2008 Yunnan Tourism (Travel Notes, XVI)
Yunnan Dali trip: Tianlong Babu Film and Television City - Song Dynasty characteristics, Dali characteristics, ethnic customs
The third scenic spot I went to this morning was Dali Tianlong Babu Film and Television City. The film and television city may be the largest film and television city in the west of my country. It was specially invested and built by the crew of "Tianlong Babu" for the 40-episode TV series "Tianlong Babu" with Dali Provincial Tourist Resort.
The film and television city is located in the Shanlu area of Dali Provincial Tourist Resort, with Cangshan Mountain in the west and Sanyue Street in the north. .
The entire Tianlong Babu Film and Television City is composed of four major areas: one is Dali Kingdom, the other is Liao Kingdom, the third is Xixia Kingdom, and the fourth is Jurchen tribe. Its project covers an area of more than 700 mu, the first phase of the project covers an area of 300 mu, with a total construction area of nearly 25,000 square meters and a total investment of about 100 million yuan. In general, the design and planning are carried out in accordance with the principle of "Dali characteristics, Song Dynasty characteristics, referring to "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", and combining film and television shooting with tourism".
In terms of architectural structure, the film and television city takes brick and wood structure effect as the main body, and blue bricks and blue tiles as the main building materials; the modeling style is "beautiful, elegant, and peculiar"; the plane composition highlights the layout principle of "staggered, changing, unified, and grand", According to the natural terrain, it adopts stepped height difference treatment; the color is colored on the premise of "history, nature and life", showing a strong sense of historical vicissitudes. The first phase of the completed project covers an area of 500 mu. The main buildings include city walls, city gates, imperial palaces, Dali Street, Liao Street, Jurchen Tribes, Xixia City, etc., which have a sense of history and life. The second phase of construction covers an area of 200 mu. According to the story content of "Tianlong Babu", the "Bai Farm" mainly shows the production and lifestyle of the Bai people in ancient Dali, and Juxian Village and Xinyang City described in "Tianlong Babu" , Xixia Grottoes, Tea Garden and other supporting construction projects, the total construction area will reach 40,000 square meters.
"Dragon and Babu" is one of Jin Yong's masterpieces, and it can also be called Taishan Beidou's work in martial arts films. The most wonderful thing is that Dali is written in it. From the 1980s to the 21st century, "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" has been republished in different editions, each time with a different flavor of the times and different cultures of the times, and has become popular all over the country. No matter which edition, Qiao Feng's heroic spirit is vividly remembered. , very popular. It is memorable for a long time. The beautiful name of Dali has left magical and beautiful memories for the audience in the film. The mountains and rivers of Dali make people yearn for it, and it can be called a paradise on earth; especially in 2003, directed by Zhang Jizhong, Hu Jun, Lin Zhiying, Liu Yifei, Tang Zhenzong, Zhong Liti, Chen Hao, etc. co-starred in "Dragon Ba Bu", which is even more wonderful, and one of the scenes of Dalang was filmed in Dali, making his work even more authentic.
The magnificent buildings in the film and television city are lifelike and have a large buried country. The Duan's Palace seems to be Dali in ancient times. The kind and hardworking people on the streets are telling about this ancient place; Wealthy and strong; King Jia of the palace had fun with the people, intoxicated by Jinhua’s Bai dances and Bai songs, singing as if he sang today, as if the film is telling the story of today’s Dali—the booming economy and the booming tourism industry ... "Three Pagoda Temple" also appeared in the TV clip, standing majestically. The "Tianlong Temple" in the film and today's Three Pagoda Temple are like Ruosi Temple, making people forget that it is still in ancient times The three pagodas town Ning mountains and rivers, get rid of pots and receive blessings, and recruit treasures from time to time, indicating that Dali will have a better future; the seven dragon waterfalls on the screen are flying down, and the mountains and rivers are reflected. Among them, as if being on the scene, a kind of clear and leisurely feeling immediately surrounded the whole body, and I was quickly intoxicated in it. The picture of myself playing in the Seven Dragon Girl Pool came back to my mind. It seemed that I met the innocent and innocent Zhong Ling, and I also saw Duan Bi, who was performing magical skills Lingboweibu; The history of the mountains. It symbolizes that Dali will join the tide of the socialist market economy in all directions, and that Dali will have unlimited business opportunities and become more developed in the future.
Dali is famous for its four seasons like spring, wind, flowers, snow and moon, which makes the "Dragon Babu" filmed in Dali more real. Wonderful, the audience is enjoying the film. Also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dali. After watching the film, it seems that the second half of Dali has been visited. The scenery of Dali, the culture of Dali, and the mountains and rivers of Dali have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience and are familiar to more people across the country. The so-called "seeing is better than hearing a hundred times", no matter how many hearsay. It is better for you to try it yourself, the world is full of strange things. Dali is definitely the most beautiful place in the world, come to Dali. Absolutely have no regrets in this life, look for the trace of Dali in Tianlong Babu, and feel the happiness of paradise on earth!
