August 9 Xi'an opened his eyes, has bid farewell to the Gobi, the present is the high loess slope. Winds in a canyon next to the train forward more than an hour, I feel the Yellow River on the side.
In Baoji eaten lunch, and finally wait for the three kinds. Xi'an, I am back!
Hurry back to the University of Architecture and Technology Guest House to lay down their luggage, I would ride to the Grand Mosque. On the train listening to people say that the mosque is worth a place, but also all apparent seriousness, that it is the world's only Chinese classical style of Islamic places of worship. I am afraid that is not the only bar, Dongguan Mosque in Xining has also used the classical Chinese architectural forms ah. Since it is kind words addressed to it, certainly had extraordinary.
Come to the Drum Tower, sneaking into the feel of the north lane, Douzhuan a few minutes to find. A Muslim uncle gave me a "mosque travel guide", open you'll see that this has been tightly surrounded the mosque in residential flat elongated bar, four Jinyuan Luo, Shen Shenshen yard dash?
A small gate from the north, brick front was immediately attracted large screen wall and wood arch. Arch Qiaojiao a patchwork of cascading, it really is a classical Chinese style. China Construction emphasis on enclosure, particularly in the construction are often completely surrounded by neighboring Therefore, from the Muslims to enter mosques, as quite different come to a different another world. Wood arch followed by the five buildings, you can see through the floor, five behind the courtyard, the China Construction is through such a "hiding" a "Dew" to attract you. 5 House of Hard Hill, a rare move off, with beautiful light wood arch of the Qing Dynasty style is different and perhaps more ancient buildings.
Across the five floor stone face is a solemn and prudent arch - the second into the start. Four-three stone arch with a carved stone brackets bearing Tautant wind stone "roof", starkness, but behind the two-pass towering monument on the detailed craftsmanship Diao more.
By Chik repair into the hall into the third. Hall allegedly Chik repair the whole history of the earliest temple a temple, when the Ming dynasty temple rebuilt the main gate can be seen in front of the arch, monument after the construction of the Ming Dynasty as a prelude to complex sequences. Chik repair Temple held between the open-shelf to retain the Song dynasty style, decorated with arches of Arab worship patterns. No. 3 Jinyuan La center building is octagonal two-story double eaves Cuanjian Ding's "worry" flats, towering tall and exquisitely beautiful. "Worry flat" shapes of the unique, the upper double eaves, though slightly lower than the contraction, still appears majestic huge. Have lap two pillars can turn around the ring floor. The "Pavilion", "House" By combining the architectural image of the aftertaste me a long time. Traditional Chinese architecture and Islamic art style combined with each other's trick, when the number of "worry floor" as an excellent representative. She was Muslim known as "Bunker House", the equivalent of the Arab mosque minaret.
Even through the three doors, Phoenix kiosks pop up. Style and wood arch are extremely similar, but instead save Xieshan Ding tip. Main Pavilion hexagonal, triangular side kiosks, pavilions connected to the Phoenix wings. Its beautiful detail to speculate that it and wooden memorial arch built on the same period. Phoenix Pavilion are two fish ponds after the pond Stones for the peak, pool weeks puzzle carved railings, the use of classical garden practices. Railings Rock Road glorious luxury, just like the Royal garden style, Chen Chu west of the solemn and sacred worship hall.
Embark on large platforms, worship hall let you feel her towering majesty of "under the Provisional He" (Dianzhong horizontal tablet inscription refers to awe). Hall 7 intermittent mountain, blue glazed tile roof cover. Said hall can accommodate 1000 people at worship, but into the deep 9. This is surprising, China's ancient buildings were as many as seven nine into it? ! Really want to go look at it, but outsiders can not enter. So I guess after the prayer hall is divided into three parts of the former in so is consistent with the "Nine into the" argument.
A group of European tourists to take photographs in front of the hall, noise, the solemn atmosphere destroyed. Originally, "to have friends from afar", but they do not know how to respect the Islamic culture, do not know how to respect the Chinese culture, guys, people despise!
As in the Dongguan Mosque, as backlighting to increase the difficulty of filming. Anti-turn over, trees flowers and light and shadow to floor, Taiwan Pavilion, Hall put on one group variegated, it would be a good subject.
Of Cox Lane mosque, Song, Ming and Qing style of North Korea co-exist, so for people to guess monasteries built as early as in the Song dynasty. A collection of many Chinese buildings a few Korean style, different monomers are usually between the age difference. I think, probably because the use requirements and building technology continues to improve, building to the construction of the expansion; the same time, because in the history of Chinese architecture, construction technology and mature early, the lack of a qualitative leap in architectural style, so there is no co-existence of all North Korea-style inconsistency sense. In this way, Chinese architecture is like a history book, you can find it from a single building, the corresponding age. As for Syria and scholars put forward the "Tang Dynasty emperor to support the 'An-' officers and men of the Arab Empire, promised that they can retain the capital, the Chinese women can get married, and Chi Jian mosque," saying that the mosque was built in the Tang Dynasty. Stone Temple inscription has a similar record. However, according to in-depth research, in the Tang Dynasty, here are within the palace can not have religious buildings. Probably the Song dynasty, Hui lived here, the court then has the mosque moved to here any more.
To leave the mosque, I went to Forest of Stone Tablets to buy calligraphy extension products, by the way board walls. I remember two weeks ago to the bell tower from the forest of steles, walking is the section of track, when the first arrived here and could not help but express some emotion, and now Jingru to meet old friends, nothing should make a fuss of.
Bought back a copybook, experienced, this time with 30 dollars to actually buy a Mi Fu and Tang Yin total of eight Tuo goods! Unfortunately, I wish Chih-shan's sold out, and for another "Jiangnan learned one," and enjoy a display of the top bar.
Climb the city walls is Dusk. But finally up, and also live up to this trip.
