In the snowy afternoon, through the winding Gu Xiang, the mosque suddenly appeared in front of us, perhaps because of the snow, perhaps because of the silent courtyard, everything was so empty and clear, and some Han families were indifferent to the quiet and far-reaching artistic conception. Golden ginkgo, bright red fruits, orange persimmons and even pink roses were too late to wither and fall, so they met unexpectedly with this heavy snow.
The Grand Mosque lives in Huajue Lane in downtown area, next to the famous Huimin snack street. You can imagine how noisy that street is. But when you enter the temple, just separated by a wall, you can't hear the sound of the street outside, only the heavy snow is falling quietly.
Perhaps because of the heavy snow, when we entered the temple, only three tourists and a lazy cat were lying under the eaves. At this time, the yard seems to belong to us completely. Walking into an ancient temple and stepping on neat slate is like walking in the long river of years.
It was not until we strolled slowly out of the temple that we met several foreign tourists and broke the silence.
2.Xi What is Wufeng Chaoyang Temple in Anhuajue Lane Mosque? Huajue Lane Mosque was built in Ming Dynasty. It is located in Huajue Lane, northwest of Xi Drum Tower. It is a group of well-known Islamic ancient buildings in China, and its courtyard layout perfectly shows the complete layout of temples with national characteristics in China, which can be described as the outstanding mosque in China.
Xi 'an is a famous ancient capital of China, in the northwest corner of the city, commonly known as "Hui 'an", where Hui Muslims live in compact communities. There are more than ten mosques in the whole city.
Huajue Lane Mosque is the largest and oldest one. This Islamic temple is an east-west rectangle surrounded by bricks.
Covering an area of 12000 square meters, it almost occupies the whole street of Huajue Lane. The whole temple has four courtyards along the east-west central axis. Each courtyard is a typical quadrangle in China, with separate walls, a gatehouse and a hall running through it.
Its architectural layout, temple structure, wood, stone and brick carvings all reflect the ancient palace-style architectural style of China. The "Five Phoenix Chaoyang Hall" of Huajiexiang Mosque refers to five halls in front of and behind the temple, which are collectively called the Five Phoenix Chaoyang Hall.
This is a visualization of the national characteristics of Huajue Lane Mosque. The gatehouse of Huajue Lane Mosque is located on the courtyard walls on the north and south sides of the east end of the first courtyard, with a hard mountain tubular tile roof.
It is characterized by no other decoration except the brick carving of the word "Muslim Hall" on the lintel of the North Gate. The third hospital has a "repair hall" and a "worry-free building".
The Arabic "Moon Monument" stored in the "Xiuxiu Temple" for calculating the Islamic calendar is a monument to the development of Muslim culture in China and an important astronomical relic of Chinese Islam, based on the "Hadith" of Muhammad. "Fengge" is in the center of the fourth courtyard.
The main pavilion is hexagonal, with cornices and spires, shaped like a phoenix head, and the east-west midline is equipped with a trail, which leads directly to the worship hall. The pavilions on both sides are triangular, with upturned eaves and teeth, and the three pavilions are connected, which looks like a phoenix spreading its wings and has a light and smart style.
There is a fish pond behind the pavilion, which is shaped like begonia. Walking along the stone railing, I saw the stone gate standing and climbed onto the wide platform along the road.
The pavilion is connected with the fish pond, which is rich in the unique flavor of China quadrangles, in sharp contrast with the solemn religious atmosphere of the magnificent worship halls and platforms. This is a mosque along the coast of China, which can't be compared with Arab mosques.
The podium is in front of the worship hall. Two cultural relics on the platform attracted people's attention. One is a stone tablet in the north, called "sundial", which was used to measure the shadow of the sun and calculate the time in ancient times.
The second is "official stone" (also known as official stone, nail official stone), which is 1 m long, black, yellow and bright. It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, before the juren exam, it was nailed in a crevice to predict the truth.
It is also said that this is something used to distinguish officials in the Tang Dynasty. Every time an upright official comes here, he holds a nail and touches it with his palm, and the nail disappears into the stone, otherwise he will not be an upright official. There are hundreds of nails on this "official stone", and the nail heads are exposed.
I'm afraid it's impossible to build a Ming city wall in Xi 'an for one day.
