From the dance Banquet at the Tang Palace, which became popular on the Internet at the beginning of the year, to the popularity of TV series "Storm" and "Long Songs", "tang style Fashion" has once again become a hot topic among netizens.

Speaking of Datang, many people will think of Xi 'an in Shaanxi. Xijing Chang 'an is the political, economic and cultural center of the Tang Dynasty, which witnessed the most glorious history of the Tang Dynasty. Luoyang, the "East Capital", is not only one of the eastern starting points of the Silk Road, but also witnessed the legendary life of a generation of female emperor Wu Zetian. Taiyuan, Shanxi (formerly known as Jinyang) was the land of Longxing in the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan and Li Shimin set out from here and established a powerful and prosperous Tang Dynasty. ...

For "Tang fans" who like the legacy of tang style, what places in the country are worth punching in?

Shaanxi Xi' an

Daming Palace Ruins Park

Daming Palace is the most magnificent architectural complex among the "three big houses" in Chang 'an in Tang Dynasty (Taiji Palace, Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace). Built in the eighth year of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan (634), it covers an area of 3.5 square kilometers, equivalent to 3 Versailles, 4.5 Forbidden City, 12 Kremlin, 13 Louvre and 13 Louvre.

The miniature landscape of Daming Palace is located on the east side of Daming Palace Ruins Museum, which truly restores the whole Daming Palace group in the heyday of Tang Dynasty with the ratio of 1: 15. Official website Map of Daming Palace Ruins Museum

For more than 200 years since Tang Gaozong, there have been 17 emperors of the Tang Dynasty handling state affairs here. This is the political center of the Tang Dynasty Empire, but with the invasion and war of the years, those magnificent buildings have long since ceased to exist. At present, the ground cultural relics in the park retain the palace abutment, wharf and other buildings left over from that year. In addition, on the basis of the site, the pedestals of Hanyuan Hall, Zhengxuan Hall and Chenzi Hall, as well as the Taiye Pool of the Royal Garden were restored.

Danfengmen Site Museum and Archaeological Exploration Center, with the original Danfengmen Site as the theme, can provide visitors with free visits and experience the mysterious pleasure of archaeological work.

Wild goose pagoda; Dayan Pagoda; Giant Wild Goose Pagoda

When you come to Xi, you must not miss the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. This tower is 64.5 meters high and has seven floors. It has always been regarded as a symbol of the ancient capital Xi.

The Wild Goose Pagoda is located in the west courtyard of Ji 'en Temple in the south of the city, formerly known as "Tower of Ji 'en Temple West Courtyard" (meaning Pagoda). Ji 'en Temple is also a royal temple in Chang 'an in Tang Dynasty. It was built in 648 in the 22nd year of Zhenguan of Emperor Taizong, and was built by Prince Li Zhi in memory of his mother, Empress Wende. After the temple is completed, please ask Xuanzang, who returned from the West, to be the "first host". In the third year of Yonghui in Tang Dynasty (AD 652), Xuanzang built the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to preserve Buddhist scriptures brought back to Chang 'an from Tianzhu.

For thousands of years, countless literati have boarded the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and expressed their feelings with poems, leaving behind the cultural tradition of the "Big Wild Goose Pagoda Poetry Society". The most precious thing about the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is that it witnessed the history of Buddhism spread on the Silk Road. One of the most noteworthy cultural relics is the Bedouin Book, which was immediately written on the leaves of Bedouin Book. Because there was no paper in ancient India, the characters were often replaced by scallops, and all the 657 scriptures that Xuanzang retrieved along the ancient Silk Road were scallops. In the four-story tower room of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there are two Bayeux scriptures about 40 cm long and 7 cm wide, which are engraved with dense Sanskrit, which is very rare.

Qujiang relics park

"Go back to spring clothes every day, and get drunk every day." Qujiang is the place where Du Fu, a famous poet in Tang Dynasty, said he was drunk.

Qujiang is located in the southeast corner of Chang 'an City in Tang Dynasty. Named after the meandering water. It has been the seat of the royal garden since Qin and Han Dynasties, and became a famous scenic spot in Tang Dynasty. Tang Xuanzong held banquets here twice a year. After those Jinshi finished their exams, they sent gangs to Qujiang to have a big banquet and have fun. Qujiang Liu Yin is one of the eight scenic spots in Chang 'an.

