Had heard that the southern suburbs of Pass Shihfang Gongxian County known as "the first southern Sichuan Corner" reputation, but it is hosted in China's ancient traditions - Festival filial piety, but also deeply attracted me, and finally a sunny weekend, Motorcycle riding has long been admired to glimpse the face of it.
Proceeding from the kung county town, the taxi companies for one hour, it is far saw Shihfang dark figure, in the sunlight appeared to be very tall and straight. Approached it, and even more it feels tall, the whole Shihfang blocks north to south, height of about seventeen or eighteen meters, 89 meters wide, the windward side of wind and rain erosion have been into blue black. Shihfang the north slope of a stone, indicate this on the Square is a local kung-sheng XIE Qing Dynasty is established in the industry for his mother Square section of filial piety, in Tao-kuang 28 years (AD 1848) to commence construction, which lasted three and a half completed, dating back than 150 years of history, is still forceful, simple and elegant. Whole Shihfang is divided into three levels, Square body is composed of four columns of the main entrance and two side doors, side door on both sides adopt a drum carved stone screen plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum four gentlemen and make poems, and then further point of view that is categorized a variety of relief, engraved, and a gentleman farmer, reading, flowers, insects, fish, both the ancient legend of the demon god, but also the story of dynasties, and then and lifelike, almost certain to form a variety of animals, can be described as lively and vivid, exquisite peerless, especially 12 Goshawk wings in general cornices, so that the whole Shihfang disclosed in the perils sad and dreary autumn wind blows, the ancient rhyme. Shihfang third floor north and south sides respectively, the cross-Kannei book, "Rong Zeng Hua Gun" and "live by the day" the running script, Shihfang Emperor Daoguang highest point of the text is written by the "sacred" word of , the lateral column is sometimes also appointed local officials, celebrities inscribed couplets, pipe grid of the body, natural and graceful, the content is also a glorification of chastity, commitment and rain-en and the like, quite a mouthful.
About Shihfang construction, land of the farmer with great interest to me told a story: It is said that Shihfang near completion when the congregation of how craftsmen have the maximum of a "ding" carried to the top and frustrated Square, which When the foreman to the one from the street through the old advice, the old man eloquently said: "I live so a lot of age, buried in the mud faster neck, and there are Shazi way yo!" Industry minds sea sudden inspiration or come up with countermeasures, and then go back to thank the old man, has been missing. As a result, craftsmen with dirt and stones lay a solid foundation for the top of the heap to Shihfang smoothly completed the project in the auspicious, while the mysterious old people from gossip become a much-told story. Farmer also told me that the early years still hanging cornices Campanula, breeze blowing, ring tones, crisp, but because of disrepair, these wind chimes has disappeared, leaving only the lonely Shihfang want to tell the world about, kept trained on a Sadako of women's history.
As the sun sets, bid farewell to this majestic Shihfang high and steep, setting sun will be "sacred" word Ying was blood red, as we marvel when superb artisan nature's intricate, but also more of a right of ancient working women the respect and compassion, this may appear glory Shihfang really give them a dream of happiness brought about Yao?
