It is said that at the beginning of the construction of the village, there was a drum tower with a single column. The present Drum Tower was built in 1921. It is the only Drum Tower in Liping County and is well preserved. The building has five floors and is about 12 meters high, with four eaves. In addition to the first floor for extension and decoration, the whole drum tower is only supported by a central pillar with a diameter of about 50 cm. The central column stands in the center of the drum tower and extends to the top. From the outside, the eaves are reduced layer by layer from the bottom to the top, which is the same as the multi column drum tower. From the inside, with the central column as the center, the fangpian of different sizes slants through the * set, crisscrossing in the central column, forming an umbrella shape. There is a fire pool in the middle of the foundation and four benches around it.
Liping, Guizhou Province, is the largest county inhabited by Dong people in China. Dong people account for more than 60% of the population in the county. The drum tower is the symbol of unity and auspiciousness, the symbol of prosperity and the embodiment of unity. Therefore, where there are Dong people, there are Dong villages and drum towers. They are built by Fang people or by several surnames. Liping has more than 30 drum towers, which is the largest area in China.
In this building, there is a fir wood building with a central column straight through the top. There are four eaves columns in the four corners of the building core column, with room column eaves between the eaves columns. Four levels are chiseled from 3.14 meters away from the base of the building core column, and cross beams are used to connect the horizontal core column, eaves column, child column and melon column to form the framework of the building. The top is covered with 40 cm and 54 cm diameter iron pots. On the top is a 2-meter-high wooden branch connecting the brake. The base of the brake is in the shape of an ancient bell. The concave carving and tung oil stone fastening are at the bottom of the iron pot.
The prototype of the drum tower was built on the body of a large fir tree. It is said that the local Dong people often go to the fir tree to cool off and talk about their family affairs. One day, the village gathered more than 100 people under the tree. Suddenly, it rained heavily. The villagers couldn't go home to take shelter from the rain for a while, so they had to stay under the tree to take shelter from the rainstorm. Unexpectedly, it took a long time for the rainstorm, so the villagers had to continue talking about their family affairs, Everyone was surprised to find that the bronze cloth clothes they were wearing didn't fade, and even the braids on their heads didn't get wet by the rain. So the villagers suddenly thought, why don't they take some branches out of this big fir tree and build a drum tower
The single column drum tower, built in 1636 of the Ming Dynasty, is a wooden structure with seven stories of eaves and four corners on the top of the head. It is the only existing drum tower prototype in the Dong nationality area. Its structure and form have a profound impact on the later drum tower buildings. In 2001, it set a new record of Guinness in the world. The whole drum tower is made of wood without any nails or hammers. Its exquisite workmanship and ingenious structure reflect the intelligence of the working people. The single column drum tower is not only a masterpiece in the history of Chinese ancient architecture, but also a treasure in the history of Dong architecture.
