As a city with a long history, Beijing has witnessed many changes. The city also retains many famous buildings. As the capital of China, Beijing is developing at a remarkable speed. Among the many places of interest in Beijing, the Forbidden City is what we want to describe in detail today. No matter the older generation or the young people now, they are no strangers to the Forbidden City.
In hundreds of years of feudal etiquette in China, the royal family has always been relatively perfect in maintaining the dignity of the royal family. Whether from the system or from the architecture, it embodies the supremacy of imperial power. In order to satisfy their extravagant desires, they often spare no effort to build some particularly grand and complex buildings. For example, Epang Palace in Qin Dynasty, from the magnificent and ethereal description in Epang Palace Fu, we can see the grandeur of Epang Palace. But because of a war, this splendid palace disappeared completely. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Forbidden City, fortunately preserved as a royal palace, appeared in front of modern people and let them know the wisdom and intelligence of the ancients.
As the original name of the Forbidden City, the Forbidden City has gone through more than 500 years in Beijing, which has changed the changes and joys and sorrows of the world and witnessed the growth of dozens of emperors. It is precisely because of the historical accumulation of the Forbidden City itself that it is full of mysterious colors.
In ancient times, due to the underdevelopment of science and technology, most people believed in God and paid attention to Feng Shui. Especially the imperial family, we should pay attention to good luck in all aspects. It is precisely because of this that any building in the Forbidden City is of great consideration value. The rigid belief in rules, even if it is troublesome, the ruler will still establish it intact. However, among many well-behaved buildings, one building is particularly special, and that is the Donghuamen of the Forbidden City.
The Qing royal family can learn from modern film and television dramas to protect their rights, and a little carelessness may cost them their lives. In order to show the royal dignity, the gates of the Forbidden City are inlaid with rivets, all of which are made of gold. Moreover, the arrangement order is also very particular. In order to maximize the performance of masculinity, the horizontal and vertical numbers are used for arrangement. Because the number nine is the largest positive number and the most positive. Following this principle, all the doors of the Forbidden City are designed and built in this way. But Donghuamen is only one row away, and even experts in the Forbidden City can't give a very definite answer.
There are only a few sayings circulating. Some people say that it is because the position of Donghuamen is closer to the East Palace, and the position of the son cannot be larger than that of the father, so a row of rivets is reduced in the middle. There is also a saying that Donghuamen is also called "the gate of hell", because empresses and emperors of all dynasties have to go out from this gate, and the number of rivets on the door must follow the number of yin. However, such an idea is only people's guess after all, and it has not been confirmed by historians. So why Donghuamen is so special, there is no accurate answer.

The Forbidden City contains many cultures, and China has been a relatively subtle country since ancient times. This implicit feeling is not only expressed in words, but also in architecture. The Forbidden City, as the essence of China's cultural architecture, is rich in cultural heritage and worth studying. This requires us to actively spread and carry forward our own culture and study traditional cultural knowledge hard in order to understand the mysterious charm contained in ancient buildings.
