Beijing's two most famous wells, one is Wangfujing, the other you need to look upwards

China is so big, how can one museum encompass everything? The architecture of the exquisite, and is not a small Xionongtan can be compatible with all of them? But that doesn't stop the Beijing Museum of Ancient Architecture from being a low-key guide to the fascinating classics.

This is only 4 kilometers from the heart of the motherland, but away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the environment is quiet, ancient cypresses in the sky. It is the first thematic museum in China that collects, researches and displays the history of ancient Chinese architectural technology, art and its development.

Most of the exhibits are located in the exhibition areas such as Tai Sui Hall, the Hall of Worship, and the West Annex Hall. Although the exhibits are more graphic, replicas and models, and can not really present a piece of treasure in front of us, but for us to clearly draw a long historical scroll, the Chinese nation seven thousand years of architectural civilization history one by one to emerge.

In this, Longfuji Algae Well is called the treasure of the museum, but also a rare national treasure. It is now stored in the Hall of the First Nongtan, is a national cultural relics.

Algae well name well rather than well, not built on the ground, but to look up to see. Algae well is a decorative treatment on the roof of traditional Chinese architecture, is the peak of the small woodwork decoration technology show.

Longfuji Algiers up and down **** six layers, each layer of the circular main frame are finely carved cloud pattern. The bottom two layers hanging from the ceiling occupied by the Buddha, in one, two, three, five layers on the layout of the heavenly palace of the Jade Palace, the heavenly palace for the painted twenty-eight stars and goddesses, the palace of the immortals in the heavenly maiden, are carved and made of the expression of the gods and goddesses is extremely different and delicate, but also exquisite. Algae well at the top is a star map. In the algae well periphery, and the interior ceiling and algae well one and two levels of the level for a square well square, on which the colorful clouds in the center of a statue of God, and the smallpox in this room under the wood carving of the four heavenly kings to support.

In addition to look at our cultural relics, do not forget to increase knowledge. The museum systematically introduces the various types of buildings from ancient times to the present day, the construction methods, the basis of classification, as well as some of the decorative components that we are familiar with but do not necessarily name.

In Beijing, where there are many historical monuments, the Museum of Ancient Architecture is low-key and quiet, with few tourists, making it an excellent experience.
