How is the sixth floor of the main building of Wang Teng Pavilion laid out?

The sixth floor is the highest sightseeing floor of Wang Teng Pavilion. Between the east and west double eaves, there are two Su Dongpo's calligraphy Wang Tengting, which is 5 meters long and 2 meters wide. Although it is a dark building, the designer changed the wall between the double eaves at the north and south corners of the central hall into a lattice window, so the light is excellent. From the bottom floor below the pedestal, this floor is actually the ninth floor, so the inscription in the hall is "Nine Days". In the center of the hall, there is a white marble fence leading to the well, overlooking the fifth floor, and above it is a circular arched algae well, which means a round place. 24 groups of bucket arches, from big to small, from bottom to top, with *** 12 floors, arranged in a spiral shape. It means one year 12 months and 24 solar terms.

The bucket arch is made of folk wood in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Painted with colorful clothes, resplendent. The painting above is carefully drawn with reference to the painting style of Xi 'an Bell Tower. This spiral caisson is rare in ancient buildings in China. It can give people a sense of movement and concentration, as if it is constantly rotating and changing, and it also gives people an infinite sense of time and space, which is the ingenuity of the designer. In the center of the algae well, there is a finely carved "mother and child" palace lantern, which keeps turning slightly with the change of airflow.

In this "Nine Days" West Hall, there is an antique stage, Lingxiao, which is a small stage, performing costume songs and dances every day. On both sides of the stage are replicas of the musical instruments of the tomb of Zeng Houyi, Chu, including chimes, drums, drums with double phoenix and tiger seats, and 25-string guqin, which symbolizes the rejuvenation of the pavilion for singing and dancing. Among them are "Ceng Houyi" chimes and chime replicas unearthed in Suixian County, Hubei Province. There are 24 bells to play with and have won many prizes. There are 32 pieces of knitting, with different thicknesses and different pronunciations when struck. In addition, there are folk music, bamboo music, flute playing, leather music, drum tower, double phoenix tiger drum, music, silk music, Yin tiger chimes, cymbals, Sui and Tang musical figures and other modeling parts. These antique musical instruments are not only exhibits, but also can be used for small-scale music and dance performances. On the north, south and east walls of the main hall, there is a large-scale three-color mural "Tang Yue Wu" in the Tang Dynasty.
