The Tianluokeng Tulou Group is commonly known as "Four Dishes and One Soup". It is due to the five earth buildings, which are closely integrated and well-proportioned. They are arranged according to the five elements and eight trigrams of "gold, wood, water, fire and earth" in Feng Shui geography. They are extremely spectacular and are the symbol of Fujian earth buildings and the core attraction of Nanjing earth building scenic area. . Next, I will give you an introduction from the tour guide, geographical location, earth building situation, night view formation, earth building accommodation, etc.
Tour guide's words:
Hello everyone! The first stop of our tour today is the Tianluokeng Tulou Group. Tianluokeng Tulou Group - commonly known as "Four Dishes and One Soup" is the business card of Fujian Tulou. It is famous all over the world and is praised as the most beautiful group of Tulou! Professor Luo Zhewen, an expert on ancient Chinese architecture, wrote a poem praising the Tianluokeng Tulou Group:
At the Tulou houses beside Tianluokeng, the mist disperses and the clouds open, reflecting the colorful clouds.
Looking down, it looks like a flower, and looking from the side, it looks like a Potala.
Sometimes a flying saucer comes from outside Yunyu, also known as Luban Mo Douhua.
This building seems to be rare in the world, and it is a wonderful building in the world!
This poem incorporates the beauty of time and space in Tianluokeng.
(Origin of Tianluokeng) There are two opinions about the place name "Tianluokeng". One is the theory of topography. The road we are driving on now goes round and round, up or down. Does it look like we are walking on snail shells?
The other is folklore - the story of the snail girl:
"The Story of the snail girl": It is said that 600 years ago, a young man named Huang Baisanlang climbed over the mountains. When Ling came here, he saw that it was surrounded by mountains and rivers, so he built a thatched cottage here and raised ducks to make a living. The free-range female ducks ate the snails in the field pits and laid double-yolked eggs every day. From this, they slowly accumulated a little family fortune. One day, Huang Baisanlang was raising ducks in the field. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds and there was lightning and thunder. Huang Baisanlang hurriedly drove the ducks to the thatched cottage. At this time, a series of calls of "Help! Help!" came from next to a rock. Huang Baisanlang followed the sound and saw a huge python approaching a peasant girl. Huang Baisanlang took two steps at a time, using the bamboo pole used to chase ducks, and fought desperately with the python. The python was finally driven away by the brave Saburo, and the girl was saved! The girl said excitedly and shyly: "My family lives in Shimenyan Screw Cave, Shipchang Town, to the east. I passed by here on my way to visit relatives. I was in danger today. Fortunately, my elder brother saved me. Thank you for not giving up. My little sister is willing to be your godmother and help you take care of things. Doing housework for a period of time can be considered as repaying the kindness of saving your life!",,,,,, Later, the old man in the village saw that the two of them were in love, so they got them married and they have been together for a hundred years! From then on, the young couple had children and reproduced. With the help of the snail girl, the Huang family's business became more and more prosperous, and laid the foundation for future generations to build earth buildings. In order to commemorate their ancestors, the descendants called this place Tianluokeng.
(Go up to the observation deck) overlooking the "four dishes and one soup". As you can see, the Tianluokeng Tulou Group is located on the half slope of Hudong (dōng, flattened hilltop) mountain with an altitude of 787.8 meters. The main features of the Tianluokeng Earth Building Group are: the layout is based on the "Five Chambers of Mingtang" in the "Kao Gongji Map", and the earth buildings with one square and four circles are built in accordance with the order of the five elements of "gold, wood, water, fire and earth". It is a classic combination of unique architectural forms. work.
It is said that the Jade Emperor once came here to inspect the sufferings of the people - the Lord of the Land showed up for lunch - and forgot to leave the table before leaving - leaving Nuo Da's "four dishes and one soup!" Haha!
The square building in the middle is called Buyun Building. It was built between 1662 and 1722 during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It has been more than 200 years old, and it means rising to the top. The implication is that future generations will succeed in studying, and their official career will rise step by step. Buyun Tower faces northeast and southwest, covering an area of ??1,050 square meters. It is 3 stories high, 11.93 meters high, with an inner corridor, 26 rooms on each floor and 78 rooms on each floor. There are 4 opposite staircases, 1 door, 4 shooting ports on the top floor, and the bottom wall is 1.15 meters thick. Entering the building, we found that the front of the building is low and the back is high. It retains the topography and rises from the mountain. There are three steps from the foyer to the back hall, rising step by step. We immediately understood the meaning of the name "Buyun". There is no well in this building because the terrain is too high. The well is located outside the building, and a ditch is built around the well for drainage. The rooms in the four corners of the ground floor have one window, and the rest have no windows, which is quite special.
