介绍恩平大钟楼
一起来看看👇
The Big Bell Tower in Enping
The Big Bell Tower in Enping was founded in 1930 (the 19th year of the period of the Republic of China). It has a history of more than 90 years until now.At the very beginning, it was constructed as the county's public library. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it successively functioned as the office building of the county's Party Committee, Armed Forces Department as well as the museum of Enping city. In 2012, the People's Government of Guangdong Province declared it as one of the 7th batch of the cultural relics protection units in Guangdong.Sitting north to south, the Big Bell Tower has a unique architectural style that combines the east and the west. It shapes like the Chinese character "凸". Because of the big bell on its roof, people entitled it as the "Big Bell Tower".The building was carved with four big Chinese characters which not only means you can embrace the entire beauty of the Enping city when standing on the top of it, but also inspires people to look far, aim high and think as a whole.The Big Bell Tower is a precious cultural relic of Enping city. It's also a vivid embodiment of Enping people's passion for learning as well as their pursuit of progress. May this precious cultural heritage and the spirit of studiousness and ambitiousness be passed on and carried forward in Enping generations after generations.
恩平大钟楼始建于1930年（中华民国19年），至今已有90多年历史。
建成之初，用作恩平县公立图书馆。中华人民共和国成立之后，它先后用作县委办公室、武装部办公用房以及恩平市博物馆。
2012年广东省人民政府公布其为广东省第七批文物保护单位。
坐北朝南，大钟楼拥有中西合璧的独特建筑风格。它形如中国文字“凸”，因楼顶装有一个大钟，人们称之为“大钟楼”。
大钟楼上塑了“高瞻远瞩”四个大字，其含意不止于在此登高可远眺恩平风光，还勉励人们要眼光、远大顾全大局。
大钟楼是恩平一份珍贵的文化遗产，也是恩平人热爱读书以及追求进步的生动体现。但愿这份珍贵的文化遗产和好学上进的精神，能够在恩平代代传承、发扬光大。
