The Origin of Bianjing Architecture in Daixian County

The construction and repair of Zhoucheng in the past dynasties not only made the city stronger, but also made many buildings and gardens appear inside and outside the city. Today, the Bianjing Building, which stands in the center of the county, is an artificial scene left by the Ming Dynasty. Bianjing Building is the Drum Tower of Daizhou City in Ming Dynasty, also known as Lianglou. Founded in the seventh year of Hongwu (A.D. 1374), it was presided over by the then generals Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expeditionary Army had just pacified Shanxi, and the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty were still instigating the rebellion here. In the third year of Hongwu (A.D. 1370), some old military attaché s in Daizhou instigated a rebellion, and the Ming government sent two generals, Tang and Lu, to counter the rebellion here. After putting down the rebellion, they built and strengthened the city and built towers in it. Because Daixian was not a state city at that time, this balcony was named Bianjing Building, which means to protect the north and make it peaceful. In fact, it also means commemorating the success of this counter-insurgency. In the eighth year of Hongwu (A.D. 1375), Daixian was restored as a state, and this side building became the drum tower of the state.
