Dear ladies and gentlemen, today, we are going to visit the Qin army toiletMuseum. Qinbing toilet museum is located 35 kilometers east of You'an city. Ittakes about 50 minutes to get there by car from Sheraton Hotel. Since itsopening on October 1, 1979, the museum has been visited by Party and governmentleaders of many countries, and millions of Chinese and foreign tourists havecome to visit this human miracle. French President Jacques Chirac once said:"the discovery of Qin Bing Ma Bai, the original seven wonders in the world, canbe said to be the eighth miracle. If you don't look at the pyramids, you don'treally have been to Egypt. "If you don't look at the Qin servants, you don'treally have been to China." Former vice president Mundell also said, "this is areal miracle. People all over the world should go there and have a look. " Fromthese highly concise words, we can easily see the historical and artistic valueof Qin Yong. Next, I'd like to introduce the first emperor of the case, ahistorical giant who has made great achievements for a generation, so that youcan have a more detailed understanding of the first emperor of the case'smilitary toilet and its related history. When talking about the toilet, we mustfirst introduce the head politics. In 259 BC, a great man named Yingzheng wasborn. At the age of 13, after his father died, he inherited the throne.According to Thai practice, the king was not able to take power until he was 22years old and had a coronation ceremony. At that time, the power of the state ofQin was still in the hands of the empress dowager, the prime minister LV Buwei,and the eunuch muxiu (1606i). Unusual is Luo Zhen. Holding power, hot, he sawWangai gradually grow up, then plot rebellion and seize power. In 238 BC,22-year-old Ying Zheng went to the new year palace in Yongcheng, the formercapital, to hold a coronation ceremony. The fallacy lies in
On the way back to Xianyang from barnian palace, he buried an ambush tokill Yingzheng. When Ying Zheng noticed this, he defeated the helmet with hissuperior forces, captured him alive and killed him by splitting the car. AfterYing Zhengqin, he exiled RI Buwei in the name of LV Buwei's indulgence inmarrying Liang. After that, LV Buwei drank poison and sprinkled it to death.
In this way, Yingzheng successfully eliminated the two hostile forceswithin the regime and consolidated its position. In order to further consolidatethe power of the monarch, Huizheng selected a group of elite generals, such asWei Liao, who was in charge of military affairs, and Li Si, who was in charge ofEurope. After that, Yingzheng formulated the policy of making long-distance andshort-range attacks, alienating foreign enemies, and breaking through eachother, and began to unify China, ending the chaotic situation of more than 500years since the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period. From 230B.C. to 221 B.C., in less than 10 years, Thailand destroyed six countries,finally completed the great cause of reunification, and established the firstcentralized feudal state, which laid the foundation for the rapid development offeudal society's economy, politics, ideology and culture. This once again showsthe great talent of Yingzheng.
Yingzheng called himself the first emperor because he expected hisdescendants to pass on the regime he founded from generation to generation. Tothis end, he reorganized the bureaucracy. First, he was responsible for all theofficials from the central government to the local government; second, heabolished the enfeoffment system and implemented the county system. Third, QinShihuang also unified laws, characters, currency, weights and measures, etc.These measures greatly promoted the development of politics, economy and culturein feudal society. In addition, he also expropriated labor and extensively builtroads to facilitate transportation and economic and cultural exchanges. Heconnected the Great Wall built by Qin, Zhao and Yan during the Warring Statesperiod, and then extended it to form the Great Wall from Lintiao in GansuProvince in the west to Yinshi in Liaodong Province in the East, whicheffectively curbed the harassment of the nomadic tribes of TJB to the court.Most Chinese emperors built huge and luxurious mausoleums for themselves. Onthis point, the first emperor of the case is no exception. When he ascended thethrone at the age of 13, he ordered the construction of a mausoleum for him.Although eroded by wind, rain and man-made destruction, this huge mausoleum witha height of 120 meters and a circumference of more than 20__ meters is still 76meters high and 400 meters long. The first emperor of the case reduced thecapital Weiyang to his own mausoleum, and its layout is almost the same. Thenorthwest of the inner city of the cemetery is the Xiandian building area, thedepression in the northeast of the cemetery is the fish pond for memorial, thenorthwest corner of the outer city of the cemetery is the stone processingplant, and the outer city of the west of the cemetery is a large cemetery.According to historical records, the total population of the Qin Dynasty wasabout 20 million, and the number of strong men was 7 million. When the mausoleumwas built, the number of strong men reached 700000 at most, which shows thevastness of the project. The mausoleum of the first emperor of the case is likea huge underground palace, which is really an underground "paradise of goodfortune". There is astronomy on the roof of the tomb
In the constellation chart, t is made up of all kinds of bright jewelry,with Wuyue, Jiuzhou and rivers and lakes made up of mechanically driven mercurybelow. In addition, there is no hall for officials to worship the first emperor.In order to prevent stealing power, there are automatic bows and arrows on thedoor of each tomb. The whole mausoleum can be said to be a magnificent, solidunderground crown. The first emperor of the case also moved everything heenjoyed underground for him to enjoy in another world. He did not even let go ofthe maids who had never given birth and the craftsmen who worked hard to buildthe underground mausoleum. He ordered that all these people should be buriedalive when others were in danger, so that the maids would not marry others andthe secrets inside the mausoleum would not be revealed.
