In the process of construction, people found a very meaningful thing, so what is it? Tiananmen Square was first established in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and it was named "Chengtianmen", which means "Chengtian Qiyun, where destiny returns". Judy, the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty, appointed architect Kuai Xiang to design this tower. The capital of Ming Dynasty was originally in Nanjing, but Kuai Xiang adopted the architectural style of Nanjing Chengtianmen when building Tiananmen Square, so it was named Chengtianmen directly after its completion.
Later, Chengtianmen experienced lightning and fire, and was designed and rebuilt by Kuai Xiang in Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty. This reconstruction has expanded the specifications of Chengtianmen. During the reign of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, the emperor shunzhi ordered a large-scale reconstruction of Chengtianmen, which integrated the architectural style at that time.
Shunzhi didn't like the word "Chengtianmen", so he changed his name to "Tiananmen Square", which means "ruling the country by heaven and governing the country with security". After that, it has undergone several repairs of different sizes. Until the founding of New China, Tiananmen Square was ruined by the war and natural disasters.
Therefore, the state decided to carry out a comprehensive transformation of Tiananmen Square. During the construction, workers found a golden nanmu box under the glazed tiles in Tiananmen Square, which contained a gold ingot, a piece of cinnabar and some colorful particles. Ancient people were superstitious about geomantic omen, so when building a house, they placed some evil spirits.
Although I have heard of this tradition, it is rare. In order to continue the tradition, when Tiananmen Square was completed, the designer put a piece of white marble in its original position, engraved with the words "1970 65438+1reconstruction from October to March", and the previously discovered treasure of the town hall was sent to the museum for collection.
