One-day tour route of the Forbidden City: Wumen-Wuying Hall-Shenwumen.
1, meridian gate
The meridian gate is the main entrance of the Forbidden City in Beijing, which is concave in plan, consistent with the meridian gate of the Forbidden City in Nanjing, and located on the north-south axis of the Forbidden City, with a total height of 37.95 meters.
It was built in the 18th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (1420), rebuilt in the 4th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1647) and rebuilt in the 6th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (180 1). The meridian gate is located in the center of the sun, on the meridian, hence the name. The front is Duanmen, Tiananmen Square (the main entrance of the Imperial City, Daqingmen; There is Taihe Gate in the back. Wumen Tower was also called Wufeng Tower in Ming Dynasty.
2. Wu Yingtang
Wuying Hall is located outside the Forbidden City in Beijing, west of Chaoxihe Gate. The main hall, Wuying Hall, faces south, with five rooms wide and three rooms deep, with yellow glazed tiles resting on the top of the mountain. Sumitomo was surrounded by a white marble fence. When he left the stage, there was a permanent road leading to Wuyingmen.
The shape of Jingsi Hall in the back hall is similar to that of Wuying Hall, and the front and back halls are connected by cloisters. The east and west halls are Ningdao Hall and Zhanghuan Hall respectively, with 63 corridors on the left and right. There is Hengshouzhai in the northeast and Yudetang in the northwest. Wuying Hall corresponds to Wenhua Hall, which is located in the east of the outer court, that is, one article and one martial arts.
3. Shenwumen
Shenwumen is the north gate of the Forbidden City. Built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420), it was originally named Xuanwu Gate, and it was renamed Shenwumen to avoid the name of Emperor Kangxi Michelle Ye. Xuanwu is one of the four ancient beasts. From the azimuth, Zuo Qinglong, You Baihu, Qiansuzaku, Houxuanwu and Xuanwu dominate the north, so the North Palace Gate of the Forbidden City is named "Xuanwu".
Road map and explanation of one-day tour of the Forbidden City
The road map and explanation of the one-day tour of the Forbidden City are as follows:
Road Map: Wumen-Wuying Hall (Painting and Calligraphy Hall-Wenhua Hall (Ceramic Hall-Taihe Gate-Taihe Hall-Zhonghe Hall-Baohe Hall-Gan Qing Palace-Jiaotai Hall-Kunning Palace-hall of mental cultivation-Xiliu Work Area-Royal Garden-Dongliugong Area-Fengxian Hall)
Commentary: Today, I will show you around the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City, also known as the Forbidden City, is located in the center of Beijing. The palace covers an area of more than 720,000 square meters and has more than 9,900 pavilions. It was the residence of emperors in Ming and Qing dynasties. There are gates around the city, noon gate in the south, Shenwu gate in the north, Donghua gate in the east and Xihua gate in the west.
It is said that about 230,000 famous craftsmen and 1 10,000 civilian workers were assembled to build the Forbidden City, from which we can know how big and spectacular it is. The whole courtyard of the Forbidden City is divided into two parts, namely "front yard" and "back bedroom". The former dynasty was the place where emperors held ceremonies, mainly including the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Zhonghe, the Hall of Baohe, and the Wenhua Hall and Wuying Hall on the east and west sides.
"Houdian" is the place where emperors, empresses and minor children live, mainly in Gan Qing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Kunning Palace and the Sixth East-West Palace. Look, this building is the Wumen Gate, also called Wufeng Building. In the Ming dynasty, lanterns were hung at the gate at noon on the fifteenth day of the first month every year to deliver meals to officials.
In the Qing Dynasty, this activity was cancelled. In addition, whenever the country wins in the war, the emperor will accept the ceremony of offering prisoners here, and the emperor will drive away from noon. The idea of "beheading in the afternoon" on the stage of national drama is actually that the Ming court ordered officials to commit crimes at the meridian gate. All right, let's move on.
Now we come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in Guangchang. This is a bronze censer. There are 65,438+08 here, representing 65,438+08 leftovers of the Qing Dynasty. There is a bronze crane and turtle on each side, which is a symbol of longevity. Look, now in front of us is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the tallest building in the Forbidden City. It is only used when the emperor holds a ceremony, symbolizing the supremacy of imperial power.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony, commonly known as the Golden Throne Hall, has 12 columns on the front, which is about 63 meters long from east to west and 35 meters high. The whole hall is carved with beams and painted with buildings, and the dragon surrounds the red column. These dragons have different postures and are vividly portrayed. The whole palace is also very luxurious and rich. There is a 2-meter-high platform with nine golden dragon thrones carved on it. There is a golden paint screen in the back and a royal case in the front.
The top of the temple is the top-grade double-eaved roof, and even the kissing beast on the main ridge of the temple is the largest in China at present, showing "the first" everywhere. After seeing the Hall of Supreme Harmony, let's see the Hall of Supreme Harmony again. Please have a look! Zhonghe Hall is the place where the emperor waits for auspicious time and takes a short rest before the ceremony. Next, please join me in visiting the state banquet hall at that time-Baohe Hall.
Dear friends, this hall is the last of the three halls in the Palace Museum, and it is called Baohe Hall. This hall was called State Banquet Hall and Imperial Examination Hall in Qing Dynasty. Now we come to Gan Qing Palace, where the emperor lived and handled daily political affairs in the Forbidden City. Clean officials are divided into three parts: the central hall, the East Warm Pavilion and the West Warm Pavilion.
The main hall is the place where the emperor handles daily affairs and meets ministers temporarily. There is an emperor's throne and imperial case in the hall, with a plaque of "Fair and Bright" hanging in the middle, which is the ancestral instruction of the Qing emperor and serves as the basic criterion for governing the country, cultivating oneself and leveling the world.
Dongnuange and Xinuange are the places where the emperor stayed at night. Because of the time, let's stop here first. Give you two hours to visit freely. In order to protect the cultural heritage, please don't scribble on the wall. I hope you have a good time.
How to plan the route for a one-day tour of the Forbidden City?
Some people say that the Forbidden City is endless for three days and three nights. Although there is not much time in a day, there is still plenty of time for targeted browsing. Personally, I suggest going to visit the Wumen Gate. Three museums must be visited, and one of the other three museums should be selected (Shenwumen is recommended, and some museums should be selected for their own enjoyment). Here, I strongly recommend two routes:
1. Take the road of emperors again _ (This is the only way for emperors.
Wumen _→ Three Great Halls _ (Taihe Hall, Zhonghe Hall, Baohe Hall → Forbidden City _ (Gan Qing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Ganning Palace → Royal Garden → Shenwumen _)
2. Explore the history of the Forbidden City _ (What? I heard there was gossip here.
Wumen _→ Three Great Halls _ (Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Zhonghe, Hall of Baohe → Forbidden City _ (Gan Qing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Ganning Palace, Chenggan Palace, Yonghe Palace, Ren Jing Palace → Guandian).