What is "Tianlong Babu"? Jin Yong explained in the "Explanation of Names" before the novel began: "Dragon Babu, this term comes from Buddhist scriptures. In many Mahayana Buddhist narratives, when the Buddha preached to Bodhisattvas and monks, Tianlong Babu often participated in listening to the Dharma. "
Tianlong Babu is the guardian deity of the eight types of Buddhism, including the gods, dragons, yakshas, gandharvas, asuras, garudas, kinnaras, and mahurakas. Headed by "Tianzhong" and "Dragonzhong", it is called "Tianlong Babu". This can be said to be an important content in the "Volume of Brahma Statues of the Kingdom of Dali", so Jin Yong did some research on the history of Dali's worship of Buddhism before writing the novel.
Celestials: Deva in Sanskrit, refers to the gods, such as Brahma, Indra, the Four Heavenly Kings, Wei Tuotian, and Hades among the "Twenty Heavens" who protect the law. Indra is the leader of the gods.
Dragon Congregation: Naga in Sanskrit, Buddhist scriptures say that there are countless dragon kings who are in charge of Xingyun and rain. Among the dragon kings, the most famous dragon king is Shaguo Luolong, because its daughter is the dragon girl who later became a Buddha.
Yaksa: A transliteration of the Sanskrit Yaksa, Buddhists call it a ghost that is fast, brave, and will hurt people. Sutra of Miscellaneous Treasures: The Dragon King couple and all their relatives live with respect and faith, and obey the five precepts, and the yakshas also accept the five precepts. Also used as medicine fork.
Gandharva: Gandharva in Sanskrit means the god of fragrance and the god of music. It is one of the gods of music who serve Di Shitian. There are more than 6,000 of them, and they emit a strong fragrance.
Ashura: Ashura in Sanskrit means unprovoked and ugly. Asura men are extremely ugly and women are stunningly beautiful. King Ashura often fights with Indra, because Asura has beauties but no delicious food, and Indra has delicious food but no beautiful women. They are jealous and plunder each other. Every time there is a fierce battle, the world is always turned upside down. Therefore, people often compare the large battlefield full of corpses to the "Sura Field".
Garuda: Garuda in Sanskrit, is the god of the golden bird, with two wings spread 3.36 million miles away. Taking dragons as food can get rid of poisonous dragons. Every day, one dragon king and five hundred little dragons will be eaten. At the end of their lives, all the dragons vomit poison and cannot eat any more. Because he used dragons (big poisonous snakes) as food all his life, he had a lot of poisonous gas in his body, and when he was dying, he burned himself with poison. After the body is burnt away, only one heart remains, which is the color of pure blue glaze. Jialouluo is the Dapeng Garuda, a divine bird worshiped by the Bai people.
Kinnara: Kinnara in Sanskrit, is one of the music gods of Indra. Gandharva specializes in vulgar music, while Kinnara specializes in Dharma music.
Mahiraga: Mahiraga in Sanskrit, is the god of the python, with a human body and a snake head.
The eight parts of Tianlong are all "non-human" eight kinds of gods and spirits. Mr. Jin Yong named them because he said that Dali is a Buddhist country, and the emperors all believe in Buddhism. A very peculiar phenomenon in history, the novel "Dragon and Babu" uses these supernatural characters to symbolize some real people. At the same time, it also shows that what the author wants to write is not a realistic historical novel. First, he wants to make inhuman divine thinking about the world and humanity, and second, he wants to make a symbolic or allegorical expression of this thinking.
When we came to Dali Tianlong Babu Film and Television City, through a ticket, we seemed to have walked into a time tunnel and came to the Dali Kingdom in the Northern Song Dynasty thousands of years ago.
At the gate of the film and television city, you can see the name of the city written by Mr. Jin Yong at a glance. This is the city gate of Dali Kingdom. .
Each word in this couplet represents one of Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and the fourteen characters are exactly his fourteen masterpieces. The appearance of this couplet here may express his admiration for Mr. Jin Yong.

The extraordinary imposing city tower of Dali Kingdom in the Song Dynasty is made of one-color blue bricks. It is refreshing and quiet. It is 20 meters high, 120 meters long, and more than 20 meters wide. Flags are fluttering on the square battlements, one can imagine the majesty of Dali in those days.
