　　Hello, tourists.

　　Pingyao, a famous historical and cultural city in China, is about toarrive. The towering brick wall in the front right is Pinghe City, one of thefour existing complete ancient city pools in China. On December 3, 1997, theUNESCO World Heritage Committee adopted a resolution to list the ancient city ofLijiang in Yunnan Province, the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi Province andthe classical gardens of Suzhou in Jiangsu Province on the world heritage list.Now you can have a look at the perspective and relatively complete appearance ofthe ancient city.

　　Pingyao has a long history. According to reports: in order to resist theinvasion of the northern nomads, Zhou Xuangong sent troops to the northernexpedition of Sayu and built the jingling city in the Western Zhou Dynasty.Jingling city is built in the east of Pingyuan County, 7 kilometers north ofJingling lining, jingling as a place name has been used up to now. This can besaid to be the beginning of the construction of Pingyao City, and also thepredecessor of the present Huyuan city. It has been about 2800 years sincethen.

　　There is no clear record of when this Pingyao City was built. In order toavoid taboo, the original Pingtao county was changed into Pingyao County, andthe county government was moved here from other places. The time to build thecity should be after that. In the long history, there has been her prosperityhere, and it has been destroyed by war many times. The wall we see now was builtin 1370, the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, by heightening,thickening and bricking the original earth wall. Although it has been repairedseveral times since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, its style has not changed.

　　There are many ancient buildings in Pingyao City, such as Dacheng hall,Qingxu temple, Shilou, Chenglong temple, wumiao stage and so on. That is, thestreet dwellings basically preserve the style and features of the Ming and QingDynasties. Walking on the street, you can also see all kinds of antique gate,courtyard, exquisitely carved ancient architectural decoration, and even see thestone stake in front of the gate, Xiama stone, etc., a style of ancientcity.

　　Pingyao not only has a long history, but also has a large number ofcelebrities. They are Ruoming Jin Dynasty historian Sun Sheng who dares toignore the threat of "manmenzijian" and writing straightforwardly, Sun Kang whohas spread through the ages with "yingxueshuo". Hou Wailu, the late director ofthe Institute of history of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hou ganyi, the latedeputy director of the Institute of language, Wang Yao, the president of theChinese Literature Research Association, Li Gou, the famous painter, and GuoLanying, the famous singer, were all born in Beijing In this ancient land.Pingshi ancient city is worthy of being a famous historical and culturalcity.

　　(over Huiji bridge)

　　We are now driving on the Huiji bridge, which is a nine arch stone bridgebuilt during the reign of Kangxi and rebuilt during the reign of Tongzhi in theQing Dynasty. Fu Shan, a famous hostess in the Qing Dynasty, wrote a tablet forit. This bridge is not large in scale and has a long history, but it isbeautiful in shape. The bridge deck is flat and not as high as ordinary stonebridges, so it is easy for cars and horses to walk. What's more, there isanother bridge under the bridge. There is no written record of the bridge below,and people didn't know it. In August 1977, a torrential rain caused a hugeflood, and the rolling flood took away a lot of river sediment which had beensilted up for many years. After the water receded, people were surprised to findthat Huiji bridge was stacked on the deck of the old bridge, forming the wonderof the bridge on the bridge. Making use of the old bridge to build a solidfoundation for the new bridge can save money, manpower and time. What a cleveridea! This is also a miracle in the history of bridge construction.

　　Here is the ancient city of Pingyao. Please follow me to the city wall.

　　(take tourists to the Lower East Gate)

　　This is the "Lower East Gate" of Huyao ancient city. Let's see howmagnificent and spectacular the 12 meter high wall is. Outside the city, therewas a moat. There was a suspension bridge at the gate. In the days of war inancient times, it was really an insurmountable defense line.

　　After we came in, this place was the Lower East Gate urn, which was set upto defend the gate. The city gate is the weak link of the city wall. With theurn City, the defense means of the city are greatly enhanced. This place has asmall root and is surrounded by high walls. Even if the enemy invades the urn,only a few people can enter, and they immediately fall into the encirclement andbecome turtles in the urn. Some of the urn gates are not opened on the oppositeside of the gate, but turn to the side. It can also prevent the enemy soldiersfrom rushing under the gate and dispel the enemy soldiers' spirit by turning thecorner. These design ideas are summed up by the ancients in the long-termpractical experience.

　　Look, there is also a small courtyard in the urn. What is it for? It turnsout that it is a small Guandi temple. Guandi is a martial saint. It is theunique creation of Pingyao people to build Guanmiao into the urn city. Pleasefollow me to the city wall.

