Huamen consists of three parts: base, main entrance and attic. It is a magnificent building with outstanding modeling momentum, which is compatible with the ancient architectural styles of various periods. Each part contains profound cultural connotations. What is now unfolding before us is that the Huamen Grand Step is the only way to the main building of Huamen. It consists of 56 yellow-brown steps and 56 statues, which means that China's 5,000-year civilization and glory were jointly created by 56 ethnic groups. The stone carvings on both sides of the big steps are called "welcome animals", holding their heads high and holding wine on their backs. Welcome everyone to visit. Designed by Mr. Su Qingping, the chief designer of Huamen, it is the first time in the architectural history of China and has applied for patent protection. You can't see it anywhere outside huamen. The 25-meter-long waterfall wall in front of the main entrance of Huamen represents the Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese nation, and the birthplace of Chinese civilization. A pair of giant hands above the pedestal platform hold a pottery basin, which embodies the idea that labor creates history. Pottery is one of the important symbols of human development from Paleolithic to Neolithic, and it is also the main instrument in Yao and Shun period. The stone carving of "holding pottery with huge hands" symbolizes the status of civilization in the Yao and Shun period, and also represents the industrious and intelligent people in China who created history and civilization with their labor and hands. The 2 1 marble arranged from top to bottom in the middle represents the 2 1 historical dynasties of Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han after Yao and Shun, vividly showing the long historical process of China's 5,000-year civilization from Yao and Shun. The wheel-shaped railings on both sides of the steps are made of thick stone wheels, as if the 5,000-year history of China is like wheels rolling forward, which is the first time in the history of China architecture. The original design of Huamen Grand Steps embodies the origin of China and the theme of ancestors' culture, which makes people feel traced back to the source as soon as they enter Huamen.
The main entrance is the core of Huamen, which is tall and heavy, majestic and solemn, and the national spirit is awe-inspiring. The three doors standing on the front symbolize the three ancestors of Yao Shunyu, which intuitively embodies the cultural theme of the door of civilization and the door of the roots. The main door in the middle is as high as18m, which is the highest and largest door in the world. The big red door leaf is inlaid with 8 1 copper nails according to the traditional 99 regulations of China, giving people a deep China complex. If you look closely, you can see that two giant doors are half open, which is the special meaning of Huamen's history and culture. According to historical records, "the name of China began with Yao", which means that Yao was the first national ancestor who appointed Kyushu to unify China. More than 4,700 years ago, Linfen, the capital of Jian Yao, formed the earliest national structure, and the 5,000-year civilization history of the Chinese nation began, laying a historical position as an ancient oriental civilization. The half-open front door just shows that the door of Chinese civilization has just been opened by Emperor Yao. After Yao and Shun, the 5,000-year-old road of civilization was expanded by more than 20 historical dynasties. The Chinese nation has always been the most powerful nation in the world. History has proved that the opening of the country is the beginning of civilization. As far as reality is concerned, the opening of Huamen is a symbol of open door, which means the opening of the country and the prosperity of the world. Therefore, standing in front of this tall and majestic China gate, you can feel the great significance of opening the door of the Chinese nation 5,000 years ago, and at the same time, you can appreciate the powerful impetus of opening the door of the Chinese nation 5,000 years later.