Walking on the Dali Street, the most prosperous Dali State in the Northern Song Dynasty, many of the scenery on the street were designed to reflect the economic and cultural streets of Dali State in the Song Dynasty. It gives people a feeling of returning to the Dali Kingdom in the Song Dynasty, which is the interweaving of history and reality. There are various blacksmith shops, silverware shops, archery ranges, textile shops, etc., and the scenery of the "Bai Nationality Farm" covered with golden corn and red hot peppers, and folk artists wearing ancient costumes , Lanterns and flags hang high on the street, dazzling and overwhelming. In fact, entering Tianlong Babu Film and Television City is to enter a certain aspect of history.
We came to a market again, where various juggling shows were being performed. These artists all have their own "unique skills". They come from Wuqiao, Hebei, the hometown of acrobatics; All the performances are folk stunts and unique skills, including top altar, mouth-biting stunts, wooden brick handstand, magic whip waxing, and water shooting stars. Don't underestimate these crafts, some of them are facing extinction in the whole country. The film and television city provides corresponding booths and clothing for these artists, and gives certain economic subsidies, allowing them to display their crafts in the "streets and alleys" of the film and television city like ancient people. In fact, it is also a great protection of Chinese cultural treasures. career contribution.
On the right is the shadow play room. Shadow play originated in the Han Dynasty and has always been very popular in our country. With the migration of population, cultural exchanges and religious activities in the past dynasties, it has spread to urban and rural areas across the country, and gradually formed many genres with different styles in various places. The shadow play here is the most distinctive Hui style shadow play in our country. The production characters of shadow puppetry are divided into categories: stubble, body, hands, feet, large sets, props and other categories. If you are interested, you can also go in and enjoy it for yourself, and appreciate the artistic conception of "hand-carrying generals, holding millions of soldiers".
Immediately afterwards, I saw a program that I was most interested in. On Dali Street in Tianlong Babu Film and Television City, the beautiful colorful building built by Duan Zhengchun, the southern king of Dali Township, for his daughter was very eye-catching. The colorful silk flutters on the colorful building, the red lights are hung high, and the figures are shaking, beaming with joy. Miss Duan's family is throwing hydrangea in Cailou to recruit her husband.
The Duanjiacai Building has two floors, with carved beams and painted columns, in sharp contrast with the simple shops behind. The life of ancient officials is nothing more than "the night of weddings and candles in the bridal chamber, when they are nominated for the gold list". What we in Zhennan Shijia intend to represent is the marriage customs of the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the marriage age was 15 for men and 13 for women. The wedding etiquette was quite complete, sometimes even cumbersome, but it also had a unique charm. If you want to experience what it's like to be the son-in-law of the Duan family, then hurry up and grab the hydrangea ball, don't miss this opportunity!
There is a couplet on the Cailou:
The boudoir is just opened and the beauty throws the ball to determine the marriage
Alleys full of talented people wait and see and look forward to favor
At first, the eunuch of the King of Dali sent an imperial decree to Lord Duan, agreeing to his practice of recruiting a son-in-law and giving him a red hydrangea. After receiving the order, Lord Duan asked the housekeeper to entertain the eunuch to the dining room. Passing the decree and receiving the decree, every move and style is quite satisfactory, maybe it is due to psychological effects, listen carefully, and you can even hear the drake voice that eunuchs usually have hummed by the eunuch passing the decree, which makes people laugh.
After receiving the order, Prince Duan went up to the color building and asked the maid to send a message to the young lady to get ready. Prince Duan spoke to the audience of hundreds of tourists from all over the country: Today is the order to invite relatives. Although my prince's daughter is not as shameless as a moon, she is also talented and beautiful. She can do anything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I am choosing a son-in-law here today, I hope everyone will take care of me. The foolish servant girl came out and replied after passing the message, saying that the young lady had never shown her face in public before, and she was too shy to come out. Prince Duan also sent a message saying that this is acting according to an order, and he must come out. After such tossing, the graceful young lady covered her face with water sleeves. Supported by the maidservant, she stepped forward shyly. When the young lady took the hydrangea ball with both hands, she revealed her beautiful face. Sure enough, she had a good face and a generous demeanor. She was worthy of being the daughter of Prince Duan. The young lady glanced at the people downstairs first, and then she was about to throw the hydrangea, but just as she was about to throw it to the north, the young lady retracted her hand again unexpectedly, letting the people standing north under the stage feel in vain. Excited. After hesitating for a while, the young lady finally threw the hydrangea into the crowd: as the hydrangea fell, the people downstairs in Cailou were excited and cheered. The hydrangea was caught by three young men almost at the same time, how about it? Although people came from all over the world, fortunately, they all entered Dali, a state of etiquette, and people from all over the country suddenly became polite and gentlemen. The two young men who were slightly shorter took the initiative to relax their hands holding the hydrangea, and gave this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to the tall young man who also grabbed the hydrangea—for no other reason Next, I have to admit that being tall is also an advantage! The two young men who were slightly shorter had no choice but to reluctantly part with each other.
