Daming Palace is built with geomantic omen.

Daming Palace can be said to be the representative building of the Tang Dynasty. At first, it was built by Emperor Taizong for his father, Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This huge project was not completed until Li Yuan's death. After Li Yuan's death, the construction of Daming Palace was suspended until Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was rebuilt.

Before that, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty generally lived in the Taiji Palace, which was a magnificent palace built by the Sui Dynasty in Chang 'an. In addition to practicality, it also integrates astronomy, geomantic omen and other knowledge. According to the ancient concept of "the North Pole is supreme" in China, Taiji Palace was placed in the center of the north of Daxing City.

But the geographical location of Taiji Palace is actually in a depression. Summer is not only humid, but also sultry. The royal family living in Taidi Palace leaves Taidi Palace for the summer every summer. Therefore, Emperor Taizong wanted to build a Summer Palace for his father, but the project was postponed because of his father's death.

When he arrived in Li Zhi, Tang Gaozong, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was sickly since he was a child because Zhenguan ruled the idle money in the treasury, and he really couldn't stand the damp heat in Taiji Palace. After his rights were stabilized, he began to order the reconstruction of Daming Palace.

? This kind of behavior is actually supporting Wu Zetian. At that time, he had just abolished the queen and made Wu Zetian his successor. He needed to do something to stabilize Wu Zetian's position, so he showed the world the great changes in the Tang Dynasty and expressed his position by building Daming Palace.
