Main attractions

Recommendation 1: The Legend of Jinwucangjiao

Jinlou is famous for its gilding, but it is famous for its Tibetan charm. It is said that Dai Peiqiong, the daughter of Cixi and the daughter of Dai Hongci, the Minister of justice, married Su Boyu, the great great grandson of Su piwen, a former member of the Ministry of war. Su Boyu, the youngest of the Su family, placed Dai Peiqiong in the golden mansion to accompany her reading. There was a beauty in the red sleeves every night, so it was said that there was a beautiful story in the golden house.

Recommendation 2: three wells

Because it is used as a Book Building and of wooden structure, there are three wells in a small Bijiang gold building: the well in the courtyard, the well in the main hall and the caisson at the top.

According to the five elements, wood is blocked by fire, and fire is blocked by water. The wells in the courtyard and the main hall are mainly used for fire prevention and cooling. The caisson on the top is very small in diameter, with five bats carved on it, implying that "five blessings are coming".

Recommendation 3: uncanny wood carving

The two floor of Jin Lou is the essence of the entire golden building. The furniture, wooden doors and windows and wooden screens are mostly made of fine and smooth wood. After scraping and grinding, the surface of sour wood is as bright as a mirror. The texture is fine, smooth and cool when you touch it. You can feel a deep and implicit aesthetic feeling from both vision and touch. If you stick a layer of gold foil on it, once you enter this room, you will feel magnificent but elegant.

Art beats nature. Extraordinary as if done by the spirits of ground of heart, animal and universe of 1000000000 universes, flowers and birds, fish and worms should be made full of, and animals are vivid and lifelike. No wonder the tour guide of the same trade introduced to us that the wood carving alone is already valuable!

Recommendation 4: exquisite furnishings

There are many exquisite furnishings in the golden building, such as the Ba bed, which is much wider than the ordinary bed, and there are two screens, the middle of which is for the maid to stand and serve; for example, the octagonal window is rolled to both sides, which means eight sided prestige; for example, the ancient thermal insulation equipment filled with cotton wadding between the two layers of packaging to prevent heat emission.

Recommendation 5: literati ink treasure

In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Bijiang was a Confucian village with a strong reading atmosphere. Longan and Osmanthus fragrans were planted in the patio of many families to take the auspicious omen of Panlong borrowing GUI (GUI). At that time, there was a tradition in the countryside that "there was no scholar in the family, where did the fame come from". Therefore, the famous literati were highly respected. The Su family built such a luxurious library, which also reflected the status of scholars in Bijiang from one side.

It is precisely because of this style of study that many scholars have left their footprints in Bijiang. In Jinlou, you can find many familiar names, such as Prime Minister Liu Yong, who said, "everything is beautiful in calligraphy and calligraphy, and talents are sent to the best places in the lake and mountain.". A few times, the flowers in the temple of Zen are competing for each other. For example, Zhang Yuesong, a famous scholar in Lingnan at that time, said, "there is a high platform to the east of the Hanjiang River, and the smoke trees are green and clear. The old ma Tongti visited the North Tower, and the young people sang together to meet the eagles.

Recommendation 6: Bijiang version of "Qingming Riverside"

During the reign of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, Su He, a son of the Su family, was named Er Wupo Taoist. He made 24 chants to summarize the local cultural and natural landscape of Bijiang. Based on the chants, he carved copper walls to reproduce the prosperous Bijiang in history.

This picturesque picture of Qingming River is 23.8 meters long and 1.5 meters high. It is a rare treasure with vivid scenery.

Recommendation 7: century old trees

Although the newly restored back garden of Jinlou is only two fifths the size of the original garden, the flowers, plants and trees scattered in the garden are very particular. From Buddha belly bamboo to golden green, from Longan in 100 years to crape myrtle and Qingsi in 200 years, they all witness the traces of the wheel of time.
