The History and Culture of Tunpu

Princess Tun Town has a long history. Liaobin Tower and Princess Tunhoushan in the town are provincial-level cultural relics protection units in Liaoning, and the restored Liaobin Tower reappears for thousands of years. Ancient cultural relics and charming underground palaces have attracted countless tourists. Liaobinta Village is the historical seat of Liao Bin County in Liao Dynasty and Ming Dynasty. The ancient city of Liao Bin is faintly visible, and the waterfront pier is still in sight. Legend has it that it was Dong's ferry in the Tang Dynasty and was listed as a tourist attraction in Shenyang. Liaobin Iron Tower is located in Liaobin Village, 29 kilometers northeast of xinmin city, with the remains of a thousand-year-old city. Located at the intersection of Liaohe River and Xiushui River, this ancient city is a famous ferry and traffic artery in ancient times, and it is also a battleground for military strategists. As early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it had become a military center. Liao Dynasty was the most prosperous golden age in its history. Liao rulers promoted the prosperity of this place, set up Liao College here, and immigrated a lot from Jizhou. Later, the long-term war caused serious damage to this bustling ancient city.

During the maintenance of the ancient pagoda, the underground palace of the pagoda was opened, and a number of precious cultural relics including Buddha teeth and relics were excavated. Among them, the round-legged bucket-shaped rusty green glaze bowl is a product of the Tang Dynasty or the Five Dynasties, and it is a very rare treasure.

It is an octagonal 13-story brick tower with dense eaves. The original height is 4 1.7m, and the base diameter is12.5m. It was built according to the Buddhist belief that odd numbers mean innocence. The tower foundation is about 10 meter high, with a niche on each side of the tower and a brick Buddha sitting on the lotus seat. Put your hands together on your chest, look into the distance, look happy, and hang a bronze mirror on your head to show the bright Buddha's light and boundless magic. Next to each giant Buddha, there is a mighty body standing hand in hand, which looks pious and solemn. Two flying skies hovered over the Buddha's head and danced. Under the octagonal prism, there is an Omega Supreme kneeling, with eighteen arhats on both sides, each armed. There is a copper "alarm bell" hanging on the eaves. Whenever the breeze blows, the bells jingle, crisp and sweet, and can be heard for miles away. Tower brake towering at the top, hanging "flying copper" mirror, shining in the sun. ...

A poem once circulated in Liaobinta Village: "Liao Binxi Yang reflects the summer sky, and the neon end is seen in the low cloud sky. Ru Yan hovers around the tower, and the bronze bell flies away from the corner eaves." From this, people can imagine the youthful elegance of Liao Bin's iron tower. However, after thousands of years of vicissitudes of life, suffering from the erosion of ups and downs and the destruction of previous wars, Liaobin Iron Tower has become aging-the whole body is riddled with holes and refutes, the tower body has fallen down a lot, and the tower gate has long since disappeared; The tower eaves and wind chimes of 13 floor have all fallen off, and they look convex and concave. Most of the Buddha statues in the niches have turned into immortal soil, and the survivors can still vaguely distinguish their kind faces. Liao Bin Iron Tower is like an abrupt and tattered brick pile, which makes people feel quite sad ... 1948 (thirty-seven years of the Republic of China) 65438+ 10.
