Shenzhou Central Square

Shenzhou Central Square

The central sculpture area around the totem pole consists of three tiers of stone rings, exuding a magnificent and distinctive presence: the first tier showcases the Four Symbols signifying the four seasons—the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—along with a sundial representing the 24 solar terms; the second tier depicts eight ancient legends: Pangu Creating the World, Nüwa Repairing the Heavens, Chang’e Flying to the Moon, Gonggong Wielding Axes in Dance, Yu the Great Controlling the Floods, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Houyi Shooting the Suns, and Kuafu Chasing the Sun; the third tier reflects celestial bodies, humans, animals, plants, all living things, as well as eight ancient Chinese deities. The totem pole and the sculpture group form a unified whole, embodying a profound sense of ancient Chinese astronomy and an air of Eastern mystique. Surrounding the square, five sets of white sail-shaped pointed tents and a large colorful fountain add a modern touch to the sculptures rich in ancient cultural significance.
