Tianjin "Century Clock"-a dazzling symbol in the dark night
Tianjin's Century Clock is a landmark building in Tianjin. This is a large-scale city sculpture built by Tianjin to welcome the new era. It is distributed in Tianjin's squares. The year 2001 was the most meaningful year for Tianjin's Century Clock. On January 1st of this year, the sweet bells spread to every corner of Tianjin Station, allowing people to truly understand Century Clock. Keep it in mind. The Century Clock was built on the green space around the island of Jiefang Bridge in Tianjin. There is such an exquisite and unique building on the area of 5,000 square meters that no one can miss. Now we will learn more about the rich content of Century Clock.
Before seeing the deity of Century Clock, let's listen to the staff introduce this famous building. It is said that the building materials of this century clock are all metal, so it looks radiant, especially under the bright sunlight. The tour guide told us that the height of this clock is about 40 meters, and its diameter is about 15 meters. Its base occupies an area of 75 square meters. It is said that someone has accurately calculated its weight to be about 170 tons. A very large building. The building is divided into three specific parts, namely the clock plate, the pendulum frame and the pedestal. The pendulum swings up and down, advancing and retreating with time, reflecting the sun and the moon; the clock dial and the surrounding decorative elements are combined, and a cultural blending charm is blown over the face. This harmonious atmosphere shows the feeling of the integration of Chinese and Western cultures. Moreover, this building also has the fusion of classical and modern elements, which really satisfies the aesthetics of people of all ages, and is really rich in meaning. It not only gives people the tension of modern race against time, but also gives people the soft and slow speed of classics. Time is really interesting. Around the dial we can see reliefs, which specifically show the story of the 12 constellations. The position of the constellations also represents certain meanings. For example, Aries and Libra represent twelve o'clock and six o'clock respectively, which show a strong Foreign culture. In addition, Century Clock also has high-tech working principles, which can only be understood by professional researchers. Therefore, tourists who want to know more about Century Clock can go to find relevant information and get a better understanding of Century Clock!
Finally we saw the luxurious building we imagined. Even though we had imagined its appearance countless times before we came, it was amazing to actually appear before our eyes. This is an iconic building that is luxurious yet solemn, timeless and elegant, and every bit of it is fascinating. Its clocks, gears, base and long rods are perfectly combined to give people a perfect visual feast. The century clock is right in front of us, and we can really see that the craftsmanship used in its reel core and hands are very delicate. This kind of hollow production instantly enhances the grade of the clock. Let's look at the relief of the 12 constellations here. The "sun" hung on the top, and the "moon" hung on the opposite bottom. They look like a letter "s" as a whole. These reliefs are all carved in bronze with a full sense of texture. We can also see heavy forged copper on the base, with many gears and chains for decoration, and some huge screws, creating a simple and elegant century style. The ancient Jiefang Bridge next to it echoes this building. It is quite charming.
The technology of Century Clock is the dial of the clock. This dial shape gives people a European style. It is made of stainless steel, so it has been preserved intact after so many years. Its cover is also very high-end, using a transparent sheet, this material is very thin, giving people a better visual experience. The Roman numerals on the dial are more refined, which can be picky both in terms of their own production and inlay technology. On the dial, we can also see the engraved "Tianjin" and other words, which have a very important commemorative significance. Here we feel the charm of high technology, which is also the symbol of Tianjin that represents the strength of China's science and technology. Going to the side, we can also see a large building-a long steel pole. It is about 34 meters high and its weight is not light. The technological elements contained in it are more abundant. It rotates three times a minute, and it has vigorous vitality as if it were alive. It runs with the clock and gives people a sense of harmony. I have to sigh how powerful the power of technology is.
The most beautiful time of the century clock is at night, because it also glows at night. We have learned about the architectural features and technological power in the middle of the century, and its luminous function is also unique. It is illuminated by internal lighting, so the dial can be clearly seen at night, and the entire system has an automatic adjustment function. The time of change is different every season or even every day. It really makes People admire. Eight star lights and 16 crystal lights are also installed around the current Century Clock. In addition, there is also a large speaker for the time signal, which is also the highest configuration. In order to ensure the high-level effect of Century Clock, we can see four different speakers at the end of it. Their effects and heights are different, and they play their own functions. This effect is more real and more textured. In fact, they are only used to play music, the hour after the music is played is the world's professional bells, presumably more advanced.
The Century Clock in Tianjin is like an old man in charge of time. It has accompanied Tianjin people countless days and nights through ups and downs, and reminds every dream chaser with its simple and mellow bell. Walking on the bright streets of Tianjin at night, looking up at the Century Clock in the dark night, it is like a bright light illuminating the road ahead for you.
