Friends who have been to Quanzhou will be deeply impressed by the bell tower of Dongxi Street Cross Road. The bell tower is the central landmark of Quanzhou, the cultural capital of East Asia. It was built in the 23rd year of the Republic of China (1934). Its body is a western-style building, which combines the southern Fujian style. It is one of the main landmark buildings in Fujian Province. I live near the bell tower, which is a convenient place to visit Quanzhou.
Today, we go to Zhuangyuan Street. Quanzhou Zhuangyuan Street is located in the back street of East Street in Licheng District. This is a pedestrian street. Zhuangyuan Street connects Zhongshan Road in the west, East Street in the north, and a mysterious temple in the middle. It is known as the first street in Bamin with its unique archway in Quanzhou, and Xu Hui, the champion of Quanzhou in the Tang Dynasty, was the first champion in the history of Bamin (that is, Fujian).
Let's go to Zhuangyuan Street from Nan Jun Road. For the convenience of introduction, let's call this paragraph "the third block". The west entrance of Nan Jun Road is "Taiwan Province Law Enforcement Workshop". During the period of 1997, while the East Street was widened and reconstructed, Zhuangyuan Street, a pedestrian street with the restoration of the ancient city archway as the main landscape, was planned and built. Zhuangyuan Street is on the south side of East Street, about 300 meters long, and there are seven archways from east to west. The first one is the square of "Embroidering and Embroidering, Enforcing Law in Taiwan": the stone archway, originally located in Dongmen Street, survived in the early days of liberation and was abandoned. 1997 when the East Street was widened and reconstructed, the original square members were adopted, and the insufficient parts were reconstructed on the west side of Qingming Garden Well on the north side of Nanjun Lane according to the photo files.
Facing Nan Jun Road in the east street, there stands a big stone archway, a three-door two-story pavilion, which is majestic and has the word "No.1 scholar" embedded in it. The stone tablet of "No.1 Scholar" adopts the component of the No.1 Scholar Zeng Memorial Square in the fifth year of Song Qingyuan (1 199), and the column of the square is engraved with the famous couplet written in the Southern Song Dynasty: "After Ouyang, six people came to Yakui Tiger List, and since Ceng Gong, four people have helped each other to manage Longchi."
See dragons in the fields. We continue to visit the second block of Zhuangyuan Street, which I personally think is the most interesting section of Zhuangyuan Street. There are three archways at the entrance of the second block: Renfeng Xingchun, Baiyun Gudi, Beichen Diaoxiang Square, Taikang and Tianli Jianlong Square. There are two large wall carvings on both sides of the square in the area: Zijian Laozi and Laoguan.
"Baiyun Ancient Land, Beichen Hanging Elephant Square" in the second section of Zhuangyuan Street. The cultural charm of Zhuangyuan Street is unique. In addition to six or seven retro stone archways infiltrating into the cultural infiltration of historical cities, four large-scale mural paintings specially arranged show Quanzhou's historical review and literary cohesion.
Behind the wall of Sanqing Hall of Yuanming Temple, there is a large mural embedded in the northeast and northwest walls, all of which are bluestone reliefs. The picture is clear and concise, with profound artistic conception. See Laozi map in the northwest, purple gas in the east in the northeast, and green cattle in the west. The author deliberately carved a historical record between the two paintings.
In the second section of Zhuangyuan Street, there is also an important tourist attraction, that is, Yunmiao, the first Taoist temple in Bamin, with a history of 1700 years. On Zhuangyuan Street, it is just a section of the wall of Yunmiao. If you want to visit it, you need to go around Dongjie Xinfu from this Guandong Lane to the main entrance of Yunmiao.
Yuanming Temple, commonly known as "Tiangong Temple", was founded in the Taikang period of the Western Jin Dynasty (280-289), formerly known as Baiyun Temple. It is the first Taoist temple built after Taoism was introduced into Quanzhou and Fujian.
Yuanming Temple has become the most famous Taoist temple in South China because of its long history, large scale, complete Bao Dan and numerous Taoist temples. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the "Dao Ji Division" for managing Taoism was located in Yuanmiao Temple. Quanzhou Yuanming Temple is the oldest Taoist temple in Fujian and the only Taoist temple dedicated to Sanqing and the Jade Emperor, so it is known as the "first Taoist temple in Bamin".
There is also a "low-key" explosion well outside the southwest wall of Yuanmiaoguan. Some people say that the well is the eye of the city, which records and reflects the historical features of the city. An alchemy well, commonly known as Seven Stars Well, is located in Yuanming Temple in Dongjie. According to legend, this ancient well was dug by Wu Chongyue, a famous Taoist in the Tang Dynasty, according to the directions of Shu Tian, Tian Xuan, Tianji, Tian Quan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang. * * * There are seven wells, which are shaped like the Big Dipper and named "An Dan Well".
The first block is a residential pedestrian street, and the second and third floors are connected by covered bridges. There are also three archways, namely, Zou Lu by the Seaside, Yue Xian Seaside and Four Bachelor's degree, and there are more than 700 square meters of public leisure squares in the center:
There is a clay sculpture named "The Ancestors Exploited Jinjiang" on the north wall of Simen Bachelor Square. The image is simple and the lines are rough, giving people a feeling of "the world is mysterious and the universe is vast". Here, the stars twinkle in the sky and geese fly; The sea is rough, the fish are swimming, the ship is sailing, and the sailors are operating the boat; On the land, wheels are rolling, war horses are flying, crowds are bustling and noisy, and there are walls, pavilions, Brahma, the Twin Towers and religious idols who don't know where they are. A passage from "Taiping Universe" in the Song Dynasty is engraved on the open space of the sculpture: "Jin 'an County was set up because the gentry dressed in clothes tried to block traffic and extract more land. Jing Yun changed to Quanzhou in two years. "
The second and third floors of this residential pedestrian street are connected by a covered bridge, and two archways-"Zou Lu by the Sea" and "Yue Xian Waterfront" are hidden in it. Yuebang House Association wrote a suicide note for Jingzhong House Association, which was written by Huang, a flower explorer in Tongzhi of Qing Dynasty. This book was written by Zhu Yisa, a famous contemporary calligrapher.
Since you are in Zhuangyuan Street, it is better to find "100 points" in Zhuangyuan Street.
Strolling in today's Zhuangyuan Street, you will hear the sound of "Hua La" mahjong from time to time. Now it may not be a champion, but a gambler. This Champion Street has a strong modern flavor under the classical appearance. Let's feel the fighting spirit of previous champions who are diligent and self-reliant and dare to fight for the world. To be continued, I am in Quanzhou, the starting point of Hayes.
