Humanistic rooftop 丨 Wufeng Building

　　Speaking of the "Five Phoenix Building", it is impossible not to be associated with the Tiantai man "Pang Dwarf" who served as an official in the Ming Dynasty.　In the Tiantai countryside, the story of the "Pang Dwarf Emperor" can be said to be known to women and children. According to legend, "Pang Dwarf" did not want to have a male and female affair with the empress dowager during the imperial period, and he loved it unforgettable. One day, the emperor returned to the dynasty, and the acting emperor naturally gave way. However, he was inseparable from the empress dowager, and his steps were a little sluggish when he walked down the steps of the palace. He couldn't help but look back frequently, how he hoped that the lattice window of the Five Winds Building would squeak open and appear the familiar and affectionate beauty. The huge people who have been entangled in love are somewhat unguarded. Not wanting the emperor to notice his abnormal behavior at this time, the emperor asked, "Why did Pang Aiqing look back in five steps?" The huge man's face suddenly turned pale, and he was in a hurry to calm down and kneel: "Back to the emperor, Wei Chen's five steps and one look back are the five phoenix buildings of the emperor." After answering this, the spine of the huge man was already in a cold sweat, his legs were weak, and he raised his eyes to look at the emperor with trepidation. The emperor laughed, he was not only blinded by the words of the huge people, but also ordered the painters in the palace to paint the "Five Phoenix Tower" and give them to the huge people, and allowed him to build it outside the palace. So there is a "Five Phoenix Tower" on the rooftop.

　　This anecdote legend full of bizarre love affairs is purely flawed for those who know a little about history, like a fig leaf that is stretched thin. Emperor Pang Pan is a scene that has never happened in history, even the "Acting Emperor" cannot take his turn as an advisor. But the common people are relishing this legend that someone has made up, after all, the person who wears a "green hat" to the emperor is an unusual figure no matter what.

　　"Pang Dwarf" big name is Pang Pan, the word original, the number of shibi, born in 1450 AD in a gray cottage in tiantai houpaimen village, when he was a child, Pang Pan was also ill-fated, his parents died early, living with his brother and sister-in-law, he often went to the neighbor's house with a bowl in his hand when he was hungry. It is this teenager with a bumpy fate since childhood, short in stature, but his eyes are arrogant and arrogant, and his speech is full of vigor. At the age of twenty, he was a jinshi, and at the age of forty he was appointed as an advisor to the DPRK. As an official in the dynasty, he still did not lose his sharp disposition, and he did not know whether he had cultivated a straightforward nature since childhood, or whether he really did not understand the set of eunuchs in the official field. He spoke bluntly, and the extremely penetrating voice reverberated uninhibited in the heavily fortified palace hall, like a piercing sunlight, making many officials of the same dynasty carry needles, including the emperor himself. Emperor Mingying twice stopped issuing his fengyin. But his iron-boned, upright "hard" strength still did not change. Gradually, he became famous throughout the imperial court for "impeachment does not avoid the bones of power, and directly moves the world", and also entered the thick "History of Ming". The Pang Pan in life is very different from the legendary one who is obsessed with the love of his children and has a crazy temperament.

　　Today, this Wufeng Tower, which has endured hundreds of years of wind and rain, still stands majestically on the hillside in front of Houpaimen Village, and has become the gate of the Pang Ancestral Hall. In front of the building is a bay pond. The Wufeng Building, reflected in the ripples of light, appeared full of spirit.

　　This three-bay wooden building is indeed different from the local house, it has a heavy eaves and angle, it looks like a three-story building is actually two floors, and the brick wall on the ground floor is obviously rebuilt by later generations. The Wufeng Tower in front of him looked old and haggard, and the grace and magnificence of that year had faded with the passage of time. But in the eyes of the people, between the bricks and the rubble, the supreme royal atmosphere was revealed at all times.

　　Pang Pan placed this royal building in his hometown, not only to allow his fathers and fellow villagers in his hometown to admire the style of the royal building as they wish, but also to get some kind of comfort for his own soul. The huge man who had returned to his hometown put down the book in his hand, stood up from the recliner, and slowly paced to the hillside in front of the village, squinting his eyes, staring for a long time at the Wufeng Tower, which was painted golden by the afterglow of the sunset, with a grim look, what did he think? Did he still think about the sound of the sun in the palace, or the hard ,......。 when he was stopped from offering silver? In this secluded small mountain village, Wufenglou became the epitome of his lifelong political career.　The tombstones and tomb passages of the huge people, as well as the stone people and stone horses, were destroyed as the "four olds". After the reconstruction of the Pang clan's people, the hillside is bare, the huge tombstone appears abrupt and lonely, the sun and the breeze are here without restraint, and naturally the ancient charm is not felt, only the Wufeng Tower by the pond is still standing.
