Twin Towers, Miaozhan Temple Review

20230204 In the evening: 1. "Miaozhan Temple" is located in the "Guandu Ancient Town" of the scenic spot of 4A. The famous historical and cultural ancient town in Kunming area of Guandu Ancient Town is unknown. The Tang and Song Dynasty period is already the first big market in the east bank of "Dianchi Lake". With the gradual reduction of the area of Dianchi Lake, The ferry has evolved into a town more and more far from the lake. The county was set up in the Yuan Dynasty, and it has become a commercial town in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, including "Five Mountains, Six Temples, Seven Pavilions, Eight Temples", hundreds of "One Printed" houses and "Gudu Eight Views" ("Gudu Fishing Light", "Luofeng Diecui", "Yuntai Moonlight", "Apricot Shepherd", "Lingyunyan around", "South Lawn", "King Kong Night Language", "pen writing Cangyu") and other humanistic landscapes. ① Address: Kunming Guandu District Yunxiu Road and Guangfu Road intersection. ② Transportation: No bus, driving is also very good. ③ peak season: no. 2. The north side of the stage is a dense area of humanistic landscape, there is "Miaozhan Temple" built in Yuanyuanzhen, from 1290 to 1295, after the flood collapse moved to build here, 2001 rebuilt, is the first of the six temples, because the temple site is accumulated by snail shell, also known as "Luofeng Temple". In addition, there is a "Miaozhan Temple Twin Towers", the west tower in Qingdao light 13 years, that is, 1833 destroyed in the earthquake only left the East Tower, 2001 rebuilt the West Tower, because the tower around the top of the tower stood a golden chicken, so commonly known as the "Golden Chicken Tower", the moonlight of the tower like a pen is looming, looking up like a god holding a pen in the night sky writing, Become one of the eight Guandu scenes "pen writing Cangyu". In ancient times, there were two clay statues of King Kong in front of the temple. One night, the monk saw two King Kongs in a private speech. One of the eight scenes of Guandu "King Kong Night Language" originated from this. The temple is not open at night.

The East and West Twin Towers were built in the Yuan Dynasty, and are 13-story dense solid brick towers. It is a pity that the West Tower was destroyed in the Qing Dynasty by an earthquake. The current West Tower was later rebuilt. The golden twin towers stand on the square and become landmarks.

The two towers of Miaozhan Temple are located in Miaozhan Temple Square, Guandu District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province. It was built in Taiding 4 years (1327-1335) in the Yuan Dynasty. The earthquake in the Qing Dynasty of the West Tower was destroyed and rebuilt in 2001. The twin towers are 13 layers of dense diamond solid brick towers, tower height 17.5 meters, square table base, edge length 5.5 meters, 1~12 floors four sides with Buddha, top with copper Dapeng golden wing birds, to town water. Every winter and autumn night, the jade rabbits rise, the reflection of the two towers is like a pen tip, the shadow moves like a master of God, writing a poem, praising the heavens and the earth, blessing the world, and casting the "pen write the sky".

At first glance, the two twin towers will feel that they were built later, but after careful inspection, one is built later and rebuilt, one retains the original view. But anyway, these two towers are the most central part of the entire Guandu Ancient Town, and even the entire Miaozhan Temple.

The Shuangta Temple is now hiding in the residential area, and I feel that it has been integrated with the residents' lives.
