1, Introduction of Saigon Hospital
The Gong Yuan system first began in the Tang Dynasty. There are Jiangnan Gongyuan, Beijing Gong Yuan, Dingzhou Gong Yuan, North Sichuan Gong Yuan and other places, among which Nanjing Jiangnan Gongyuan is the most famous as the largest imperial examination room in ancient China.
The Palace Garden in Beijing was built in the 13th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. It has five gates and is called "Longmen", which means carp yue longmen. There are horizontal plaques on the middle three doors, with the middle title "opening the sky and moire", the east title "learning from the scriptures" and the west title "seeking talents for the country" There are mainly buildings along Gong Yuan Middle Road, such as Mingyuan Building, Court, Jukui Pavilion and Huijingtang.
2. Structure of Hiram Hospital
Historically, the gate of Gongyuan in the south of the Yangtze River was a round gate with three gaps, a wooden structure and a pedestrian passage, and both sides were usually closed. The front door is five rooms in size, and in the middle of the door is the black word "Gong Yuan" inscribed by Zhu Bian. The left forehead "opens the door" and the right forehead "Xu Jun". A pair of stone lions in front of the door, with archways on both sides, wrote: "Learn from the scriptures" and "Seek the sages for the country".
Jiangnan Gongyuan, the largest imperial examination room in China, was once "overwhelmed" by too many candidates. It has expanded several times in history, and its center of gravity gradually moved eastward, eventually forming an irregular sector, which was restricted by Qinhuai River, Confucius Temple and Gong Xue. This shape is unique in many Hiram hospitals.
In Qing Dynasty, there were 18 courtyards, all of which were regular rectangles or squares except Jiangnan Courtyard. Therefore, many people misunderstand that Jiangnan Gongyuan has always been square. This was true before the end of the Qing Dynasty, but with more and more candidates, Jiangnan Palace Garden continued to expand, forming an irregular plate.
