Randy W Posted February 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) An old photo showing 2 of the 250 stone towers that still stand today in Tibet and Southwest China. Chinese and Tibetan scholars have surmised that they were erected between 200 and 1400 CE and used as storage, defensive posts, status symbols, and beacons. from Historic Photographs on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/HistoricPhotographs/posts/pfbid02FcLxjXo5tkkDFNgDkhZLq57jP14zsP7zynWZn37qNYYADG6ADhYbdvBSEmSPyddTl the National Geographic (paywalled) PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 Ancient Himalayan towers keep their secrets on a walk through southwest China Amid Sichuan’s Hengduan Mountains, mysterious stone towers built jut more than 100 feet into the sky. No one is sure why. and Goldthread These mysterious towers in southwestern China have stumped scholars for centuries Amar Grover FEB 18, 2021 Quote Dongnuguo 东女国 is a word you’ll often hear locals say. It means “Eastern Queendom” and stems from a decade-old theory that Suopo was, in fact, the ancient capital of a land once ruled by queens. Various cultural factors lend some credence to this claim. The Book of Tang, a famous 10th- to 11th-century encyclopedic gazette on the Tang Dynasty, references the queendom and specifically mentions a queen living in a nine-story building while commoners had six-story houses. It’s unclear why Danba’s towers are so extraordinarily tall. Their practical use is also a puzzle. Locals usually cite storage or defense, but in this earthquake-prone region, the skill and effort expended in their construction and maintenance would have been considerable. It’s questionable, too, whether their extravagant height gained any corresponding defensive advantages—after all, height is might until your enemies are within striking distance.

It was originally called “Yishan”, and it was renamed because of a legend that Emperor Xuanyuan once made alchemy here. 📷 Callie Chee from Spirits Within on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/chineseculturelab/posts/515111684005562/ Link to comment
