The Forbidden City, formerly known as the Forbidden City, was the imperial palace of China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was built in the 4th year of Yongle (1606) to the 6th year of Yongle (1420). It has experienced nearly 600 years of changes in Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, Republic of China and New China. The Forbidden City is an important epitome of China's tourism culture and is known as the first of the five largest palaces in the world. Tens of millions of people visit the Forbidden City every year on average, so many people may have doubts. After so many years, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, we used modern building technology to repair and expand. Today, An Song will tell you something.

At first, the Forbidden City was 720,000 square meters, 1.087 mu, with a construction area of about 6.5438+0.7 million square meters. Hundreds of years later, there were 6.5438+0.5 million square meters of buildings. Although the Ming and Qing Dynasties experienced constant maintenance, reconstruction, transformation and expansion, the basic framework of the Forbidden City was still built during the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty and Zhu He.

Generally speaking, the Forbidden City has not changed as a whole, but great changes have taken place inside. 1420 After the completion of the Forbidden City in the Ming Dynasty, the three halls were destroyed by fire the following year. After the restoration, it was burned again during the Jiajing period of Sejong in the Ming Dynasty. Ming Xin's third fire in his later years destroyed three wars, and Ming Xi was restored in the apocalypse. In 276 of the Ming Dynasty, archery in the Third World War was burned and rebuilt again and again.

Attention.

In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor in the Forbidden City. When he hurried back to Beijing, he burned down the three halls of the Forbidden City, which were renovated after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. Although it is said to be Qingming, the Qing Dynasty was founded by Manchu ethnic minorities, so the renovation of the Forbidden City during the Qing Dynasty was Manchu-style. Judging from the building materials, the Ming Dynasty started from the south and liked to use nanmu, so nanmu was used in the Forbidden City from the beginning.

The Qing dynasty began in the northeast, preferring things like pine trees and fir trees outside the customs. In addition, by the Ming Dynasty, there were few trees left in the early Qing Dynasty.
