Meet Xi'an

Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan is dusty, and 30 million old Shaanxi and Qi are roaring Qin opera. Since the establishment of Fengjing and Haojing capital in the Qin Dynasty, Xi'an has always been a hot Internet celebrity city. The historical and cultural heritage of the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties has made Xi'an ancient city where countless people compete to check in.

In 14 years, I passed by Xi'an and stayed briefly for a day. Six years later, Xi'an, which was blessed with bowls of wine and little lady tumbler, once again became popular on the Internet. Chang 'an is a dream in the hearts of Tang Dynasty people; Xi'an is the Chang 'an dream in the hearts of modern people!

Xi'an city wall

It was about 2 o'clock from Suzhou to the hotel where I stayed in Xi'an. After taking a short rest at the hotel, go to the Xi'an City Wall Scenic Area to enjoy the Xi'an City Wall New Year Lantern Festival, which has just begun to light up.

Compared with the Ming City Wall in Nanjing, although the scale of Xi'an City Wall is small, it retains a complete shape. The tower and arrow towers are well preserved. Xi'an Ming City Wall is the "largest existing and most completely preserved" ancient city wall.

It takes about 3-4 hours to walk around the city wall. You can also rent bicycles and fly kites on the city wall. There are many enemy towers and arrow towers on the city wall, and most of them are relatively intact.

The Xi'an City Wall retains all four barns, which are large in scale and exquisite in architecture. The Ximen Tower, Dongmen Tower, and Nanmen Tower are all relics of the Ming Dynasty wooden structure towers. The arrow towers of the east, west and north gates are also well preserved. Among them, the arrow towers of the Andingmen Tower can be called a masterpiece, and the wooden carved beams of the tower can be clearly seen in the Ming Dynasty.

[South Gate·Yongning Gate]

It is recommended to climb the building from the south gate, because you can reach the south gate of the city wall not far from walking from the Bell Tower. There are many things to see on the south city wall. The Forest of Steles, Shuyuan Gate, and Xiama Mausoleum are all near the Duanlu Gate of the south city wall. There is a museum inside the city wall of Hanguangmen.

There are three performances at the Yongning Gate at the south gate of the city wall, namely "Dream Chang 'an-Tang Dynasty Welcome Ceremony", warrior stand patrol, and warrior change ceremony. There is a lantern festival at the south gate and the city wall every year during the Spring Festival on the Yuan Festival.

[North Gate·Dingyuan Gate]

The north gate of Xi'an City Wall is Anyyuan Gate. The north gate built during the construction of the city wall in the Ming Dynasty is located on the north-south axis of Xi'an City. It is the most iconic gate of the northern city wall. As far back as the Tang Dynasty, it was the main gate for welcoming guests. It is called the "First Gate of the Ancient City".

[East Gate·Changle Gate]

Changle Gate, the main east gate of Xi'an City Wall, is located south-by-south of the middle of the East City Wall. From the 7th to the 11th year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty (1374 to 1378), Changle Gate was built during the expansion of Xi'an Prefectural City. Later, the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China were held to this day. Today, Changle Gate houses the Wengcheng, Arrow Tower, Main Tower and Double Gate Entrance.

[Ximen·Andingmen]

The Anding Gate site was originally the "Shunyi Gate", the middle gate to the west of the Imperial City of Chang 'an in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was preserved when Han built a new city in the late Tang Dynasty. From the 7th to the 11th year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty (1374 to 1378), Xi'an Prefectural City was expanded. This gate was used as the West Gate and renamed "Anding Gate". Today, Anding Gate houses Wengcheng, Jianlou, Zhenglou and Double Gate Entrance.

Three ticket holes are opened on both sides of the gate for vehicles and pedestrians to pass through. There is Kuixing Tower built on the city wall of Wenchang Gate. Wenchang Gate is a forest of steles, and Zhongshan Gate (Xiaodongmen Gate) is Yongxing Square, which is an Internet celebrity and a bowl of wine. The street in Zhongshanmen is called Dongxin Street, which is also a food street!

