Drive along the Taiyuan Ring Expressway for more than 30 kilometers, and you will reach the Jinci Temple at the foot of Diaoweng Mountain. Walking out of the parking lot, we were stopped by a wild guide. As long as the tour guide fee in 30 yuan is paid, we can visit the Jinci Temple.
When I bought the ticket, the staff told me that we came too late and the hall of Notre Dame was closed. After discussing with Lin, we still spent 160 yuan to buy two tickets and enjoyed the only hour left in Jinci.
The Monkey King became a temple in the Journey to the West.
Entering the Jinci Temple, an atmosphere of simplicity, solemnity and solemnity came to my face. In the twilight, the hall looks particularly magnificent. Because there are too few tourists in Jinci, I can really feel a sense of substitution of time and space.
The architecture in the Tang and Song Dynasties pays great attention to how many doorposts there are, what is engraved on the base and what is engraved on the column, and the tour guide tells them all.
What impressed me the most was the eight pillars in front of the main hall of Notre Dame, on which were carved eight dragons, which were said to have been made by Song people. Exquisite craftsmanship, each dragon has different shapes and is radiant. None of them were painted, and the original appearance of the wood was preserved.
The tour guide said that the sculpture in the hall of Notre Dame was also in the Song Dynasty, and it was lifelike. It's a pity that we can't go in and watch it.
The layering of Jinci architecture is very distinct. Designers skillfully use natural conditions such as distant mountains, near water and plants, and rationally arrange the relationship with the environment to form a whole.
There is a tinkling melody of spring water in my ear, and every step seems to have a strong sense of rhythm. Walking through halls, cornices and painting walls;
The bridge is flowing, and the tour guide said it was the earliest overpass in the world. And the fallen old tree, but another tree held it up. The difficult old spring next to it is said to be the source of Jin water, but unfortunately it has already become a dry well, and all we see is tap water.
1 Jinci guide 1
Hello everyone! First of all, on behalf of Mianshan Travel Agency, I welcome you to join this tour. I hope I can spend this wonderful time with you through my explanation.
People say, "If you don't get to Jinci, you will be in Taiyuan." Another person said, "It's as regrettable for a newcomer to Taiyuan not to visit the Jinci Temple as it is for a foreign friend not to visit the Forbidden City in Beijing." So when you arrive in Taiyuan, you must go to Jinci. Jinci Temple, located at the foot of Xuanweng Mountain in the southwest of Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, is the only precious historical and cultural heritage in China that integrates ancient sacrificial architecture, gardens, sculptures, murals and inscriptions, and is also the center of world architecture, gardens and sculptures. Located in Taiyuan
Hanging urn at the foot of the mountain, a city 25 kilometers southwest, is the temple of the ancient king of Jin, which was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty to commemorate Zhou Wuwang's second son, Yu Ji. One of the national key cultural relics protection units. Yu Ji was named Tang Shuyu in the Tang Dynasty. _ Stepfather, because water is in Jin, changed his country name to Jin. Therefore, later generations used to call Jinci. After the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty all reformed and expanded Jin Ci.
Jinci Temple is a scenic spot of classical gardens in China, with dozens of ancient buildings. Elegant and comfortable environment, beautiful scenery, famous for its magnificent architecture and exquisite sculpture art, the visit to Jinci can be divided into three parts: central, northern and southern. In the middle, that is, the central axis, it enters from the gate, starts from the water mirror platform, passes through Huixian Bridge, the Golden Terrace, the Moon Square, the Fairy Hall, the Bell and Drum Tower and the fish pond flying beam to the main hall of Notre Dame. This is the main body of Jinci Temple, with strict architectural structure and high artistic value. From Wenchang Palace in the north, there are Dongyue Temple, Guandi Temple, Sanqing Temple, Tangshu Temple, Chaoyang Cave, Daifengxuan, Santai Pavilion, Reading Desk and Lvzu Pavilion. Most of the buildings in this group are arranged in a natural and intricate way with the terrain, winning with lofty shelves.