At present, Qujiangchi Ruins Park covers an area of 1.500 mu, bordering Tang Furong Garden in the north and Qin Ershi Mausoleum Site in the south. The park reproduces the historical and cultural landscapes of Qujiang Liu Yin, Hanwuquan, Yichun Garden, Phoenix Pool, etc., and reproduces the Qujiang landscape and cultural landscape of "green forests are common and green water is full".

Tang Yu Garden Huaqing Palace Site

The Qing Palace in the Tang Dynasty, built in the early Tang Dynasty, was the farewell palace of the feudal emperors in the Tang Dynasty. It is located in Lintong District, Xi City, Shaanxi Province, with Lishan Mountain in the south and Weishui in the north.

When it comes to Huaqing Palace, many people will think of Huaqing Pool. Every year, Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei come here to take a winter bath and enjoy the scenery. In the poem "Hot Springs", Lu Guimeng also wrote: "There are dozens of soups flowing in Wenquan Temple, and the jade canal is fragrant, and the waves return." It can be seen that the temples centered on hot springs at that time were so comfortable and luxurious, and the phrase "creamy crystal that warms and smoothes her skin" in Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow is even more imaginative.

It is said that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty brought Yang Guifei here every year to enjoy the scenery in the winter bath. Vision china diagram

Today, Huaqing Palace has cultural areas such as Tangyutang Ruins Museum, Wujiantang, the former site of the An Incident, Jiulong Lake and Furong Lake Scenic Area, Tangliyuan Ruins Museum, and other landmark buildings such as Feishuangtang, Wanshoutang and Changshengtang. There are many scenic spots on Mount Li, such as Old Mother Temple, laojunmiao, Beacon Tower and Yuxian Bridge. "Sunset on Mount Li" is also one of the famous "Eight Scenes in Guanzhong".

Gu Kannonji

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Buddhism prevailed, and there were many temples in Xi 'an. At that time, monks gathered in Fan Chuan, which was also known as the "Eight Great Temples in Fan Chuan".

Compared with Ji Xiang Temple, Xingjiao Temple and other famous temples, ancient Kannonji may be less well-known in ancient times, but at present it is no less well-known than the former. Because there is a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree in the temple, it is said that it was planted by Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong. Almost every time Ginkgo biloba leaves are watched, it will become the "darling" of social media, attracting a large number of tourists.

Ancient Kannonji is located in Luohandong Village, East Street Office, Chang 'an District, xi City, Shaanxi Province, about 30 kilometers away from Xi City. It was built in the second year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (AD 628), about 1400 years ago. It is one of the thousand-year-old temples in Zhong Nanshan. It is said that there is an ancient clear spring under the Millennium ginkgo tree, which is clear and sweet all year round. No matter rain or shine, the water level will never change, and it is known as "Guanyin Divine Spring".

Although today's ancient Kannonji has been repaired and rebuilt on the original site, the buildings such as the mountain gate, the main hall and the bell and drum tower still retain the antique charm and an extraordinary silence.

Luoyang, Henan

Dingding Gate Ruins Museum

Dingding Gate was the main entrance of Guo Cheng outside Luoyang during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was called "Jianguomen" in the early Sui Dynasty and renamed "Dingdingmen" in the Tang Dynasty. It is one of the famous "seven-day buildings" in the central axis complex of Luoyang City in Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is understood that Dingdingmen, as the main entrance of the south wall of the country, has been used for 530 years and is the longest capital city gate in ancient China.

Today's Dingding City Gate Ruins Museum looks like the gate of the Tang Dynasty, consisting of the gate, the city wall, the gate tower and the gate tower. Among them, the inner part of the city platform, the city wall and the Quetai is the site protection exhibition area, and the doorways and pillars of the Dingdingmen site unearthed by archaeological excavation are protected and displayed in the original site. In order to facilitate the visit, the floor is designed as transparent glass to increase the interest of the visit. The inner space of the tower and the Quelou is the exhibition area, which mainly displays the evolution history of Dingdingmen site and some unearthed cultural relics, so that visitors can appreciate the urban architectural style and the developed level of material civilization in the Tang Dynasty.

