趙家堡

趙家堡座落於漳浦縣湖西鄉碩高山麓，距漳州市區90公里。南宋亡時，末代皇族閩沖郡王趙若和（宋太祖趙匡胤之弟趙匡美第十世孫）曾逃難隱居於此。明萬曆年間開始建堡，歷時二十年方才完工。城堡仿北宋京城汴京式樣修建，整個建築群由兩部分組成，初建的舊樓，舊堡為主體的部分。樓分為三層四合式四方樓，高20米，占地484多平方米，每層16間，共48間，樓門上鐫刻著"完璧樓"三字，取"完璧歸趙"之意。樓外環以石基土堡，三合土堡牆高6米，寬2米多，上有垛口。設東西南北四個城門，東門題刻"東方钜障"，西門題"碩高居勝"，南門題"丹鼎鐘祥"，唯北門沒有題額。西門設甕城，立有趙範"碩高築堡記"碑。東門內有百米石街，天井中築一條地道通東門外。"完譬樓"及其環衛土堡俗稱"內城"。另一部分是趙義擴建的五座五進府第，每座30間，共150間，俗稱"官廳"。每座第5進為2層樓，系內眷住宅。現仍保存完好。官廳前是鋪石廣場，場上有"修竹"、"父子大夫"石坊，廣場前有內外水池，池上築有精緻的"汴派橋"。此外還有修竹花園、輯卿小院、聚佛寶塔、古井、武廟等建築;有"悟石"、"讀書處"、"雲巢"、"咫尺玄門"及摹自宋代書法家米芾手跡的"墨池"、摹自禹碑的岣嶁碑等石刻。這是我省目前保存最完好的古城堡建築群。周圍約一公里半，面積約半平方裏。
　

Zhaojiabao Castle

Zhaojiabao Castle was built by descendants of the royal family of the Song Dynasty. When the Southern Song Dynasty was overthrown, Zhao Ruohe-a member of the royal family fled to Zhangpu with his family, and lived there in recluse. After 300 years, Zhao Fan, a descendant of Zhao Ruohe, became an official in the Ming Dynasty. He began to build the Zhaojiabao Castle with his son Zhao Yi in 1600 A.D. The whole project lasted more than twenty years and still keeps the intact appearance of the ancient capital of the Song Dynasty.

When approaching the main tourist entrance of Zhaojiabao Castle it looked more like a remote fishing village rather than an ancient royal residency. Once inside the compound however, I realized that there was definitely something special about the place.

The first building we visited was a three-story structure used for lodging and military(軍事) purposes. Upon entering the building's front entrance I saw a large stone pit in the center with a small hole hidden behind the stairs. The guide told me that the hole was a secret escape route of the royal family and that it led all the way to the ocean! While looking from the window on the third floor one structure especially caught my eye.

We were led to the special building I had seen and it turned out to be where the royal family had lived. They had built three buildings which looked exactly the same, one after the other getting bigger each time. The most impressive part of this building to me was the set of stairs leading up to the throne that had a huge piece of granite forming the top step stretching about ten meters across. How could they have moved such a massive stone with no modern technology?

Just during the few short hours I was there I really got the feeling that I was stepping back into history. The pictures I took and the information I was told will certainly help me to remember the Zhaojiabao Castle for the rest of my life.

　

Have A Nice Trip !    祝君旅途愉快 !
