This small county, located in the northern part of Jinzhou, Liaoning, has a small area, but has become a must -have for soldiers because of the famous Liaoxi Corridor.

In the process of history, there are always some names that can not be bypassed in history books because of their natural attributes, and they have been remembered. "Yi County" is. This small county, located in the northern part of Jinzhou, Liaoning, has a small area, but has become a must -have for soldiers because of the famous Liaoxi Corridor.

The western Liaoning Corridor is the place where the Central Plains and the Northeast are connected. The northern nation can be driven directly here. Based on this, the Central Plains dynasty can properly defend the frontiers invasion. Therefore We will be born with heroes and counselors, and we are most familiar with the Ming Dynasty famous general Yuan Chonghuan. However, before that, there was also a woman who was in the wind.

The trajectory of Wu Zetian's top is similar. Empress Xiao Xiao was smart and capable since she was young. Historical materials recorded that her dad was a Liao Dynasty. Once a few children were working on housework and found that others ended. The family cleaned up neatly, that is, praise: This woman will be a big deal. Later, her dad assisted the emperor and gave her to the emperor as the queen. The emperor was frail and sick, and the queen was smart and capable. Later things could be imagined. One of the illnesses, one diligent in political affairs, the emperor succeeded his son after the collapse, and the Empress Dowager's regent. During the period, Liao entered the heyday and fought many times with the Northern Song Dynasty. Alliance. The essence of the war is to plunder the resources to the headquarters, but the process inevitably allows the people to suffer from the spirit of the people.

After her son succeeded, in order to commemorate the dead mother and the six emperors who had been in Liao Dynasty to him, he built a royal temple that has been reserved to this day -Fengguo Temple, and the Seven Buddha statues in the Daxiong Temple. Liang Sicheng once evaluated Feng Guo Temple: Millennium National Treasures, Supreme National Treasures, and Rare Treasures. Those who come to Yixian will come here to visit.

This millennium ancient temple has been caught in difficulties since its completion. It has gone through the tragic wars of Jinliao and the great earthquakes of the Yuan Dynasty, but neither was damaged. Temple staff told us that this is due to the tenon -and -mortise structure of the building. Standing in the Daxiong Hall, you can clearly see the frame, bucket arch, beam, and squares of the wooden structure of the hall. It is supported by the huge wooden pillars. The wooden pillar is not buried underground, but is located on the basis of the stone pillar. The wood column and the stone pillar can be dislocated to resolve the earthquake wave. The position makes the overall architecture unattainable, which is amazing the wisdom of the ancestor. It is said that during the liberation war, the Liaoning and Shen battle attacked a shell in Jinzhou through the roof on the statue of the Buddha statue of Shakyamuni, crushing the lotus seat in front of him, and there was no explosion on the ground, as if there were Buddhas who were blessing.

This temple is also known as the three major temples of the Liao Dynasty with Dudu Temple of Jizhou, Tianjin, and Datong Temple in Shanxi. I have visited these three ancient temples. Compared with the majesty, Fengguo Temple is far away from the secular, and the ancient fragrance is more vicissitudes.

At that time, Wang Jiawei filmed the film "A Grand Master", and several important martial arts and literary opera were shot here. Zhang Ziyi played Palace Er because his father died in the hands of the traitor, regardless of the world's eyes and the opposition, and determined to avenge his father. In order to find spiritual support, she sought guidance in front of the Buddha. Among the deep and far -reaching halls, the light of the Buddha lamps flickered, and the superb shooting method of Wang Jiawei made the play quite meditated.

When we visited, the expert team from the Shaanxi Cultural Relics Protection Research Institute was repairing the colorful Buddha statue. The staff in the temple introduced that the restoration of the work consumes huge sums of money and lasts, and it is a huge project. In front of the Buddha statue, the experts were focusing on the work under the light, which was fascinating and seemed to be like a dream. The great Buddha who has seen too many secular disputes is not surprised, as if saying: the world is chaotic, but it is Yunyan, how do you not participate?

There are poems in life, but there is no so -called

Far, because it is in front of it,

Every one I recorded with my pen with my pen

moment.
