Good day to all visitors.
China's famous historical and cultural city of Pingyao is about to arrive, right in front of the towering brick wall is one of the four existing more complete ancient city of China, Pingcheng. December 3, 1997, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee adopted a resolution, China's Yunnan Province, Lijiang Ancient City, Shanxi Province, Pingcheng Ancient City and the classical gardens of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, was included in the "World Heritage List". Now you can view the distant view and more complete appearance of the ancient city.
The ancient city of Pingyao has a long history. It is reported that during the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Xuangong sent troops to the north to fight against the nomads in the north and built the Jingling City. Jingling City was built about 7 kilometers northeast of present-day Pingyuan County, and the word "Jingling" has been used as the name of the place until now. This can be said to be the beginning of Pingyao's city building, and the predecessor of the present Huyao City. Since then, it has a history of about 2,800 years.
There is no clear historical record of when the present Pingyao City was built. About in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Wu Yu trek Yan, in order to avoid the name, the original Pingtao County was changed to Hu Long County. And moved the county seat from elsewhere to here. The city should be built after this time. In the long history of wet years. Here has had her prosperity, but also many times by the destruction of war. We now see the wall, is the Ming Dynasty Hongwu three years, that is, 1370 years to the original soil wall heightened and thickened with brick expansion into the Ming and Qing Dynasties, although there have been several repairs, but the style has not changed.
There are many ancient buildings preserved in the ancient city of Pingyao, such as the Dacheng Hall of the Temple of Literature, the Qingxuguan, the City Building, the Chenglong Temple, and the Martial Temple Theater. The city's old buildings have been preserved in many ways. The city's old buildings have been preserved in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Stroll through the streets, you will see a variety of ancient courtyard door, courtyard Po, straw carved ancient architectural decorations, and even see the door in front of the receiving horse stone pile, dismounted stone, etc., a faction of the ancient city style.
Pingcai not only has a long history. And celebrities. Is daring to defy the intimidation of "full of chopping", the pen straight book if the famous Jin Dynasty historian Sun Sheng, to "reflect the snow reading" has been spread through the ages of ancient celebrities, such as Sun Kang, the late contemporary Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of History Director Hou Wai-lu, the late Institute of Languages, deputy director of the Hou Stover one, Wang Yao, the president of China Literature Research Association, Li Gou, the famous painter, Lang Lanying, the famous singer, etc. were all born in this ancient land. The ancient city of Pingshi deserves to be called a famous historical and cultural city.
(Crossing Huiji Bridge)
We are now traveling on Huiji Bridge, which is a nine-arched stone bridge built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and rebuilt during the Tongzhi period. Mr. Bo Shan, the famous Qing Dynasty had written a monument for it. The scale of the bridge is not large. History is not very long, but the shape is beautiful. The bridge surface is flat, not like the general stone bridge as high as the bulge, easy to walk in the car. And there is a strange place, that is, there is a bridge under the bridge. Below the bridge do not see written records, people did not know. 1977 August, a torrential downpour caused by massive floods, rolling floods took away a lot of silt for many years of river sand. After the water receded, people were surprised to find: the original Huiji Bridge stacked on the old bridge deck, forming a bridge on the bridge of the spectacle. The use of the old bridge as a solid foundation for the new bridge, not only to save financial resources, manpower, but also save time, how clever idea gripping! This is also a miracle in the history of bridge building.
The ancient city of Pinglang is here. Please follow me to visit the city wall.

Ping Long Ancient City is here. Please follow me to visit the city wall.
(Take the tourists into the "lower east gate")
Here is the "lower east gate" of the city of Hu Lang Fang. The 12-meter-high wall is majestic and spectacular. Outside the city, there was a moat. There is a drawbridge at the city gate. In the ancient days of war. This is indeed an impenetrable line of defense.
We came in this place is the lower east gate urn, it is for the defense of the city gate and set up. The gate is the weak link in the city wall, with the urn. It greatly enhances the city's means of defense. Here is a small place root, surrounded by high walls, even if the enemy attacked the urn can only come in a handful of people, and immediately into the surroundings, become a turtle in a jar. Some of the urn door is not open on the opposite side of the city gate, but turn a corner to open on the side. More to prevent the enemy soldiers rushed into a more gas rushed to the city under the gate. By turning the corner to eliminate the enemy soldiers. These design ideas are the ancients in the long-term combat experience summarized.
We see. There is also a well-built and small courtyard in the urn. What is this? The original this is a small Guandi Temple. Guan Di is a martial arts sage. The temple to repair the urn into the city, is a unique creation of the people of Ping Long. Please follow me into the city, on the wall to visit.
