Episode 38 of "Wudang Eight Hundred Li" : Zijin City
2026-05-25 10:37:50
The golden gate and jade wall shine brightly on the eight surfaces. The rosy clouds and rosy clouds shine upon the nine provinces. It takes four years to cast a copper mold. The Golden Hall on Tianzhu Peak of Wudang Mountain is the supreme masterpiece in Zhu Di's "Tale of Two Cities: Building the Imperial Palace in the North and Wudang in the South". The Forbidden City in Beijing was the center of secular imperial power, and the "image of Heaven Establishing the Palace" was used to demonstrate the majesty of the emperor. The Zijin City on Wudang Mountain is a sacred place of divine power, which uses the might of the Great Emperor Zhenwu to demonstrate the reality of "divine authorization of the monarchy". The former governs the human realm, while the latter guards the mountains and rivers. Together with the "Purple Micro Central Axis" and the "Xuanwu Holy Realm", they create a totem of the unity of heaven and man for the country and the family.
On the Tianzhu Peak, which stands at an altitude of 1,612 meters the architectural wonders of the Yuan and Ming dynasties stand tall. The Yuan Dynasty's copper hall, with 85 mortise and tenon joints, supports an 8.2-ton copper-cast hall setting a precedent for copper architecture in the world. The Yongle Golden Hall of the Ming Dynasty stands on the Xuzhou flower stone with a body weighing over a hundred tons of gilded, interpreting the royal will of "building the imperial palace in the north and constructing Wudang in the south".
Six hundred years ago, the canal treasure boat carried precise components upstream for three thousand miles. The thousand-jin copper structure wound its way along the ancient path to the top and was finally assembled in the Taihe Palace: the statue of the Xuan Emperor faced east to welcome good fortune, a copper beast held the ridge, and eight hundred and twenty golden eaves and eaves were joined together with mortise and tenon joints and decorated with welding techniques. The ever-burning lamp remained lit for six hundred years, solidizing the celestial secret of Emperor Yongle's "casting the tripod image".
When the morning light pierces through the thin eastern curtain, the statue of Zhenwu looks down upon the world from the perspective of the first person. This gilded building, which integrates the architectural wisdom of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, considerations of Daoism and the majesty of the empire, ultimately, with the air of "the four famous mountains all bowing and bowing", refines the contemplation of the Tao Te Ching and the will of the empire into a visible totem - where the golden platform illuminates, the house is cast with gold and the jacaranda is made of jade. This is both the pinnacle of craftsmanship and a poetic measurement of the Chinese civilization and the order of heaven and earth by an ancient empire.
