The foundation city built on the mountain is a peninsula with villages and towns in the south, Qinhe River in the north and water on three sides. From a distance, the rock-solid stone pillars stand tall, hence the name Foundation City. The date of the city's construction is unknown, but from the inscription "A Survey of Mountain Cities" in the 11th year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (1638), it can be seen that its construction date should be before the end of Ming Dynasty. The city is oval and brick, covering an area of about 60,000 square meters. There is a main entrance to the south, starting from the wall on the ground and about ten meters high. The wall near the river is built from the river, about 20 meters high, with battlements and fortresses. , used to resist foreign enemies. Now it has been destroyed. The front door reads "Foundation City", which is the passage for residents in the city to go out; There is a stone ladder along the city wall in the north of the city. You can get off the ladder by boat through the Watergate. The road rules in the city, the ring road is built around the city, and the rest are residential alleys with all kinds of facilities. When the ancient war broke out, the city gate was closed and unbreakable.
Although the foundation city is a brick-wood structure, it is very particular about physical specifications, building materials and practical value. The houses are divided into ten blocks, orderly and of different heights. There are many T-streets in the roadway, and the deep wall of the roadway is very high, which makes the road particularly narrow. Houses are interconnected from the top of the alley for the convenience of pedestrians. Most of the houses are single-entry and double-exit courtyards, and the courtyards of each square are connected as a whole, interconnected and extending in all directions. Most houses in the yard are double-decked, and most of them have corridors. The main house also has three floors, but the house is relatively low, with no doors and corridors, and it is attic-style. There are "XX houses" at the entrance of the residential area, which is a bit elegant. In the Ming Dynasty, a businessman built a close quadrangle in the village. The door says "permanent residence". The wood and stone building technology is exquisite, with four beams and eight columns, four doors and eight windows, which is very folk style. In the 13th year of Chongzhen (1640), Zhang, a native of Runcheng Tun in Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem describing his hometown:
But if there is a window, it will reflect the bamboo, and it is necessary to teach that there is no threshold and no flowers.
Sky and sky, Cui Laixiang as a foil, printed with green smoke.
It is not difficult to see that the residential buildings here are not only well-preserved representatives of Ming-style residential buildings, but also have strong characteristics of Jiangnan water towns.
There is also an inscription on the abutment of Wenchang Pavilion, a building of Amin dynasty in the city, entitled "Overview of Mountain City". It is the architectural plan of Diji City, and it is a bamboo slip made by Yang Zai in the 11th year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (1638). This stone tablet is 54 cm high and 86 cm long. The map shows the geographical orientation of the city wall, the distribution of the main buildings, the area of each house, and the roads and facilities in detail. The architectural planning of small towns in Ming Dynasty is a rare and precious material in the history of ancient architecture in China.
Runcheng Town, where Zhaiji Town is located, is one of the most developed ancient towns in Yangcheng. Rich businessmen and tycoons emerge in an endless stream, with a prosperous style of writing and many royal officials, ranking first in the county. It is the hometown of Wang Guoguang, Zhang, Zhang Dunren and Yan Junshou. There are many cultural relics in this area, including Ming Kai Temple in Wangchuan built in Sui Dynasty, Dongyue Temple in Runcheng Village, especially Haihui Temple, which is known as the "crown of Dang Ming Tower" in Sanjin. There is Tiantan Mountain, a Buddhist holy place founded in the Tang Dynasty, which once became the economic, cultural and folk exchange center of most of China.
All right! Now, please come with me to claw machine for a trip to get in touch with Oriental residential castles!
The above nine pictures are the surrounding landscape taken at the top of the city wall. Wow! My darun city is so beautiful!
Speaking of these two big iron cows, there is a touching legend. ...
A fairy tale that is said to be true and beautiful deeply attracted me. As we all know, the Qinhe River flows at the foot of a boulder in Diji City. In order to prevent the river from hitting the Diji City, people built two big iron cows and put them on huge stones. One summer day, suddenly the wind blew hard, the rain poured down and the river surged. I saw a river head dozens of feet high falling from the sky, aggressive, and coming straight to Jicheng. People are worried and helpless. At this time, Zhang zhen, the right assistant minister and deputy imperial envoy of Shunzhi Ministry of Industry in Qing Dynasty, was in a hurry and directed everyone to push the iron cow into the river, but he still couldn't hold back the river head, which stood up and demonstrated to people. At this moment, Zhang Shen sighed and shouted: God wants our lives. What's the use of being an official? So he took off his official hat and threw it into the river. With a clash, the head of the river suddenly dispersed, and then, after a calm, after a storm, people cheered and clapped their hands.
The court chef is the residence of Zhang Guo, the founder of Runcheng August 8th Banquet, one of the four famous foods in Runcheng. (I have written the text of Runcheng August 8 before, which can be tested. )
The real iron wall! With such an unusually strong defense system, no matter the wars in Li Zicheng and Qing Dynasty or the Japanese invasion in modern times, it has never been breached!
How's it going? It's better to see it in person than to see it a thousand times. Dickey City sincerely welcomes your sightseeing!
