Beijing's architectural style is a fusion of astronomy and folklore. During the construction of the Forbidden City, a north-south central axis was highlighted. All the important buildings in the Palace were on this central axis, and other buildings were symmetrically distributed on the east and west sides. The architecture of the Forbidden City is divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court. The part from the Wumen Gate to the Gan Qing Gate is divided into "Outer Courtyard", with the three halls of Ethereum, Zhonghe and Baohe as the center, and the two groups of palaces of Wenhua and Wuying on the east and west sides, which are symmetrical left and right, forming a magnificent "Outer Courtyard" pattern. The three halls are arranged on the same huge and symmetrical I-shaped white marble foundation. Inside the Gan Qing Gate is the "Palace", and the architectural layout is also symmetrical. The central part is Gan Qing Palace, Jiaotai Palace and Kunning Palace, where feudal emperors lived and handled their daily affairs. On both sides, the Sixth East-West Palace is the residence of concubines, and the First East-West Palace is the residence of the Prince. There are also three royal gardens-Royal Garden, Cining Garden and Qianlong Garden. Neijinshui River winds around Wuying Hall, Taihe Gate and Wenhua Hall along the west side of the "inner courtyard" and flows out of the palace. There are white jade stone bridges on the river, and there are winding white jade carved railings on both sides of the river, which are shaped like jade belts. Most of the buildings in the Forbidden City are topped with yellow glazed tiles, which are resplendent and solemn in the sun. The architecture of the Forbidden City not only highlights the central axis, but also uses various techniques to make each group of buildings in Miyagi unique. For example, the treatment of the temple foundation, the form of the temple roof, the number of kissing animals and hanging animals, the rules of painted patterns and so on. This not only makes the main buildings more tall and spectacular, but also shows the grade difference of the palace buildings. Agree 0| Comment

Why is the Forbidden City a symmetrical figure?

The whole building complex of Gan Qing Palace is located on the central axis and consists of six gates and three palaces, namely Gan Qing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Kunning Palace, Gan Qing Gate, Kunning Gate, Rijing Gate, Yuehua Gate, Long Fu Gate and Jinghe Gate. These buildings form a closed space, commonly known as the "harem". The naming of the whole building complex is like a process of the formation of the universe. The sky is the sun and the Kun is the earth. What is implied is the idea of "Yin and Yang of heaven and earth". In the layout of the last three palaces, Gan Qing Palace is located in the south, Kunning Palace is located in the north, and Jiaotai Hall is in between, which is a place to communicate with heaven and earth and conforms to the principle of "heaven and earth are interlinked". According to the theory of geomantic omen, what is done for the sky is Yang, and what is done for the earth is Yin. The place where heaven and earth communicate is the place where Yin and Yang meet, but it is not as simple as imagined. Among the three halls of the former dynasty and the three palaces of the later dynasty, only the Jiaotai Hall and the Taihe Hall are hung with Xuanyuan mirrors. What does this mean? In front of the Jiaotai Hall, there is a clean palace representing the sky (Yang), followed by the Kunning Palace representing the earth (Yin). Jiaotai Hall refers to the intersection of heaven (dry) and earth (Kun) here, which makes heaven and earth peaceful, and refers to Clean Palace and Kunning Palace. The Xuanyuan mirror hanging in Jiaotai Hall symbolizes the intersection of heaven and earth. The meanings of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Zhonghe and the Hall of Baohe come from the cloud in the Book of Changes: "The road changes, and each lives his own life. It is good to keep security and harmony. " The meaning of "Taihe" was interpreted by Zhu as: "Dahe (Taihe) is also the intersection of Yin and Yang." Therefore, both Jiaotai Hall and Taihe Hall are hung with Xuanyuan mirrors, symbolizing the harmony of Yin and Yang, which means that Yin and Yang meet. Jiaotai Hall implies the meaning of "copulation", and the main purpose of acupoints is to know that acupoints are places where yin and yang copulate, because only in this way can there be life. There are two meanings: one is sexual intercourse between men and women, and the other is sexual intercourse between heaven and earth. "Yi" says that line is the father of heaven and Kun is the mother of the earth, so "making love" means the intersection of yin and yang of heaven and earth, and everything becomes alcohol, such as copulation between men and women. Jiaotai Hall was built between Gan Qing Palace and Kunning Palace. Its function is to provide a place for the emperor and the queen to have intercourse, and to undertake the responsibility of carrying on the family line. It not only symbolizes the intercourse of yin and yang between heaven and earth, but also refers to the intercourse between men and women, namely the emperor and queen. This idea is the philosophical thought that heaven and earth, yin and yang, men and women are the unity of all things in the universe. [1 1] Jiaotai Hall also conforms to the principle that the dragon cave is deeply hidden, and the dragon cave must be hidden in the most secret place to achieve the purpose of sheltering from the wind and rain. Looking at all the secret buildings located on the central axis of the Forbidden City, only Jiaotai Hall is worthy of the name. Because the central axis is the symbol of the celestial axis and imperial power, the dragon cave must be located on the central axis to worship dignity. Jiaotai Hall is located in the backyard, but it is not as exposed as Taihe Hall. It is located in a closed building complex in Gan Qing Palace, surrounded by buildings.

