First, the predecessor of Dashunzhi.
Hongji site
First of all, let's talk about the impression of Hongji in the minds of most Nanjing people, that is, it only exists in history books, because for a long time, it was a pile of ruins, but when it comes to its history, people have to open their mouths. As a native of Nanjing, I feel extremely proud and proud.
The best in town.
Hongji Temple is the oldest Buddhist temple in China. Its predecessor was Jianchu Temple ordered by Sun Quan, the emperor of Wudong University.
It is also the first Buddhist temple established in southern China, and was once the Buddhist center of China.
Emperor Judy of Chengzu
In fact, these are nothing. What really made Hongyi famous in the world was Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If you have read my previous articles, you will find that I have repeatedly said that Nanjing is called "the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties" and "the metropolis of the Ten Dynasties". These six dynasties, namely Wudong, Dongjin, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen, were all in Nanjing, and they were called "Six Dynasties". It is also known as the "Ten Dynasties" with the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Early Ming Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Republic of China, among which the most brilliant is the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, the capital of Nanjing was only 53 years in Ming Dynasty, and then Ming Di Zhu Di moved to Beijing.
Zheng He's voyage to the West was during the Ming Dynasty.
However, these did not affect the rich colors left by the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing, and Da Hongzhi was one of them.

So, how did the "Da Hun Ji" that we are familiar with today come into being?
It is said that the Ming Emperor Judy was not born in Ma Huanghou, but was the concubine of Chen Youliang. Judy has never been able to repay her mother's kindness, so when he became emperor, she built such a temple to repay her kindness.
How spectacular and brilliant was the great ambition at that time?
It is said that after the completion, the whole temple was built in full accordance with the standards of the palace, and it was splendid day and night.
However, it is a great pity that Dahongzhi was burned in the war in the late Qing Dynasty, and it was not until 20 12 that it was rebuilt on the original site.
The renovated interior of [Dashunzhi]
The rebuilt Dashun has attracted countless tourists from home and abroad for sightseeing with its "prosperity and luxury".
Perhaps the introduction of Dahongji can be Baidu at will, but how to visit the scenic spots? See what? You still need professional tourists to explain it to you. So, dear friends, don't leave us behind. Our ambitious journey is about to begin.
Second, how to visit the great Hongzhi indoors?
Entrance gate, security check
Tickets for Dahu Lake can be purchased online at different prices, so I won't elaborate on the preferential policies (Nanjing Annual Card is free).
The front glass area is the entrance.
Hoonji should be the most suitable scenic spot in summer, because the whole scenic spot is actually divided into two blocks, one is indoor and the other is outdoor.
Indoor display is mainly Buddhist culture and venue display; Outside is the Great Hoonji Pagoda.
Why is it best to go in summer? Because most of the places to go are indoor and air-conditioned.
Note: If you are interested in visiting Hoonji, you must collect my "Travel Tips" so that when you arrive at the scenic spot, you can come up with tips and follow them, and you won't get lost.
After entering the gate, there is a tablet pavilion on the left and right.
corridor
After entering the hall, go left. After that, it will be easy. There are signs indicating the direction of the visit. Hoonji's entire exhibition hall is rectangular, so the tour direction is around the rectangle. What an exquisite introduction. Can you understand? The last exit is on the right.

Hongji Great Glass Tower Arch
Let me introduce that Hongzhi is not famous for temples, but for glass pagodas.
Under Zhu Di, there were Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean, He _, and all the countries that came to Korea in the Ming Dynasty. The prosperity of the Ming dynasty was also written into the travel notes of western envoys and brought back to Europe. Andersen, a very famous Danish writer, must be familiar to everyone. Andersen's famous fairy tales are accompanied by many people's childhood, such as The Emperor's New Clothes and The Daughter of the Sea. It seems to be still in our ears. One of the articles, The Ugly Duckling, said: I just came from China.
This pagoda was the Dahongzhi Glass Pagoda outside Nanjing at that time!
The arch in front of us is a replica of the arch of Hoonji glass tower at that time. Have you ever seen Paradise Garden? Amanda, a famous movie star, brought the great Hutchison Glass Tower into the eyes of China people.

Public places of entertainment
The whole indoor tour is carefully carved, far beyond the camera's ability. The whole tour time is about one and a half to two hours.
There are Hanfu photography, Buddhist scripture writing, amusement, coffee shop and so on at the gate, but some of them are closed because of the epidemic.
3. How to visit the Great Hoonji Pagoda?
Great Hoonji Pagoda
At the end of the day, you will find a door next to you to go out. This is the Great Hoonji Pagoda, but unfortunately it is not the "glazed pagoda" of that year.
In those days, the whole glazed pagoda was made of glazed pottery. Besides, it is the best in China and the best in the world:
Hung Kai Glass Tower, the tallest building in China, was not destroyed by war until the late Qing Dynasty.
Huiji glass tower is called "the miracle in the history of world architecture".
Known as the "Seven Wonders of the Medieval World", Hornji Glass Tower
The great Hung Kai glass tower was even regarded by westerners at that time as a "landmark building representing China".
Known as "China Antique and Yongle Kiln", Honghu Glass Tower is known as "the first tower in the world" and so on.
All the above descriptions are amazing to us modern people, but the "world's first tower" has disappeared into the dust of history. Today's "glass tower" is not as luxurious as before, but it is full of modern "design sense". The bell in the corner swayed and tinkled in the wind. It seems that I have traveled through time and space and seen the once "Ming Dynasty".
How to visit the Dabaoen Temple Pagoda?
The first floor is the underground palace. After the visit, take the outside steps to the second floor. There is an elevator to the top floor, but if you want to visit one floor at a time, you must climb the stairs by yourself.
After the visit, you can take photos in the yard or go back to the door to move on.

Another feature of Hoonji is his night view, but it is not open to the public because of the epidemic.
