The short videos I watched from all dynasties
Chapter 454: The Wooden Tower That No One Can Save
Li Ranran was moved after watching the video, "I haven't watched this type of drama for a long time."
"No, I guess it's been a while since I last watched a costume drama...except for historical ones."
After reading the commentary, Li Ranran went to look at the comment section again. When she saw that everyone in the comment section had the same idea as she did, she smiled and nodded.
"Yes, that's it! The heroine is really beautiful and talented. It's great to be alone. And it would be better if she died in the palace. I don't want to see her taking care of her husband and children..."
[Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, a wooden pagoda that no one can save]
[“I stand at the end of time, looking at your inevitable death.”
The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is a wooden pagoda that no one can save. It is one of the three great towers along with the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Eiffel Tower. It is also the tallest and oldest existing pure wooden structure in the world.
In its more than 900 years of history, it has experienced more than 40 earthquakes and more than 200 artillery shells, but it still stands tall.
However, in the 30s, a mistaken repair by the locals greatly affected its stability and also destroyed the ancient murals.
Today, it is tilting at a rate of several millimeters per year, and experts have not found a solution yet. The entire tower is a mortise and tenon structure, without a single nail. It has tilted to such an extent, but it has stood for 968 years. Even Liang Sicheng wrote to Lin Huiyin and lamented:
I don't know how much you will prostrate yourself before me.
And now we can only see such a magnificent building once less. 】
<I have seen a video of cats guarding the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda before, which was very touching. The "tower-guarding cats" have their own three-story cat tower, and they are the gods who protect the wooden pagoda.>
<This thousand-year-old tower is slowly bidding farewell to the world [crying] I must go and see it in my lifetime. >
<I have seen all three of the three towers, but I always feel that the other two are less impressive. It is really difficult to replicate the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, and it is difficult to have the historical weight of it again.>
<There is no need to call it solemn, vicissitudes... It is originally a wooden tower structure, which is awesome! >
<Cat is good, tower is good [crying]>
<I am studying architecture. Whenever our middle school history teacher talks about the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, he is filled with regret and endless sorrow. [Sigh]>
<The last time was the Iron Lion in Cangzhou? I feel like the best way to protect some ancient buildings is to not protect them [covering face]>
<There was also a temple where experts installed a lightning rod, but it broke down [covering face] These experts... oh, how can I say hello to you. >
<That’s right, some experts say too, the best advice is not to give any advice [covering face]>
<There is a huge difference between the wood used in the past and the wood used today. Even if you have the technology, it is really difficult to repair it.>
<Unable to save and unable to accept, full of regrets.>
<968 years... spanning many dynasties, including the Qing, Ming, Yuan, and Song dynasties... The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, built during the Jiayou period of Emperor Renzong of Song, witnessed the rise and fall of too many histories [sigh]>
<When I saw it in person this year, I felt heavy and suffocated, but more than that, I was sad. I really couldn't bear to see it disappear in the end...>
[Song Renzong Zhao Zhen: During the Jiayou period? Oh, it should be later. There is no such building in our Song Dynasty yet.]
[Tang Xuanzong Li Longji: The workmanship looks just so-so.]
[Song Shenzong Zhao Xu: Yingxian Wooden Pagoda? I must go and see it with my own eyes…]
[Kublai Khan: Is there such a tower? Is this wooden tower famous?]
[Ming Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang: I haven’t paid attention to it.]
[In the 29th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Prince of Jin Zhu Gang: Father, I know! My fiefdom is in that area, I know! This tower is actually not as interesting as what is said on the light curtain, it feels like an ordinary tower... I am a little interested in the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Eiffel Tower mentioned on the light curtain.]
……
Looking through the wooden tower is like looking into the eyes of people thousands of years later. They are looking at the people of the previous dynasty through the long river of history, while we are looking at the people of the future generations through the wooden tower that is not as weathered as before.
"Cats are also good cats."
“A sense of historical mission.”
"Thousands of years have passed, and to them we are nothing more than a handful of dirt, just rigid people written in history books..."
"Sometimes I am grateful for the emergence of the light curtain. I used to think it was standing high above us and misunderstood us, judging us with a critical attitude. But after seeing more light curtains, I realized that with the light curtain we have more knowledge that we didn't know before. It helps us eliminate many disadvantages."
……
Ming Dynasty Hongwu 29th year
"If you are interested, go abroad."
Zhu Yuanzhang's words made Jin Wang Zhu Gang, who was watching the video on the screen with great interest, break out in a cold sweat.
"No, no, no... Father... I was just talking, haha, just talking."
Zhu Gang said that he was not a fool, and he did not want to be like his second brother who was still in Japan...
The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda also quickly spread among dynasties due to the influence of the light curtain video.
Before the Song Dynasty, Ying County, which had not yet built a wooden pagoda, decided to do it. This was the instruction given to them by Guangmu. Such a wooden pagoda with a heavy sense of history that would move future generations must belong to their Ying County.
After the Song Dynasty, the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda became a tourist attraction that many people wanted to visit.
At the same time, the craftsmen who built the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda were thinking about whether they should give a reminder to future generations, warning them not to repair it without authorization... so as to avoid inadequate repairs...
Well...then just be more straightforward and send the drawings to them directly.