So, under the guidance of Duan's family, the tall young man holding a hydrangea went up to the Cailou to meet Prince Duan. Prince Duan asked the young man what education he had, and the young man replied that he had a college diploma. As Prince Duan of the Dali Kingdom in the Song Dynasty, he didn't understand what a college diploma was, so he asked the housekeeper around him what kind of fame the Dali Kingdom was. The housekeeper replied that it was equivalent to a probation (approximately undergraduates are considered inferior, and postgraduates and above are considered champions). So Prince Duan was very happy, thinking that the chosen host was not bad.
It was a long journey, and at this moment, two young men who knew about it shouted loudly from Cailou that he was already married, please choose another one. The triumphant young man standing on the colorful building couldn't help being startled, his face turned red and then turned pale, and he couldn't move forward or back. It is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it! The two young men shouting in the audience may be jealous of the one on the stage who has become a son-in-law so easily, and it is even more likely that they both want to replace him.
For a moment, just as people were looking at me and you, not knowing what to do, Prince Duan, who was not surprised at all, coughed, cleared his throat and said: Ladies and gentlemen, don’t say too much, in our Dali Kingdom, talented men marry two There are also people with three wives, and this prince has decided to accept this marriage. Then Prince Duan asked the lucky young man: Nephew, what should you call me now? The lucky young man was very clever, and immediately called respectfully: Father-in-law. So Prince Duan asked his family to take the young man down to change clothes. After a while, the young man came out dressed in the official uniform of Dali Kingdom. Under the host of the master of ceremonies, he and the lady worshiped the heaven and earth, the high hall, and the husband and wife. Under the arrangement of the master of ceremonies, the hostess led the groom into the bridal chamber with a piece of red silk. A lot of candies are thrown down from the color building to make people happy together. As a result, the hydrangea-throwing activities of Prince Duan's Mansion, which lasted more than ten minutes, ended, and people walked to new tourist attractions while eating candies. In the film and television city, this kind of hydrangea throwing activity is organized twice in the morning and two in the afternoon, and a total of four are organized throughout the day. This kind of activity full of local folk customs that everyone can participate in for free makes tourists very happy. For a long time, Cailou was still in high spirits, and there were many discussions. They all said that if they have the opportunity to travel to Dali again in the future, they will come to Tianlong Babu Film and Television City again. If they can strive to be the son-in-law of Prince Duan, then they will be very lucky.
In the film and television city, you can not only experience the dignity of being a "son-in-law", but also witness the majesty of the emperor's welcome, and watch the thrilling scene of arresting the "important criminal of the court".
The show came to an end, and the building directly in front of it was called the Arc de Triomphe (also known as the Desheng Gate). As the name suggests, it was the city gate built to welcome the triumphant return of Shi Teqi, which is also a symbol of honor. Don't look at this door as simple, but it contains many meanings. There are four elephants in front of the city gate, which represent two meanings. One is the homonym of "Xiang" and "Xiang", which means auspiciousness; the other is, look at the feet of the four elephants. Siping and stable means that the mountains and rivers of Cao Dali Kingdom will always be like the feet of four elephants. The three golden pagodas on the top are somewhat imitated from our current three pagodas. From the perspective of Buddhism, its branch mainly comes from the Tantric religion of India, while the prayer towers on both sides. It is obviously derived from Tibetan Buddhism. It can be seen from this that the Dali Kingdom admired Buddhism at that time. There is also a special point for us to pass the city gate. The middle is the emperor's way, the left is the civil official way, and the right is the military officer way. Friends, which way you are on, please choose yourself.
There is a school field behind the Arc de Triomphe. If you want to be a crossbowman in ancient times, you might as well try your skills and see how your arrow skills are.