　　Now we are in the city. There were towers here. They were destroyed in thewar. The platform built on the city wall is said to be Yin Jifu's commandingplatform. Yin Jifu was a general of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. He was famous forhis Youfan in history. He wrote several poems such as Lu Jingchong's Gao Gao andGuan R2. The famous northern expedition against the nomadic people of the Northmentioned above was under his command. In order to consolidate the achievementsof the northern expedition, he also built jingling city here. There are manyother sites of Yin Jifu. There is also a village called Yin village nearjingling village. It is said that Yin Jifu was stationed there to drink. Thereis Yin Jifu's collection outside Shangdong gate. Before the collection, there isa large inscription on the Ming Dynasty stone tablet, which reads "Zhou QingshiZJ Jifu Shinto". Inside the upper east gate is a small temple in memory of YinJifu.

　　Please follow me to see the construction of the ancient city.

　　(take the tourists to dip southward. Walk and say, about 2-3 piers tostop)

　　We can see that there is a short block on both sides of the city wall,which is called the parapet. Why is it called the parapet? There is a writtenexplanation in the "building a French style" written by the government of theSong Dynasty: "words are inferior. Compared with the city, if a woman and herhusband are equal. " It means that the wall is tall and thick, and Baoweihusband; the female wall is thin and short, like a weak woman. In some folkplaces, there is such a story: in the early days, there was no parapet in thecity. Once, an old man was pulled to work, and his little granddaughter, who wasdependent on him, came to the city with him every day and sat by to watch. Oneday, a tired migrant worker came to the edge of the city wall in a daze. Thelittle girl, Berta, fell into the city and pushed him in. Unexpectedly, theforce was too strong. Although the migrant worker was saved, the little girlfell to death. In memory of her, craftsmen built a low wall in the city andcalled it a parapet. It's a touching story, but it does illustrate theprotective function of the parapet. Let's see: the girls' fields on both sidesare not the same. Crenels are built on the outer walls of the girls' fields, andcrenels also have holes for conjecture and shooting. Of course, this is for theneeds of actual combat.

　　As you have noticed, every spare section of the city wall has a protrudingpart, which is called the pier. What is the pier for? 7 it is used to protectthe city wall. We know that in ancient times, the main weapons used to attackand defend the city were bows, arrows and bending machines. They could shootdown from the top and up from the bottom. Therefore, the soldiers who defendedthe city were afraid to explore their origins. In this way, the city wall at thefoot of the anti Li Chengding defense corner. With piers and abutments, we canmake up for this deficiency, form a powerful three-dimensional shooting networkfrom three sides, and greatly strengthen the city defense force. On eachcollapse, an enemy tower was built with holes for observation and shooting.

　　In addition to these common points, ganyao ancient city has its own uniqueplace.

　　The city wall was originally a product of war, but pingdouren liked to puta strong cultural color on it. Kuixing tower, a symbol of cultural starofficial, was built on the southeast corner of Dingcheng wall. According tostatistics, there are 3000 crenels and 72 abandoned enemy towers in the ancientcity, which is a symbol of Confucius' three thousand disciples and seventy-twosages.

　　Huyao looks like a turtle from above. It has always been known as the cityof tortoise. It is said that it means the longevity of the tortoise. There aresix gates in the city, the South Gate looks like the head, the gate and theouter gate of the urn are all south. Ren Guishou is flexible, the north gatelooks like the tail, the outer gate of the urn is demolished and moves eastward,and the good puppet turtle tail swings eastward: the East Gate and the west gatelook like turtle feet. The three outer gates of the urn turn southward, as ifthe tortoise is slowly extending its legs and bending its limbs forward. Onlythe Lower East Gate, which we just came in, opens eastward instead of turningsouthward. It is said that it is uncle The tortoise climbs away, so he uses aninvisible rope to tie his left hind foot to the tower at the foot of the tower,which is one kilometer east of the city. Outside the south gate, there is a wellon the left and right, which is said to be a pair of bright eyes of thetortoise. In the center of the city, that is, the location of Guixin, there isalso a city building, which is the one we see standing on the top of manyhouses. On the two slopes of the top of the city building, the characters"Shuangxi" and "Xiangshou" are spelled out with yellow and blue glazed tiles. Itfully embodies the unique cultural atmosphere of the ancient city and expressesthe good wishes of the people from afar. It can be said that it is a painting ofdragon and dark in the urban construction concept of Guicheng .

　　There are many objects in the remote city. In southwest, the buildingcovered with glazed glass is the architectural complex of Town God's Temple andthe God of wealth temple. It can be seen nearby, and it can see the magnificentscenery of its high angle, flying, painted and painted.