On the right is Zhenchang Tower: "Zhen" means "to work hard" and "to rise up"; "Chang" means "prosperity". "Zhenchang" means "strive to prosper". The circular earth building is located on the west side of Buyun Building. It was built in the 19th year of the Republic of China (1930).
It faces northeast and faces southwest, covering an area of ??976 square meters. It is 3 stories high, 11.53 meters in diameter, 33 meters in diameter, with an inner corridor, 26 rooms on each floor, 78 rooms in total, two staircases and one gate. The bottom wall is 1.2 meters thick, and the inner courtyard is paved with cobblestones. We mentioned on the observation deck that the Feng Shui concept of Zhenchang Tower is "don't show off your wealth". As you can see, the middle hall is not symmetrical to the door. It is not on the same straight line as the door, but to the left. This is one. Second, for the same reason as Synchronous Cloud Tower, there was no water well in the courtyard. The well is placed outside the building.
The outermost building - the oval building is Wenchang Building, built in 1966. (Wenchang Tower: In addition to the meaning of "prosperous cultural fortunes", "Wenchang" is also the name of a god, called "Wenchang Emperor", who is the folk god who hosted the ceremony. The oval-shaped earth building is located on the southwest side of Buyun Tower . It faces northeast and faces southwest, covering an area of ??1288 square meters. The long diameter of the building is 45.7 meters, and the short diameter is 34.5 meters high. It has an inner corridor with 32 rooms on each floor and 96 rooms in total. 1 gate. There are 3 observation towers and 4 shooting openings on the top floor of the building. The inner courtyard is paved with rough stones and has a well. First, let's go through the door panel and use a thick cedar iron sheet. The gate is made strictly, unlike the courtyards in the north which have side gates, side gates and back gates. The earthen walls are usually more than 1 meter thick, which can block bullets; the door frames and thresholds are made of large stones, and the two gates are 10 centimeters thick, and a door latch is added to push them forward. The door panel is tightly stuck in the several-meter-long latch hole reserved in the wall, which is very strong. Unless the wall is collapsed, or the door latch is extended in from the outside and the saw is cut through the middle of the door latch, it will still be stuck on the door and cannot be used. Open the door from the outside.
The building closest to us is Hechang Building (Hechang Building: "Hechang" is an auspicious word, which means "harmony and prosperity". The round earth building is located in the east of Buyun Building. Side. It was built in about 1354 in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. It faces the northeast and faces the southwest. It covers an area of ??1268 square meters. It is 3 stories high and 12.3 meters high. It has an inner corridor with 22 rooms on each floor and 66 rooms in total. There are stairs, 1 gate, 4 shooting openings on the top floor, the bottom wall is 1.2 meters thick, the inner courtyard is paved with cobblestones, and there is a well. Unlike Buyun Tower, this building has no windows on the ground floor, which is a rule. It was built in a square shape and was burned down by bandits in the 1930s. When it was rebuilt on the original site in 1953, it was converted into a round building. When we visit today, we can’t find any trace of the square building in front of it.
The building in front of it is. Ruiyun Tower: Built in the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936). Ruiyun means peony, which means auspiciousness and wealth. It likes a place with plenty of sunshine and rich land. It is located in the inner corner of the five buildings and has a hidden wind. The power of gathering energy embodies the simple concept of implicit good luck and good luck. It faces the southwest and covers an area of ??1063 square meters. It is 3 floors high, 11.2 meters in diameter, and 35 meters in diameter. It has an inner corridor with 26 rooms on each floor, with a total of 78 rooms. There are two stairs and a gate. The bottom wall is 1.2 meters thick. The inner courtyard is paved with cobblestones and has a well.
Five buildings with "four dishes and one soup" are built against the mountain. It echoes the layers of terraced fields, and is strange and beautiful. Do you think it looks like a plum blossom? Some people also say that there are two rectangular earth buildings on the side of the "Four Dishes and One Soup", do they look like a pair of chopsticks? The World Heritage logo is a condensation of a square and circle pattern, what a coincidence!