It is worth mentioning that archaeologists also found camel's hoof prints on the south side of Dingdingcheng Gate, which is a unique physical evidence that camels are the main means of transportation in commercial activities along the Silk Road, and confirms the close exchanges between the Western Regions and the Central Plains.

Shangqinggong

Shangqing Palace is a famous Taoist concept, located in Cuiyunfeng Mountain, Mangshan, north of Luoyang, Henan Province. According to legend, it is the place where Taishang Laojun made an alchemy, and the first Taoist concept named "Shangqing Palace" in China.

Luoyang Shangqing Palace was built in 666 AD, the first year of Ganfeng in Tang Gaozong. Tang Gaozong revered Laozi (Li Er) as Xuanyuan the Great, so the Shangqing Palace was also called Xuanyuan the Great Temple. Later generations revered Lao Zi as an old gentleman, so he was also called laojunmiao.

The palace of Shangqing Palace is magnificent, with lions and horses outside, and Wu Daozi's murals "Wu Sheng Tu" and "Old Zi Hua Hu Jing" inside, which are very spectacular. It is said that after the Tang Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, he was obsessed with Taoism and built the Qing Palace three times, which shows the status of the Qing Palace.

Interestingly, there is also a "Xia Qing Palace" not far from the Shangqing Palace. According to legend, Lao Tzu once raised green cattle here when he lived in seclusion, so it is also called "green cow view" and is a sister palace view with Shangqing Palace. At present, it is well preserved, and after repair, it is still a towering temple with a fairy spirit.

Luoyang City National Heritage Park in Sui and Tang Dynasties

"There is a China Palace, which is the residence of God. The king set up a palace, and he is happy. " Because Tiandi lived in Wei Zi Palace, after Yang Di moved the capital, Miyagi was named "Wei Zicheng". In the sixth year of Zhenguan (632), Emperor Taizong changed its capital to Luoyang Palace and continued to use its old palace, Weizicheng.

However, without the achievements of a generation of female emperors, Wei Zicheng really embarked on a "highlight moment." In the first year of Guangzhai in Tang Ruizong (684), Empress Wu Zetian called Luoyang the "East Capital" and the "God Capital", and named Wei Zicheng the "Taichu Palace". With the comprehensive eastward movement of the political, economic and cultural centers in the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zicheng was constantly expanded and repaired, and its glory reached its peak.

It is said that Tang Ming and Paradise built during the reign of Wu Zetian are the two tallest buildings in Luoyang and Miyagi, the whole eastern capital. They changed the tradition of single-storey main hall of the central axis of the palace, and made the three-dimensional outline and style of Luoyang Miyagi Palace more magnificent.

Tang Ming is the main hall of the great dynasty in Wei Zi. The whole building is 98 meters high and covers an area of1.2000 square meters. Because it is towering and all-encompassing, Wu Zetian gave Tang Ming a domineering name-"Vientiane Temple". Tang Ming is not only a temple for political affairs, but also a place for worshipping God. It is the highest residence of Wu Zetian and a symbol of imperial power.

It is said that the height of heaven should be at least150m. Vision china diagram

The Temple of Heaven, also known as "Tian Tong Pagoda", is the Buddhist temple of Wu Zetian. Tang Ming is more than 90 meters long, so how high is heaven? There is a specific description in "Learning from the Same Experience": Heaven is five stories high, and the third floor is already higher than Tang Ming. Based on this calculation, the height of heaven should be at least150m.

Unfortunately, however, in 695, five years after Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, Xue Huaiyi, the leader of Wu Zetian, fell out of favor and set fire to the sky. Because Tang Ming is too close to the heaven, "On the third night of the lunar calendar in 695 AD, the heaven caught fire and extended to Tang Ming, and the second hall was destroyed in the morning". From completion to burning, the life of such a huge building is only seven years.

Today's Luoyang City National Heritage Park in Sui and Tang Dynasties has restored Tang Ming, Paradise, Kyushu Pool and other buildings in the Tang Dynasty on the basis of the original site. As a "Tang powder", if you want to experience the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, you must not miss it.

baiyun temple

Baiyun Temple, located in the southeast of Taiyuan City, is related to the famous prime minister of Tang Dynasty, De Renjie. And Di Renjie is a native of Taiyuan.

