In Jiexiu, there is a unique and magical building called Aoshen Tower, which honors the number "three".

There is a unique and magical building in Jiexiu that honors the number "three" Aoshenlou, a name full of exotic charm, tells the turbulent events of thousands of years ago with its unique charm. Especially sacred in the wind and rain The Zoroastrian Temple is the only remaining building in China that contains exotic religious features. It is located at the east end of Shunchengguan Street in Jiexiu City. According to the inscription on the stele, the building was built in the Northern Song Dynasty by Wen Yanbo, a famous politician of the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to commemorate the divine monkey that helped him in the Jidai peasant uprising. Zoroastrianism was one of the more popular religions in China during the Sui and Tang dynasties. 1. It originated in the West Asia region in the 6th century BC and was called "Zoroastrianism". It once became the main religion of Sassanid Persia, Bactria and Sogdian city-states, and was widely popular in Iran and Central Asia. The Aoshen Tower consists of a music tower, a porch and screen wall in front of the tower, and a street-crossing tower. The three-tiered hip roof structure is in the shape of a "convex" character in plan, 20 meters deep and about 25 meters high. The accessories and ridge decorations are all made of glazed products, which is magnificent. Walking into the Zoroastrian temple, one can see the worship of the number 3 everywhere. This kind of worship is not uncommon in traditional Chinese culture, but it is particularly evident in Zoroastrian temples. The number "three" represents good luck. The main building is three stories high and is divided into three parts. The music building has three rooms and the roof is decorated with three-color glazed tiles. It is the Three Brothers Temple and the coexistence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Animal patterns such as tigers, sheepdogs, sacred cows, and elephants are common in wooden brackets and corbels. These animals were worshipped as sacred beasts and carved in temples, appearing mysterious and solemn. There are many specific meanings, I can't explain it clearly Among the rows of exquisite red, yellow, blue and green glazed components on the roof of the Zoroastrian Temple, the shapes of several figures look particularly unique. Maybe there is a special reason for this.
