Try to give you a brief mention,
First of all, you regard the Forbidden City as the largest quadrangle building in China. The meridian gate is the main entrance of the quadrangle. So, magnificent, magnificent.
Secondly, arrange "wood, fire, earth, gold and water" according to the five elements (the traditional five elements in China should be endless).
The east belongs to wood (green), the south belongs to fire (red), the west belongs to gold (white), the north belongs to water (black) and the middle belongs to soil (yellow). The meridian gate is the south gate of the Forbidden City, and the south is at noon on the compass, hence the name. Because of the fire in the south, the door wall is big red. According to the five elements, fire is born. So use yellow glazed tiles. Royal buildings such as the Forbidden City are all of this color, and the reason is the same. )
Wumen Gate is also called Wufenglou. Fifth, because it has five towers, the phoenix belongs to Suzaku in the south, and Suzaku is also called Fire Phoenix.
I can only give you this way to spread it out. That's it in a nutshell.
