What is history? Maybe you will say that history is the evolution of dynasties, the passage of time, one fierce war after another ... However, history is not complicated. In the Forbidden City, I saw a sad history.
Looking at the spacious palace square, exquisite and colorful small stone bridges and endless blue sky, I not only sigh: Is this a beautiful palace? What an atmosphere! But why did the China government at that time lack such heroism and extravagance? How can it be so corrupt? There are thrilling scenes in my mind: the British and French allied forces burned Yuanmingyuan, the Sino-Japanese War, the Opium War ... I sighed deeply when I thought of this.
Walking into the depths of the Forbidden City, rows of palaces immediately appeared in front of us: wooden windows, gorgeous interiors, the threshold that modern people seem to set too high, and everything reveals tranquility. My thoughts were suddenly pulled back to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was bumpy, but it was not chaotic at all. It is beautifully and smoothly integrated into a delicate and gorgeous movement. It seems that there will always be a thousand years of singing and smiling, charming Chen Jiao, and the generation of passion, as if there is always endless energy. How many times can the world watch this scene? In the Tang dynasty, it was even more magnificent and faintly revealed.
Further inside, you will reach the main hall of the emperor. I can't help but be surprised: is this the emperor's seat? Why is it so far from what I expected? Zhang Long sitting alone in a chair, standing alone in the middle of the hall, isn't it too sad? Are this antique dragon chair and this bronze tripod full of traces the parts that make up China? I seem to see the emperor sitting in front of me. When the palace was crowing and dancing, when officials in the DPRK and China only cared about drinking and having fun, and when thick memorials piled up, who ever thought about how ordinary people were bullied! People in the palace were so ignorant at that time! ! Time seems to be passing, and the voice of "Long live the emperor" rings in my ears again, like floating in the vast and deep sky, and it seems to be gradually empty. Looking at everything in front of me, I seem to suddenly realize: isn't history here?
Yes, history is hidden in dragon chairs, bronze ding and painted doorposts. I saw the history, I felt the history!
In my opinion, it's just a dynasty, and for a period of time, it doesn't mean anything. This is just a microcosm of history. History is endless, created by later generations. Today, thousands of days have disappeared silently in the long river of years and rolled away. History always urges us to create history and strive for progress.