Emperor made a vow to build Kannonji where Baiyun stopped, hence the name Baiyun Temple. Vision china diagram

It is said that once, Di Renjie went back to his hometown to visit relatives in midsummer, and when he was walking on the road, suddenly a white cloud followed him to shade the sun. Baiyun stopped at Hongtugou with the Prime Minister. It happened that his mother was seriously ill after worshipping Guanyin, so the Emperor built Kannonji at the place where Baiyun stopped as his mother's wish, hence the name Baiyun Temple.

Baiyun Temple faces south and enters the courtyard three times. Since the early Tang dynasty, it has suffered from war and reconstruction. Most of the existing buildings were rebuilt by monk Tianze, a military doctor in Li Zicheng, during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1663), and some statues and classics of the Ming Dynasty were preserved in the hall. Fu Shan, a famous person in Taiyuan, wrote "Tianze Monk Monument" here, and the original is now hidden in Chunyang Palace in Wuyi Square. In addition, the ancient trees outside the temple are towering and the environment is deep, which is also one of the best places for summer vacation.

Today, there are still more than 100 buildings in the Tang Dynasty in China, with masonry buildings accounting for the vast majority, while the four remaining wooden buildings in the Tang Dynasty are all in Shanxi Province, namely, the East Hall of Beigao Temple in Wutai Mountain, the nanzenji Hall in Wutai County, the Tiantai Temple in Pingshun and the Guangren Temple Hall in Ruicheng.

By chance, Liang Sicheng found a Tang Dynasty mural "Wutai Mountain Map" in Cave 1 17 in Dunhuang, which painted a panoramic view of Wutai Mountain, a Buddhist holy place, and marked the names of various temples, including a building named "Dabukeji", which made him see the hope of discovering Tang Dynasty architecture. So Liang Sicheng and his wife, Lin, began their journey to find ancient wooden structures in the Tang Dynasty. Bukoji in Wutai Mountain, Shanxi Province became the first "living fossil" of wooden structures in the Tang Dynasty.

Wuke Temple is located in Doucun Town, Wutai County, with the East Hall as the main hall. It was built in the 11th year of the Tang Dynasty (AD 857). The East Hall embodies the characteristics of wooden buildings in the Tang Dynasty, such as large arches and far-reaching eaves. Under the huge roof, there is a wooden floor with extremely strict design. The buckets are arranged in two circles, which are not only used to bear the weight of the roof, but also used to support the elegant internal structure of the roof. Therefore, it is also an example of the bucket arch with the largest number of stories and the farthest distance among the existing ancient buildings in China.

The statues and murals of the Tang Dynasty in the temple are also extremely precious. There are 35 statues of the Tang Dynasty and 296 statues of the Ming Dynasty, which are lifelike and magnificent. On the wall of the East Hall, there are 10 square meters of murals of the Tang Dynasty, which are Buddhist stories. Solemn Buddha statues, charitable bodhisattvas, mighty kings and colorful flying skies all reflect the charm of Tang paintings.

Wutai county nanzenji

Nanzenji is located in Li Jiazhuang, Bai Yang Township, Wutai County, covering an area of more than 3,000 square meters. Except for the main building, the Great Buddha Hall, which is an authentic work of the Tang Dynasty, all the other buildings were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Wutai county nanzenji

This Buddhist temple has a beautiful appearance. The single-eaved gray tile is located on the top of the mountain. The whole hall consists of abutment, roof truss and roof, with 12 eaves columns. There are no ceilings and columns in the temple, and the walls are not load-bearing, but only act as barriers. The weight of the roof is mainly supported by the pillars on the eaves and beams. It is said that there are still some vague ink marks on a large flat beam, which reads: "Because the old name was built in the Tang Dynasty for three years ... I am determined to rebuild the temple and so on." . Based on this calculation, nanzenji was 75 years earlier than Beixing, and it has exceeded 1 200 years. It is the oldest wooden structure building in China in the Tang Dynasty, and also the oldest wooden structure building in Asia.

Nanzenji is over 1200 years ago. It is the oldest existing wooden building in Tang Dynasty in China and the oldest wooden building in Asia. Vision china diagram

There are 17 Buddha statues in nanzenji Giant Buddha Hall, all of which are treasures of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, some of them were stolen and destroyed in 1999, which was called "Southern Zen Robbery". There are three stone lions and a stone pagoda in nanzenji, which are also relics of the Tang Dynasty.
