In order to record the time, in ancient times, the bell tower was mainly used to tell the time. At that time, people lacked a correct way to record time, so the bell tower played its value. Generally, in ancient cities, there are two bell towers, one in the palace and the other in the city center, which are basically two floors, and we can know that palace construction began in the Sui Dynasty and ended in the Ming Dynasty. In ancient times, people needed a unified time to coordinate social order, that is, they needed to establish a unified timing system, which was usually called? Morning bell and dusk drum? .
The second is to restrain etiquette. In ancient times, everyone was interested in etiquette, and a person who didn't pay attention to etiquette would be laughed at. At this time, the bell tower also played its second role, about the constraints of etiquette. It warns people from all aspects to abide by those codes of conduct and tells people not to cross the line. Those things can be done and those things cannot be done. Every time you travel, you should take care of your moral scope and avoid reckless things. Look at the bell tower, these are invisible eyes, monitoring people's every move, without any mistakes.
Third, it can be used as a crisis alarm. In ancient times, there were always some dangerous things, such as foreign invasion and important news of the country. These are conveyed to everyone in this city by ringing the Drum Tower, which helps people avoid injuries and protects people's lives and property to a certain extent. During the Revolution of 1911, it was reported that the rebels were at war with the Qing army.
The Drum Tower built in Xi and Beijing has been used by people to visit now, and great and small deeds have appeared in it, which has amazed people. In ancient times, people built the Drum Tower to keep time. Today, we have mobile phones, electronic watches and other tools to record time, and the drum tower has gradually faded its significance, but the alarm function has continued to this day, bringing some protection to people's lives.
