Changsha·Tianxin Pavilion｜So what is the regret of Changsha?|||If you don't go to Tianxin Pavilion, you don't know the ancient Changsha. "Tianxin Pavilion" was first seen in Yu Yi's poem "Tianxin Pavilion Overlooking" at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The name of the pavilion is derived from the meaning of "Shangshu" "All have one virtue, and enjoy the heart of heaven". "The grandeur of the southern city is gathered in this pavilion", which is famous in the world and has become a place for literati and ink guests to gather and chant. It was repaired several times from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. The pavilion is composed of the main pavilion and the two deputy pavilions in the south and the north. The main pavilion is in the middle, with chestnut tiles and ancient railings, high eaves and high pecks, towering into the clouds, and majestic. It is now the only ancient city symbol in Changsha. In 1938, Tianxin Pavilion and the buildings in the garden were destroyed in the "Wenxi Fire". As for the Wenxi Fire, it is the eternal sorrow of Changsha City. The current pavilion was rebuilt on the original site in 1983. The rebuilt Tianxin Pavilion is in the style of Ming and Qing architecture. The main pavilion is three stories high and 14.6 meters high. The south and north attached pavilions (South Screen, North Arch) are each 10 meters high. The main pavilion and the attached pavilions are connected by corridors, which are majestic and magnificent. Standing on the main pavilion overlooking Changsha City, you can see Changsha's most modern landmark building ifs, as well as historical and cultural blocks and old buildings, which confirms the good sentence of Changsha poet Huang Zhaomei: "The clouds and mountains on all sides are in sight, and the smoke and fire of thousands of families are always concerned".

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
