Cangyan mountain Heavenly King Hall

Cangyan mountain Heavenly King Hall

Qiaolou hall is 17 meters to the east of Tianwang hall. Because the distance between the two cliffs is greater than Xiaoshi bridge and the height is 89 meters, it has a large span and imitates Zhaozhou Dashi bridge to build an open shouldered arch bridge. The bridge is 15 meters long and 7.8 meters wide. There are 22 arches in total. The arch stones are of different sizes and are of bluestone quality

.

brief introduction

On both sides of the arches, as on the small bridge, there are six dragon and beast patterns carved on each side. Only the two water sucking beasts on the top of the ticket are different in form, and the one on the west side is not in the center. The carving on both sides is asymmetric, which is obviously a result of later repair. The water sucking beast on the east side has two limbs, which matches and coordinates with the carving on both sides. The double silver ingot shaped waist iron is embedded in the arch stone, and the adjacent two arch stones are stuck, and the joints are pointed with lime. Qiaolou hall is a large wooden building with yellow green glazed tiles and double eaves on the nine ridges of Xieshan mountain. It has five rooms in width and three rooms in depth, and is surrounded by corridors. The building area is 135 square meters.

The lower eaves are made of inner and outer grooved columns, the column base is made of plain compound basin, the inner and outer eaves are connected by moon beams, and the upper eaves and the inner eaves of the lower eaves are made into through columns. On the outer eaves, there are carved sparrows. In the Ming Dynasty, there are carved dragons and phoenixes, and in the second and the third, there are carved rhombic teeth. There are four columns at the four corners of the lower eaves, which support the upper eaves and make the four wings of the upper eaves rise. In the front and back decoration of the hall, there are six fans in the lower eaves, four windows in the secondary wall, brick walls in the middle and two hills, six fans in the upper eaves and columns, Soviet style paintings on the purlin and Fang under the eaves, and most of the paintings are about characters, drama stories and flowers. The hall is equipped with smallpox. The practice of smallpox is: in the space of Fang, the vertical and horizontal intersecting bars are used to build a square lattice, and the lattice is covered with wood, and the wood is painted with colorful dragon and phoenix patterns. There are stairs in the two rooms. You can go upstairs. The north and South murals in the hall are painted with the title of preaching by Shi YingMou Ni and his disciples and learning from sutras by Tang monks and disciples.

The other parts of the hall of the bridge tower are well preserved, only the murals in the house and the Soviet style paintings. Due to years of wind and rain erosion, a considerable part of them have been blurred. The sparrow is incomplete. Smallpox is 80% incomplete.

There is no record of when the bridge hall and stone bridge were created. The earliest extant inscription of rebuilding cangyan mountain bridge in 1667 is that "I don't know when the bridge will be built between the two walls" and "I've been robbed by fire and burned to ashes in recent years". The existing bridge hall was rebuilt after it was burned in the early Kangxi period.
