In the history of Xi, there is a beautiful name called Chang 'an, which is the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Xi 'an was closely related to the Tang Dynasty. Today, there are still many ancient buildings in Xi 'an, the most famous of which is the ancient city wall. Xi also built many tourist attractions about the Tang Dynasty, such as Tang Furong Garden, the city that never sleeps and the Wild Goose Pagoda.
We can't imagine the prosperous time of the Tang Dynasty, but now we can see the "prosperous time of the Tang Dynasty" in the night of Xi 'an. Bright lights and crowds. Although these are miniature versions of the magnificent scenery of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the most representative is the Tang Furong Garden.
Tang Furong Garden is the first large-scale royal garden cultural theme park in China that fully displays the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It was built in the north of the site of Tang Furong Garden. The hibiscus garden in history has an area of 7,000 mu, but now it is only one seventh of its size, that is, 1000 mu, of which the water area accounts for 300 mu.
At first, Furong Garden was a royal forbidden garden in Qin Dynasty, which was called Yichun Garden. After three years in office, Emperor Wendi decided that his previous name was unlucky, so he changed his name to Furong Garden. In the Tang Dynasty, it not only expanded the scale of construction, but also added a lot of cultural connotations. For example, well-known literary stories in history, such as Qujiang Liu Yin, Xingyuan Yan Guan, the title of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Le You Gao Deng, are all related to this place.
The splendor here once became the only public garden in Chang 'an. After Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan, it laid the foundation for the prosperity of Tang Wenhua, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty expanded on a large scale, making it an unprecedented spectacle.
Once incomparably brilliant, with the destruction of the Great Wall in the late Tang Dynasty, urban garden buildings were also destroyed. Of course, the Lotus Garden is inevitable. Only the ruins were left here, and the timber for construction was transported to Luoyang. Furong Garden was destroyed by history and disappeared from people's sight. The once glorious history has now become a legend.
Millennium later, in order to restore this history, Datang Furong Garden invested1300 million, which took two years and was completed and opened in 2004. Today, although the area is only one-seventh of the previous one, it is also spectacular.
Tang Furong Garden is divided into 14 landscape cultural areas, which shows the spirit of the Tang Dynasty from many aspects. The landmark building of the scenic spot is Ziyun Tower, which shows the imperial style of the Tang Dynasty, that is, "the spirit and form ascend to the scenery of Ziyun, and the world obeys the emperor's heart".
Ziyun Building is basically a complete restoration of buildings in the Tang Dynasty according to historical records. There are four floors here, and each floor shows different imperial cultures in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The first layer is the sculpture, mural and inheritance and restoration model during the reign of Zhenguan; On the second floor, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty hosted a banquet for his ministers, who came from all directions to worship large colored sculptures in Wanbang. The third floor is a place to perform songs and dances, and the fourth floor is a museum.
On one occasion, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty held a money meeting in Ziyunlou. Only officials with more than five items can come in and rob money. These gold coins will not circulate in the market, but can only be collected and used. Now these gold coins are still kept in Shaanxi History Museum, and there is a huge map of Chang 'an in the square.
In the evening, there is also the world's largest water curtain movie in Furong Garden, and the performance venue is on the lake in front of Guanlan Station in Ziyun Building. There are not only performances at night, but also many performances during the day. I suggest you watch the official online time in advance and don't miss the performance. In addition, boating on the lake is also a good choice, and you can see the lotus garden landscape on the lake.
At present, Datang Furong Garden is free from August 1, so have you been there? Want to see what the once prosperous "Datang" looks like? Welcome to discuss.
