Hello and welcome to visit the Forbidden City, the largest palace complexin China this afternoon. My name is he Chaozhen. Today I will accompany you onyour wonderful journey this afternoon. The Palace Museum is located in thecenter of Beijing, formerly known as the Forbidden City. It is the imperialpalace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, an unparalleled masterpiece of ancientarchitecture, and the largest and most complete existing ancient architecturalcomplex in the world. Known as the top of the five palaces in the world. ThePalace Museum was built in 1406 AD and completed in 1420. It was first built byMing Emperor Zhu Di.
The Palace Museum is 961 meters long from north to South and 753 meterswide from east to west, covering an area of 723600 square meters. The buildingarea is 155000 square meters. It is said that the Palace Museum has a total of9999.5 rooms. Actually, according to 1973 experts' field measurement, the PalaceMuseum has more than 90 courtyards and 980 houses, totaling 8707 rooms. Thepalace city is surrounded by a 12 meter high and 3400 meter long palace wall inthe form of a rectangular City, surrounded by a 52 meter wide moat, forming afortress with strict barriers.
The Palace Museum has four gates, the main gate is called Meridian Gate,the east gate is called Donghua gate, the west gate is called Xihua gate, andthe north gate is called Shenwu gate. Attention, we are now in the northernmostpart of the Forbidden City, Shenwu gate. Walking into Shenwu gate and passingthrough shunzhen gate, we are faced with a large mural, which is the archwaygate surrounded by Jifu gate, Yanhe gate and Chengguang gate. Behind it, thatis, to the south, is our famous imperial garden.
Yongle in the Ming Dynasty 15 years (1417) began to build, completed in 18years, known as the "palace after the court.". Qing Dynasty Yongzheng Dynasty,known as the "royal garden.". It is located at the north end of the central axisof the Forbidden City. The garden wall is 135 meters wide from east to west and89 meters deep from north to south, covering an area of 12015 square meters. Thebuildings in the park adopt the layout of central axis symmetry. The buildingsalong the East and West roads are basically symmetrical. Most of the buildingsin the park are built against the wall, and only a few exquisite pavilions standin the park, so the space is comfortable and wide.
The park is full of ancient cypress and old locust trees, with a list ofstone and jade seats, bronze statues of Jinlin and potted flower stake scenery,which adds to the changes of the scene in the park and enriches the level of thelandscape. The colorful pebbles on the ground of the royal garden are also verypeculiar. They can be inlaid into symbolic patterns of fortune, fortune andlongevity. There are more than ten LIANLI trees in the Royal Garden, most ofwhich are cultivated by pine and cypress. In tianyimen, there is one of the mostfamous LIANLI trees in the garden. The trunk of the tree is connected by twocypress trees, which grow very thick and luxuriant.
There is also a legend about LIANLI tree. It is said that during theWarring States period, King Kang of the Song Dynasty took Han Ping's wife he'sfamily as his concubine, and forced Han Ping to build Qingling terrace. Afterthe terrace was built, King Kang killed Han Ping. He was in agony at the news.When attending Han Ping's funeral, she jumped into the grave and died.
Out of jealousy and malice, the cruel king of Kang buried the corpses ofHan Ping and his husband and wife on the left and right sides of Qinglingterrace, not allowing them to be buried together. But the next year, on thetombs of Han Ping and he Shi, two towering trees grew slowly. The middle part ofthe trunk was close together and tightly connected. So later generations callthis kind of tree "LIANLI tree", which means the pure love between husband andwife. OK, let's go on. Ahead is Kunning palace.
It used to be the Queen's bedroom. In the Qing Dynasty, it was changed to aplace for worshiping gods and marrying the emperor.
Look, on the left side of Kunning palace, there is a stone like pancakewith a needle on it. This is the sundial, which is the ancient clock. Itsprinciple is to distinguish time by the shadow of the sun shining on the needle.Further north, there are Jiaotai palace and Qianqing palace, which together withKunning palace just passing by are called "the three rear palaces". Around theQianqing palace, through the Qianqing gate, is a large central square. It's likea dividing line, dividing the Forbidden City into two parts.
If you are tired, you can have a rest on the chairs around the square. Bythe way, do you remember that there are many bronze VATS along the way. Do youknow what they are for? (interaction) according to research, the buildings inthe Palace Museum are all brick and wood structures, which are easy to catchfire. Once a fire breaks out, if it can't be put out in time, it will spreadquickly, and turn this valuable and splendid building into nothing in aninstant.
For this reason, the builders of the Forbidden City pay special attentionto fire prevention, and set up these VATS in front of the palace, which arecalled "Menhai". Menhai is the "sea" in front of the gate. With the "sea" infront of the gate, the palace museum with brick and wood structure is not afraidof fire. Therefore, these vats are also called auspicious vats.
It is conceivable that our ancestors were very clever. Have you had a rest?Let's move on. This is the most famous and magnificent "three halls" of theForbidden City: Taihe hall, Zhonghe hall and Baohe hall. Because we are goingfrom south to north, we see Baohe hall and Zhonghe hall first. Up to now, thesurrounding area is much wider than just now, which also shows the gap betweenthe "front three halls" and "back three halls" of Bauhinia city. We shouldobserve the details of everything. Let's take a look at the steps on the sole ofour feet. They are made of marble, and their patterns are very beautiful.
These patterns are mainly auspicious clouds, surrounded by a few dragons.Their appearance is vivid and lifelike, which fully reflects the wisdom of theancient working people of our country.
