The Architectural Value of Dahongzhi
As a model of China's classical architectural culture, Nanjing Dahonghu Temple is the largest temple site excavated in China, which provides extremely important information for studying the regulation and layout of the royal temples in the Ming Dynasty.
The underground palace of Chang Gan Temple, which was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, was discovered in Taki, and a large number of precious Buddhist cultural relics with the true bone at the top of the Buddha as the core (the inscription was brought to China by Indian monks) and the seven treasures Asoka Tower as the representative were unearthed, which caused a great sensation at home and abroad.
These great discoveries are of great significance to the study of the construction of the stupa underground palace, the storage system of relics and the spread and exchange of Chinese and Western Buddhism in the Song Dynasty. This excavation also found the clue of building an "eagle frame" around the tower foundation for the first time, and revealed the construction method of the pagoda in the Ming Dynasty, which is of great value to the study of the history of ancient architectural technology in China.
