Looking at the ancient Zhangbi castle in Shanxi Province with the cultural relics on the ground
Zhangbi Ancient Castle was located at the northern foot of Mount Mian in Longfeng Town, southeast of Jiexiu City, Shanxi Province. It was an ancient pocket-sized castle that combined military, production, religion, and residential functions. It might have been formed during the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Northern Dynasty. After three stages of dock walls, military towns, and fortified villages, it gradually built a five-level military defense system with "above-ground Ming Fortress and underground secret passages" as the main. It was called "above-ground and underground twin cities, castle courtyard temple wall museum village" and was an important fortress of the ancient military fortress, Que Shu Valley. The castle was 374 meters long from east to west and 244 meters wide from north to south. It occupied an area of 120,000 square meters. There were castle walls made of rammed earth in the east, south and north. It was surrounded by ravines in the east, west and south, and surrounded by mountains in the south. The castle was rich in culture, and there were many things to see on the ground and underground. On the ground, the layout of the buildings was based on the traditional China ancient astrology and geomancy concepts. The old streets, Wenchang Pavilion, and various temples were orderly. For example, in the fifth year of Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, the old street was paved with red stone by the villagers. Today, these red stone strips have become more ancient due to the erosion of time. There were also three ancient stages. The Guandi Temple stage and the mountain gate combined. The words " built in the 10th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty " could be seen on the Erlang Temple stage. The Kehan Temple stage had the Liao Dynasty's " moving columns and reducing columns " construction method. The National Grand Theater's Ancient China Stage Museum also had a miniature version of it. In the underground part, the tunnel was 20 meters deeper than the surface. It was divided into upper, middle, and lower layers, with a total length of more than 10,000 meters. The structure was complex and extended in all directions. There were stables, cat ear holes, command posts, granaries, wells, and other facilities. It was a combination of attack, defense, and hiding. There were many traps and many unsolved mysteries. There were also many cultural relics and historical sites here, such as the Khan Temple, the Empty King Temple, and the Glazed Stele. The roof of the temple was mostly decorated with glazed tiles. On both sides of the front porch were glazed tiles made during the Wanli period. The tiles were 250 centimeters high and 68 centimeters wide. The dragon heads on the top of the tiles were yellow and blue dragons playing with pearls. The tiles were peacock blue in color. The words on the tiles were written in black glaze. This kind of glazed tile was very rare in China. In terms of honors, it was selected as one of the top ten charming towns in China in 2005, listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit in 2006, named as a "famous tourist landscape village with Chinese characteristics" in 2010, selected as a traditional ancient village in 2014, and rated as a national AAA-level tourist attraction in 2015.

Folk scholars call for a cultural relics survey
The cultural relics survey was generally organized by the local cultural relics administrative department to conduct a more comprehensive investigation of local cultural relics resources. Although there was currently no data to show that folk scholars were calling for a cultural relics survey, if folk scholars called for a cultural relics survey, it might be due to various considerations such as the importance of cultural relics protection. The cultural relics survey was of great significance. For example, it could provide a comprehensive understanding of the local cultural relics resources and provide a basis for the protection of cultural relics. For example, in the fourth national cultural relics survey in Ruichang City, the accuracy of the survey results could be improved through modern scientific and technological means, and various information of cultural relics could be measured and recorded comprehensively and accurately in the field survey, and many new cultural relics were discovered. After the fourth national cultural relics survey in Xin County, many immovable cultural relics clues were also discovered. Folk scholars may hope to find more cultural relics that may be neglected through the cultural relics survey, so as to better inherit and protect historical and cultural heritage. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