In the south, from the El Nino Building, there are the White Crane Pavilion, the Three Temples, the Zhenqu Pavilion, the Difficult Old Spring Pavilion, the Jellyfish Building and the Gongbozi Temple. This group of towers, with flowing springs, has the charm of Jiangnan gardens. In addition, there is the Sansheng Temple in Shifang at the southernmost tip, which is said to be the villa of Weichi Gong, the founding general of the Tang Dynasty. There is a stupa in the tower courtyard in the north, which was built in the Sui Emperor's reign, rebuilt in the Song Dynasty and rebuilt in the Qing Emperor's reign. It is a seven-level octagon with a height of more than 30 meters. There are doors on all sides of each floor, decorated with glass bars. Looking at the tower, the panoramic view of Jinci is vivid.
Jinci Temple, formerly known as Tang Shuyu Temple, was built to commemorate Tang Shuyu, the founding emperor of Jin State. Uncle Yu made great efforts to use Shanxi River to build farmland water conservancy and develop agriculture, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived a prosperous life, which resulted in a favorable weather, a prosperous country and a peaceful people for the next 800 years. After Yu Shu's death, in order to commemorate him, later generations chose this beautiful place, which is surrounded by mountains and waters, and built an ancestral temple to worship him, and named it "Tang Shuyu Temple". After his son Xie Fu succeeded to the throne, the title of the country was changed from "Tang" to "Jin" because of the flowing water in the territory, which is also the origin of Shanxi's abbreviation of "Jin", and the ancestral temple was renamed as a shrine or simply "Jinci".
In the long years, Jinci has been built and expanded many times, and its appearance is constantly changing. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Wen Xuandi and Levin overthrew the Eastern Wei Dynasty, established the Northern Qi Dynasty, made Jinyang its capital, and expanded the Jinci Temple in Tianbao (550-559 AD) to "build a big house and a pond". During the reign of Huang Kai in Sui Dynasty (AD 58 1-600), a stupa was built in the southwest of the temple area.
In the 20th year of Tang Dynasty (AD 646), Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, went to Jinci, wrote the inscription on Jinci, and expanded it. During the years of Taiping and Xingguo in Song Taizong (976-983 AD), Zhao Guangyi built a large-scale building in Jinci, and after the renovation, it was engraved with inscriptions. Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong established Tang Shuyu as the King of Fendong during his heyday (A.D. 1023- 1032) and built the magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral for Tang Shuyu's mother, Yijiang.
Since the Notre Dame Cathedral and Fish Pond Flying Beam were built in the heyday of the Northern Song Dynasty, the architectural layout of the temple area has been greatly improved. Since then, Iron Man has been cast, and memorial hall, bell tower, drum tower and water mirror platform have been added. In this way, the central axis building with Notre Dame as the main body was completed for the second time. The Tang Shuyu Temple, which once lived in the right place, is located next to it and has been relegated to a secondary position. The most famous building in Jinci is Notre Dame Cathedral, which was built in the heyday of Song Dynasty (A.D. 1023- 1032).
It is said that the virgin Mary is the mother of concubine Yu. Notre Dame, formerly known as the "Maid's Hall", is spacious and bright, with 43 exquisite painted sculptures of palace ladies in the Song Dynasty (including 2 later sculptures). Among these colorful sculptures, Jiang Yi sits in the middle, looking solemn and elegant, and is a statue of a court ruler. Statues are vivid, lifelike and varied, which are valuable materials for studying sculpture art and costumes in Song Dynasty.
The fish pond flying beam, built in the Song Dynasty, is like a cross bridge, like a Dapeng spreading its wings. Located in front of Notre Dame Hall, it is elegant and unique. It is the only existing ancient bridge in China.
The four iron man statues of the Golden Man Terrace are heroic. Because iron belongs to hardware, people call it the golden platform. The iron man statue in the southwest corner was cast in the fourth year of Shaosheng in the Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1097), with a history of more than 800 years. It is not only well-preserved, but also magnificent, extraordinary, bright and shining, quite distinctive. It is said that one summer, the climate was particularly hot, and the iron man in armor in the southwest corner could not stand the unbearable pain. A man walked to the Fenhe River and saw the Fenhe River surging and flowing. How to cross the river? Iron man is worried.
I was in a hurry when I saw a ship sailing on the coast not far from the upstream. The iron man hurried forward to meet him and let the boatman cross him to the other side. The boatman pondered for a while, then said slowly, "You are alone, there are too few people. You can wait a little longer and then wait for others. " Ironman was anxious and quickly said, "You can survive me, even if you have the ability." The boatman looked at Iron Man and said, "How much can you weigh? A boat can hold more than one person unless you are made of iron. " As soon as the words fell, the true face of the iron man was revealed.
