Changsha Tianxin Pavilion｜Half of Changsha's history

Reason for recommendation one Keywords: Ancient star-watching and sacrifice, origin of Changsha's name The history of ancient people watching stars spans thousands of years, among which 28 constellations have been handed down. In the southern Suzaku, there is a star named Changsha. The ancients found that this star corresponds to the land of Changsha, so they named this place Changsha. The alias of Xingsha also comes from the ancients watching stars. In other words, the name of Changsha city is taken from the name of the stars in the sky. The culture of sacrifice in Xiangchu land is also long-standing. Tianxin Pavilion is the highest point of the ancient Changsha city area, naturally becoming the place of sacrifice for the ancients. Reason for recommendation two Keywords: Wenchang Emperor, Kui Star Pointing Dipper, Chengnan Academy The ancients once said that only Chu has talents, and it is prosperous here. This sentence shows the importance of culture and education in the Jingchu region. Changsha has multiple Wenchang Pavilions, which shows the general emphasis on academics (it feels like Changsha students have a lot of homework). There are still statues of Wenchang Emperor and Kui Star in the pavilion, but there is no incense. During the Qing Dynasty, Chengnan Academy was moved to the bottom of Tianxin Pavilion. Tianxin Pavilion witnessed the efforts of Huxiang students to study, and also received many praises from literati. Reason for recommendation three Keywords: Military stronghold, beacon smoke Combining the beautiful history of star-watching and culture, Tianxin Pavilion turned into a military stronghold in modern times, experienced war and chaos, and underwent several reconstructions. After experiencing the Wenxi Fire and resisting the Taiping Army, etc., there are still cannons and point distributions on the city wall of Tianxin Pavilion. Reason for recommendation four Keywords: Ancient city wall The history of Changsha's ancient city wall can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. In modern times, many old city walls were demolished for development. It is said that the section of Tianxin Pavilion was inconvenient to demolish at that time, so it was finally preserved. It is one of the few existing ancient city walls in Changsha. 📍Address: Tianxin District Tianxin Pavilion 🅿️Parking: There is a paid parking lot near the northeast gate of Tianxin Pavilion Scenic Area 🎫Tickets: Tianxin Park is free, Tianxin Pavilion ticket is 30 yuan ⏰Time: Tianxin Pavilion 8:00-17:00, Tianxin Park is unrestricted