Xi'an city wall

As depicted in "Chang 'an Twelve Hours", in Chang' an City in the Tang Dynasty, the most lively event of the year was the Shangyuan Festival. The moonlight lights fill the imperial capital, and the fragrant carriages and carriages pass the thoroughfare."Tang Xin Yu" records that every year on the Lantern Festival, lanterns are set up in Chang 'an City, and the curfew is lifted on the night of the three days before and after. The entire Chang' an City is like day all night long, brightly lit, the monarch and the people celebrate together, and thousands of people are empty!

The fire trees and silver flowers are closed, and the iron lock of the star bridge is opened. Dark dust follows horses, and bright moon follows people. All wandering singers are plums, and all singing are plums. The gold cannot help but stay at night, and the jade leaks don't rush each other. The Lantern Festival in Xi'an is the most magnificent one I have ever seen. It is numerous in number, wide in area, diverse in style, rich in humanities, and new in technology. It almost exerts the power of the whole city and cleverly integrates the city wall, Lishan Mountain, Quchi, and Shijing City, restoring the brightly lit prosperous Tang Dynasty, like a modern version of Chang' an City that never sleeps.

Xi'an's oldest New Year Shangyuan Lantern Festival should be the Xi'an City Wall New Year Lantern Festival. It has been held for more than 30 years now and has indeed become a growing memory of one or two generations of people in Xi'an.

This year's 33rd Gengzi New Year Lantern Festival still centers on Yongning Gate at the south gate of the city wall. Yongning Gate at the south gate of the Xi'an city wall is the only remaining gate with a gate tower. The lantern square in front of the gate tower is shining with stars and bright lamp posts.

Day 2: Banpo Museum

Xi'an, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties with a profound history, has more than 200 museums of various sizes. In addition to the Shaanxi History Museum, there are also a number of niche museums worth visiting. There are 9 national-level museums in Shaanxi Province, of which Xi'an owns the sixth. They are Shaanxi History Museum, Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Museum, Xi'an Forest of Steles Museum, Xi'an Museum, Xi'an Banpo Museum, and Xi'an Datang West City Museum.

Banpo Museum is one of them. It originated from the Banpo Ruins and is located in the north of Banpo Village in Chengzhong Village. It is a relatively complete site in the Yellow River Basin with an existing area of about 50,000 square meters. It is divided into residential areas, pottery making areas and tombs. area. You can experience the daily life of primitive people.

6000 years ago, it was a primitive village of a matriarchal clan. Men and women worked in their respective clans during the day, and the man went to the woman's house for the night until he gave birth to a child. He only knew that his mother did not know his father, that women led society, and that he was buried with the same sex after death.

[Hall·Unearthed Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall]

The display of unearthed cultural relics consists of the first exhibition room and the second exhibition room. The two exhibition rooms display production tools and daily necessities unearthed from the site.

Banpo Museum

It mainly displays production tools, daily necessities and works of art used by the original ancestors unearthed from the Banpo Site and Jiangzhai Site, which can be divided into stone tools, bone utensils and pottery.

Banpo Museum

In the middle of the first and second exhibition halls, a huge semicircular area is set up to restore and show the scene of the life of primitive people in Banpo.

The treasure of the Banpo Museum is the human-faced fish pattern basin. The human-faced fish pattern basin is 16.5 cm high and 39.5 cm in diameter. On the inner wall of the pottery basin, two symmetrical human faces and two fish patterns are painted. The excavation site is located in the residential area of the Banpo Ruins. As for the meaning of the human-faced fish pattern on it and the use of the human-faced fish pattern basin, it has not been possible to sell directly, because the uniqueness and mystery of the human-faced fish pattern make it the most artistic value of the painted pottery decoration.

Vases with small mouths and sharp bottoms are the most typical artifacts of Banpo Culture. Many discoveries were made during the excavation of the Banpo Site in Xi'an, and there is also disagreement about its use.

