Beijing Ancient Architecture Museum Xiannongtan Temple

🌟 Exploring the secrets of the Xiannongtan caisson: Looking up at the starry sky and dragon shadows six hundred years ago Worship Hall·Panlong Caisson When you step into the worship hall, you will be shocked by the golden nanmu Panlong Caisson - a relic from the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty. The whole wood carved dragon swoops down, with dragon scales and claws, surrounded by stacked brackets and phoenix decorations. The sun shines through the window lattice and jumps on the remaining gold paint, as if the dragon's body will break through the sky and soar into the clouds at any time. The guide touches the laser pen lightly, and the light and shadow sweep across the dragon's beard: "Ming Dynasty craftsmen used the 'reducing the ground level' technique to make the flat wood carving present a three-dimensional leaping feeling." The hall is silent, and only the sound of my breathing resonates with the sound of wood chiseling six hundred years ago. Tai Sui Hall·Tiangong Caisson Moving to the Tai Sui Hall, the treasure of the town, the Tiangong Caisson, hangs on the dome, like an inverted fairyland. The six-story wooden building spirals upwards, with 68 celestial palaces spliced ​​in the air with mortise and tenon joints, and the flying eaves and hip roofs and carved corridors are clearly visible. On the top floor, 1,400 gold foil stars are embellished in the deep blue "night sky", and the star map is highly consistent with modern astronomical observations! The four wooden kings in the four corners hold up the caisson with one hand, and the knuckles of the Eastern Heavenly King holding the pipa are clearly visible. When the ground spotlight is turned on, the starlight falls like rain, and the Milky Way of the Tang Dynasty pours down in an instant. Corner · Forgotten Fragments On the east wall of Tai Sui Hall, the incomplete caisson skeleton is silently displayed - only the bracket layer and the painted fragments remain, like a dancer whose gorgeous clothes have been torn off by time. The fourth caisson on the top of the porch of the west side hall is more hidden: there is no well core, only octagonal wooden beams and faded green paintings. However, because the structure is exposed, it clearly shows the wisdom of the ancients' "catenary mechanics": 0.3 mm expansion joints are left in the mortise and tenon joints, allowing the wooden components to breathe freely with the humidity of the four seasons. Epilogue: The aftertaste of the interweaving of stars and dragons Before leaving the museum, I opened the stamp book in the cultural and creative store in the Shencang courtyard, and the seals of the dragon and the star map covered the pages. Looking back at the caisson, I suddenly understood what "architecture is a solidified universe": the dragon stirring the sea of ​​clouds is the desire of agricultural civilization for good weather and good harvests; the star map has been circulating for thousands of years, which is the romance of the ancients locking the vast galaxy into the wood grain. When leaving, the gatekeeper pointed to the Guangengtai with a smile: "The emperor's one acre and three points of land are there, but the caisson is the soul of the Xiannongtan!"

This place is across the street from the Temple of Heaven, but the two are much less well-known. Perhaps Beijingers are quite familiar with Xiannongtan, but people from other places probably know very little about it. Now Xiannongtan has been opened as an ancient architecture museum, where you can not only appreciate the essence of ancient Chinese architecture, but also learn about the scenes of ancient emperors offering sacrifices to Xiannong. It is very informative and I highly recommend everyone to come here to learn and visit...
