Jinsheng Tower is a typical brick-wood structure building in the south of the Yangtze River, with a height of 50.86 meters. The tower has seven floors and eight sides (seven bright and eight dark), with eight shapes inside and outside. Its vermilion columns are blue tiles, the ink angle is clean, the golden gourd-shaped roof is rich in religious color, the cornices are elegant, and copper bells are hung (according to the ancient chime making process, the wind chimes are recast with seven layers and seven tones). The bronze top of the gourd in Jinshengta Tower is glittering with golden light, with red columns and blue tiles all over, and clean walls and ink corners, which are unpretentious. There are four true openings and four false openings on each floor of the tower. The true openings and false openings on each floor are staggered up and down, and the forms of openings on each floor are different. The first floor is the moon gate; The second and third floors are Ruyimen; The fourth to seventh floors are flame doors with one tower and three arches, which is really rare. Simple and beautiful, with a typical architectural style of Jiangnan. Since the completion of the Tang Dynasty, Jinsheng Tower has a history of 1 100 years. It is the carrier of historical information and the crystallization of the wisdom of working people from generation to generation.
The pagoda is 3m high, with a maximum diameter of1.75m. The inside of the pagoda is made of camphor wood, and the outside is nailed with 2-3mm thick gold-plated copper skin. 1988, when Tasha was dismantled and repaired, it was found that Tasha was manufactured in the sixth year of Tongzhi, and the reconstruction of Tasha began in July of the seventh year of Tongzhi and was completed in the winter of the eighth year of Tongzhi (see Liu Kun's Rebuilding the Golden Pagoda). It can be seen that the pagoda was carefully thought out and carefully designed before construction. The size of each part of the pagoda is symmetrical and the lines are soft and smooth. In many pagodas in the south of the Yangtze River, this pattern is rare. The tower is based on Sumitomo (the foundation is only 60 cm deep). After nearly 300 years, there is no serious settlement and inclination, which is quite different from the foundation treatment of our modern buildings. The spiral staircase in Jinsheng Pagoda goes straight to its top floor, looking directly at the lakes and mountains, overlooking the city's ten thousand people (Ming and poetry), which is the only remaining high-rise ancient building in our city. In the Golden Pagoda, there are layers of "cornices become warped, two copper bells are hung high", and "The shadows of two trees return to Ye Ping at dusk, and a hundred bells wear the cold river" (Ming and Wu recite the tower poems). The wind chimes of Jinshengta have one scale on each floor, seven tones on seven floors, and the breeze blows, which is pleasant to hear.
The underground palace is a building facility under the tower foundation. 1988 During the maintenance of Jinsheng Pagoda, a number of precious cultural relics were found in other palaces and pagodas (Qianfo Temple in Cash Pagoda). Zhang Yu folk song "The vine breaks the gourd scissors, the tower breaks the jade chapter", which shows that it is the Feng Shui pagoda in Nanchang people's mind.
The planning and transformation of Jinshengta has been carried out for about 40 mu, forming a park pattern of Jinshengta, with the planning of tower cultural relics as the main axis and four major regions. It has a strong historical and cultural background. From the perspective of market economy, it has great tourism value and is a rare tourism resource. Specifically, it forms a pattern with history and culture as the main line and four major regions. Taking history and culture as the main axis, including the existing ancient pagodas and the rebuilt Taqian Temple, Jianchi and Nanmen Shipai Building, a large number of touching legends have been sorted out. Four areas: The first area is Yilin Garden, where precious flowers and trees are planted in an area of nearly four acres, including Cinnamomum camphora, Cycas, Robinia pseudoacacia, Yuting and other trees with various contents and varieties, which have ornamental and leisure functions. The second largest area is the folk village. On 7.8 mu of land, a folk house preserved in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China will be rebuilt, and a folk village with unique folk customs will be established according to tradition. Labor production tools with local traditional customs, plows, harrows, rollers, waterwheels and many other labor production tools and daily necessities are on display, so that tourists can enjoy a refreshing feeling. In the third area, there is a Confucius Temple built on 4.8 mu of land, which means that it is a gathering place for literati in past dynasties and a display place dedicated to Confucius and his seventy-two sages and 12 real people. When this building is completed, it can satisfy the good wishes of good men and women and contemporary literati. The fourth district will build a Longxing Courtyard (stage and teahouse) on 8.4 mu of land in the park, and perform Nanchang local operas every day. Taqian Temple often has several local operas performed by the provincial Peking Opera Troupe, the municipal tea-picking troupe and the municipal song and dance troupe, which attracted many audiences and had obvious influence.
The use functions of Jinsheng Pagoda in the scenic area include: allowing tourists to climb the Millennium Pagoda, watch the landscape of Hongcheng, climb the top floor of the Pagoda, overlook Xishan, Meiling and Fuhe Ancient Road, and watch the night view of Hongcheng and the shining silver light. The main hall of the Thousand-Buddha Temple is dedicated to 999 statues of siddhattha gotama for tourists to see, and it can also satisfy the worship wishes of good men and women. There is a 7.9-ton auspicious bell hanging in the center of the main hall, which means striking the century clock and making a good wish. There are cultural relics exhibition halls on both sides of the main hall of Qianfo Temple. In the first exhibition hall, there are cultural relics exhibitions of the underground palace of the Golden Holy Tower and ancient temples. The second exhibition hall shows the cultural relics unearthed in the surrounding areas of Nanchang and large construction sites in the city. An exhibition department is added in front of the right side of the Thousand Buddha Temple for tourists to buy and watch. Enrich the contents of Taqian Temple to meet the needs of tourists.
With the gradual expansion of the park around the Jinsheng Tower, the green area in the park is getting bigger and bigger, and the contents of the visit are getting richer and richer. The overall layout is as follows: one tower and one temple (Golden Pagoda and Thousand Buddha Temple), one garden and one temple (Yilin Garden and Confucian Temple), one stage and one village (stage and folk village).
Open a 0/5m-wide and 250m-long passage from Qianjin Road to Jiang Yan Road, build antique snack streets on both sides of the road, and open up sightseeing parking lots. After a period of development and construction, Jinshengta Park and its surrounding environment have become a scenic spot for people to see, eat, play and have fun.