Now leave 15 minutes for everyone to take photos - please note that the second column is the best location and angle for photography. Safe, thank you! We will meet outside the pavilion in ten minutes!
(Get in the car and move on) Dear tour members, this wonderful combination was not planned during the construction of the Tianluokeng Tulou Group. A magical coincidence has become a beautiful landscape for future generations to ponder, arousing strong interest among scholars and experts at home and abroad. UNESCO consultant Stevenson Andre praised "This is a unique and mythical mountain village architectural model in the world." Professor Lu Bingjie of Tongji University in Shanghai said: "If you don't see the Tianluokeng Tulou Group, you don't really see it. Go to the earth building!”
The center of the earth building is a large open-air patio. Because of their round shape, the doors and windows all open towards the patio. The outer and inner walls of the earth building are arcs made of concentric circles, which are long on the outside and short on the inside. The partition walls of the room are all radial, forming a room with petals clustered in a circle like a citrus, which the locals call the "axe room". There is usually a well in the patio. The well in this building is on the left side.
There are rice mills, grain hulls, stone mills, windmills and other facilities in the building. There is an open hall opposite the door, which is where Tulou people organize weddings and weddings. The ground floor of the earth building, in addition to the hall and stairwell, is usually the kitchen and dining room. The attic roof generally does not have a ceiling.
In this way, you can clearly see where leaks, cracks, and breaks occur, so that they can be repaired immediately. The roof of the earth building is flat and paved with blue tiles. The middle ridge and water outlet are pressed firmly with green bricks, which is windproof and embellishes the roof. Standing on the third floor of Wenchang Building, looking up, the earth buildings above are arranged in layers, harmonious with the mountains behind the building, and look particularly majestic.
Speaking of the Huang family. Since the establishment of the foundation in the early Ming Dynasty, there have been 26 generations of descendants. They live and move in this way and reproduce from generation to generation. The Huang family is still developing in Taichung and Taipei, Taiwan. During the holidays, they return to their hometown to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan. They have a long history and are very lively.
Okay, now leave 25 minutes, including time for everyone to do free activities, take photos, and walk to the entrance of the village. Then gather back to the car at the entrance of the village and continue to visit the observation deck!
(Take a bus to the observation deck): Distinguished guests, "The Potala Palace is here! - Do you think it looks like it?"
Tianluokeng Tulou After the group became a world heritage site, the night view was also added. If any of the group members want to find a snail girl or Brother Sanlang, you can stay for a few days. Maybe you will meet by chance!
With its unique visual charm and historical value, the Tianluokeng Tulou Group was rated as a national key cultural relics protection unit in May 2001; in November 2003, it was announced as one of the first batch of historical and cultural villages in China ; In 2006, it was rated as the best landscape village in China! Until July 2008, it was listed as a World Cultural Heritage and is a landmark tulou building in Fujian. Geographical location:
Tianluokeng Tulou Group is located in Banban Village, Shuyang Town, Nanjing County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province. The 60km journey from Nanjing County to the Tulou Group is surrounded by winding mountains that interlock with each other, just like the patterns on snails, hence the name.
Situation of Tulou: Since the Tianluokeng Tulou Group was rated as a World Cultural Heritage, the number of tourists has increased year by year. It is now a world-class tourist destination. The shortcoming is that it is still surrounded by rural areas and the supporting facilities have not yet been updated. , so the overall economy is still relatively depressed. But relatively speaking, the advantage of this is that the scenic spots are not damaged and are very original.
Night view formation: Tianluokeng Tulou Group also has another major attraction - the night view of the only Tulou. Earth buildings are spread all over southwestern Fujian, headed by Tianluokeng. At night, when you are close to the group of earth buildings, you can enjoy the night view of the Tianluo Earth Buildings with "all five flowers in bloom". It is very gorgeous and spectacular. Like a bright light in the ravine.
Accommodation introduction: Last time I went to the Tulou Group with four dishes and one soup for the night view, I booked the best local inn - Youyuan Inn from Ctrip. The facilities are good, the service is very good, and the price is very authentic. If you want to go to view the building, you can contact this store.
