Today we are going to visit the three pagodas temple of Dali. Welcome, everyone!Before we got the three pagodas temple, I would like to give you a brief introduction of Dali. Why is it called “Dali”? As we all know Dali has a long history. After the Kingdom of NanZhao, Duansiping Established the Kingdom of Dali. “li” this Chinese word refers to “manners”, indicated the hope of the king that make his country a prosperous and civilized place.In the middle period of the Nanzhao reign, Buddhism was all the rage and in the late period of this Kingdom, when it reached its hayday, Buddhist temples were built all over Yunnan.In Chinese“chong shen”means admiring the Buddha, and this Buddha refers to the GY,Lets go inside and see. The first view in the temple is 3PsThe 3 Pagodas is locatedatthefootofYinglePeakofCangshanMountain, As its name implies, it comprise three independent pagodas ,standing harmoniously in a triangle.The Three Pagodas are made of brick and covered with white mud. The elegant, balanced and stately style is unique in Chinas ancient Buddhist architectures, which makes it a must-see in the tour of Dali. Straight and towering, the main pogoda is Qianxun Pagoda, named after its height, a height of 69.13 meters. hightest pogoda in yunnan. it was built in the Tang Dynasty ,The pagoda has 16 storeis, the even number story pagoda is rarely seen in other pagodas. on the summit,each corner hangs a golden wing bird cast by copper. each story has multiple tiers of upturned dense eaves, and each story has four shrines , buddha status on the east and west shrines,the other two shrines are the windows for the pagoda. Look closer,u will find thatthe eaves of the pagoda become narrower toward the top, forming an excellent example of multi-eave pagodas in the Tang Dynasty. whole pagoda is in the shape of an elegant curve and this can make a better distant view possible,a traditonal technique in chinese architecture. The designers of the pagoda are supposed to come from Xian, the capital of Tang Dynasty, Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, which shares the similar style but is two hundred years older.Atthebasementofthepagodaare engravedfourChinese Characters,which means ensuring Tranquility to Mountains and Rivers Forever.”it is the handwriting of grandson of Muying,the king of qian state of the Ming Dynasty.There are two interpretations about the characters,some say it means that holy structures would invoked the Buddhas protection against the frequent natural disasters like floods and earthquake. Others believe that it express the Ming courts determination of controlling Dali because the pagodas stand firm. The pagoda is hollow inside, with stairs leading to the top, from there you can have a wonderful birds veiw of the C mountain and Erhai lake. The other two smaller pagodas were built in Five Dynasties, a dynasty followed the tang dynasty, slightlylaterthanthemainone.they are 10 storied ,octagonal brick tower with dense eaves. The body of it are decorated with relief of Buddha images,lotus and vases.inside pagoda is hollow from the first to the eighth story. On top of the pagoda are placed three bronze gourds, representative of the ethnic styleThe Three Pagodas are also well known for their resilience; they have endured several man-made and natural damage over more than one thousand years. The most recent record of earthquake in the Dali area occurred in 1925. Only one in one hundred buildings in Dali survived, but the Three Pagodas were undamaged.still elegantly stand there, They are the symbols of outstanding architectural technology, the wisdom of the ancient labouring people and the brilliant culture of Dali.Duringtherenovation ti the pogodas in1978,some culturalrelicswereunearthed at this site,includingBuddhistscriptures,books,bronzearticles,bronzemirrors,bronze,porcelain,jade, totaling more than 600 pieces.Especilly the golden statue of Achuoyie Godess of mercy, is quite rare Uptonow,theyconstitutethelargeststoreofrelicsofNanshaoandDaliKingdomseverfound,providingsureproofsoftheinfluenceoftheHancultureuponminoritynationalitiesintheborderareas.Also the precious resources for studying the history, religion and culture of the Nanzhao Kingdom and the Dali Kingdom It is safe to say that the three pagodas are the most spectacular pogoda complex in china, visible from miles away, The Three Pagodas has been a landmark of Dali and a faithful witness of glorious history of Dali and the perfect evidence of its splendid culture. Moving forward, ia the bell tower we can see the huge bell ,jianji bell, the original one was cast in the 12th year of Jianji period in Nanzhao dynasty. Hence the name. it is said that when the bell rings, it can be heard amazingly from 40 kilometers away.so It was one of Chongcheng Temples five treasures, as precious as the three pagodas. But its a pity that it is destroyed in wars of Qing Dynasty,the bel before us was recast and strok on July 1st 1997 when HK was reunified. The hall behind the belll tower is the hall of the Bronze Rain Statue Goddess of Mercy.here we can see the Godess of mercy is on a lotus seat on a 2 meters marble base. (The lotus is one of Buddhisms most significant symbols. They represent us absolute beauty, knowledge and mental purity.) This statue is different from other statues of GOM in other places around China. Whats the difference? Please look closer. It has womans face and mans body, which mirrors the trasition of the image of GOM in Dali during the Nanzhao Kingdom period.Inside the hall, on the second floor, there are two scroll paintings,namely the “Picture Record of nanzhao kingdom” and “Buddhist picture scoll painting by zhang shengwen” “Picture record of nanzhao kingdom” was a gift to the last king of nanzhao kingdom,its valuable for the study of history, religion and folklores of the nanzhao kingdom.but the painting before us is not the original one but just an enlarged imitation. The original one is kept in the museum in japan at present. “Buddhist picture scoll painting by zhang shengwen” as the name implies, the painter is Zhshwen, an artist of dali kingdom.on the painting there are 134 single and group figures.which narrate buddhist stories and touch upon foreign affairs of dali kingdom,providing precious material for the study of Tantrism in dali kingdom.just like that one, the original version is kept in taipei museum now.