In an instant, the iron man stood by the Fenhe River, motionless. Why doesn't this man speak? The boatman looked up and saw an iron man standing in front of him. So familiar, wow, yes, it's Iron Man from Jinci. The boatman didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly found some folks and carried the Iron Man to the Golden Man Terrace. Notre Dame ordered its generals to chop off the iron man's toes three times, as a punishment for his disobedience. Today's Iron Man still has the impression of cutting three knives on his feet.
Second, the words of the second tour guide of Jinci
Hello, tourists! Welcome to Jinci. I'll show you carefully. I hope that through my explanation, I can spend this wonderful time with you.
People say, "If you don't get to Jinci, you will be in Taiyuan." Another person said, "It's as regrettable for a newcomer to Taiyuan not to visit the Jinci Temple as it is for a foreign friend not to visit the Forbidden City in Beijing." So when you arrive in Taiyuan, you must go to Jinci. Jinci Temple is a unique and precious historical and cultural heritage that integrates ancient sacrificial architecture, gardens, sculptures, murals and inscriptions in China. It is also the world center of architecture, gardens and sculpture, and one of the national key cultural relics protection units. Located at the foot of Hanging Wengshan Mountain, 25 kilometers southwest of Taiyuan City. Jinci Temple was originally built to commemorate Tang Shuyu, the founding monarch of Jin State. The founding date is no longer available. Tang Shuyu Temple (Jinci Temple) was recorded in the Notes on Water Classics by Li Daoyuan in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which shows that it was quite famous at that time.
Jinci Temple is now a tourist attraction of classical gardens in China, with dozens of ancient buildings. There are many cultural relics in Jinci, among which the famous ones are:
1. Notre Dame Hall and its 42 statues of girls. Notre Dame Hall, formerly known as "Maiden Hall", is the main body of Jinci and the oldest building in Jinci (built in the Northern Song Dynasty). Height19m, 7 rooms wide and 6 rooms deep, surrounded by cloisters. The architect thinks this temple is a masterpiece of architecture in the Song Dynasty. There are 43 painted sculptures of the Song Dynasty in the temple. The main statue of the Virgin Mary is located in a wooden shrine; The remaining 42 maid statues are on both sides. It is said that the virgin Mary is the mother of concubine Yu. In these colorful sculptures, Jiang Yi sits in the middle, with a serious expression and elegant manners, and a rockhopper, which is the image of a court ruler.
Statues are vivid, lifelike and varied, which are valuable materials for studying sculpture art and costumes in Song Dynasty. The maid is about the same height as a real person, with natural posture and different expressions. They are full of gestures, looking forward to life, and the world is full of human feelings, which can give almost everyone a biography. These waiters are full-time, with the same identity and personality. Some of them serve dishes, some are responsible for grooming and some are responsible for cleaning, which truly shows the mental outlook of being imprisoned and enslaved. They are the treasures of China's ancient realistic art statues and occupy an important position in the art history of China.
2. The towering ancient trees in Jinci are also impressive. Bai Zhou, also known as "Qi Nianbai", also known as Wolong Bai. This is because it looks like Wolong, its tree leans to the south, and its angle with the ground becomes 45 degrees. Its head rests on a cypress tree, and it looks like Youlong on its side, so people named it Wolong. This ancient cypress is located in front of the Miaodian on the right side of the hall of Notre Dame de Jinci. This ancient cypress has experienced ups and downs since the Zhou Dynasty. Although it is old, it is still strong and has become the embodiment of China's ancient civilization. According to the scientific detection of relevant institutions, the age of Sabina chinensis is between 2600 and 1990. It is a national first-class rare ancient tree. This tree is17.44m high, 5.58m in circumference and1.77m in trunk diameter.
Although this tree has gone through thousands of years, it still stands beside Notre Dame de Jinci, still vigorous and upright, with extraordinary taste, lush foliage, graceful posture, half lying and half lying, carefree, eclectic and very dignified and chic. It is this kind of ancient cypress that attracted admiration and praise from many ancient literati in China, and there were many singers in the past dynasties. Ouyang Xiu, a famous writer in the Song Dynasty in China, once praised him as "the spirit of the earth is full of vegetation, and the gloomy cypress contains light smoke". Tang Huai is in the Guandi Temple in the shrine, with old branches and tangled branches.
