Tower, a classical building with carved beams and painted rafters,

has been served as the symbol of Xi’an. It stands in the center of

the downtown area where the north street, the south street, the west

Ladies and gentlemen, There is a story about the Bell Tower.

It’s said that the first emperor of Ming dynasty , Zhu yuanzhang ,

he was born in a poor family. Both his parent died when he was

young, and he had to live a hard life. Later, he went to a temple to

become a monk. When he ascended the throne, he was afraid of

being deposed by someone of “real dragon”. Therefore, he gave orders to build bell tower all over the county

to repress the “dragon spirits”. Xi’an has been the imperial

capital city since ancient times. So the “dragon spirits ” must be

very strong here. That’s why the bell tower in Xi’an was not only

built earlier, but also bigger than the other ones in the country. The

base of the tower is 1,337.4 square meters in size, 8.6 meters high

and 35.5 meters wide.

It was laid with blue bricks all over. The whole building is 36

meters above ground. It is a brick-and –wood structure. The eaves

are supported by colored “dou gong” a traditional structural

system in which brackets are used to join columns and crossbeams,

the use of dou gong made the whole building firm and beautiful.
