Taiping Palace

This is the site of the "Baoqing Guild Hall" in the Hongjiang Ancient Mall at that time. Baoqing Pavilion is called Taiping Palace. It is a guild hall built by Baoqing people. The pier is higher here, which also shows the style of the guild hall. Moreover, the water and dry wharfs are connected here. Baoqing people are mainly engaged in industry. There is a saying in Hongjiang that "the hammer of Baoqing people", so the craftsmen who come to Hongjiang to do business must come here to worship the wharf. The construction of Taiping Palace brought together skilled craftsmen from all over the country, and it took 12 years to build it. From its gate, it can be seen that the carving is very fine and beautiful, and the patterns carved on it also show the thoughts of Baoqing people's loyalty to the monarch, patriotism and martial arts. From left to right, they are "Mother-in-law tattooed", "She Taijun takes command", "Guo Ziyi's birthday", "Liu Bei leaping across Tanxi". There is also a pattern of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea on the right, implying a hundred craftsmanship. On the lintel of the Taiping Palace, there are double dragons playing with beads. There is a main hall, a side hall and a big stage in the hall. There is a statue of the god in the main hall. In front of the statue, there is a big sword of Guan Gong, which is made of all-iron. It is known as 108 jin. There is a statue of Guanyin in the side hall. The gate wall of the Taiping Palace is built in the form of round bricks, which is very strong. It also implies that people in the world must be united in order to achieve great things. "Baoqing" is now Shaoyang, Hunan Province. The "Top Ten Guild Halls" headed by "Bao Qing Guild Hall" lead the business world. At that time, while taking on the functions of economic organization, it also played the role of political organization, which is very characteristic of traditional Chinese culture!
