Five sets with three voices
2023-02-09
Wutai Mountain, as a world landscape heritage site, is known as the "living fossil of Chinese traditional music" for its Sanskrit sound and ethereal and melodious Buddhist music that have passed through more than 1000 years of time and space. However, the "three voices" of Mount Wutai, which have not been influenced by most passers-by, are called the voice of the air by local people and guests who have experienced it. The three ethereal sounds are bell, bell and wave. The most representative ring tone of Mount Wutai is the wind ring on the Great White Tower, the landmark building of Mount Wutai that stands high in the sky in Tayuan Temple. The Great White Pagoda is 83.8 meters in circumference, 75.3 meters in overall height and 56.4 meters in height. It is a Nepalese style pagoda designed and built by Nepalese craftsman Anigo in 1301, and is also the highest building of the existing bowl tower of the Yuan Dynasty in China. The base of the Great White Pagoda is octagonal in the east, west, south, north, southeast, northeast, southwest and northwest. The upper thirteen floors of the tower body are composed of thick and thin wheel shapes, called the Thirteen Days, also known as the Thirteen Phase Wheels. The thirteen days are covered with eight copper plates, which are installed according to the eight trigrams of dry, ridge, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun and Dui. 36 copper hanging eaves are hoisted on the eaves, and a total of 108 wind chimes are installed, along with 252 waist wind chimes. When the wind blows and the bell rings, the wind blows and the wind blows in all directions, forming a leisurely rhythm. In the windy seasons of spring, autumn and winter in Wutai Mountain, the wind whistles, and the brass bells hoisted at the eaves and waist of the Great White Pagoda blow. With the wind moving slowly, the bell sounds melodious and melodious. Especially in the dead of night, the ringing bell, which sounds with the wind and sounds melodious, lingers in the night sky in the core scenic area, like a clear music. Bell, a percussion instrument in ancient China. Since Buddhism was introduced into China in the Han Dynasty, the clock has entered Buddhist temples, which are generally symmetrical with the drum tower and are listed in front of the central axis of the temple. There are about 50 big bells cast in different dynasties before the Republic of China in Wutai Mountain, but the largest and loudest ones are the Youming Bell in the bell tower of Xiantong Temple, Kaishan Temple, which was built in the Yongping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The nether world clock, which is hung in the clock tower named "Seizur Daqian", was cast in 1620 (the 48th year of the Wanli calendar of the Ming Dynasty). The clock is 1.64 meters tall, about 8 centimeters thick, 1.8 meters outside diameter, and weighs 9999.5 kilograms. In the past, the monks and nuns of Mount Wutai wrote their names on paper and pasted them on the bell, meaning to coexist with the bell. Visitors can also go to the clock tower and paste a note with the name of their deceased relatives on the clock body to express their grief and wishes to their relatives with the sound of the bell. In recent years, with the rapid increase of tourists to Mount Wutai, in order to protect cultural relics and avoid the damage caused by the overload of historic sites, tourists have been declined to visit and crash. Now it is only used for fixing the night, that is, 108 sounds in the morning and 108 sounds in the evening, which means breaking the long night in the morning and alarming sleep. In the twilight, I feel the twilight of the road. Originating from the Qingshui River at 3061.1 meters above sea level and known as the "roof of North China" under the north platform of Mount Wutai, the Qingshui River has a total length of 163 kilometers, with a general clear water flow of 2.78 cubic meters per second, and finally flows into the Hutuo River at 624 meters above sea level, which joins the Hai River and then flows into the Bohai Sea. This Qingshui River, known as the mother river of Mount Wutai, flows from the mouth of Zixia Valley into the scenic spot of Mount Wutai and flows through 10