Banpo Museum

A large number of colorful pottery can be seen from the Banpo site. The painting patterns are simple and concise, including elephant patterns and geometric patterns. Many of these patterns are symmetrically drawn, reflecting their aesthetic appreciation of painted pottery culture.

[Hall·Banpo Ruins Hall]

Coming out of the exhibition hall is the ruins hall. The four characters "Banpo Remains Toe" were inscribed by Guo Moruo back then, but no one knows why the toes of the toes were used instead of the site.

Banpo Museum

In the early days of house construction, half of it was underground, and half of it was exposed to the ground with the pit wall as the wall. This kind of house was low and humid.

There is also a large chasm from the site that is more than 300 meters long, about 5 meters deep, and about 6 meters wide; this is a fortification to protect the village from invasion by foreign tribes and prevent sudden attacks by wild beasts.

In the late period of primitive society, walls were built on the ground and wooden pillars were used to support the roof. This upright wall and sloping roof had formed the basic model of later traditional Chinese house construction, which was a great move at that time.

Public cemeteries can also be seen in the site. Some cemeteries have urns placed on them. The urns are covered with pottery pots. There is a small hole drilled in the middle of the pottery pots. After the death of a person, the bones are placed in the urns. The function of the small hole is to make it easier for the soul of the deceased to enter and exit.

[Garden·Study Experience]

Behind the Banpo Ruins Hall, many peonies are planted inside. It is also a study and experience park. There are special teachers to guide everyone to experience the lifestyle of primitive people, such as drilling wood to make fire, drilling stone tools, etc.

the Terracotta Warriors and horses Museum

In Xi'an, the ancient capital of the 13th Dynasties, if you are looking for traces of Qin culture, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang is a check-in point that cannot be missed. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses are located in Lintong District, Xi'an, which is almost the farthest scenic spot from Xi'an. There is a direct train from Xi'an Railway Station.

During the Warring States Period, Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, unified the six countries, took Xianyang as the capital. He chose the Mausoleum of the Emperor Qin Shi Huang on the verdant Lishan Mountain in Lintong. It took 720,000 migrant workers to complete the construction in nearly 39 years, covering an area of more than 56 square kilometers. This place is backed by mountains and rivers, and ancient jade grows from blue fields on both sides. Tongguan produces gold, which can be said to be a mountain with its head resting on its feet and a river with its feet. His ancestors have been senior officials for generations; he grasped gold with one hand and jade with the other. The Qin Emperor was buried for his good name.

Xi'an Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors Museum includes two scenic spots: the Terracotta Warriors Museum and the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum. The distance between the two scenic spots is 1.5 kilometers. One ticket includes the cost of visiting the two scenic spots and the round trip tour bus during the period.

Because too many people visit the Terracotta Warriors every day, this new entrance was built later. After checking in, you can walk or take the Jingjiao electric car to the old entrance.

After walking through a green park, I arrived at the original main entrance, which is a great place to take a group photo. It is said that the Terracotta Warriors Museum has a couplet: "Don't forget the GCD when you turn over, you all rely on Qin Shihuang to get rich." The horizontal comment is: "Thanks to Lao Yang. "Because it was a farmer named Yang who discovered the terracotta warriors while digging a well.

There are currently four pits and copper chariots and horses showrooms excavated in the entire museum. The fourth pit has been filled without the terracotta warriors. One said that the fourth pit is a centralized production workshop of terracotta warriors in other pits, and the other said that it is dilapidated.

In 1978, Chirac, mayor of Paris, lamented after visiting the No. 1 pit of the Qin terracotta warriors: "The Eighth Wonder of the World." According to incomplete statistics, millions of foreigners visit the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang every year. Together, they can almost circle the Great Wall hand in hand. It is said that a German student cosplayed a terracotta warriors and jumped into the tunnel, but was not discovered by the staff.

