Jiaxiulou, located on Nanming River in the south of Guiyang, is a small cultural attraction in Guiyang, which is as famous as the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi, Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Wangjiang Tower in Chengdu and Daguan Tower in Kunming. Jiaxiulou is the symbol and symbol of Guiyang.
Jiaxiulou was built in the 26th year of Wanli of Ming Dynasty, namely 1598, with a history of more than 400 years. Jiang Dongzhi, then governor of Guizhou, was the first person to advocate the construction of Jiaxiu Building. On the basis of a boulder shaped like the Aojiang River, he built a bridge connecting the two banks, and built the first floor to practice geomantic omen, named Jiaxiu Building. Gai Lou's purpose is far-reaching. It not only deliberately points out that Guiyang's mountains and rivers are beautiful in central Guizhou, but also encourages people to study hard, making Guiyang "competitive in science and technology" and producing talents in large numbers.
Since then, there have been many famous people in Guiyang, such as Yang, who was famous for his "three unique poems and calligraphy" in the late Ming Dynasty, Xie Sanxiu, who was praised as "the last genius" by Jiangnan scribes, Zhou Qiwei (Yu Huang), editor-in-chief of Kangxi Dictionary, and Kang Youwei, Liang Houchao and Tan Sitong, who were recommended in the Reform Movement of 1898, all of whom were famous cultural celebrities in Beijing. Xiong Yi, a famous soil scientist and academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qin Yuanxun, a famous mathematician and academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhao Yijiong, two top scholars in Qing Dynasty, and Cao Weicheng, a military scholar. Therefore, Jiaxiulou is a symbol of outstanding people in Guiyang and the essence of Guiyang's landscape culture. What we are seeing now is the stone archway of Jiaxiulou, which is engraved with "the scenery south of the city". You can take pictures here. There are eight stone lions in front of and behind the archway. They are not the usual lions sitting or lying down, but lions swooping down from a height. Among the ancient buildings in Guizhou; You can often see such a downhill lion, which looks very angry and awesome. The bridge under our feet is called Fuyu Bridge. Its deck is not straight, but it fluctuates, like a jade belt floating on the water. The architects took great pains here. Because of the different topography on both sides of the river, they built a big arch on the other side, forming a curve and increasing the aesthetic feeling of the bridge. At both ends of the bridge, there are Gongnan Pavilion, Guanyin Pavilion and Cuiwei Pavilion in front, and the former Wuhou Temple in the back. There is a huge rock standing in the river, named aojingshi. When the river reaches here, it forms a whirlpool called Hanbitan. There is a sandbar by the river, which is covered with green grass and named Fangduzhou. A bridge flies north and south, connecting many scenic spots together, forming the beautiful scenery of "misty rain building, Mount Tai outside four, painting city water" Among the scenic bridges in China, Fuyu Bridge is famous, which can be compared with "Yanyu Bridge 6" on Su Causeway in Hangzhou and Wu Ting Bridge on Slender West Lake in Yangzhou. Fuyu Bridge spans the bright Nanming River, and the willows on both sides are shaded, which is very beautiful.
Fuyu Bridge spans the bright Nanming River with willow smoke cages on both sides. There used to be nine bridge opening, and the culvert under the bridge swayed here, forming the spectacle of "the Yangtze River flows backwards and nine eyes shine on the sandbar". This pavilion on the bridge is called Hanbi Pavilion. Seen from a distance, the semicircular bridge opening and its reflection in the water are exactly a circle. The shadows of bridges, pavilions and buildings are reflected in the water together, giving people the hazy feeling of "scenery in the mirror, building in the water" In the early morning and evening, someone walked leisurely on the bridge, looking from a distance, as if walking on water. The poet even wrote this feeling as a couplet, and pointed out its charm with the poem "Jasper rings out of water, and people walk with violet petals".
Jiaxiu Building on Fuyu Bridge is a pyramid-shaped roof with three floors, three eaves and four corners. It is about 20 meters high. The four corners are engraved with rare birds and animals. There are 12 stone pillars on the ground floor, and white marble railings are carved around them, which fully embodies the aesthetic feeling of ancient buildings in China. Jiaxiulou, the main scenic spot in Guiyang, is called "Little West Lake". Scholars of all ages came and went here and touched the scenery, leaving many Mo Bao, among which Liu Yushan of A Qing Dynasty wrote the most famous couplet, 174, which condensed the history and culture of Guizhou. The beginning is: "for 500 years, I have been firmly in Aoji, supporting Tianyu alone, which has made me go up a storey still higher and broadened my horizons."
After crossing the building to the south bank, you can visit the only remaining Ming Dynasty building "Cuiwei Garden" in Guiyang, which was built during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, more than 560 years ago. Here used to be temples and gardens, and Nan 'an, where Wang X Mingpu has been, is here. He wrote in the poem "Two Rhymes in Nan 'an": "A thousand peaks rain in the pine forest at night" and "The first episode of a fisherman's boat". In recent years, it has been transformed into Cuiwei Garden, integrating temple architecture with gardens and courtyards.
Walking into the gate and standing on the steps, the temple is the Gongnan Pavilion built by Li Yong Dynasty in the south of Ming Dynasty. Li Yong Dynasty, whose capital was originally in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, then moved to Guizhou, and stayed in Anlong for 4 years. Gongnan Pavilion was built in this period, and the words "I have never lived in the autumn moon" still remain on the girder. Nine years ago, most of the buildings of Li Yong Dynasty, that is, A.D. 1655, were destroyed and disappeared with the passage of time. Only Guizhou has preserved some relics. In addition to Gongnan Pavilion, there are "eighteen strange tombs" and the tombs of several little princes of Enron.
Various ethnic handicrafts in Guizhou are displayed in Gongnan Pavilion, and visitors can choose freely. Its right bamboo invites seclusion, and there used to be "Longmen Academy". The word "Longmen" expresses students' good wishes, hoping that one day they can lift people up and bury them in high school like yue longmen, a carp.
The "Lotus Empty Cuisine" Garden on the right side of Gongnan Pavilion, with flower walls, caves, promenades, waterside pavilions and pavilions, is a typical Jiangnan courtyard. In the past, the Cuiwei Pavilion was built by the water, and it was "half a mountain and half a water building", which was quite poetic. Looking up the stairs, there is a bright moon and a cool breeze, and the smoke and willows on both sides of the strait are lingering. There are endless beautiful scenery and endless feelings, and literati often recite poems and compose poems here.
Today's "flowers bloom and flowers fall green" gardens display all kinds of strange stones, including dinosaur fossils and sea lily fossils more than 200 million years ago, as well as all kinds of grotesque and fascinating stones, which show the stone culture in Guizhou. Lantern and root carving are also a corner of Guizhou mountain culture.
In Cuiweige, the exhibition hall of Xiao Xian's calligraphy works was opened. Xiaoxian is from Guiyang. She is a disciple of Kang Youwei and a famous contemporary female calligrapher in China. Look at her handwriting, which shows the banner of "flying over the eaves and climbing the walls is the best in the world" in the magnificent brushwork. The poem implies the meaning of "A" and "Xiu". "The breeze entertains guests and the bright moon keeps people", which is elegant and profound, and expresses the hospitality of the people of Guizhou. Visitors from all over the world are welcome to come to Guizhou and visit Jiaxiu Building.
Jiaxiulou is a rare quiet place in downtown. The scenic spot is antique, and there are many tall buildings outside the scenic spot. At night, the lights are bright and people are swaying, which has become the focus of history, culture and modern civilization. Modern civilization shines with the light of history, and the spirit of "beautiful world" is high, guiding people to a bright future.