3. Difficult old spring, known as "the first spring in Jinyang", is also called "the three wonders of Jinci" with the maid statue and Qi Nianbai. There are three sources of water in Shanxi, one is a good spring, the other is a fish marsh spring and the other is a difficult old spring. Difficult old spring is the main spring among the three springs, and the source of golden water flows out from here for many years. The water temperature is kept at 17℃, and the flow rate per second is 1.8 cubic meters, which irrigates tens of thousands of acres of rice fields nearby.
There is a folk story about an old spring, "Liu sits on an urn and drinks a whip." It is said that there is a woman named Liu in Jinsheng Village, north of Jinci Temple. She married in gutang Village and was abused by her mother-in-law. She has to fetch water from a distance every day. One day, on the way to fetch water, she met an old man riding a horse and asked her for water for the horse to drink. Although she managed to fetch water from a distance, kind Liu gave it all to the old man. The old man gave Liu Yi a whip when he left and put it in the urn when he came home. When using water, he only needs to lift the whip a little, and the urn will be full, but he must never take the whip out of the urn. Remember! Remember!
Liu tried it when he got home, and it happened. Later, my mother-in-law found that her daughter-in-law stopped carrying water, but the water in the jar was always full, which made her suspicious. While her daughter-in-law was not at home, she secretly searched and found the whip in the jar, thinking it was a treasure. She reached out and took the whip out of the water tank. Suddenly, the water in the tank gushed out and flowed everywhere. Liu Faxian water, which is combing her hair at home, is pouring out. Knowing that her mother-in-law had pulled the whip out of the water tank, she grabbed the straw mat in one hand and the wooden comb in the other, and ran home with her half-combed hair hanging freely. She saw that the water in the jar kept pouring out like a spring. She couldn't bear to breathe, so she quickly buckled the straw mat on the jar and jumped on it.
Strange to say, after Chunying sat on the urn, the water suddenly slowed down, and suddenly it changed from a raging flood to a trickle, leaking out along the straw mat. Soon, the flood in the village gradually receded, and people remembered Chunying and rushed to her home. I saw Chunying sitting on the water tank, with a comb in one hand and her hair in the other, combing her hair peacefully. No matter what others called her, she didn't answer. When she came closer, it turned out that Chunying had already become a fairy. Only that clear spring flowed out from under the straw mat in the water tank where she was sitting, which was gurgling "old spring" water. In order to commemorate this kind woman, later generations called her a jellyfish, and built a jellyfish building on the west side of Nanlaoquan. There is a dignified and beautiful jellyfish statue in the building.
Through the tour and explanation of various places of interest in Jinci, tourists not only have a deeper impression on Jinci, but also enrich their extracurricular knowledge, which also plays a certain role in promoting their majors. At the same time, I realize that I have learned very little, and only by constantly learning can I become a leader in everyone's eyes. "Never too old to learn" is an eternal truth.

The main hall is 19 meters high, 7 rooms wide and 6 rooms deep, and there are cloisters around the main hall. The architect thinks this temple is a masterpiece of architecture in the Song Dynasty.
The towering ancient trees in Jinci are also impressive. Sabina vulgaris, also known as Sabina vulgaris, is said to have been planted in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Because of its age, the tree has tilted about 40 degrees to the south, but it is still full of vitality. Sui Huai is in the Guandi Temple in the shrine, where the old branches are intertwined and the branches are flourishing.
Difficult old spring, known as "the first spring in Jinyang", is also called "the three wonders of Jinci" with the maid statue and Qi Nianbai. Because of its crystal clear and smooth flow, people call it "not easy to get old". The spring water is kept at 17℃ all the year round, irrigating tens of thousands of acres of rice fields nearby. Great poets such as Li Bai and Fan Zhongyan have written poems praising Nan.
It won't last long. It's getting dark The tour guide was anxious to get the tour guide fee for 30 yuan, and then Peach died.
We looked for it for a long time before we came out of the side door. Passing a fork in the road, several black car drivers let us take the bus, but we didn't get on.
They showed us a long way to go. When I found something wrong, I used mobile navigation and walked for about 40 minutes before I found the paid parking lot. What a hateful Jinci people!