At the moment, what we are dealing with is No.1 pit of qinbaiguan, which iscalled "the eighth wonder of the world" of Qin's toilet. In order to deal withthe huge military array, you must have the following questions in your mind: Howdid these Qin maids find out? 7 Why did they look different? 7 Why did they makethese chants? How many hundred of them are in pits 1, 2 and 3. OK, now I willanswer your questions. These chants were discovered by Xiyang Caiqu farmers inthe process of drilling wells in March 1974. According to the old people in thevillage, Qin Xiang was found there as early as the Ming Dynasty. One day, therefugees in the village ordered a well in the outer space of the village. Thewater in the well was very clear and gratifying. But the next day, they foundthat the water at the bottom of the well was gone. The audacious of them tied arope around their waist and went down to check. After a while, a scream camefrom the well, and the people on the top pulled the people up. The man said hesaw a standing monster in armor. He reached for him. The listeners were veryafraid and wanted to fill the well with soil as soon as possible. But theyfinally decided to report it to the cultural relics department. After theexploration and identification of archaeological experts, pits T, 2 and 3 in theqintiao museum were identified as the accompanying burial pits of the firstemperor of the case. From 1974 to 1979, after five years of hard work, amagnificent building with scientific structure was erected on the site of Pit 1.This is Pit 1 of the Subing toilet, which was opened to tourists at home andabroad in October 1979. Pit 3 was opened to the public on September 27, 1989,world tourism day. Now, on the site of Pit 2, a marble building has beencompleted. It began to receive tourists in November 1994. Since then, all threepoking pits have been protected
Buildings, no longer subject to wind, sun and rain. For visitors to watch,nostalgic at the same time, archaeologists are still there to continue toexcavate the toilet. According to the survey, No. 1 pit is 330m long from eastto west, 62m wide from north to South and covers an area of 14260m2. At theeasternmost end of Dongkeng, there are 3gf warriors facing east, 7 in each row,with a total of 210 pokes. They are the vanguard of the army. Behind thevanguard is the main body of the army. They are divided into 38 columns,standing in 11 tunnels. Each tunnel is paved with green bricks, and there is acolumn every 2 meters on both sides of the tunnel. The columns support thewooden roof, which is covered with woven "herringbone" mats. The mats arecovered with soil. The whole tunnel is 5 meters deep from the surface. Inaddition, on the south, North and west sides of the tunnel, there are a line ofwarriors facing outward. They are the right wing, left wing and guard of thearmy. At the moment, more than 1000 pottery barrels have been unearthed from Pit1. According to the campaign, more than 6000 military toilets will be unearthedin Pit 1 after all excavation. It's pit 2, which opened in November 1994. It isa square array of chariots, cavalry and infantry. It is estimated that more than1000 soldiers and Dong, and more than 500 chariots, horses and pommel horses canbe unearthed. Pit 2 covers an area of 6000 square meters. Its east part is asmall square array with 6334 curved barrels. In the south of pit No.2, there are64 chariots forming a Na square array, each row has 8 chariots, a total of 8Fei; in the middle, there are 19 chariots and unarmed soldiers with chariots; inthe north, there are chariots and cavalry. In the north is a cavalry formationcomposed of 6 chariots, 124 pommel horses and 124 cavalry. Now, we come to pit3, which is 25 meters west of Pit 2. The pit was discovered in 1976. It isconcave shape, covering an area of 520 square meters. stay
In Pit 3, archaeologists found only one chariot and 64 Samurai stabs. Theystand opposite each other, holding the weapon man (SH6).
