The fate of this great building is also ill-fated, and it has suffered several very serious damages in the history of inheritance.
In the first year of Tianshun in Ming Dynasty, its tower was severely struck by lightning, and a large part of it was burned down, but it did not attract people's attention at that time, and no one proposed to repair it. In this way, the first year of Chenghua was finally remembered and got a chance to rebuild. This time, it not only rebuilt the damaged part at that time, but also adjusted it on this basis, expanded its original building and formed the style of the palace.
Because this magnificent building has become bigger, it has changed its name. It is called "Tiananmen Square". This name has a beautiful meaning of "peace and prosperity is God's will"!

The Status Value of Tiananmen Square
The city gate is the place where emperors of Ming and Qing dynasties issued imperial edicts. Tian 'anmen Square, known as the "imperial edict issued by golden phoenix", should be open to the public during the new emperor's accession to the throne, weddings, and the emperor's parents' entry into the palace. Only when offering sacrifices to heaven, earth and grain every year can you enter and leave through this door.
In addition, important ceremonies such as the emperor's wedding, the flag laying when the general went out to war, the road laying when the royal family marched, and the autumn trial of the punishments were also held here. At the same time, it is also the place of the biography of the golden palace.
The Tiananmen Gate Tower is a rare masterpiece in ancient architecture with its steady appearance and beautiful curves. Its ingenious structural layout and exquisite construction technology have condensed the wisdom and great creation of the working people in China for thousands of years, and concentrated on their superb architectural level and artistic expression.
It is not only a brilliant masterpiece in the history of ancient palace architecture in China, but also a symbol of the long history of Chinese civilization.
After 1949, Tiananmen Square became the symbol of modern China and was designed as the national emblem. Tiananmen Square, with its heavy historical connotation of more than 500 years, highly condenses China's ancient civilization and modern civilization. It is also a symbol of the new China and an unparalleled political concern and yearning, and has become a place that people of all ethnic groups in the world and China yearn for.
