"Gold Zhangye, silver Wuwei, gold and silver are not changed into Tianshui."
This is an ancient city that pushed Chinese civilization to 8,000 years ago
This is a historical and cultural city known as the "hometown of the Xi Emperor"
It is a charming city with four distinct seasons and pleasant livability
This is China's excellent tourist city - Tianshui.
The city of Tianshui is somewhat different from the gansu people think.
I always thought it was "Jingo Iron Horse, Long River Sunset", but in fact it was "Crab leaf, white dew is frost".
I always think that it is "the wind and sand are full of sand, and the camel bells of the desert", but in fact, it is "the so-called Iraqi people, on the water side".
The Book of Poetry, Qin Feng's "Crab Leaf", is about the "Longshang Jiangnan" in the Tianshui area.
Tianshui is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization and the Chinese nation, the geometric center of China's territory, 8,000 years ago in Dadiwan was born the light of civilization, the ancestors here have mastered the cultivation of dryland grain, they are also the first people in China to burn painted pottery, carve symbols, and build palace-like buildings.
The Fuxi clan, the Nüwa clan, and the Xuanyuan clan were successively born here.
"Tianshui has many alleys, north and south, intertwined and involved, many city wells, fireworks, mixed with chicken and garlic skin, it has become a human life."
Enter the old city of Tianshui, the quaint atmosphere paved, Fuxi Temple, Temple of Literature, north and south houses scattered in the city, with the construction of modernization, like many cities, many old buildings slowly disappeared in people's vision, but in Tianshui City, still left the imprint of the old Tianshui people's life.
Tianshui writer Wang Xuan described it this way in "Nancheng Root".
Nanzhaizi, which is the only typical Ming Dynasty ancient residential building complex in Gansu Province and rare in the country, has now been opened as the Tianshui Folk Museum.
The reason why it is called "South House" is because there is also a "North House" opposite it, and these two houses were built by a father and son.
The southern mansion was built in the seventeenth year of the Ming Wanli calendar (1589 AD), and the northern mansion was built in the 43rd year of the Wanli calendar (1615 AD) for his son Hu Xin, both father and son were famous courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the townspeople were known as "father and son xiangxian".
Fuxi Temple - the first temple of the Creator God
The ancestor of the Chinese nation, Fu Xishi is the earliest documented creation god in China.
Legend has it that he was born in the Chengji Dynasty, which is today's Tianshui. A painting opens the sky and creates gossip.
The Fuxi Temple, which was built in the nineteenth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1483 AD), was made the first temple of Fuxi under the heavens by Emperor Wuzong of Ming, thus establishing its official authority.
The main hall of the Fuxi Temple is the Xiantian Hall, which enshrines a statue of the Fuxi clan.
A fallen cooper tree pressed against the roof of the main hall, but fortunately it was supported. Entering the temple, you can look up and see the "Innate Bagua" and "Sixty-Four Gua" azimuth maps painted by the smallpox of Aoi.
Nothing in Tianshui can be more attractive than Maiji Mountain, which is a lone peak of Xiaolong Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, "a cluster of looks, like the shape of folk wheat", hence the name.
From the Later Qin (384-417) of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, people opened caves here, these grottoes are mostly chiseled above the cliffs and cliffs tens of meters high, after more than a thousand years of excavation and repair, the achievement of the cliff Buddha kingdom we see today.
The Maijishan Grottoes should be the most low-key of the four major grottoes in China, even in the province, Gansu itself has many grottoes, although it is also a world cultural heritage, but the limelight is completely suppressed by the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes.
If the highlight of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes lies in the murals, then the sculptures of the Maijishan Grottoes are the biggest attraction. Among the 221 caves that exist, there are still 10,632 clay sculptures, which are of various shapes and come to life.
There are boardwalks connecting the large and small Buddhist caves, and the narrowness of the boardwalk can only accommodate one person to pass. Now the hardening of the boardwalk has greatly enhanced the safety, but there is still a feeling of fear of heights when boarding the boardwalk.
The earthquake of the Tang Dynasty shook the entire grotto into the two cliffs of the east and west today, from the east cliff up the mountain, at the bottom of the mountain you can see the iconic East Cliff Buddha (13 caves) of the Maijishan Grottoes, which was carved in the Sui Dynasty's "Huayan Three Saints" - Shakyamuni Buddha and Puxian and Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Tianshui Wushan County rape flower
Unlike the pure golden yellow of other places, the rape flowers in the Wushan land are based on the green wheat fields as the meridian, and the golden canola flowers are used as the latitudes, and they bloom beautifully among the mountain beams and ravines.
Whether it is in Tange Qizhuang, Chengguan Nanyu, or in Simen Xiliang, Mandarin Duck Guangwu, casually ascend a high ground, overlooking a large area of golden flowers, as vast as the ocean, constantly spreading and flowing.