Entering the Arc de Triomphe is the Dali Palace. There is a spacious dam in front of the palace. The "Dragon Conquering the Devil" rehearsed by the Film and Television City Art Troupe has just kicked off. There is a tortuous story about the murder of the deputy head of the beggar gang Ma and Qiao Feng's life experience and " The internal strife among the "beggar gang" forced away the "leader" Qiao Feng and the image of a knight in the rivers and lakes was reproduced vividly. At the same time, the Tubo national master Jiumozhi led his disciples to Dali to provoke. The confrontation of Duan's "Yiyang Finger" and "Six Meridian Sword" against the Tubo Guoshi's fake "Shaolin Thirty-six Skills" kicked off... It is said that the cast and crew of "Dragon and Babu" were amazed after watching it
The meeting of the Beggars' Clan began. The leader of the Beggars' Clan, Qiao Feng who held a crystal green dog-beating stick, Elder Song with white beard and white hair who held an iron mace, Elder Wu with a red face and a ghost head in his hand, Elder Chen, an old man with long arms who held a sack, Elder Xi holding a steel staff, the elders who passed on the practice, and the elders who enforced the law were present one by one. Due to doubts about Qiao Feng’s origin, the Beggar Gang’s thoughts were confused. Mrs. Ma, the widow of the former deputy leader Ma Dayuan, brought the suicide note of the former leader Wang Jiantong, which stated that Qiao Feng was indeed a descendant of the Khitan people. Master Zhiguang of Tiantai Mountain wearing a red cassock also further confirmed Qiao Feng's identity as a Khitan descendant. Although the content of the suicide note was not fully explained in the scene, for those who have read the novel "Tian Long Ba Bu", this suicide note plays an important role in the whole book, so they will remember that its content is: "Vice Ma of the Yuyu Beggar Gang Clan leader, elders who passed on the practice, elders who enforced the law and other elders, if Qiao Feng was close to the Liao Dynasty and rebelled against the Han, and helped the Khitan and disliked the actions of the Song Dynasty, the whole gang would join forces to kill them immediately, and there must be no mistakes. No meritorious deeds. Written by Wang Jiantong himself. Faced with the danger of the Beggar Gang's splitting, Qiao Feng stuck the Beggar Gang's heavy dog-beating stick into the ground, and bid farewell to the Beggar Gang brothers: "The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. Dear brothers, Brother, let's meet again. "Resolutely resigned from the important position of the leader of the Beggars' Gang and left everyone. Not long after Qiao Feng left, General Helian Tieshu of the Xixia Kingdom led the crowd to attack the Beggars' Gang, and a fierce melee broke out between the two sides. He is the opponent of Helian Tieshu and his gang. When the beggar gang was facing extinction, Qiao Feng fought hard to turn the tide, drove away Helian Tieshu and his gang, and helped the beggar gang to tide over a difficult time. Admired and ashamed.
Because the actors participating in the performance were very involved in the performance, all martial arts movements are real sparring with real knives, all chopping, killing, piercing, striking, receiving and falling; Actions such as tumbling, tumbling, etc. are all meticulous, and the sound of clanging metal between knives and guns can be heard endlessly. Therefore, during the performance, the audience continued to win applause and applause. The wonderful performance of this segment lasted for about ten minutes, and the whole performance ended with the curtain calls of all the actors on stage and warm applause from the audience.
After the show, people were still reluctant to leave for a long time, as if these actors were celebrities who made TV dramas. They asked where these actors came from and why they really had martial arts. It was absorbed directly after graduating from the martial arts school), so everyone asked for a group photo as a souvenir, and the scene was very touching.
Dali's economy and culture are developed, and the architecture of the Dali Palace also imitates the style of the Song Dynasty Palace, which is resplendent and resplendent. The majestic Dali Palace is the place where Duan Zhengming, the 14th emperor of Duan Yu's uncle, met with courtiers and discussed matters in the early court.
As soon as you enter the door, on the left and right sides are the "Dharma Realm Origin and Flow Map", on which are recorded the "Heavenly King Dishi" and "Vatican King Dishi" of the four heavenly kings. The two pictures on the left and right of the inside are the "Picture of Barbarian King Ceremony to Buddha", which records the scene of Dali's advocating Buddhism and the characteristics of their costumes at that time. The one on the far left is Duan Zhixing, the 19th emperor of Dali, the grandson of Duan Yu, who is also the master Yideng in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Duan Zhengming, the emperor was called Baoding Emperor, and the Dali Kingdom was founded in the second year of Jin Tianfu after the Five Dynasties, 23 years earlier than Zhao Kuangyin's Chenqiao mutiny and the addition of the yellow robe. There are two scrolls on each side of the palace, and these four scrolls are from "Zhang Shengwen's Scroll". "Zhang Shengwen Picture Scroll" is also known as "Zhang Shengwen Dali Kingdom Buddhist Portrait Scroll". During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong imitated the method of "cutting the water margin at the waist" and divided "Zhang Shengwen's Picture Scroll" into two volumes.
Every day around five o'clock in the afternoon, there is also a replay of the martial arts scene here - "Dragon Heroes", Qiao Feng, Duan Yu, and Xuzhu Tianlong, the three heroes, will lead the brothers of the Beggar Gang to resist Xixia Yipintang and the four evils, swords and swords , Love, hate, love and hatred, the interpretation is vivid and vivid, this is really - the heroes are brave enough to save the country and protect the rivers and mountains!
