The best preserved Feng Shui introduction of Yingxian wooden pagoda?

Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is called Sagata, which is located in Yingxian County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province. It has a history of hundreds of years and is the tallest and oldest wooden pagoda in China. It, together with the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Eiffel Tower in the world, is also called the three towers of aristocratic families. This issue of architectural geomantic omen takes you to know Yingxian wooden pagoda.

The stupa is a unique architectural form in the architectural history of China. It originated in India. The original pagodas are pagodas, that is, buried pagodas, which means graves. The relic is a transliteration of Sanskrit, which mainly refers to the crystal extracted by Taoist priests after smashing the relic. They are as hard as king kong, sparkling and varied, and are often called "five-color relics". Wutai Mountain, for example, is as clean as a mage. More than 5,000 relics of various colors were found after death. According to experts' research, white relics are bone relics, black relics are hair relics, and red relics are flesh relics.

With the deepening and development of religious culture, the pagoda is also developing. The significance of the tower has gone beyond the building itself, but has developed into a tower culture.

Pagoda was introduced into China in the Han Dynasty, initially wooden pagoda, then brick pagoda, and in the Song Dynasty, stone pagoda, metal pagoda and glazed pagoda appeared again. The shape has also changed. The earliest towers were covered with bowls. Later, there were pavilions, dense eaves and double eaves, and the most precious King Kong throne tower. There are only five such towers in China. The function has also developed from the earliest stupa to the Sutra Pavilion and some secular stupas, such as the Wind Tower and Wenfeng Pagoda.

The number of towers is usually odd and the number of faces is usually even. In the traditional culture of China, odd numbers are Yang, even numbers are Yin, Yang is the sky, and Yin is the ground, so the tower can also be called negative Yin holding Yang, which is indomitable. No matter what type of tower it is, it is generally divided into four parts: tower gate, tower body, tower foundation and underground palace.

The quality consciousness of ancient people is stronger than that of modern people. Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, the Eiffel Tower in France and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy are also called the "Three Wonders of the World". Yingxian Wooden Pagoda was built in the second year of Qing Ning in Liao Dynasty (1056). The plane of the tower is octagonal, with five outer layers and four dark layers, which is actually nine layers. The total height is 67. 13m, which is 16.4m higher than the famous Beijing White Pagoda. The bottom layer is 30 meters in diameter, with a total weight of about 7400 tons and 3500 cubic meters of wood. It is the oldest, tallest and largest wooden tower building at home and abroad. Its design is very ingenious. There is not a nail in the whole tower, which is made of wooden components connected with each other by mortise and tenon. The appearance is steady and dignified, the proportion is appropriate, and the outline is beautiful. There are 54 different forms and hundreds of bucket arches all over the tower, which is rare in China and is known as the "bucket arch museum".

According to historical records, this wooden tower has been destroyed many times. In the warlord melee of 1926, the wooden tower was shot more than 200 times, and bullet marks can still be seen. Fortunately, the bullet was not fatal at that time; 1934, the year after Liang Sicheng surveyed the wooden tower, the government of the Republic of China carried out a "major maintenance" on the wooden tower, removing the mud wall and diagonal stilts between the buildings and replacing them with the existing doors and windows.

The following year, Liang Sicheng came to Yingxian again. The red and white pagoda lost its original luster. He stamped his chest and kept sighing. The expert group of China Heritage Research Institute believes that it is this wrong maintenance that "greatly reduces the lateral stiffness and bearing capacity of each story and weakens the structural integrity of each story." In fact, the damage does not stop there. The original wall with mud is smooth white outside, and there are beautiful colored paintings inside, so it is difficult to see it again.

In the early days of the founding of New China, Yingxian held a "meeting of ten thousand people" in the tower, and speakers were installed on each floor, which was packed. The ancient pagoda is really difficult! Thanks to such a heavy load, the main soil of wood foundation is composed of clay and sand, which has a large bearing capacity.
