1420, the Forbidden City was built. In A.D. 142 1 year, Judy received a huge pilgrimage in Fengtian Temple, and the emperor issued a letter to reduce the taxes of soldiers and migrant workers and grant amnesty to prisoners who built palaces all over the world. The construction of the Forbidden City highlights the principle of the supremacy of imperial power. The palaces on both sides are symmetrical according to the central axis, and the whole Forbidden City is square, which highlights the orthodox status of the royal family. Every palace is yellow tile, showing royal dignity; Nine beasts crouched on the eaves of the palace, representing the same life as heaven. There is a special case here, that is, there is an extra god beast in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and this extra one is called Shi Hang; The Forbidden City is divided into inner city and outer city. In the 19th year of Yongle, the three halls were destroyed by fire, and they were restored only after Renzong, Xuanzong and Yingzong dynasties. Now, in April 2005, the renovation of the Forbidden City will last 19 years. After the demise of the Ming dynasty, the palace of the former dynasty, as the capital of the Qing dynasty, was not used before and after the Qing dynasty, and the Forbidden City has been preserved to this day.
The Forbidden City witnessed the nearly 200-year history of China, the rise and fall of two dynasties, the last feudal prosperity of China and the humiliation suffered by China in modern times. Today's Forbidden City, like a kind scholar, is full of vicissitudes but full of vitality, leaving people with too much inspiration.
My eternal city of mind!