After leaving the main hall, you enter the backyard, which is the harem of the emperor of Dali Kingdom - Longevity Palace. It is the imperial palace, study room, bedroom and other buildings, all of which have strong Dali local ethnic style and Buddhist characteristics. The scene seen in it now is not the scene of the original harem, but the scene of the Liao Kingdom's palace that was arranged for the filming of "Dragon and Ba Bu", which is still preserved today.
Coming out of the palace, there is a scenic spot called Songhe Restaurant. This is the place where Qiao Feng and Duan Yu first met, driven by fate. The arrangement of fate made the two of them meet and know each other, and became good brothers who shared life and death.
Anyone who has watched "Dragon Babu" knows that there is a romantic and infatuated Prince Duan in Dali. He is Zhennan King Duan Zhengchun. What kind of atmosphere does such a controversial and passionate prince live in? How did Duan Yu grow up in such a family? The next scenic spot is the place where Duan's family lived and grew up - Zhennan Wangfu.
Zhennan Prince's Mansion is Duan Zhengchun's mansion. He is the younger brother of the Emperor of Dali. When he was young, he traveled around the Central Plains and admired himself in romance. It's normal to have domestic pets, but unfortunately, his original wife, Dao Baifeng, is from Baiyi, the daughter of the great chief of Baiyi in Yunnan, and the Baiyi tribe has always been monogamous. Married to the second wife again, but he continued to be promiscuous, and finally provoked Dao Baifeng and had to become a monk in anger and became a Taoist nun. Because there were not many Han people in Yunnan at that time, without the support of the barbarians, the Duan family's throne would not be stable at all.
Before entering the Zhennan Palace, there is a treasure of the film and television city between the palace and the palace - the archway. Why do you say it is a treasure here? This is a tall stone archway, because its beams and four stone pillars were excavated from a whole piece of original stone, without any broken beams or faults. It is 12.5 meters high and weighs 30 tons. This stone archway is also the largest stone archway in Yunnan Province.
The vestibule (living room) of Zhennan Wangfu is where Duan Zhengchun used to receive visitors and distinguished guests. It is also the place where the crew of "Dragon Babu", "A Chinese Ghost Story", and "Fu Xing Gao Zhaoxu Bajie" filmed the most scenes.
In the TV series "Dragon Babu", the scene where Duan Yu subdued the youngest of the "Four Great Evil Men" as his apprentice was filmed here. The "God of the Crocodile of the South China Sea" who wanted to take Duan Yu as his apprentice swore three tricks to Duan Yu. If Duan Yu was defeated, Duan Yu would have to worship him as his teacher. If he could not defeat Duan Yu himself, he would worship Duan Yu as his teacher. , As a result, "South Sea Crocodile God" lost, so he had to worship Duan Yu as his teacher. In fact, the trick used by Duan Yu is the Xiaoyao School "Lingbo Weibu" learned in Dali Wuliang Mountain.
Going out from the left back door is the back garden of the palace. The flower hall is where the emperor and empress met Mu Wanqing. There is a small living room in the middle, Duan Zhengchun's living room is on the left, and the dining room is on the right. The layout of the palace is similar to our current Bai people's residences. It can be seen that Duan Zhengchun's life back then was quite rough. As a palace, why is it so simple? In fact, although the Duan family is a family of emperors, it also belongs to the people of the martial arts, and many things are solved in the way of the people of the martial arts. Although he proclaimed himself emperor in Dali, he always followed the precepts of his ancestors in all his daily life and food, and he dared not forget his roots and be too extravagant. The backyard of the palace is the Sutra Pavilion, and wandering around the Duan Palace can easily remind people of the stories of love and hatred that happened here, as if seeing Duan Zhengchun, the romantic and infatuated Prince Duan back then.
Once you leave Prince Duan's Mansion, you are outside the territory of Dali Kingdom. The architecture and structure of the houses you see now are completely different from Dali Kingdom. This is the Daliao Kingdom. The monarch of the Liao Kingdom is Yelu Hongji, Emperor Xiaowen of the Daozong of the Liao Dynasty. There are nine generations of monarchs in Liao, and he is the eighth. He is "quiet and strict in nature". In "Dragon Babu", this person is the most hypocritical person!
At the end of Daliao Street is a city tower, which is completely different from the style of Dali. At the end of Xiaoliao Street is a spacious compound, which is the home of "Master Xue". The episode where the man in black was rescued was filmed here. Who is that "man in black"? People who have read this novel and TV series will naturally understand that if you haven't read the novel or TV series, you just have to read it to know.