Pit No. 1 is the earliest excavated pit with the largest exhibition area. Walking into the hall, you will suddenly see the tall, powerful, and serious-looking terracotta warriors. The entrance of the hall is the best viewing position, but now it is not allowed to enter the pit to visit, so it is a pity that you cannot observe these lifelike terracotta warriors up close.

The military formation of No. 1 pit consists of vanguard, main body, flank and defender. More than 6000 terracotta warriors and horses can be unearthed from all excavations. Each piece is made of the size of a real horse. The terracotta warriors are wearing armor or battle robes and are majestic. The horse seems to hold its head high and whistle, gathering its hooves to gallop.

the Terracotta Warriors and horses Museum

Due to their unique craftsmanship and spectacular lineup, the Terracotta Warriors are known as the Eighth Wonder of the World. More than 8000 Terracotta Warriors have been unearthed, with thousands of people and thousands of appearances without a duplicate. The average height is about 180 centimeters and is hand-made using the clay strip plate method. The system of naming objects and workers was implemented during the Qin Dynasty.

Each terracotta warrior is actually painted with color. It is said that among the colors of the terracotta warriors, there is a mysterious pigment called Han Purple, which is one of the two earliest pure synthetic colors applied by humans (the other is Egyptian blue invented by the Egyptians during the same period).

the Terracotta Warriors and horses Museum

The second half of the pit is a restoration site for the Terracotta Warriors. The Terracotta Warriors Museum carries out restoration while displaying it, and staff can still be seen digging and restoring it on weekdays.

Here, you can see up close the newly restored terracotta warriors.

Rows of damaged pottery figurines and pottery horses are quietly waiting for the staff to recreate their former style.

the Terracotta Warriors and horses Museum

The second hall of the museum is the cavalry camp of Qin Shi Huang's special forces army. The cavalry array is neatly arranged in a row of four horses. The cavalry stands in front of the horses, tall and straight, majestic, and the formation is more complex and the arms are more complete. It is the most spectacular army formation among the three pits.

The "treasure of the town" of the Terracotta Army Museum is this kneeling figure. The clothes and hair are clearly visible. It is the most completely preserved and the only one that has not been repaired manually. It is said that thanks to its low profile, it was fortunately preserved during the collapse.

Pit 3 has the smallest area and consists of north and south wing rooms and chariot houses. There is a four-horse chariot and four terracotta warriors in the chariot houses. A total of 68 terracotta warriors can be unearthed in Pit 3.

Judging from the internal layout, it is the headquarters of Pit No. 12. It is the only one among the three pits that has not been burned by fire. Therefore, when unearthed, there are more painted paintings on the pottery figurines, which are relatively bright. It is reasonable that high-ranking officials were also unearthed. The bronze sword equipped with it is extremely sharp.

[Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall]

The most famous thing displayed in the museum is the bronze chariots and horses, known as the Bronze Crown. It can be said to be the most expensive chariot in the world.

There are two copper chariots and horses in the exhibition hall, one small and the other large. The small is a road-clearing carriage, and the large is a carriage for the owner, also called a carriage. Car No. 1 is the authentic product, and car No. 2 is a product restored based on historical and cultural relics.

There are four horses in front of each carriage, two in the middle are called Fu horses, and two in the outside are called Can horses. There is an ornamental ring on the top of the right Can horse. The decorations on the head of the ancient emperor's carriage are status and power. symbol.

The bronze chariots and horses are imitated according to the shape of the "five-hour auxiliary chariot" in the chariot royal carriage of the Qin Dynasty, symbolizing part of the emperor's chariot. The length and size are half of the real chariot and chariot. The people, horses and chariot are all imitated in bronze and equipped with a large number of gold and silver ornaments.

Outside the scenic area, there is the Qin Academy of Terracotta Warriors and Horses, where you can personally experience the making of a Terracotta Warriors. Of course, it basically uses modern simple craftsmanship. At the beginning, there will be staff who will provide several complete explanations of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, at least a deeper understanding of the Terracotta Warriors.

