The Yangtze River Daily-Yangtze River Network (Reporter Zhu Dehua) There are a large number of Guanyutang in Wudang Mountain Palace, but if you talk about the clever structure, you have to mention the "one-pillar twelve beam" building-Wuyun Tower. On August 6, I read the visiting group of China -Hubei Qianli Yangtze River Xiangxiangxiang Xiangyang Metropolis along the Yangtze River, and came to the Wuyun Tower of Wudang Mountain Mountain Mountain Prince Po.

Wuyun Tower is built on the Mount Wudang Mountains, with a total of 5 floors and 15.8 meters high. It is the highest wooden building in the existing Wudang mountain. Visits found that Wuyun Tower adopted a traditional construction process. The walls, compartments, and doors and windows are wooden structures. The internal halls of each floor are adapted to local conditions and each has its own changes. The most famous part of Wundonglou is the "one -pillar twelve beam" on its top floor.

Entering Wuyun Tower, the members of the visiting regiments picked up their mobile phones and took this rare masterpiece of architecture. The small members stretched out their fingers, and there were twelve beams.

Shu Chenghai, a librarian of the Wudang Mountains Museum, introduced to the visiting group that the so -called "one pillar twelve beams" is to support twelve beams on a main column. In other words, twelve beams that carry the weight of the roof, cross -stacked on a column, deserved the reputation of the "mainstay". This kind of construction technology is harmonious and unified with practical functions, clever ideas, and computes, which can not only save materials, but also increase the space, making people have to sigh the great wisdom of ancient Chinese people.

Shu Chenghai said that the architectural pattern of Wuyunlou is the embodiment of the unique concept of Wudang Mountain. The location of Wuyun Tower is a slope. If you excavate the mountain or fill the slope, it will violate the ecological protection concept of "the identity of the Yamamoto", so the construction staff came up with the "one pillar twelve beam beams. "The solution to wrap the slope with a pavilion building. This bold and wise masterpiece has been highly praised by people, so that they have forgotten the original title of Wuyun Tower, and call the entire building as "one pillar twelve beams".
