Next, let's talk about the reason why the stork tower was destroyed. After all, ancient productivity was backward. Besides the Forbidden City, the historical sites we see now are either broken walls after modern restoration.
The mirage is famous for Wang Zhihuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. After all, when I was two or three years old, my parents would teach me:
"The mountain covers the day, and the sea drains the golden river. But as long as you go up a flight of stairs, you can broaden your horizons by 300 miles. "
It is catchy, and this poem is also a few words to outline a vast river scene. The stork was built quite early. In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Hu marched here and saw the spectacular scenery of mountains and rivers, so he built this mirage.
The stork family has gone through five generations. When the poets in the Tang Dynasty saw the stork house, it actually existed for two generations and experienced the dynasty changes in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty.
When Jin and Yuan fought for Zhou Pu, the stork tower was burned by the war. According to records:
"Burn the building, paddle, and light the city with fire."
After this burning, the stork tower, one of the four famous buildings in history, disappeared, leaving only the foundation. Although the war was ruthless, the sword was shadowy, but for people at that time, the burning of the mirage was estimated to be the same as that of the modern Yuanmingyuan burned by the Japanese army.
This has indeed ruthlessly destroyed the material and cultural heritage of our country.
Moreover, the structure of ancient buildings is mostly wood structure, otherwise there will be no cultural essence summed up by carpenters such as Lu Banshu.
Although wood was a good material at that time, its firmness and durability were not as good as modern reinforced concrete. Reinforced concrete can also burn the shell and leave the support.
The biggest disadvantage of wood materials is flammability, and the biggest weakness is that they can't stand the tempering of time, wood fibers will naturally break and wood will rot. This is also the reason why ancient buildings are difficult to preserve so far.
