The funerary objects mainly include pottery pots, pottery towers, pottery stoves, etc., but also a small amount of glazed pottery, lacquer ear cups, lacquer plates, stone tables, and bronze mirrors. Rare floor tiles found in Han Dynasty tombs have been unearthed. It is a provincial key cultural relic protection unit. Huayan Temple Brick Pagoda The Huayan Temple Brick Pagoda is located in Qingliang Mountain, 2.5 kilometers west of Wudao Village, Hejiabao Township, Huairen County. The mountain is divided into two peaks, north and south. The south peak is 1,467 meters above sea level, and the north peak is 1,500 meters above sea level. There are ruins of Huayan Temple in the valley between the two peaks. According to the examination of the ruins and some remaining tube and tiles, it was believed that it was founded in the Liao Dynasty and rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. The temple faces north and south, and the entire area originally includes the main hall, music building, east and west wing rooms, etc. There is a pedal road in the northwest of the temple, leading to the foot of the mountain, which is the way to enter the temple. To the right in front of the temple are three remaining stone statues and remains of the tower. A grotto was excavated on the mountainside due to the north. The grotto has a mountain on its back and a valley on its back, and is carved into the rock. In front of the cave, there is a front eaves hole made of bricks, and the brick carvings on the outer eaves are exquisite. It was inscribed in the Ming Dynasty as "Qingliang Temple". There is no historical record of the time when the grottoes were excavated. Based on the existing Buddha statues, it was concluded that they were carved during the Liao and Jin dynasties. There is an inscription on the cave door that was reinstalled in the eighth year of Xianfeng (1858). As for the eaves and brick carvings, there is no doubt that they were added during the Qing Dynasty. On the east side are the ruins of Wenshu Monastery. The grotto is a Buddhist worship place attached to the temple. A tower is built on the top of the southwest peak as the main building. The remains of these cultural relics fully prove that this was a place where Buddhism flourished. Huayan Temple Brick Pagoda, commonly known as Qingliangshan Pagoda. The year of creation is unknown. Based on other evidence and analysis of existing structures, it should be a relic from the mid-Liao Dynasty. The tower stands on the top of the mountain, facing south from the north, with an octagonal plane, and the eight corners are 1.50 meters long. It is a seven-level hollow building built with grooved bricks of various sizes, about 13 meters high. The bottom layer of bricks is a single-layer Xumizuo, about 1 meter high. The stone is laid under the seat, and there is no square base. Instead, several layers of bricks are built upright along the body of the tower, gradually retracting to form a girdle. The upper and lower beams on each side of the girdle are divided into three pot doors by leaning pillars. The convex shoulders in the pot door form a curve, 0.26 meters high and 0.50 meters wide. The pillars are made into diamonds and strong men to support the upper flat base and the tower body. The tower body consists of the outer wall and the tower ventricle. Each corner of the outer wall is built with oblique square pilasters, about 2.5 meters high, supported by Pu Fang. On the south side of the tower, there is a brick door with a height of 1.55 meters and a width of 0.60 meters. A door is placed on the top for people to enter and exit the ventricle of the tower. The indoor space is small, with a square plan, each corner is 1 meter wide and slightly narrowed, and the total height is 3.4 meters. The top is stacked with bricks of different sizes to form square and octagonal shapes, which are gradually reduced and retracted layer by layer, so that the spire is slightly flattened, and the form and production are relatively exquisite. The eaves of the tower are equipped with four wooden-like structures as brackets, and the upper floors are not used. The brackets are placed on Pubai Fang, which uses larger materials. Arrangement: Each corner post is paved with a flower. The method is to use sufficient mud arches on the buckets to support the pillars and brackets, with scattered buckets in the middle. There is a Chinese arch on the outside, and the eaves and fangs are supported on the tower eaves. The eaves of the tower are carved into rafters, flying eaves, continuous eaves, tile openings, etc. The wing corners are a mixed structure of brick and wood, with old corner beams and small corner beams emerging from the bottom. The same is true for the eaves and rafters on the upper six floors. The top brake lever, treasure bottle and other components no longer exist. The facade of the tower is in the shape of a cone, the same as other Liao towers. The tower body above the second floor suddenly becomes shorter, the width of the tower body decreases from the bottom up, and the distance between the tower eaves is closer, forming a slightly bulging curved outline, so the shape is graceful and elegant. A Xumi base is used under the pagoda, and a large number of reliefs are used, such as the pot door, waistband, column forehead, wall surface, and pagoda eaves. All parts completely imitate wooden buildings. This is an important feature of pagodas in the Liao and Jin Dynasties. Secondly, various animal and plant patterns and sculptures of flying apsaras and strong men are put together to achieve a gorgeous and