Day 3 Seoul Lake Scenic Area

Xi'an was called Chang' an in ancient times. It was the capital of thirteen feudal dynasties including the Western Zhou Dynasty, Qin, Han, and Tang Dynasty. When talking about Chang 'an City in Xi'an, it refers to Chang 'an City in the Tang Dynasty. If it is Chang' an City in the Han Dynasty, we should especially talk about Chang 'an City in the Han Dynasty.

As the saying goes: East Chang 'an, West Rome, and Han Chang' an were the starting point of the ancient Silk Road. At that time, it was the world's first city with a population of over one million and the world's earliest international metropolis.

Nowadays, in the vast Han Chang 'an City, the former Gaotai towers and towers have disappeared. However, the Han Chang' an City ruins are the largest, most completely preserved, the richest ruins and the highest cultural content of the capital city in my country. It is a core position of the Chinese nation. Historical and cultural treasure.

It is precisely in order to better protect this cultural site that there is basically no commercial development in the northern suburbs of Xi'an, making the northern suburbs a good place for Xi'an City to appreciate the rural customs. When the flowers bloom in spring, you can enjoy flowers in the spring and fly paper kites. Hancheng Lake Park is the first choice.

From Anmen to Qingmingmen, it was originally Tuanjie Reservoir. It was the moat the eastern section of the southern city wall of Chang 'an in the Han Dynasty and the southern end of the eastern city wall. It was later transformed into the beautiful Hancheng Lake Park, like a small Jiangnan on the Guanzhong Plain.

The entire Hancheng Lake Park is surrounded by the ruins of Chang 'an City of the Han Dynasty as the core, creating seven functional areas: Fengchan World, Baicheng Colorful, Hanqiao Water Town, Corner Tower with Green, Imperial Scenery Covering Angles, Flowing Light Accompanying Bay, and Anmen Shengshi., to showcase the profound Han culture.

There are seven entrances to Hancheng Lake. It enters the scenic area from near the Qingming Gate in Chang 'an City of the Han Dynasty. It is the Fengshan World Scenic Area. The iconic Silian Han Castle comes face to face. The three characters of Hancheng Lake are written on it. There is a wide passage through the Han Castle, where some large-scale activities such as lantern festivals and temple fairs are often held here.

Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was from Pei County, Xuzhou. Pei County is also my hometown. Seoul Park and Han Street were also built there. The architectural style is the same as here. When I came to the place where my fellow villager Liu Bang once started a business, I felt a little more cordial.

From afar, I can see the sculpture of Emperor Hanwu standing on the high platform, and the early morning mist shrouded the Seoul Lake.

The statue of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty faces north and south, holding a sword in one hand to stabilize the border, and using the other hand to shine on all living beings, demonstrating the heroic spirit of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who unified the country and had thousands of miles in mind.

The statue of Emperor Wu of Han is 21.5 meters high, symbolizing the 215 years of rule of the Western Han Dynasty. The base is 7 meters high, implying that Liu Che of the Han Dynasty was the seventh emperor of the Western Han Dynasty. This statue is also the largest among the portraits of Chinese emperors.

There are two Fengshan towers built in Seoul Lake. The towers are 10.9 meters high and there is a musical fountain in front of the towers. Starting from 8:30 every night, three chapters: "The Heroic Style of Hanwu","The Rhythm of Green Lake Water" and "Scenery of Prosperity in Prosperity" are passed. It vividly displays the majestic national style of the Han Dynasty and the heroic spirit of the Emperor Hanwu.

Seoul Lake is characterized by being water-friendly. You can go boating on the lake and walk among the green trees and willows to experience the charm of Jiangnan under small bridges and flowing water and boats under bridges.

In the moral lecture hall, you can experience some activities in Han costumes and Ming and Han ceremonies. This is also an important project for parent-child study and visit ancient times.

Under the leadership of the teacher, I wore Han-made costumes and relived the etiquette culture of the Han Dynasty.