Introduce the symmetrical beauty of the Forbidden City in Beijing.

The Forbidden City is located in the center of Beijing, and its layout is based on the principle of "left clan, right society, facing the future" contained in Zhou Li's Textual Research. It is built on the central axis of Beijing, eight kilometers long from north to south, and the north and south are symmetrical. Today, the working people's cultural palace in front of the Forbidden City is the ancestral temple of the Ming and Qing emperors. On the right front, Zhongshan Park is the social altar where the emperor worships the land gods and the valley gods. There is a courtier's office in front; There is a market for people to trade in the back. The North of the Forbidden City in Beijing is the Long Live Mountain and the South is the Jinshui River, which is just in line with the ancients' principle of "negative yin holding yang, rushing to be harmonious". Long live the Mountain is a man-made mountain specially built to create the geomantic omen of the imperial city. Built in the early Ming Dynasty, it is located in the former site of Yanchunge, the bedroom of the Yuan Dynasty, and is made up of silt from the moat and Nanhu Lake. The piling of this mountain, on the one hand, satisfies the principle that the imperial city should be "negative", on the other hand, it suppresses the geomantic omen of the previous dynasty, so Long live the Mountain is also called "Zhenshan". The layout of Beijing 49 City is that Erlong comes out of the water to protect the Forbidden City. According to China's ancient astrology theory, the purple star (i.e. Polaris) is located in the center of the sky, where the emperor lived, corresponding to heaven and man. According to the emperor's residence, it is also called the Forbidden City. The Palace Museum is surrounded by a palace wall with a height of 12 meters and a length of 3,400 meters. It is a rectangular city surrounded by a moat with a width of 52 meters, forming a fortified castle. There are four doors in the Forbidden City. The main entrance is called Wumen, the east entrance is called Donghuamen, the west entrance is called Xihuamen, and the north entrance is called Shenwumen. Facing the Shenwumen in the north gate, there is a Jingshan made of earth and stone. In the overall layout, Jingshan can be said to be the barrier of the Forbidden City complex. The Forbidden City is about 960 meters long from north to south, 750 meters wide from east to west, with an area of more than 720,000 square meters and more than 8,000 existing houses. There are 10 meters high walls and 52 meters wide moats around. There are doors on all sides, the meridian gate in the south, the Shenwu gate in the north, the Donghua gate in the east and the Xihua gate in the west. The Forbidden City consists of an outer court and an inner court. The outer court is centered on the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Zhonghe and the Hall of Baohe, with Wenhua Hall in the east and Wuying Hall in the west as its wings, which is the place where the imperial court held the ceremony. Behind the outer court is the Imperial Palace, including Gan Qing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Kunning Palace, Imperial Garden and Six Palaces of East and West. It is the place where the emperor handles daily affairs and the emperor and queen live. In addition, there is Ningshougong District on the east side, which is the place where Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty abdicated to provide for the aged. The initial construction of the Forbidden City involved 230,000 craftsmen and millions of migrant workers, which lasted 15 years. Nanmu, which built the Forbidden City, was cut down from the deep forests in southwest provinces, along the Yangtze River and in Jiangxi, Zhejiang Province, and then transported to Shenmu Factory outside Chongwenmen for storage and processing. Nanmu often takes three to five years from Sichuan to Beijing. The bricks on the floor are produced by five companies, including Suzhou and Songjiang. Dacheng brick and blue brick are from Linqing, Shandong; The red pigment is taken from Lushan and Boshan in Shandong; White marble comes from Dashiwo, fangshan county; Jingxinxin ditch provides bluestone and white stone; Granite comes from Quyang County; Yantongshan, Xuanhua, Hebei Province provides apricot painted walls covered with gold. Among them, the transportation of stone is the most difficult. For example, the Yunlong stone carving behind Baohe Hall was pulled from Fangshan to Beijing for more than 20 days after the floor was watered and frozen into ice in winter. The glazed tiles used in the Forbidden City were fired by Wanghai Village (now Liulichang) and Heiyao Factory (now Taoranting North District) in Beijing, and the white ash was made by Jingxi Ash Factory. The above contents refer to Baidu Encyclopedia-Beijing Forbidden City.

Where is the Forbidden City in Beijing symmetrical?

Part of the palace (harem) is symmetrical to each other. Of course, I have to tell you that almost no area of the Forbidden City is symmetrical. Only Tiananmen-Kunningmen area can be completely symmetrical, but other places are not symmetrical. Originally, before the end of the Qing Dynasty, the six palaces of the East and the West were indeed symmetrical, but later, the six palaces of the West were changed and Yan Xi Palace was burned down, so they were asymmetrical. There are two royal gardens and Cining Palace gardens in a symmetrical garden. I mean, the layout is symmetrical.

This not only makes the main buildings more tall and spectacular, but also shows the grade difference of the palace buildings.
