3D Model

Wuyang Que, unearthed from Jiangjun village in Zhongxian County, dates to the Han-Wei Dynasties (65-265 AD). Made of sandstone, this que stands 5.4m high and 1.7m deep, and was excavated in 2001 during the Three Gorges Culture Heritage Preservation Program. After restoration, it showcases dual-eaves, a hip roof top and double tiers, composed of ridge decoration covering the upper tier, fat stone elements in the lower tier, main body and base. Its distinctive features include wide eaves, broad main body and simple structure, giving it a straight and majestic appearance. The Green Dragon and White Tiger engravings on its body demonstrate the sophisticated sculpture arts of the Han Dynasty, making Wuyang Que a valuable cultural heritage for architectural research of the period.

乌杨阙出土于忠县将军村，属汉魏时期（公元65-265年）文物。乌杨阙石质砂岩，主阙通高5.4米，进深1.7米，于2001年在三峡文物保护抢救工作中发掘出土。复原后的乌杨阙为双阙式，上下两层，由帽檐、阙顶盖、上坊子层、叠石层、下坊子层和主阙体七部分构成。它具有顶盖出檐宽、阙体收分大、构造简洁的特点，因而显得造型挺拔稳健。乌杨阙上雕刻有青龙、白虎等图案，展现了汉代雕刻艺术神韵，是研究汉代建筑的珍贵文化遗产。
