Palace buildings are all wooden structures, with yellow glazed tile roofs and blue and white stone bases. So there are four doors in the Forbidden City, the main entrance is named Wumen, the east entrance is named Donghuamen, the west entrance is named Xihuamen, and the north entrance is named Shenwumen.
Facing the Shenwumen in the north gate, Jingshan, made of earth and stone, is full of pines and cypresses. In the overall layout, Jingshan can be said to be the barrier of the Forbidden City complex. The Forbidden City is called the first of the five largest palaces in the world.
After the completion of the Forbidden City, it experienced the Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the 500 years when the Qing emperor abdicated in19/2, it experienced 25 emperors who owned or owned the temple name posthumous title in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is synonymous with the highest ruling core of Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The Forbidden City was called "Forbidden City" after 1925. With the decline of the Qing Dynasty, especially in the 38 years before 1949, the buildings of the Forbidden City became increasingly dilapidated and many palaces collapsed. On the eve of the full-scale outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
1933, in order to protect its cultural relics from war damage or Japanese imperialist plunder, the Palace Museum decided to adopt the policy of moving cultural relics south to avoid the enemy, set up a cultural relics warehouse in Nanjing, and set up a branch of the Palace Museum in Nanjing.
1987, the Forbidden City in Beijing was listed as a world cultural heritage, and the 9,000 buildings in the Forbidden City in Beijing became priceless historical proof of China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Extended data:
The Forbidden City has become a world cultural heritage, which has deepened people's understanding of the value of the ancient buildings in the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City represents a culture that has become history, and it has the shell of palace culture. At the same time, it represented the mainstream culture at that time. After a long period of historical screening and accumulation, of course, it can not be simply summarized as "feudal backwardness."
The Forbidden City and the museum are not unrelated and antagonistic, but organically unified and complementary. Taken together, it can be seen that the Palace Museum is one of the few museums and cultural heritage in the world with the characteristics of art museum, architecture museum, history museum and palace culture museum, which conforms to the internationally recognized basic principles of "original site protection" and "original appearance display".
The Jinshui River in the Forbidden City was set up according to the ancient legend that "Jinshui River was built in the Imperial Palace, which means Tianhe and Han Yin, and it has existed since the week". The river flows from Jinfang (west) to Xun (southeast) and flows through half of the Forbidden City. This river, which was set up according to the ancient system and has a specified flow direction, has many functions.
It is not only a major water source in Miyagi, but also the largest canal in Miyagi. The water from Jinshui River is used for fire fighting and construction projects. All the north-south and east-west sewers are located on the banks of the river, which also adds elegance to the landscape of Miyagi. Jinshui River will flow through the third palace of the outer court, focusing on the wide court in Taihe Gate.
In order to express the characteristics of rivers, curves are used instead of straight lines, and in order to coordinate with regular environment, several symmetrical arcs are used instead of natural curves. There are five bridges in the middle of the river, and the front ends of the bridges are not in a straight line with the bend of the river. The bridge in the middle is dedicated to the passage of the emperor, with a protruding front and two sides for civil and military officials, and then retreat in turn.
The emperor walked through the stone fence of the bridge and looked at the stigma engraved with the design of Long Yun. Officials walked through the railing of the bridge and looked at the stigma engraved with twenty-four gases. The river is wide in the middle and gradually narrows at both ends. Because both ends have to pass through the east-west building underground, which is beneficial to construction and has also changed. The treatment form of Jinshui River in front of Wuying Hall is different from that in front of Taihe Hall. Because Wuying Hall is lower than Taihe Hall, only three bridges have been built.
When approaching Wenhua Hall, Jinshui River turns to the north, passes through the west side of Wenhua Hall, passes underground in front of Wen Yuan Pavilion, and then reappears before Dongsan. Bend straight all the way, reciprocating, sometimes on the ground, sometimes underground, there are many bridges on the river, and the artistic effect is rich!
