Xiang Yi and his mother came to the Northern Shanxi Plateau from the Northern Shaanxi Plateau and came to Shanxi, where they introduced a rare wooden pagoda to people.
In the Fogong Temple of Ying County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province, there is a wooden tower, which was built in the second year of Liaoning Qingning, and has been more than 1,000 years ago. It is the world's tallest and oldest existing pure wooden pavilion-style building, and is known as the "world's three strange towers" together with the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy and the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The wooden pagoda in Yingxian County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province, like the Zhaozhou Bridge, is a wonderful example of China's civil engineering construction industry and bridge building, and it is also a story that we know in our primary school textbooks.
Yingxian wooden tower is a Buddha palace temple Shakya tower, about 1,000 feet high, seven layers and eight sides, up and down exquisite. Although it has been subjected to wind and rain erosion and many earthquakes for a long time, due to the extreme design and flexible mortise and tenon structure, the tower is like a swing when the ground shakes, but it will eventually return to the center.
I noticed that when explaining the wooden pagoda of Yingxian County, it showed the profound skills of doctoral scholars and the proper use of professional knowledge in civil engineering and architecture.
When answering the question of why the wooden pagoda in Yingxian County can be preserved intact, Xiang Yi said: Our ancient buildings are mostly used for wood, unlike marble used in the West. Wood is perishable and can catch fire. Therefore, the very glorious buildings such as Daming Palace and Afang Palace have been wiped out.
The wooden pagoda of Yingxian County has been more than 1,000 years old, how can it be preserved intact?
Xiang Yi said: Look closely, it is more shocking. The first reason is from its foundation. The total weight is more than 3,000 tons, layer by layer of bucket arches. The load is transferred to the columns, each of which has an average load of 110 tons. The pillar then transmits the force to the foundation. The foundation above ground is 6.6 meters, and there are 4 meters underneath, giving the wooden tower a very solid base. Horizontal pulling of the left and right sides of the beam, in the earthquake and wind when the mortise and tenon in the arch can be movable and displaced, and can absorb a lot of energy, just like the spring and damping device, so to ensure its impact resistance and seismic performance.
Another reason why the wooden tower can stand is that the raw materials it uses are elm and pine, which are of high quality. It is said that wet for a hundred years, dry for a thousand years, not wet or dry for a year or two, which means that in the wettest and driest environment, it can be well preserved, the environment here is very dry, and the evaporation is many times higher than the rainfall. There are also moisture drain holes around the foundation. So keep the wooden tower dry.
Xiang Yi said that now the wooden tower has tilted, but maintenance has been a problem.
To describe this wooden tower in one sentence, it is appropriate to say, it is amazing!
Netizens commented:
“腹有诗书气自华，为相宜点赞！”
"It's not a loss of knowledge, every node is in place, making full use of the knowledge learned, and terms such as stress transmission are not something that every broadcaster can explain thoroughly. Kudos to the appropriateness. ”
"It's appropriate to find a direction that fits your academics. Come on. ”
"Xiang Yi is a student of architecture, and he should be handy when talking about wooden towers"
No matter which scenic spot is explained, it is very down-to-earth, and it makes people understand and listen comfortably!