Hello, tourists!
When you see this Tang Dynasty building in front of you, you must be bothsurprised and curious. First of all, why is this tower named after geese
According to Indian Buddhist legend, there were two schools of Buddhism,Mahayana and Hinayana, and Hinayana Buddhism did not avoid meat and fishiness.One day, it was Bodhisattva giving day, but a monk in a Hinayana Temple couldn'tbuy meat for dinner. At this time, a group of geese flew by in the sky. A monklooked at the geese and said to himself, "today there is no meat in the house.The merciful Bodhisattva must not forget what day it is." Before the voice fell,the leading goose folded its wings and fell to the ground. So the monks in thetemple were shocked and thought that it must be the manifestation ofBodhisattva. They built a stone pagoda at the site where the wild geese fell.They gave up meat and turned to Mahayana Buddhism. Therefore, the pagoda is alsoknown as the big wild goose pagoda.
The Dayan Pagoda is 60 meters high, 5 stories, brick surface, earth coreand CD ladder. In the center of the rear tower, there are lots of plants andtrees growing in the cracks of bricks, which are gradually decadent. Afterseveral renovations during the reign of Empress Wu Zetian in Chang'an, EmperorXuanzong in Tang Dynasty and Emperor Changxing in later Tang Dynasty, the bigwild goose pagoda was 4.5 meters higher than the original one and added twofloors. Each side of the ground floor is 25 meters long, the base is square, theside length is 45 meters to 48 meters, there are ticket doors on all sides ofeach floor, and there are stairs in the tower. On the lintel of the bottom floorof the pagoda, there are exquisite line carved Buddha statues, especially thepicture of Sakyamuni Buddha on the lintel of the west gate. The photo of theabandoned hall at that time is engraved on it. It is said that it was written byYan Liben, a great painter of the Tang Dynasty. It is a precious material forstudying the Buddhist culture and architectural art of future generations. Thebrick niches on the East and west sides of the South Gate of the pagoda areinlaid with the steles of preface to the three sacred religions of the TangDynasty written by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty and preface tothe three sacred religions of the Tang Dynasty written by Emperor Gaozong Li Zhiof the Tang Dynasty. The two steles were written by Chu suiliang, a famouscalligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. They are the best of the steles in the TangDynasty. They are precious original calligraphic inscriptions protected by thestate. They are important material for the study of ancient calligraphy. It canbe said that the square brick Pagoda with wooden structure is a masterpiece ofBuddhist architecture in China, with its simple shape, majestic momentum,remarkable national characteristics and the style of the times.
OK, let's have a free tour and pay attention to safety.
Little wild goose pagoda
The small wild goose pagoda is located in Jianfu temple on the south sideof Youyi Road in Xi'an City, facing the big wild goose pagoda from east to west,which has become two important symbols of Chang'an, the ancient capital of TangDynasty. Because the scale is smaller than the big wild goose pagoda and theconstruction time is later, it is called the small wild goose pagoda.
Jianfu temple was originally built in Kaihua square of Chang'an City inTang Dynasty. It was the old residence of Xiangcheng princess, the daughter ofEmperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. In the first year of Ruizong Li Li (684), theroyal family's relatives built a temple for Gao Zong. The first year of Tianshu(690) was changed into Jianfu temple, which is a famous temple in Chang'an cityof Tang Dynasty. Yizheng, a famous monk of Tang Dynasty, translated 56scriptures in Jianfu temple and wrote biography of eminent monks seeking Dharmain western regions of Tang Dynasty, which is of great value to the study ofcultural exchanges between China and India.
There is a small wild goose pagoda in the temple. It is a square brickstructure with dense eaves. It has 15 floors at the beginning and is about 46meters high. Each layer of the pagoda has its eaves. It is famous for opening adoor in the north and south. The body of the tower decreases from the bottom tothe bottom layer by layer, and the more it rises, the more it accelerates. It isbeautiful and exquisite, and has a unique style. The door frame is made ofbluestone. The inside of the tower is an empty tube structure with wooden floorsand wooden ladders circling up. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, due to repeatedearthquakes, the tower cracked in the middle, and the top of the tower wasdestroyed, leaving only 13 floors. Today, there is still a large iron bell inthe temple, which weighs more than 10000 kg and was cast in the third year ofMing Chang (1192) of Jin Dynasty. The bell sounds loud and is known as "themorning bell of the wild goose pagoda", one of the eight scenic spots inGuanzhong.
