'Enjoy the folk customs of Jin, and the winter fun of Shanxi' Time favors Shanxi Shanxi favors lovers of ancient architecture. Here, treasures are everywhere Always bring unexpected joy The beauty of Shanxi's ancient architecture not only stays On those relics known to the world, but also scattered in the streets and alleys hidden in the fields and villages Especially those sporadic archways and arches in the villages, there are simply too many to see Nanfan Stone Archway Qing Dynasty filial piety archway Located in Xibao Village, Nanfan Town, Jiang County, Yuncheng, it is composed of an archway and a stele building The archway is made of stone imitation wood structure, the whole body is made of bluestone, up to ten meters high, six pillars and five doors, double eaves and palace roof Ridge decoration, tile decoration using wooden structure carving from the base to the top Decorated with beasts, flowers and characters and other stone carvings If you go in and take a closer look, you will be surprised to find The lion and the characters are carved 'alive', and the stone carving craftsmanship is evident Yangwu Zhu's Archway Built in the late Qing Dynasty Located in Yangwu Village, Yuanping City, the archway is four pillars and three floors The front is decorated with four life-size strong men, vivid and lifelike The main body is supported by four Overlord pillars, and the two Overlord pillars in the middle Connected by carved two dragons playing with pearls, placed on the top of the eaves The top of the column is carved with flowers, grass, characters, etc. The majestic archway is full of ancient patterns, and the carving is superb. Just one glance is unforgettable Quwo Mother's Tower The Mother's Tower is located in Quwo County, with the same shape on all four sides, so it is also called 'Four Archways' The structure of this building is peculiar, and the shape is beautiful. Each side protrudes from the middle to hold the whole archway The glazed carving is colorful, and the wood carving skill is pure No wonder After four hundred years of devastation It still stands in a corner of the county today When you come to Shanxi, you will be amazed There are cultural relics everywhere here But no one is in charge, few people know they are not attractions they do not charge It has nothing to do with the wind and the moon, but it is in it and becomes a local person It's a must for people to come and go This sense of vicissitudes that has not been completely immersed in modernity is the unique beauty of Shanxi Those ancient architectural gems left in the countryside tell the past that has stayed and also witness the prosperity of today. The meaning of ancient architecture is probably so
