Everyone knows that the south side of the Drum Tower reads "Wu Wen Sheng Di" and the north side of the Drum Tower reads "What is it?"

Nanbian's "Land of Civil and Military Prosperity" has a broad artistic conception, and the Millennium love of the ancient capital is lingering in the pen. The inscription on the North Monument "Sound is heard in the sky" is taken from the sentence of "He Ming is nine high and the sound is heard in the sky" in the Book of Songs.

Among them, the "Wu Wen Sheng Di" in the south and the "No.1 Pass in the World" plaque in Shanhaiguan are known as the "two major plaques in China"; Unfortunately, the two plaques in the Drum Tower were destroyed in the turbulent years. Now, the two wooden tablets with gold characters on the blue background were copied later, and the eight tablets are all gold-plated and concave, with exquisite characters.

On 24 drums, the names of 24 solar terms are written on the surface of each drum in beautiful fonts. Whenever the drums wake up, there will be a huge thunder, a rumbling sound that travels hundreds of miles. Moreover, according to the different solar terms, these drums also have their own different drum rhymes, which are quite distinctive.
