In many of our rural areas
You can still see the holes
Also for cats and dogs
But this hole
It can be called the earliest discovered in China.
A passage for kittens and puppies
we understand
After the ins and outs of this Tiantai Nunnery
Let's learn more
Why are Japanese forbidden to visit here
Let's ask this old man
Hear how he explained
I'm guarding
28 years, 28 years, how long is your birthday this year?
I am 48 years old
48 years old is the same as when you were young
watch over us, because
I am here
I'm in the bureau
I work in the office
later
take this
Important tasks are entrusted to us
hmm yes
It must be a capable person
To manage such a valuable cultural relic
Are there many foreigners who come to see us?
What about the Japanese? Those aren't they?
The Japanese are not
I really like to study our ancient Chinese architecture
these but
Japan too
Don't let him watch
When the Japanese come, they won't let him see
He couldn't even get in the door just now.
Yeah, don't let them see
like people from other countries
can you visit
uh people from other countries uh
It's okay to have a Chinese company
If there is no Chinese to accompany
don't let them in
They can only look outside under the corner of the wall
because it's that
Japanese
It's not enough to have Chinese people to accompany you.
But the Japanese have Chinese to accompany him
he can't come in
yeah why?
because the Japanese
exist
In the Tang Dynasty, our Chinese
baby
Yep
In the office of the clerk who has been guarding here for 28 years
In the mouth we can know
The reason why Japanese people are not allowed to visit
because he hurt us
Tiantai Nunnery
Although experienced more than 1,100 years of baptism
But its far-reaching eaves
Strange overflow angle
He's like a vermillion bird with wings ready to fly
Full of flavor
There seems to be an aura of transcendence
Let any descendants who come to visit
He is fascinated by his quaint and pure temperament.
deeply attracted
he stands here
Not only is the testimony of the history of the Tang Dynasty
It is also a symbol of the wisdom of the ancient working people.
He is the embodiment of the broad and profound Chinese culture
One brick, one earth and one wood in Tiantai Nunnery
He has passed the rigorous test of ancient craftsmen
It can be placed on top of Tiantai Nunnery
These are countless finely crafted suns, moons and moons
Only then did Tiantai Nunnery stand for thousands of years
It's like telling us
You can't be successful all at once
how do you spend today
It means how do you spend your life
Because the future is your present points
The success or failure of things is also mentioned in ancient books
must by Xiaosheng
What's the meaning
It must be one small thing after another that can achieve you
rather than accidental
Just like the Tiantai Nunnery here
if not every column
every brick
Each layer of soil is carefully designed
He won't stand for a thousand years at all
So Tiantai Nunnery stands upright here
It also tells us a realm of life
Here Xiaoyan hopes that the rooftop will be in the next few decades
It will be like this for hundreds of years in the future
Hope to see him next time
I hope Xiaoyan will see him again next time with fans
He's still like this
Did you know more?
Well, in this issue, Xiao Yan will let everyone see this.
