As the oldest park in Taiyuan, the ancient construction, old sites, monuments, etc. of the Wenxun Park surrounded by different historical periods are the only well -preserved 10,000 -character buildings in China on the east side of the garden.

The 10,000 -character building is named after looking down on its architectural form. Because of its auspicious meaning in Buddhism, the ancients boldly applied it to the architectural plane layout and roof style. top".

The 10,000 -character building in Taiyuan City, founded in 1930, was a birthday gift from Yan Xishan, then the then Shanxi Governor, to his father. Father Yan Shutang, Zi Ziming, this 10,000 -character building is also called "Ziming Library".

Carving beams and painted buildings, antique 10,000 -character buildings, architectural planes are "卍" shape, which means "everything is like" and "noble life". There is one door on each side of the east and west, north and south, the north gate is positive, the door opens the air, and the door is closed. Therefore, it is warm in winter and cool in winter.

The two -story building -style building, the overall area of ​​936.4 square meters, a total of 29 rooms. The roof is cleverly combined with double ridge curly roof and the four panes. The roof of the curved eaves. The roof "卍" character is set up in the middle of the "mouth" patio, which is different from the basic layout of the remaining two universal buildings.

So where are the other two -type buildings? One is one of the forty scenes of the Yuanmingyuan "Wanfang Anhe", and the second is the agricultural test site of the Qing Dynasty, which is the predecessor of the Beijing Zoo today.

Wan Fang'an, the first built in the early years of Yongzheng, is the earliest known -shaped building. Wanfangan and the base are built in the middle of the pool, surrounded by water on all sides, and the "卍" shape of the shape of the shape of the shape of the shape of the shape of the shape of 33 tortuous temples is built. The emperor's throne is set in the middle. "Anhe", the winter is warm in summer, and it is one of the favorite palaces of Yongzheng.

At the same time, the name of "Wanfang Anhe" has a strong political meaning. Qianlong has poetry: Wanfang returns, and he is willing to peace. From the poems, it is not difficult to see that Wanfang'an and the containing all Fang returned to Daqing rule, praying for the meaning of the world's peace and peace. It symbolizes the permanent inheritance of the Qing Dynasty and the permanent peace of peace. It is a pity that in the Second Opium War, Wanfangan and Suiyuan Mingyuan destroyed the plundering of the British and French forces together, which made people sigh.