Now we are in the city, there was a city building here. It was destroyed in the war. This platform built on the city wall is said to be Yin Jifu's pointing platform. Yin Jifu was the general of King Xuan of Zhou, famous in the history of the upper clan, "Ru Jing Chong's" higher", "crown R2" and other poems are composed by him, the aforementioned famous northern expedition against the northern nomads 0l Judea, which was commanded by him. In order to consolidate the results of the Northern Expedition, he also built the Jingling Castle here. There are many other relics of Yin Jifu here. There is also a village called Yoon Village near Gyeongnyeong Village, which is said to be the place where Yoon Jifu stationed his troops back then. Outside of Sangdongmun, there is the Yin Jifu Collection, and in front of the collection, there is a stone monument from the Ming Dynasty with the eight characters of "ZJ Jifu Shendao," written in large letters. There is also a small temple in honor of Yin Jifu in the upper east gate.
Please follow me to see the construction of the ancient city.
(Take the tourists to the south and dip their feet. Walking side by side, about 2-3 piers can stop)
We look at the city wall on each side of a short block, called the daughter of the wall, why is called the daughter of the wall? Song Dynasty government written "building law style" on a written explanation: "said it is small. Compared to the city, if the woman and her husband also." Means that the wall is tall and thick, Paul Wei husband; female wall thin and short, like a weak woman. Folk in some places, but there are stories like this: Earlier there is no daughter wall on the city, once an old man was pulled to do the work, and he was dependent on his little granddaughter also came to the city every day with him. Sitting next to watch. One day, a tired worker drowsy race to the edge of the city wall, the little girl b he fell down to the city, pushed him hard, unexpectedly too much force, although the workers were saved, the little girl fell to her death. In honor of her, craftsmen in the city built a short wall, and called it the daughter wall. This is really a touching story, but it does illustrate the protective function of the daughter wall. Let's see: the two sides of the daughter field is not the same, outward daughter wall also built the battlements, the battlements also left for the use of small holes for observation and shooting． This is, of course, for the needs of the actual battle.
We all noticed that every idle section of the wall, there is a protruding part, which is called pier. What is the pier for it 7 it is the defense of the city wall. We know. Ancient attack and defense of the city his main weapons are bows and arrows and curved machine, above both shoot down, below can also be shot up, so the soldiers defending the city easily do not dare to explore the body to go. In this way, the foot of the city wall anti-Li into the dead center of the defense. With the pier. Can make up for this deficiency, from three sides of a strong three-dimensional shooting network, the city defense force greatly strengthened. In each collapsed platform, but also repair an enemy building, there are holes above, also for observation and shooting with.
The ancient city of Gan Yao has its own unique places in addition to these ****ual holding points.
The city wall is a product of war, but the people of Pingyao like to smear a layer of strong cultural colors. To symbolize the culture of the star officials of the Kuixing building repair in the southeast corner of the Ding City wall (refers to the unique shape of the Kuixing building). According to statistics, the ancient city on the *** there are 3,000 palisades, 72 waste enemy building, that symbolizes the saint of literature Confucius three thousand disciples seventy-two sages.
乎遥俯视似龟形，历来有龟城之称. It is said to take the meaning of the turtle life and water. The city's six gates, the south door like a head, the city gate and the urn outside the door are to the south. Let the head of the turtle free retraction, the north door like the tail, the urn outside the door to split and eastward, so the puppet tail east to throw: east and west of the two doors like a turtle foot. Three urns outside the door turned to the south, as if the turtle is slowly stretching legs and limbs forward crawling, only we just came in under the East Gate urn outside the door does not turn to the south and open to the east, the legend is that the Bur God turtle crawling elsewhere, so with an invisible rope to the left rear foot firmly tethered to the city of the east of Lo kilometers of the foot of the tower, the legs are pulled to the cheap. Outside the South Gate, there is a well on each side, which is said to be the pair of bright eyes of the turtle. In the city center, that is, the location of the heart of the turtle, but also repair a city building, that is, we see that perched on top of the building of the House, in the city building on the roof of the two slopes, but also with yellow and blue glazed tiles spelled out the word double happiness phase life, which fully reflects the unique cultural atmosphere of the ancient city, expressed the good wishes of the people of the Huzhong, which can be said to be the turtle city construction concept of the painting of the dark work.
乎迢城内文物众多，西南方向那一片覆盖琉璃的建筑，就是城因庙，财神庙建筑群，近处观看，可以见到它馆角高桃，群昂飞动，油漆彩绘的壮丽景色。 In its neighborhood is very conspicuous in that modern building is the PingShi secondary school teaching building. Dacheng Hall of the Temple of Literature is on the campus, from which it is not visible scorn. In order to protect the original style, the ancient city is generally not allowed to build buildings, dry long people but for the school made an exception to repair a teaching building, see the importance of education. Ping Long Middle School also lived up to expectations, has been excellent results to maintain this provincial key middle school in the province's leading position.