Walking through Daliao Street, we came to a small country with an underdeveloped economy and culture in the northwest—Xixia Kingdom. If its economy and culture are to be compared with those of Dali, the royal palace is naturally incomparable with the Dali King's Palace. The ground is flat and orderly, but Xixia's is uneven. The architectural style is also very different, but it has a different kind of exotic style, and because the Xixia Kingdom does not have a city wall, it looks more spacious and clear. It is conceivable that the princess of Xixia recruited a son-in-law here in those days. It is here that Xu Zhu and his Meng Gu got married. Such an enviable marriage made many heroes feel sorry for them, including Gusu Murong, who has tried everything.
There is an octagonal building not far in front, the overall structure is similar to the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, that is the Xixia Palace. Xixia is the current Ningxia and Gansu areas, and the Hui people are the majority. Because the wind and sand in the northwest are relatively strong, most of the houses and buildings are streamlined. The palace has 3 floors from the outside, but one floor is connected to the top from the inside.
Closely connected with Xixia is the Jurchen tribe. The Jurchen tribe is located in the Changbai Mountain area. The tribe has been nomadic since childhood, so they are particularly brave and good at fighting. The houses of the nomads seem simple, a bit like a yurt. The thatched hall in the tribe is particularly eye-catching. Around the hall, there are many thatched houses. Although this group seems simple, it reflects the uniqueness of this nomadic people. The unique style and the infinite scenery outside the Guan can not help but remind people of the strength and roughness of the Hu people, and naturally think of the hero Xiao Feng in "Dragon Babu", as if seeing his vigorous figure and heroic posture.
The main hall is the residence of the Jurchen chief. On the right side of the main hall is the place where Ah Zi was injured and Qiao Feng took her to seek medical treatment.
In addition, there used to be a stone pagoda in the shape of a hammer-shaped Lama in the nursery next to the north stream of the Lvyu River in the south of the first pagoda of Hongsheng Temple at the foot of Cangshan Mountain in Dali. Now it has been enclosed in Tianlong Babu Film and Television City, located in the Dali Palace Not far from the city wall on the right. According to historical records, that is the pagoda of the Four Japanese Monks preserved in Dali. It was the pagoda where four Japanese monks were buried together after their death in Dali, Yunnan during the Ming Dynasty.
This stone tomb tower of the four Japanese monks was built in 2005 when the famous Japanese movie star Ken Takakura and the famous Chinese director Zhang Yimou went to Lijiang to film "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles". , was cared for by the people of Dali for more than 600 years. When the pagoda is still preserved, I was deeply moved and sincerely donated 10,000 US dollars to ask the Dali Prefecture Government to restore it on the basis of retaining the original appearance of the pagoda. It has now been completed. Attracting more and more tourists from Japan and other countries and regions to visit and pay homage.
The tomb tower has a unique shape, and it is the first time I have seen a tomb tower with this shape. The total height of the tomb tower is about 7 meters, and it is completely built with local stones; the base of the tower is 1 meter high and about 4 meters in diameter, which is very stable; Meters, each side of a regular hexagon with a side length of about 1.7 meters is built into a base like a lotus platform. The hammer-shaped pagoda on the base is 3 meters high; on the west side of the pagoda, there is an oval-shaped pagoda gate with a height of 1.5 meters and a width of 60 centimeters. , and there is no text, but at the height of 1 meter in the tower facing north, there is a solid window mark that is basically square. Seen from a distance, the whole pagoda is graceful, solemn and solemn; the stones of the pagoda body are dark in color, the lime layer is mottled, and the top of the pagoda is covered with desolate withered grass, which shows that the pagoda has gone through vicissitudes and is old.
Regarding the origin of this tower, I also checked some materials after returning home, but there are no detailed records. According to Li Yuanyang, a famous writer and geographer in Yunnan, in "Dali Mansion Chronicles": "The four Japanese monk towers are on the north stream of Longquan Peak. Lu Guanggu and Dounan, the two lost their names, and they are all Japanese. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, they were relegated to Dali, and all of them were good at poetry and calligraphy. When they died, they learned from Buddhism and were buried by the county people." The so-called "Beijian", that is, the Lvyu River, a tributary of Baihe River, is located between Yuju Peak and Longquan Peak. , one of the tributaries is called "North Stream", and the geographical orientation of the four monks' pagodas is consistent with the historical records. There are stone pagodas beside the stream, which are the tombs of the four Japanese monks. It is "the people of the county buried it with pity", the people of the Bai nationality traveled thousands of miles to Cang'er to pass on the scriptures to the Japanese monks, and after their death, they built a joint burial tomb tower to commemorate them.
How did Japanese monks come to Yunnan and Dali? It can be roughly divided into three situations: First, at the end of the 14th century A.D., when the samurai samurai of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan were fighting for supremacy, a group of Japanese monks came to China as envoys and were placed in Sichuan and Shaanxi by the Ming government. and Yunnan; second, some Japanese were "wandering monks" who came to Dali from the mainland; Hu Weiyong was the prime minister of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. In the contradiction between monarchy and prime minister, he was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang in the thirteenth year of Hongwu (1380 A.D.). Many years after his death, Zhu Yuanzhang collected charges and framed him for treason, which brought disaster to some Japanese Monk, who was exiled and sent to Yunnan and Dali.
