广州增城:百年古塔守护一方文脉与乡愁
Lingnan: Beauty Beyond Borders | The Yanta Tower was built in 1574 on Zhi Mountain in Zengcheng, #Guangzhou. It is known as the cultural landmark of Licheng, symbolizing the auspicious meaning of that students can achieve high success. The tower is also the deep-seated sentimentality of many Zengcheng people, bearing the homesickness of thousands of wanderers.
It is nestled among layers of lush mountains and reflects on the clear waters of the Zengjiang River. Like an elderly sage who has weathered the years, the tower has stood for four centuries, watching over the land beneath it; yet it also resembles a youthful figure with sharp features, unyielding to the passage of time and full of vitality. The main colors of the tower are cinnabar red, pine green, and a large area of white, adding a touch of liveliness and freshness to it.#SplendidLingnan
雁塔建于1574年,位于广州增城荔城街城南豸山上,有荔城“华表”之称。因取其鸿雁高飞、学子高中的吉祥之意,故名。它是增城的文化地标,传承千载文脉代代相传,更是很多增城人记忆深处的乡愁,承载万千游子思乡之情。
雁塔掩映于重峦茂林之中,又投影于增江碧波之上。它如一位饱经沧桑的老者,四百年如一日地站着,守望着脚下这片土地;又如一位棱角分明的少年,岁月不败、生机勃勃。朱砂红、松柏绿、大面积的白,构成了雁塔的主要色调,让雁塔多了一分灵动与清新。
