Characteristics of Dongchang Ancient City

Located in the center of the ancient city, Liaocheng Guangyue Building was built in the seventh year of Ming Hongwu (1374). Its height is 33 meters, that is, nine feet nine feet, which is the number of the sun, suitable for Yi Li. Build five floors, reflecting the number of Heluo. Guangyue Building is a landmark building in Liaocheng, a famous historical and cultural city. It is also one of the highest and oldest existing ancient pavilions in China, and also a national key cultural relics protection unit.

The Guangyue Building in Liaocheng was built by Chen Yong, then the garrison commander of Dong Changwei, out of the military need of "looking away from the enemy". At that time, people called it "Yumulou". Therefore, the building has the function of beating drums to tell the time, also known as "Drum Tower". In the 22nd year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1486), Yang Neng, the magistrate, named this building "Dongchang Building" when he was renovating it. In the ninth year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty (1496), Li Zan, the official minister, passed by Dongchang to visit Mr. Jin Tianxi, the prefect. * * * climbed up the building and was amazed. "There is nothing in the world because of sighing, although yellow crane Yueyang also wants to see it. It's been a hundred years now, and I'm still unknown, nameless and nameless, and I'm not ashamed. Because it is called' Guangyue Building' by Tianzhu, it is better to be near Lu than to wait for Yue. " Since then, the name of "Guangyue Building" has been used in the reconstruction of inscriptions in previous dynasties. The appearance of Guangyue Building is a street pavilion with four eaves and ridges, which is divided into two parts: pier and main building.

The pier is a quadrangular prism made of masonry, with a bottom length of 34.43 meters, which is close to the total height of Guangyue Building and a vertical height of 9.38 meters. In the middle of the east, west, south and north directions of the platform, there is a half-ticket arch, which forms a cross arch from the center of the platform. Square doorways are built above the four ticket gates. South says "civilization", North says "martial law", East says "peace" and West says "Xing Li". It is worth noting that the "Wuding" in the north gate has a strong military color, which should be related to the wariness of the remnants of northern Mongolia in the early Ming Dynasty. There are small arches on both sides of the south arch, which are similar in shape to the middle arch. The front of the small door on the east side is carved with bluestone, with the inscription "Fairy Que in Fengcheng" and the inscription "Yingzhou in Yuen Long" on the west side. The "Fengcheng" in the "Fairy Que of Fengcheng" is named after the legend of the old Fenghuang ancient city in Liaocheng. "Xianque" refers to the place where immortals live. Reading the artistic conception is ethereal, giving people the association of Xianshan Qiongge. "Yuen Long" in "Yingzhou, Yuen Long" is the legendary fairy residence. Yingzhou refers to the legendary fairy island. Although the two characters are different, they are all in contrast with the fairyland atmosphere outside the transcendental object. The west gate is a fake gate, only in form, in order to match the east gate. The east gate is the only access to the building. The gate width is 3. 14m, and the arch height is1.75m. However, the actual use is still too large, so a small coupon is built in the coupon, and the doorway width is only1.86m.. When people step on the door, there is a room in the door, a stamp on the east, and a small window on the south wall for ventilation and lighting. Visitors can use the lights to turn north and climb 37 steps to reach the platform. The platform area is not large, but you can stop and take a nap. Tourists often stop here to have a rest. Then it will be upgraded to 15 level to reach the table.

Build an open porch on the countertop to prevent rainwater from invading the terrace. Its architecture can be traced back to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and its location is just on the central axis of the East Building. As the East Gate is the main avenue, its buildings were added as a symbol. The veranda is 5 rooms wide and 3 rooms deep, and the roof is light and lively. On the stairs of Changxuan, there is a woodcut plaque inscribed by a famous contemporary calligrapher, Mr. Qi Gong. The font is exquisite and the brushwork is vigorous.

Standing by the wall, look around: overlooking the southeast, Daiyue peaks are looming; Looking south, the banks are weeping willows and the lake is overflowing; Looking north, trees are shaded and tile houses are clustered; Looking up outside the city, the buildings are vertical and horizontal, and the flowers are like flowers; Looking back, dongchang lake is like a brocade belt, surrounded by ancient cities, and the lake city is full of interest.

When you climb the foundation, you can see that the four-story main building is built on a high platform, and it is all made of wood. This square building is surrounded by a veranda about 24 meters high. * * * There are 192 gold pillars and 200 bucket arches. The ground on the first floor is slightly higher than the countertop, square, surrounded by stones, with five rooms wide and five rooms deep. The structure is fresh and clear, with double grooved columns and corridors inside and outside. The wall is decorated with red chalk, but there is no paint inside, revealing a bare brick wall. All the rooms open on all sides of the building have two board doors, which are simple and elegant.

The stele gallery consists of 7 vertical steles and 15 wall steles. Except for two wall monuments embedded in the inner wall of the first floor, the other 20 are under the eaves or on the outer wall of the first floor. It is of great historical, literary and artistic value to observe its contents, either for repairing stones or writing poems. Among them, the Qianlong poem tablet is one of the best products.

The monument to the rebuilt Guangyue Building was erected at the East Gate and the Four Gates, which was made by Yang Yizeng, a Taoist priest in Jingxiang, Hubei Province and the founder of Haiyuan Pavilion, in the 20th year of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty (1840).

On the north side of the gate on the first floor, there is a shrine of Luban in Ming Dynasty on the eaves column and gold column. There is a statue of Lu Ban in the niche.

There is a wooden plaque with black characters on a white background on the Luban niche, which was inscribed by the younger brother of Pu Jie, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty. On the golden pillar around Luban Temple, there is also an article by Sun Tongfeng, the former county magistrate of Liaocheng, and Mr. Jiang Weisong's couplet: "Mount Tai is east, the Yellow River is west, the moonlight is peachy, and the wine by the railing is infinitely good; Taiwan shoots books, the hometown is bright, the people are outstanding, and the building is nostalgic.

In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong visited Jiangnan seven times, visited the East six times, visited Dongchangfu nine times, and boarded Guangyue Building five times, and lived in Wenchang Pavilion many times. He once wrote thirteen poems for Guangyue Tower. Therefore, Wenchang Pavilion is also called "Qianlong Palace". Now there is a statue of Qianlong in the pavilion to commemorate it. On the forehead of Wenchang Pavilion, there is a plaque inscribed by Mr. Guo Moruo, a modern historian in China. Black characters on white background, 1.2m long and 0.5m wide.

In fact, it is the structural layer of Guangyue Building, with crossbar interspersed, cross beams buckled and crisscrossed, which makes the bottom-up gold column and eaves column form a whole, which is more solid and stable. So the third floor is also the main frame of the building. This floor is five rooms wide. The upper end between the golden column and the eaves column is a beam frame, which runs through the second floor, so there are only three floors of underground buildings.