How many Japanese monks came to Yunnan? According to records, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, a group of Japanese monks lived in Yunnan, and there are more than a dozen of them who are well-known in the existing historical materials. Such as Jianjixian, Tianxiang, Dayong, Zongle, Dounan, Yanzhizong, Jingzhongzhao, Guiyin, Tanyan, Ruyao, Lu Guanggu, etc.
During the Hongwu Period of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese monks such as Dounan, Jian Jixian, Guiyin, Tianxiang, and Lu Guanggu traveled to Dali, Yunnan, where they studied Zen and recited poems, leaving a good story of Sino-Japanese Buddhist cultural exchanges. According to historical records, most of the Japanese monks in Yunnan are famous monks from the five mountains. Which four monks are buried in Dali's "Four Japanese Monks Pagoda"? Due to the long history, Li Yuanyang's records are relatively brief, and there are no inscriptions or written records left on the pagoda. It is difficult to determine them one by one. The existence of the tomb is beyond doubt. For hundreds of years, the Bai people have called the pagoda "foreign monk pagoda at the foot of Cangshan Mountain", and it does exist.
The Four Monk Pagodas in Japan have been preserved relatively completely to this day. After more than 600 years of care by the Bai people for generations, it reflects the Bai people's cherishment of human cultural heritage and demonstrates the diversity and inclusiveness of Dali's long history and culture. The Japanese Four Monks Pagoda in Dali is a historical witness of the cultural exchanges between China and Japan, the friendship between the people of China and Japan, the Japanese people and the people of all ethnic groups in Dali.
Walking out of the residence of the Jurchen chief, the Tianlongbabu Film and Television City has basically been visited, and I have a certain understanding of the history of Dali Kingdom in the Song Dynasty, Tianlongbabu and Tianlongbabu Film and Television City.
In the film and television city, you can also enjoy the infinitely beautiful scenery of Dali. You can only see the majestic Diancang Mountain with the 19th peak and the 18th stream. The Erhai Lake, which is 200 miles away, is as clear as a mirror, and the moonlight is shining on the water. The Cangshan Mountain and the snow complement each other at night when the fishermen sing, like a plateau pearl inlaid in the Yunling Hengduan Mountains. Today's Dali is famous in Jin Yong's famous works, and it also creates an authentic feeling for Zhang Jizhong's TV drama shooting.
I am not a fan of martial arts, but I was also fascinated by it. It also sent me back to the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty in "Dragon and Babu". Qiao Feng...everyone is so vivid, and every scene feels impeccable. In addition to the excellent actors, more importantly, the scenery in the scene is very beautiful, which adds to the rendering of the plot. Like the part where A Zhu committed suicide under the moonlit night, I still remember the light blue night, behind the bridge is the faintly discernible Qingdai Cangshan Mountain, and the clear mountain stream is shimmering with moonlight. This beautiful night vividly renders Qiao Feng’s love grief .
The grandeur of Tianlong Babu Film and Television City, the mystery of the pagodas, the majesty of Cangshan Mountain, the beauty of Erhai Lake, etc., these scenery fully reflect the historical reality of Jin Yong's martial arts art. The current Tianlong Babu City is not only a film and television city, but also one of the must-see routes to Dali. Outside the bustling cities, in the beautiful scenery and the scenes of TV dramas, everyone can become a chivalrous man here, wantonly in the rivers and lakes in the shadow of swords, lights and swords, cooking wine and discussing heroes with great passion, with thousands of sorrows and tenderness.
...
In addition, if you are at the gate of the city between 9 am and 2 pm, you can see the emperor of Dali holding a grand opening ceremony outside the gate of the city. The king of Dali issued an "imperial decree" to open the city, and personally led civil and military officials, queens and concubines to welcome the guests. The scene of the Kaicheng ceremony is magnificent, solemn and vivid, allowing you to feel the strong atmosphere of the "Ancient Kingdom of Dali" before entering the city.
After leaving the film and television city, I was taken to the jade processing factory at the north gate of the city. I heard that it was run by the Dali Prefecture Government. After wandering around the exhibition and sales hall for a while, I found a cabbage plant that I was quite satisfied with, and bought it for 240 yuan. Jade bracelets and agate bracelets are also sold here, and the price is not bad. The commentator said sadly that in the past it was Yunnan jade, but now it is Myanmar jade, because Mizhina was assigned to Myanmar.
