Badufang, also known as "Luoyuan Famous Valve Square", is located opposite North Street in Puyang County. Adjacent to the first experimental primary school in Puyang County. The factory building is a bluestone structure, which is made of stone strips, slates, stones and columns. It is strong and earthquake-resistant. This square is four feet high and four feet wide, with four pillars and three six pillars. Magnificent, magnificent, it is really a great landscape in Puyang.
1, Introduction
Octave room consists of three parts: seat, body and roof. There are four square seats, which are based on two layers of boulders. There are four square stone pillars in the square, which stand on the foundation of the square. There are drums at the lower part of the four pillars, and stone lions are carved at the middle and top of the drums, which is magnificent. The upper part of the workshop has three floors: left, middle and right, with the same structure and symmetrical form. There are three beams in the middle, embedded with two slates, with distinct layers and alternating light and shade. The square is in the air, with a grand and solemn hall, with front and rear slopes and false ridges on the top; At both ends of the temple ridge, there are carved stone kissing animals; There is a stone lion carved in the center of the temple ridge, with a gourd and an Aquarius on his back, holding his head high and his mouth open, holding his chest high and looking far away, and his expression is realistic and lifelike. The whole workshop is tightly assembled, dignified and elegant, symmetrical and beautiful, which fully demonstrates the superb skills of China craftsmen in carrying out heavy construction by using mechanical principles and shines with the wisdom and intelligence of working people.
Step 2: Story
There is another story about the naming of Badufang. At the beginning of the establishment of the workshop, none of the eight famous valves could give the workshop a proper name. Wei Daqin was recommended, but he was honest and frank, did not climb to the top, and invited him again and again. Therefore, after the establishment of the workshop, there was no title for a long time. One day, Wei Daqin went to the street to buy firewood from an old man. Because of the lack of money, we had to use Chinese characters as the price of firewood, so we wrote three Chinese characters "Badufang" for the old man to sell. The old man asked him how much he could be worth. Wei said that he could charge exorbitant prices, and the more the better. If he couldn't sell it, I could pay the firewood price.
With a grain of salt, the old man took three big characters to the street and sold them for one hundred and twenty. This incident caused a sensation in the whole city, and someone sued Dong Hanru. Han Ru invited the old man to the mansion to inquire about the situation, and invited other famous valves to the mansion to discuss. Everyone was happy to see the three strong characters of "Badufang". After paying the old people enough money, they asked a famous craftsman to carve them on the vertical monument at the top of the square, which is the so-called "Badufang".
"Badufang" is the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people in Puyang, with rigorous structure, exquisite carving and superb modeling skills. Unfortunately, this workshop was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, and now only rubble is left, falling across the road. Now, the Puyang County People's Government has allocated funds for reconstruction to reproduce the majestic appearance of Badufang.