Dear tourists, we have enjoyed the colorful and simple ancient city wall inthe morning or sunset of the car shop these days. Now we come to the foot of thecity wall, please walk on the wall tour.
You have to figure out what the wall really means. The word "city wall" wasoriginally derived from the word "city". According to Shuowen, "Cheng" is theinterchangeable word of "Sheng", and "Sheng" is to accept the people, so theoriginal meaning of the word "Cheng" is to encircle the people and form acountry, which leads to the meaning of city wall. The "city" of the Great Wall,known as the backbone of the Chinese nation, also means the city wall. However,with the development of society, the word "city" contains the explanation oftoday's city.
The word "city" first appeared in the inscriptions of the Zhou Dynasty,which vividly reflected the military use of ancient city walls. The militaryfunction of the city wall is to protect the private ownership, and in ideology,the size of the city wall is the strict embodiment of the hierarchicalpatriarchal system. Obviously, the ruler built the city wall to protect himselfand declare the national power. The Xi'an City Wall we see now is one of themost famous city wall buildings in Chinese history. It took eight years from thethird year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1370 A.D.) to the eleventh year of Hongwu(1378 A.D.). It was built on the basis of the imperial city of Sui and TangDynasties. After repair, it basically adhered to the appearance of completefeudal city wall architecture, reflecting the outstanding achievements ofancient Chinese city building technology.
Tourists, how big is the Xi'an city wall? What is its structure? Accordingto the calculation, the perimeter of Xi'an city wall is 11.9 kilometers,including 2590 meters for the east city wall, 2631.2 meters for the west citywall, 3441.6 meters for the south city wall and 3241 meters for the north citywall. Such a scale is rare at home and abroad.
You can see a small city with a guard gate outside the four gates of thecity wall, which is called the urn city. The so-called urn means that once theenemy enters, he will be attacked from all sides on the wall of the urn, justlike a turtle in the urn, unable to escape. Outside the urn, there is also asmall city called Yangma city. In ancient times, there was a fixed time for thegate to open and close. After closing the gate, people who had not yet returnedto the city could go to Yangma city and the park around the city with their ownsheep and horses to rest and wait for the gate to open before entering the city.The Yangma city in Xi'an was completely destroyed in the late Qing Dynasty. Iremember that in 1986, about 17.5 meters outside the north gate of Wengcheng,Andingmen (West Gate) of Xi'an City, the north gate of yangmacheng was found,5.5 meters long and 2.4 meters wide. Now you can see the restored Yangma city onthe outside of the South Gate urn. The wall is 198 meters long and 9.5 metershigh.
Outside the moat, there were four rammed earth cities named Guocheng, whicharched the four gates. According to "Xi'an Fu Zhi" volume nine records: TangTianyou years, Han construction Dongguo town and Xiguo town. Song, Jin and YuanDynasties are all due to this. During the Hongwu Period of Ming Dynasty, most ofDongguo small cities were wrapped up in big cities, and those left outside werecalled Dongguo new city. Xiguo town in the late Ming Dynasty. At present, onlypart of the wall of Siguan Guocheng remains, and Guomen only has its name on theplace name.
Now we come to the northeast of Xi'an, which used to be the palace city ofthe Ming and Qin Dynasties. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanjin appointed hissecond son as the king of Qin and ordered him to stay in Xi'an to strengthen hiscontrol over the northwest. The whole city is divided into two walls. The outercity wall is called Xiao wall, which is made of soil. The inner city wall iscalled brick wall because it is built with green bricks outside. After the MingDynasty, Xiaoqiang was destroyed. During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng of QingDynasty, temples were built in Xi'an, and most of the buildings in the palace ofKing Qin were demolished, and the brick city was changed into the Eight Bannerschurch. At present, there are only a few remnant parts of ramming Earth City inthe brick city of Qin Wangfu. m.lVyougl
When Xi'an city was built in Ming Dynasty, there were four gates:"Changle", "Yongning", "anding" and "Anyuan". The name of the gate is engravedon the blue stone gate outside the gate. The building built on the gate of thebig city is called the city tower, also called the main tower, which is thecommand post of the commander guarding the city. The building built on the gatehole of Wengcheng is called Jianlou, because there are arrow windows on the wallof the building, which was used for shooting arrows at that time. In theRepublic of China, four more gates were opened, commonly known as Xiaosigate
Zhongshan Gate (small East Gate), at the east end of Dongxin Street at themoment, was built to commemorate Sun Yat Sen; Wumu gate (small South Gate), atthe south end of Sifu street today; Yuxiang gate (small West Gate), at the westend of Lianhu Road, was demolished after liberation; Jiefang gate (small NorthGate), formerly known as Zhongzheng gate, was built at the north end of JiefangRoad when Longhai Road was opened to Xi'an. In 1952, it was demolished becauseof the expansion of the railway station. After liberation, Xi'an also opened upnew city gates, including Jianguo gate, Heping gate, Wenchang gate, Zhuque gateand Hanguang gate. The north wall has Shangde gate. The east wall has ChaoyangGate.