beautiful effect. In addition, there are no brackets on the ends of the eaves, columns and intervening spaces on the tower body, which can often be seen when compared with towers of the same period. The lowest floor of the tower is very high, the distance between the following floors is very short, and the outer eaves are closely connected. There are no doors or windows between floors. This practice is the most common in Liao pagodas. The tower overlaps several levels, but there is no sense of pressure and it is handled very naturally. The rulers of the Liao Dynasty believed in Buddhism and built temples extensively in the five capitals. They not only absorbed and integrated the architectural culture of the Han people at that time, but also inherited and developed the inherent structures and construction techniques of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, creating many Buddhist temples with historical value. Palaces and towers, such as the Bojiajiao Hall of Huayan Temple in Datong, the Mahavira Hall of Shanhua Temple, the Sakyamuni Pagoda of Fogong Temple in Yingxian County, the Guanyin Pavilion and Shanmen of Dule Temple in Jixian County, Hebei Province, etc., all occupy a very important position in the history of world architecture. .At the same time, brick and stone pagodas have experienced unprecedented development, their styles and types have increased, and their carving techniques have become more sophisticated. Compared with early pagodas, Liao and Jin pagodas are distinguished by their delicate carvings, gorgeous decorations and realistic imitation wood structures. Especially starting from the early Qingning years of Liao Daozong, it was combined with my country's rich traditional construction techniques, such as platform bases, flat seats and brackets, and different styles of hook rails were put together to create a rich and gorgeous style. It became the high base form of Liao and Jin pagodas. important features. In the mid-Liao Dynasty, the plan design of brick towers was in the octagonal shape, and the tower body was made of dense eaves. The structure of the hollow tower mostly inherited the "single sleeve" structure of the Tang Dynasty. The outer contour of the tower is cone-shaped, which is different from those before the Tang Dynasty. Most of the Xumizuo are carved with characters or patterns such as singing, dancing, music, vajra, strongman, etc. Another example is the use of brackets. Most of the corners of the Liao Pagoda have 45° inclined arches, but this is different in other generations. As for the changes in tower eaves, before the Tang Dynasty, they were all ancient overlapping eaves. However, the pagoda eaves in the Liao Dynasty are very similar to the eaves structure of Chinese wooden buildings, such as continuous eaves, tiles, wing corners, etc. The above-mentioned characteristics of the times are very obvious and can be confirmed by the age of the brick pagoda of Huayan Temple. The brick pagoda of Huayan Temple not only provides important physical data for the study of local historical buildings, but also has high academic value for the study of the structural methods and styles of Chinese pagodas. The Efeokou site is located in Guadigou 1 km west of Emaokou Village, Efeokou Town, 10 kilometers northwest of Huairen County. Guadinggou is divided into big Guadinggou and small Guadinggou, which are two small gullies of Efeo River, a tributary of Sanggan River. The ruins are located at the source of the two gullies and on several connected hills around the source. The site is a stone tool manufacturing site with an area of ??about 20,000 square meters. It was discovered by the famous archaeologist Jia Lanpo during his inspection in northern Shanxi in July 1963. The raw materials for making stone tools are mainly tuff, followed by lamprophyre, and a very few are made of quartzite. The types of stone tools include chopping tools, pointed tools, scrapers, turtle-shaped ax tools, stone axes, stone hoes, stone hammers, stone sickles, etc. Most of the stone tools at the Efeokou site are made, some of which are very primitive, while some such as stone axes, stone sickles, stone hammers, etc. have the characteristics of the Neolithic Age, so they belong to the early Neolithic period. The Efeokou site is a provincial key cultural relic protection unit. [Huairen First Street] Tongtai Road has unique scenic spots. The 208 National Highway Tai Road, which has been officially completed and opened to traffic recently, has been praised by people for its unique scenic spots, wide road surface and large green area. After the reconstruction, the 208 National Highway has been expanded from the original 7 meters to the current 27 meters. The green isolation width in the middle is 6 meters, and the sidewalks on both sides are 10.5 meters each. All roads are asphalt paved, with a water-stabilized layer of 20 cm thick, and a total asphalt pavement area of ??23,000 square meters. The isolation zone is entirely planted with lawns, with a green area of ??23,000 square meters, and 303 cypress trees dotted in the middle, forming a 3.5-kilometer-long green corridor. 170 new single-arm lights were installed on both sides of Tongtai Road, and 40 new lanterns were installed in the middle isolation zone. The total lighting wattage is 8.14 million watts. The sidewalks on both sides of the road are hardened with embossed bricks, with a total area of ??13,600 square meters. The newly built Yunxi Plaza has a total area of ??45.36 million square meters (approximately 6.8 acres). The entire square is compact, refined, and beautiful.
