First of all, the first three halls
1, Hall of Supreme Harmony
The Hall of Supreme Harmony stands in the center of the Forbidden City, and the meridian of the central axis of the capital rises to three stops along the Royal Avenue of Dragon Stone Carving, passing under the emperor's throne. Every time a ceremony is held, bells and drums are ringing, rituals and music are played together, and the emperor's palace rises to the throne, reigning in the world and accepting the congratulations of princes and ministers, which shows its dignity and majesty.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the largest hall in the Forbidden City, and the highest-standard ancient palace building in China. The hall is decorated with more than a thousand golden dragon patterns inside and outside, and ten spine beasts are installed in the corner, which is the only example in the existing ancient buildings.
2. Zhonghetang
Zhonghe Hall is located between Taihe Hall and Baohe Hall, which seems to be a corridor in the middle of the ancient distinguished I-shaped hall. Founded in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty (65438+early 5th century), it was originally named Gaihuatang and rebuilt after several disasters. After Jiajing was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, it was renamed Zhongjitang. After the emperor shunzhi entered the Forbidden City in the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed Zhonghetang, which meant to stick to the golden mean and seek harmony in the world.
The shapes of the four doors and windows of Zhonghe Temple are taken from the ancient "Tang Ming". Before the ceremony was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the emperor took a short rest here and accepted the worship of the deacons. Or, before the big gifts such as the pro-sacrifice, review the preparations such as congratulatory messages and playing books here.
3. Baohe Hall
Baohe Hall is the third hall on three platforms. It was finally named Baohe Hall in Qing Dynasty, which means to keep a pure mind and enjoy the harmony of the world. In the Ming Dynasty, before the court ceremony, the emperor rose from Gan Qing Palace to this temple to change clothes. In the early Qing Dynasty, before the restoration of the last Miyako, both the emperor shunzhi and Emperor Kangxi lived here, and the emperor shunzhi's wedding was also held here.
Second, the last three palaces
Gan Qing Palace 1
Gan Qing Gate is the courtyard of Gan Qing Palace, the first courtyard in the post-Migong District, and the main sleeping place for the emperor. On the east and west sides of Gan Qing Palace are Zhao Renhe and Hongde. Around the courtyard of Gan Qing Palace, there are various institutions that manage royal meals, tea, medicines, clothes and stationery. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty also set up a study room for the Prince Class here.
2. Jiaotai Hall
Jiaotai Hall is a place to celebrate Queen's Day. In the Qing Dynasty, 25 precious seals were kept in this temple. In the first month of each year, the Qin dynasty chose an auspicious day to set up a case to open Chen Bao, where the emperor came to burn incense and salute. The iron sign of "Inner Palace does not interfere in political affairs" set by the Qing Sai-zu once stood here. When the emperor got married, the queen's book and the security guard set up a case in the temple.
3. Kunning Palace
After the reconstruction, Kunning Palace became the main place for shaman sacrifice in Qing Dynasty, and the status of the palace remained unchanged. In the fourth year of Kangxi (1665), Michelle Ye got married, and the Queen Mother appointed the wedding to be held in the Palace of Kunning. The wedding of Emperor Tongzhi and Emperor Guangxu, and the wedding of Puyi were also held in Kunning Palace.
