History and culture

Jinci Temple was built in the Western Zhou Dynasty (BC 1 1 century) to commemorate Tang Shuyu, the founding emperor of the State of Jin (later named King of Jin) and the mother city of Jiang Hou. It is the concentrated carrier of ancient architectural art in China.

1500 years ago, it was recorded in Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics in the Northern Wei Dynasty that Jinci had a considerable scale. After more than two thousand years of construction, repair and expansion, it has become today's scale. Among them, it flourished from the 7th century to12nd century, and it was a model of ancient gardens and sculpture in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Up to now, there are more than 0/00 ancient buildings/kloc in the Tang Dynasty and in different periods of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially Notre Dame, the main building, which is regarded as the only typical representative architectural example of the Northern Song Dynasty in the history of ancient Chinese architecture. The sculpture of the Song Dynasty preserved by Notre Dame broke through the pattern of religious statues before the Song Dynasty, became a portrayal of real people in society at that time, and created a precedent for realistic works of sculpture art. It is not only the only statue reflecting court figures in the history of sculpture in China, but also a rare masterpiece in the history of sculpture in China.

Jinci Temple was built a long time ago, with superior geographical location and beautiful natural scenery. Jinci, with a large number of ancient buildings, sculptures, inscriptions, murals and ancient and famous trees, reflects the development and changes of China's ancient politics, economy, architecture, gardens, sculpture, religion, culture and many other fields from different aspects. The historical, artistic, scientific and appreciation value of Jinci Temple makes it the oldest and most representative example of the combination of ancient ancestral temple and garden art, and it is also the ancient culture of China and the art of human architecture.

cultural relic

Notre Dame

The most famous building in Jinci is Notre Dame Cathedral, which was built in the heyday of Song Dynasty (1023- 1032). The Virgin Mary is said to be the mother of Uncle Yu. Notre Dame Cathedral, formerly known as "Maid's Hall", is spacious and bright, with 4 1 handmaiden statues painted beautifully in the Song Dynasty and 2 plastic sculptures in the Ming Dynasty.

The hall dedicated to Notre Dame de Jinci was built in the eighth year of Jin Dading (1068). It is three rooms wide and three rooms deep, with one eaves resting on the top of the mountain, four rafters and two columns as eaves, doors at the front and rear, and the rest as thick sills and forks, which is particularly transparent and spacious. Cross-shaped flying beams are placed in the main hall of Notre Dame and the fish pond of the sacrificial hall, which has the function of extending in all directions. The carved dragon on the front porch of Notre Dame Hall is reflected in the pond and clear water. The altar is a place where gifts are held and sacrifices are displayed. It is an open or semi-open space with good permeability.

The sleeping hall is a sacred place for offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors in temples. It is located behind the main shaft. Because of the ancient concept of death, it was built in the form of sleeping in front of the temple Notre Dame is located on the top of the mountain and has a double roof. The plane is seven rooms wide, six rooms deep, five rooms in the hall, two rooms in the front porch, no columns in the hall, built-in shrine, the statue of the Virgin of China, and 42 attendants around. Only the front has straight lattice windows and colonnades.

Liang Yuzhaofei

The fish pond flying beam was built in the Song Dynasty, showing a cross bridge shape, such as Dapeng spreading its wings. It is between the hall of Notre Dame and the hall of Xiandian, with elegant and unique shape. [4]?

In-Tae Kim

Crystal platform

There are four iron men in the Golden Man Terrace. Because iron belongs to hardware, it is called "Golden Man Terrace". The Iron Man in the southwest corner was cast in the fourth year of Shaosheng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1097), which has a history of more than 800 years and is well preserved. It is said that Iron Man can't stand the heat in summer and goes to Fenhe River to cross. Seeing a boat, the Iron Man asked the boatman to take him across the river. The boatman revealed the true face of the iron man and carried it to the golden platform. The virgin ordered her generals to chop off the iron man's toes three times as a punishment for disobeying the precepts. I still have three cuts on my foot. [5]?

Tangbei pavilion

Tang stele pavilion is the pavilion of "Zhenguan Bao Han", and Jinci stele is engraved in Baogan Pavilion of Zhenguan in Jinci. Li Shimin's Inscription on Jinci Inscription is displayed in the museum. The whole monument 1200, calligraphy is cursive, and the brushwork is unique and subtle, which is the treasure of calligraphy art [6]?

Shuimu building

Above the South Pavilion, there is a jellyfish building, commonly known as the dressing building, or the Crystal Palace. The jellyfish in the building is like copper and gold, sitting on the urn, with endless hair and its own style. According to legend, the jellyfish surnamed Liu lives in Jinsheng Village near Jinci. However, after marriage, she was abused by her mother-in-law and went to distant places to fetch water every day. Only the front bucket and the bottom of the bucket need to be made into a sharp bottom, so that Liu can't rest. The rider gave Liu Yi a golden whip and told her to put it in the urn, which would be filled with water. The secret was discovered by Liu's sister-in-law. When Liu returned to her family, she raised her whip from the urn, and suddenly the water gushed out and the village was about to be flooded. Liu Nv heard the news and sat on the urn to save people. Jellyfish never leave the urn. [6]?

Mingfeng temple

According to legend, this was the villa of Wei Chijingde, a general of the Tang Dynasty. There is a stupa in Shengfeng Temple, which is 38 meters high and has seven octagons. There is a huge pagoda tree near Shengfeng Temple. According to legend, this locust tree has a long history and has long since dried up. I don't know how many years passed. It was in the 21st year of Qing Qianlong (1756) that we met at Shengfeng Temple on the 21st day of the third lunar month. There is an old Taoist priest selling plasters under the withered locust tree. But no one bought his medicine. The old man continued to sell: "You come to buy such a fairy medicine, no one will bless it, and the dead tree will survive." After that, he put the plaster on Sophora alopecuroides and walked away. In less than a month, this dead Sophora japonica rose from the dead, and people called it resurrection Sophora japonica. [6]?

Three wonders of Jinci

One is Bai Zhou and Tang Huai. Bai Zhou and Tang Huai are both representatives of ancient trees in Jinci. Bai Zhou was a cypress planted in the Zhou Dynasty, and it is still lush. It is located on the north side of Notre Dame Hall. There used to be two cypress trees named Qinian, and now there is only one left. It has been more than 2800 years since, and the trunk is thick, which requires several people to pass. Tang Huai is a pagoda tree planted in the Tang Dynasty, which is located in front of the water mirror and is the most flourishing one. Every spring and summer, these trees have shade.

The second is the colored sculpture of Notre Dame Hall in Song Dynasty. There are 43 colorful sculptures in the temple. The main statue is the virgin ginger, and the other 42 statues are eunuchs, female officials and maids. The embroidered robe of the virgin rockhopper sits on the rockhopper chair. All the maids serve with things, which is a masterpiece in the history of sculpture in China.

The last of the three wonders is the difficult old spring. Commonly known as "South Sea Eye", it comes from fault rocks and spews water all the year round. In the Northern Qi Dynasty, some people named it "Difficult Old Spring" according to the sentence "Never tin is difficult to get old" in the Book of Songs. There is a pavilion on the spring, and the words "Difficult Old Spring" inscribed by Fu Shan, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, are hung on the pavilion. When Li Bai came here, he once praised: "Jinci runs like a jasper." There are three sources of water in Shanxi, one is a good spring, the other is a fish marsh spring and the other is a difficult old spring. Difficult old spring is the main spring among the three springs, and the source of golden water flows out from here for many years.

Crystal platform

Water mirror stage is a large stage in Ming and Qing Dynasties. On the east side of the stage, there is a double-eaves rest peak, which is used as a back curtain when performing, and on the west side of the stage, there is a roll shed rest peak, facing the Notre Dame Hall, which is open on three sides. The stage is divided into two parts. In terms of architectural modeling, the backstage was built in the Ming Dynasty. The front desk was built in the Qing Dynasty. 12 open columns stand in the foreground, supporting the roof of the dumper room. There are two verandahs connected with the foreground at the four corners of the backstage platform. There are two doors between the front stage and the back stage, separated by wooden boards, and a horizontal plaque of "water mirror platform" is hung on it. The abutment is 1.3 meters above the ground, and the front edge is decorated with 60 cm high stone pillars.

The word "water mirror" is taken from the sentence "Clear water mirror cannot escape" in Biography of Han Anguo before the Han Dynasty, which means faithfulness and treachery. It is obvious in the clear water mirror that it shows its original shape, so it is called "water mirror". [7]?

Duiyue store

Duiyue Square, located on the west side of the central axis of Jinci Scenic Area, was built in the fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. It is not only beautiful in shape, but also magnificent in structure. In ancient China, the role of Fang was used to publicize the so-called "loyalty and filial piety" of feudal ethics, commonly known as memorial archway. Among the three plaques in Jinci, literally, the feeling of "on the moon" plaque is the most difficult to understand. This plaque was inscribed by Gao Yingyuan, a calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, with the words "Golden List Book", which is vigorous and magnificent, just like Youlong. According to legend, Gao Yingyuan's mother suffered from migraine, and all the doctors failed. After that, she got a sign in front of Lv Zu, which read "Add bricks and tiles". After careful observation in the temple, Gao Yingyuan found that there was a temple, a hall, a building, a pavilion and a bridge, but there was no memorial archway, so she chose to build this archway on the west side of Ren Yantai, and wrote a plaque herself and hung it in the middle. "Duiyue" expresses the sentence "Duiyue is in heaven" in The Book of Songs, Zhou Song and Qing Palace. "Yes" means repayment; "Yue" means propaganda. "Duiyue" means "repaying and publicizing the kindness of ancestors", which should be a pun here. It refers not only to repay the kindness and publicize the noble mother's virtue, but also to the infinite merit of the virgin city. [7]?

Notre Dame sculpture

Zhou Chengwang named his brother Yu Shu a Jin native, and later generations commemorated him before he built the Jinci Temple. Notre Dame was also built for Yu Shu's mother "Jiang Yi".

In the center of the temple is the statue of Jiang Yi, with more than 40 waiters on the left and right sides. The temple was built in the heyday of the Northern Song Dynasty and rebuilt in the first year of Chongning. (1 102), and behind the seat of the Madonna in the temple is the inscription of the second year of Moshuyuan (1087). The main image of Notre Dame "Jiang Yi", that is, "Notre Dame", is more formal and rigid due to the restrictions of etiquette and identity. These waiters are full-time, with the same identity and personality.

Among the 43 existing colored sculptures of Notre Dame, except for the figurines on both sides of the Notre Dame statue, which were added later, the rest are original sculptures in the early Song Dynasty. The virgin in the center of the hall, wearing a rockhopper, has a quiet and kind face, sitting cross-legged on a wooden square seat, with one hand on her chest and the other on her leg, and her fingers hidden in her sleeves. The embroidered robe she wore hung down to the bottom of the seat along her knees, making the whole statue look steady and dignified.

Three wonders of ancient architecture

The "Three Wonders" in China's ancient buildings are also preserved here.

One is Notre Dame Hall. Built in the reign of Emperor Tiansheng of Song Dynasty and rebuilt in the reign of Emperor Chongning of Song Dynasty (1 102), this is the main hall of the whole temple. There is a veranda outside the hall, which is the earliest existing palace with veranda in ancient buildings in China. The temple is seven rooms wide and six rooms deep, which is extremely spacious, but there is not a pillar. It turns out that the roof truss is supported by wooden columns on the cloister outside the wall, and the columns are slightly inclined inward, and the four corners are higher, forming cornices. The roof is yellow and green with glazed tiles, and the flying pavilion overlooks it with great momentum. The clay sculptures of the Virgin of the Song Dynasty, 3 1 handmaid and 4 female officials in the temple are the treasures of the existing clay sculptures of the Song Dynasty in China. Maids dress up, sweep the floor, play music, or sing and dance in different forms.

The second is the carved dragon on the front pillar of the temple. This is the earliest existing Panlong carved column in China, carved in the second year of Song Yuanyou (1087). Eight dragons, each holding a big column, glared at each other, and their whole bodies emerged from the clouds, furious. Although it was nearly a thousand years ago, their scales still have beards.

The third is the fish pond flying beam in front of the temple. This is a square lotus pond. A cross-shaped flying beam was set up on the swamp, supported by 34 octagonal stone pillars. The railings and sentry boxes beside the bridge have strange shapes and can be left and right at will on the footbridge. This kind of cross flying beam, which breaks through a straight line, is rare in ancient buildings in China.

Cultural relic value

1, artistic features

Jinci Temple has obvious commemorative significance,

The way to worship a temple

Strong aesthetic value and strong artistic appeal. Even a single building has its own order. The arrangement of colonnade, the combination of bucket arches, the alternation of light and shade of tile ridges, the interspersion of space and the configuration of color tones are all reasonable and appropriate, in line with aesthetic habits. It is precisely because of its sequence characteristics and people's moving viewing process that its space art is transformed into time art.

2. Modeling style

There are eight woodcarving dragons on the colonnade in front of the hall of Notre Dame, which are reflected in the water and float with the waves. There are no columns in the hall, so a door is carefully equipped in the hall with a straight window between the two ends. The surrounding columns are slightly inclined inward to form a "side angle", and the increase of corner columns causes "birth". Five arches are paved under the eaves, one arch and two jumps, the stigma is flat, and the supplementary sheet is copied. Six arches are paved on the upper eaves, with single arch and three jumps, double copy of the stigma, double copy of the weight, and special-shaped arch. The stigma is different from the patch, and the upper eaves are different from the lower eaves. The roof of the temple is covered with tiles and decorated with yellow-green glass. The colors are balanced and exquisite, and the whole hall is solemn and gorgeous.

Fish pond flying beam is located between Notre Dame Hall and Immortal Hall. A cross-shaped bridge is placed on a square pond. There are 34 stone pillars in the pool, and the stigma is connected with the square. Put a big bucket on it, and add a cross-shaped arch on the bucket to support the beam Fang. It is wide from east to west, and the north and south are tilted like wings, echoing the upturned wing angle in the hall of Notre Dame, showing the trend of the temple wings flying.

In the colored sculpture of Notre Dame, Jiang Yi sits in the middle with a solemn and elegant expression, which is a precious material for studying the sculpture art and costumes in the Song Dynasty.

On the golden platform in front of the temple, there is an iron warrior of the Song Dynasty in every corner. In Notre Dame, the images of ladies-in-waiting groups, which are far apart, all have their own special images, including plump and pretty bodies and delicate and round faces, and each shows very different thoughts and feelings. Their feminine beauty is in sharp contrast with the masculinity of the Song cast iron people.
