Essay on Qingyuan Building in Xuanhua

Came to Xuanhua city, in front of an ancient building, tall square masonry pedestal like a fort, four sides have a door opening.

Qingyuan building erected on it, the body of the building for the three layers of green tiles surrounded by flying eaves, like a chic pagoda sentencing.

See in the hall on the ground there is a very large pit, more than a hundred meters long, wide seventy to eighty meters, the pit is densely packed, neatly arranged with clay sculpture of the warriors, although it is sculpted with clay, but one with the size of a real person, as if it is a living person standing there are practicing.

You see, they were dressed in robes and armor, with boots that buckled at the front, and the right side of their heads were pulled back into a bun.

Some of their hands with a spear, some with a sword, some with a shield; all round eyes, tightly closed lips, serious look, vivid, as if waiting for a duel with the enemy; there are many archers, some of them standing, some half-squatting, some one hand pulling the bow and one hand with an arrow, mighty and unusual, as if the enemy will arrive at the arrows; the pit there are also knights, they hold the bar, the waist, the knights of the spirit of a sword, the knights of the spirit of a sword. The knights sat on the knife, the knights are full of energy, the war horse in a thousand different ways, some look down at their own hooves, some tilted their heads, open their mouths as if they were long neighing.

The whole pit has thousands of terracotta warriors and horses, lined up in square formation, is waiting, ready to fight with the enemy to the death, so that people look at the feeling of high morale.

This six-pronged, seven-stage stupa, built entirely of brick, about 28 meters high, about 20 meters in circumference.

On each face of the pagoda there are several small statues of Buddha sitting cross-legged and resting with eyes closed, which are so lifelike that they can be seen.

The whole tower is slightly tilted to the northwest.

According to the old people said, this is because we here often northwest wind, in order to make the tower in a number of years gradually vertical, built the tower deliberately designed, the whole tower, in the sunshine, brilliant, very beautiful.

Still in May 1956, China's geologists dug open the dungeon's vajra door, unveiling the secrets of the underground palace.

We entered the herringbone-shaped King Kong door, as if into the ice warehouse, which is to the underground palace, it is 27 meters from the ground, a total area of 1,195 square meters, divided into the front, in the middle, after the left, right five halls.

Through the vajra door is the front hall.

In front of me is a tall alabaster stone door.

I unintentionally pushed the stone door, actually stayed: "Such a huge chasing answer

stone door, how such a lightweight, the beginning of the self?" I looked at the instructions with a belly full of questions.

The stone door is 3.63 meters high, 1.7 meters wide, weighing about four tons, the thickness of one side of the door shaft is about twice the door side part.

Seeing this, I understand that the ancient stonemasons skillfully used the principles of physics, thickening the door shaft, so that the 8 thousand kilograms of stone door can open and close freely.

Ancient people are amazing! My companion and I marveled.

In front of the viewing pavilion, the scenery is fascinating.

A small stream gurgles down the slope, and through the clear water, you can see the rounded stones underwater.

A few yellowed leaves float on the surface of the stream.

A few maple trees covered with red leaves reflect in the water.

I stood on the viewing pavilion and looked far away.

I saw the Summer Palace in the Kunming Lake, like a mirror sprinkled with silver, shining; Wanshou Mountain on the pines and cypresses, like a green carpet in general; in the midst of all the green bushes, towering in the glorious Buddha Heung Pavilion, in the sunshine, glittering with the dazzling golden light; the garden's large copper pavilion, brightly shining two eyes; and Buddha Heung Pavilion remote opposite the Yuchuan Mountain, cloaked in a gray veil! ...... Huiyuan Bell Tower is a three-story, three-eave hypogee roof of the traditional wooden structure.

The earthen platform foundation is wrapped in green bricks, and there are arches in the east, west, south, north and south, and there is a cross passage inside, which constitutes the cross-street center of Huiyuan City.

The Bell and Drum Tower is 23.76 meters high, with flying eaves and arches, majestic, carved beams and brightly colored.

Climbing up the Bell and Drum Tower to look over the fence; only to see that the jade belt like the Ili River water, meandering west, flowing towards the sky.

Outside the city, the fields are green, sheep and cows roam in herds on the grass; inside the city, the poplar rows, streams flow, a charming scenery outside the city.

Standing on the Bell and Drum Tower, one's mind flies over the rolling smoke of history in front of the eyes.

History has created a cultural history of the city, with a deep cultural heritage.