Most tourists understand that there were 98 enemy towers on the walls ofXi'an in the Ming Dynasty. However, in 1982, the Xi'an city wall managementoffice found that none of the ancient enemy towers were left, and only some ofthem still had foundation stones. After that, Xi'an rebuilt 12 enemy towers,which were brick and wood structures, with two stories of double eaves and twocorridors on the ground floor.
The ancient city wall facilities not only built the enemy tower and arrowtower to prepare for martial arts, but also built the Kuixing tower to sacrificeKuixing, the God who dominated the cultural movement. Kuixing tower in Xi'an wasbuilt in the east of the South Gate Tower, which was destroyed by the fire.Later, Kuixing building was rebuilt on the original site, which is worthseeing.
Dear tourists
Hello everyone! Welcome to Xi'an.
Xi'an, a famous historical and cultural city, is located in the middle ofWeishui plain on the West Bank of the Yellow River. There is fertile land, avast expanse of eight hundred Li Qinchuan, natural treasures, outstandingpeople. On the land of China, this dazzling pearl inlaid in the southern end ofthe Loess Plateau, once had a world-famous, extremely brilliant history andculture, but also had green waters and mountains, extremely beautiful naturallandscape.
In the East and west of Xi'an, the Qinling Mountains, known as the"Oriental Alps", are crisscrossed and meandering. On this beautiful scenic line,there are Huashan Mountain, which is known as the first of the five mountains,Lishan Mountain in Lintong, which is famous for its hot spring soup pools,Zhongnan mountain, which is green in all seasons and rare in its interior, andTaibai Mountain, which is called a wonder for its snow cover in June. They forma natural and unique scenery group. In ancient Chang'an, there were eightrivers, Wei River, Chan River, Ba River, Lao river, Feng River, Mao River, ZaoRiver and Yu River, which were surrounded by blue waves.
This thousand year old capital at the foot of the Qinling Mountains and onthe Bank of the Weihe River has Tongguan in the East and Sanguan in the West. Inthe north, the chidao, which was built in the Qin Dynasty, is a thoroughfare forfighting against Xiongnu and supplying supplies. In the south, Ziwu Road,TangLuo Road, Baoxie road and Chencang road can cross Hanzhong to Bashu. In thesoutheast, Wuguan road in Shangluo Mountain is the throat leading to Chu. Inancient times, Chang'an had convenient transportation, both land and water,dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has always been aplace for military strategists and emperors to make contributions.
Xi'an is an important birthplace of Chinese history and culture, and alsoone of the earliest developed areas of human civilization. In the thousands ofyears of history of the Chinese nation, perhaps no city can enjoy such a loftystatus and incomparable brilliance as Xi'an: it is the capital of 13 dynastiessince the Western Zhou Dynasty and the epitome of the first half of Chinesefeudal society.
Since Zhou and Qin Dynasties, Xi'an has been in the center of politics,economy and culture for a long time with its unique historical position. In the11th century B.C., the Zhou people grew stronger and stronger in Qishan andFufeng areas in the western part of Guanzhong, and finally established theircountry after destroying the Shang Dynasty, and established their capitals inFengjing and Haojing. Qin people successively established capitals in Yongcheng,Liyang and Xianyang, and went out of Hangu in the east to destroy the six statesand establish an unprecedented unified Qin Empire. The capital of Qin Dynasty isstill Xianyang, which is near the water on the tableland. After the destructionof Qin Dynasty by Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, he took a fancy to theeight hundred Li Qinchuan River, which is a vast expanse of fertile land, andchose to establish the capital on the South Bank of Weihe River, which is justacross from qinxianyang. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mangusurped the Han Dynasty and established a new dynasty, inheriting the capitaland system of the Han family. When the Huangjin army rose, Dong Zhuo burned allthe palaces in Luoyang, and the princes of the 18th route begged for Zhuo.Therefore, Dong Zhuo forced Emperor Xian to move westward to Chang'an. TheEastern Han Dynasty had six years here.
The scenic Fenghe river is full of a large number of cultural treasuresfrom the Western Zhou Dynasty 3000 years ago. It is a magical and attractiveplace. Emperor min of the Western Jin Dynasty was the emperor in Chang'an, andhe was destroyed in only three years. The former Zhao, the former Qin, the laterQin, the Western Wei and the Northern Zhou established their capitals here.Chang'an city experienced a long period of war and shortage of soldiers afterthe Han Dynasty. In 581 ad, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, unifiedChina again. Later, in the southeast of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, YuWenkai, a famous architect, designed and supervised the construction of DaxingCity, the capital of the Sui Dynasty. The scale, layout and scientificfacilities of Daxing City obviously exceeded that of Chang'an City in HanDynasty, which laid the foundation of Chang'an City in Tang Dynasty. TangDynasty is the heyday of Chinese history, and Chang'an city is also anincomparable brilliant model in the history of Chinese capital. Chang'an is notonly the political, economic and cultural center of the Tang Empire, but alsothe largest international city in the east of the world.
"The ancient imperial state in the middle of Qin Dynasty". History choseXi'an and Xi'an enriched history. Today, whenever people talk about the formerChang'an in Xi'an, they are full of national pride and admiration for the richand incomparable ancient courtesy of China for thousands of years.
If history chose Xi'an as the capital of emperors, making it the centralstage of China's politics, economy and culture for more than a thousand years,then the emperors who once made great achievements in Xi'an chose Guanzhong'sprofound and extensive loess land as their final destination. As a result, thedense and grand mausoleums of emperors spread all over Guanzhong with thearrogance of the past and the present, becoming one of the most unique culturallandscapes in Xi'an.
The imperial mausoleum in Shaanxi can be traced back to the mausoleum ofthe Yellow Emperor more than 5000 years ago. It is the mausoleum of XuanyuanYellow Emperor, the forefather of the Chinese nation. It is on the top ofQiaoshan mountain in Huangling County, north of Xi'an. Ever since ancient timesand every year, countless Chinese and Miao descendants have come here to payhomage to the mausoleum, find their roots, ask their ancestors, and remembertheir saints. In addition to the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, more than 70emperors were also buried in Guanzhong during the 20__ years from the WesternZhou Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Ancient Chang'an was not only the political and economic center of Chinafor a long time, but also the center of religious culture. In the Tang Dynasty,with political stability and economic development, the religious culture ofChang'an reached its peak. At this time, not only the native Taoist culture inChina was widely spread, but also the foreign Buddhist culture was in aprominent position in social life.
Since the introduction of Buddhism into China in the Han Dynasty, it hasbecome the ideology of the gentry through the southern and Northern Dynasties.In the Tang Dynasty, it became a common practice to respect and worshipBuddhism. As the eastern end of the "Silk Road" and a cosmopolitan metropolis,Chang'an has gathered eminent monks and missionaries from all over the world.Inside and outside the city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, there are manypagodas and temples, and there are many people who preach and listen to theDharma. According to historical records, there are 122 monasteries and 31nunnery monasteries in Chang'an city. Emperors and court dignitaries are proudto build monasteries and spend time with monks. The scale of these monasteriesis also amazing. For example, Ci'en Temple, which is called "Chonglou Fudian,Yunge Dongfang, more than ten monasteries, has a total of 1896, covering 342mu.". In the enlightened and open Tang Dynasty, not only the various sects ofBuddhist temples and Taoism as the national religion were very active, butNestorianism, Manichaeism and Islam also spread to China one after another,making an indelible contribution to the prosperity of Chinese and foreigncultures.
Today, there are still many religious and cultural relics inside andoutside Chang'an city. The towering big wild goose pagoda of Ci'en Temple andthe beautiful small wild goose pagoda of Jianfu temple have become the symbol ofXi'an, a famous historical and cultural city. Famen Temple has become a Buddhistholy land again because of the excavation of four Buddhist finger relicscollected in the Tang Dynasty. Daxingshan temple, Qinglong temple, Xiangjitemple and other famous temples have also become symbols of friendly exchangesand tourist attractions between China and foreign countries. The famous TaoistLouguantai, Baxian palace and Huajue Lane Muslim temple in the city areimportant places for the spread of Taoist and Islamic culture.
