Beijing Forbidden City mystery


Where 冷宫


"Lenggong" Where, we must first talk about "Sannomiya six homes." Palace Road Palace of Heavenly Purity, delivery Thai Temple, Kun Ninggong known as the "three palace." 6 Institute Road Liugong mean respectively: Itsuki, Jingren Gong, Cheng Qian Gong, Zhongcui Gong, Jing Yang Yonghe Palace and the Palace. Feudal emperors had the "supreme" power to arbitrary selection of concubine. Large number of the emperor's harem. As for the woman elected to the palace, once out of favor, they die in the palace cut-off room, even worse.
National Palace Museum's "Lenggong" there is no fixed place, but there have always been two kinds of argument that that is a Palace of Heavenly Purity, Changchun Gong; one said, "Lenggong" no fixed address, Guan forbidden princess, prince of the place, it commonly known as "Lenggong" Search times have seen the Ming and Qing historical materials, Lenggong is not the official naming of a Department palace. According to some literature, Ming and Qing era was as a "Lenggong" where there are several places.
When Emperor Ming Apocalypse, Cheng Fei Lee offended the powers that be awesome Eunuch Wei, was driven from the Changchun Gong Imperial Garden west of the dry West and one to live for four years. Has been youju dry West, there are fixed Fei, Ke Bin and others. This "Lenggong" in the Forbidden City to the west.
Kuang Hsu Emperor Zhen Fei was before the Empress Dowager Ci Xi Luo Jing, reportedly in the north side of North King Qi Ge 3 (now dilapidation), this place just west of the gate today, Zhen Fei well inside. If this comes from the mouth of the eunuch rumors are true, then this place could perhaps be considered a "Lenggong."

Palace Designer

Forbidden City This magnificent building, if the vast engineering, who is responsible for design?Who is in charge of construction is it? This is indeed a historical mystery, stumped many old Beijingers. Because the museum's architecture is not as clear as modern architecture, this building was built in engraved with the year in which persons are designed and so forth. Most people think that the National Palace in the Ming dynasty a distinguished artisans, were named Kuai Xiang, known as Kuai Lu Ban people who design.
The Ministry of National Palace Museum, ancient architecture, Senior Engineer Mr. Yu Zhuoyun raised a different opinion: Nanjing, who took part in the construction of the palace is the museum's designers Cheung Kuai this statement inaccurate, in fact, Kuai Xiang is the construction of the National Palace Museum hosts the National Palace Museum should be a real designer is unknown Cai Xin. Yongle Palace of the Forbidden City in 15 years entered the large-scale construction of high tide, only with Zhu Di Kuai Xiang came to Beijing from Nanjing to begin over the construction of the palace, in which, before Caixin Forbidden City and Beijing has presided over the planning, design and construction of the .

The emperor towards a place

Now many people think that usually is used towards a Hall of Supreme Harmony, and in fact not the case. Hall of Supreme Harmony is a place to hold various ceremonies, the actual use of the number of small, look at the Ming and Qing emperors towards a place mainly in: Gate of Supreme Harmony, dry clear the door (for the Mikado hearings), Palace of Heavenly Purity(something big or important issues, the emperor summoned the Minister of the location), and Yang Xindian (behind a screen, the late Qing Dynasty) and is not usually referred to Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Why is the National Palace Museum "dragon" more

Forbidden City is the Dragon's world, the dragon's shape is both varied and lifelike. China's feudal society, the emperor was known as "true sons of the dragon" is the master of the earth.Forbidden City, the Ming and Qing dynasties of the palace, therefore, the palace's halls, bridges, Danbi, stone carving as well as the Empress Bao-Xi, clothing supplies, etc. are all imperial dragon as ornamentation. So, the Forbidden City in the end how many dragons? I am afraid that is in dispute. Some rough calculations show, the Forbidden City palace boasts more than 8,000 rooms, each hall there are only six Long terms, there are nearly 40000 Long, if one adds all the decoration and all the items on the Royal Dragon, it had numerous.
Someone made a statistics, ie, Taihe Dian Ding roof and roof tiles inscribed, drip, etc. A total of dragons 2632, Wai Yan Fang, windows and doors painted, including the amount of accessories there were dragons 5732, hall eaves and ceilings of the hall there were Long Liang Fang Wen 4037, Dianzhong Kim Joo, caisson, the throne, there were dragons on the screen, and display 609, hall walls and Snappers doors cover a total of dragons, etc. 542. This is not yet complete statistics, Tai Wo hall outside the dragons, the dragon carving and other forms of dragon that 13 as many as 844. This Wanlong pilgrimage interior designers, and constitutes a majestic atmosphere of mystery to get the deification of the emperor, the effect of intimidating subjects.

Why not plant trees and three hall hospital

Some authors put forward three main hall compound is not planting trees, mainly from the need to heighten mood. Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Central Harmony, Hall of Preserving Harmony Hall of saying things North Korea is a place where the emperor held in grand ceremony, from the position that the entire home building center outside the palace is the center of the entire city of Beijing. In order to highlight the momentum of this group of majestic palaces and architecture adopted many practices, one hospital that is not planting trees, from the Imperial City since the main entrance of Tiananmen Square by-side doors, Meridian Gate, Gate of Supreme Harmony, a series of courtyard in between are no trees (now the front-side after the tree is planted after the 1911 Revolution). At that time people go to audience with the emperor into Tiananmen Square, after a long Okimichi, in the layers of ups and downs of building space in the road, will feel an invisible and growing psychological pressure and finally into the Gate of Supreme Harmony and the wide square and in the triple-story platform and on the towering majestic hall, this type of stress reached its peak. Wide square, blue sky, silhouetted against the three main hall a more majestic. Which is the supreme emperor of their own subjects requested. If a courtyard is planted with these trees, trees and pleasant, birds tweet, it will undermine the court's authority atmosphere.
Debate on the National Palace Museum


Ownership of the National Palace Museum


The Imperial Palace is the world's cultural heritage, in this sense, the Forbidden City belong to the world. From the perspective of property ownership, the Forbidden City as a subject of great real estate, in the 1911 Revolution until the Qing royal family has always belonged to all. And when out of the Forbidden City, Pu Yi Feng Yu-hsiang will Aisingiorro after it had been nationalized. This involves two important concepts in international law: "nationalization" and "government inherited." When a government based on the people's interests or public need, private property can be a national or foreign public and private expropriation of property or collection, this is "nationalization." Revolutionaries to overthrow the monarchy's just action, should be public opinion, breaks the people, the introduction of the "nationalization" of the means are legitimate. Therefore, before the National Palace Museum by the ROC Government.
The People's Republic of China was proclaimed in 1949, the Central People's Government of The People's Republic of China replaced the legitimate subject of international law the status of the ROC government, the state property took place, "alternate government's inheritance" - The Imperial Palace is no exception. And the "Republic of China" at home and abroad, like many properties, the museum's property of the exercise by the Central People's Government.
"The People's Republic of China Constitution," Article 2 states: "All power belongs to the people's Republic of China", which of course also includes public property - The Imperial Palace of the possession, use, disposal and earnings power. Has always been a subordinate to the National Heritage Board's "Palace Museum" manages the Forbidden City do? Also built a huge set of administrative management system? It is perhaps for this reason, the museum's manager before the National Palace Museum renovation interior of their flats as their own thing to deal with, their closure and thus triggered a series of controversial operation. "National Palace Museum is just one has been commissioned by the body, the National Palace Museum and the human civilization as a national carrier specific responsibilities on matters relating to, without implying that it disposed of the National Palace Museum and all rights of ownership." Legal status of the National Palace Museum, is commissioned by the Central People's Government responsible for managing state-owned (by the whole people) property agency.

The "Palace Museum" or "Forbidden City"

National Palace Museum, the Oriental palace architecture, as a representative example of palace architecture in the world. In 1987, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee will be included in the National Palace Museum, "the World Heritage List." The Imperial Palace's official name is "Palace Museum" (The Palace Museum), but in Europe and the United States published in the tourism brochures, the usually called "Forbidden City" (The Forbidden City), and added that it is China's Ming and Qing 2 on behalf of the resident royal dynasty. Most of the world Zengjinglaiguo or visitors want to come look at the National Palace Museum, is that in Hollywood film "The Last Emperor" and shines with mysterious giant Royal Palace, would like to experience the East with the grand imperial splendor of the times, not just To visit the National Palace in just a display of the national heritage. The Imperial Palace of the Royal Palace of property, is far greater than its function as a museum of Tibetan objects. Museum in the Forbidden City is considered the subconscious, the one in the Gate of Supreme Harmony set up a large-screen television guide systems ideas have been proposed, the experts argue, this plan ultimately failed to implement.
Nanjing Palace Introduction


Nanjing Palace Local
Nanjing Palace Museum, also known as Ming Forbidden City, Beijing's Forbidden City's blueprint for the early Ming Dynasty palace, in this north-south on both sides of the mountain.
By Ming Tai Zu Zhu Yuan Yuan to positive was built in twenty-six years (in 1366), addresses outside the city in the northeastern Qing-yuan sets. The beginning of "the king of new Palace", the latter also known as "Imperial." At that time, yet proclaimed himself emperor Zhu Yuan, so the new palace building a limited scale. Only Road North Korea and the inner court of the outer buildings, vacant land east and west sides were not the construction of palaces, the new Palace of something wide and 790 meters, 750 meters north to south, there are four doors south of the Meridian Gate, east Donghuamen, the West Gate in West China , North of Xuanwumen, into the afternoon, the door of the Mukden door, within the main hall Mukden Palace, around front of palace for Man House, Wu F. Hall after canopy, I would like the body Palace, Palace of Heavenly Purity and the inner court, there is Kunning Gong, as well as East and West Liu Gong.
The first year of Hongwu (1368), the emperor emperor ascended the throne. To meet the Tianfu Nanjing, Kaifeng for Beijing. And in the following year in the Fengyang capital construction, due to human and material resources have all been concentrated in the construction of fortresses and palaces, so the expansion of the palace in Nanjing to terminate its work again, after a few years the palace has only made the necessary repairs.
Hongwu eight years (in 1375) the emperor to abandon plans for construction in both concentrate on the construction of Nanjing. The construction, the addition of the Meridian Gate of about two palace in the door about an increase in the Mukden what they saw, and build Wen-hua, Wu Yingdian and other buildings. Hongwu twenty-five years (1392), re-build, in the Imperial City to add to a wall with a new within the walls of Imperial City, the former Imperial City was renamed Miyagi. In Miyagi pre-built side door, Edward Gate, Golden Water Bridge to form a "T"-shaped plaza, built in 1373 south, reaching as far as the Hongwu door. Square east of 5 (Board of Punishments in the Imperial City of the North Pacific outside), the west side of five Army Dudufu.
The Imperial Palace built in Nanjing, when paid attention to feng shui issues to Purple backed by mountains of wealth, but due to site constraints, part of the inner court, filled songbirds in the construction of the lake, though not into the wood piles, rock shop fixtures, Ramming and other methods as well as the lime concrete reinforced foundation, but the course of time there even after the sinking of foundation problems, intrauterine easy to form waterlogging, drainage is not easy. Miyagi from the outer city at the same time too close, defensive war is not easy.
Jianwen four years (1402), Yan Wang Zhu Di break through the capital, built Emperor fled, the Empress Ma, burned himself to death in the palace. Zhu Di's reign, the palace is still living in Nanjing, but also ordered to Peking for the Bank in preparation for moving the capital. Yongle eighteen years (1420), Beijing palace built in the following year, Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, Nanjing, then the palace is no longer used, but still have to stay in the palace, delegate management of the royal family and inner-chen. Chongzhen seventeen years (1644), Fukuo sung in this throne by Chu, once the establishment of Ming regime. At this point is mostly the Ming Palace has stood amid ruined temples no-deposit, Nanjing Imperial Ancestral Temple has already been burned by the Song Zhu carried out some repair work to build a Mukden door, Empress Palace and other buildings.
Eliminate the Qing Ming, the change Nanjing Jiangning will be replaced by the Eight Banners Ming Imperial garrison town, set up two generals, and are unified in the Yamen in the Ming Palace. Kangxi years, had taken out the National Palace carved pieces of stone temples built Putuo Mountain. After the fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Nanjing did not use the palace as a base address Ming Palace. But in the city to choose another new site construction of new palaces, take out the National Palace here dismantle a large number of stone and brick. To the demise of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Ming Palace of palaces and a wall has been basically no deposit.
Republic of China period, had planned to next area of the Central Administrative Region of the National Palace Museum, but because of financial and causes of the war, the plan is not fully realized, but in the Ming Palace site was built within the Central Vigilance Commission and the Chinese Kuomintang Chinese Kuomintang Central Party History Data Display Museum. Built in 1929, Zhongshan East Road, across from the Ming Palace ruins will be classified as a North-South 2, to the Republic of the late Ming Palace has become a small airport.
Palace Layout Features


Nanjing
1, in harmony with nature on the site. Weigh the pros and cons to make the best choice for a variety of places in the east of Zhongshan Miyagi BU's yang, Beiyi Zhongshan's "leading" rich mountain, and take it as the town of Hill, to give up the heart of the flat - the former Six Dynasties and the surname of the former palace of use, but made use of filling the palace approach. The reason, besides the "Six Dynasties do not smoke throne forever" and taboo things, no more than "(old inside) the yuan Nantai for Temple, slightly built house in distress," not in conformity with the requirements of the new dynasty, and the densely populated old city, another a lot of hero mansion, a large number of demolition on popular support; coupled with Nanjing is a hilly area, the ground hard to find, and from place to place on the powerful built on mountains, weather can create a magnificent effect. This site, in the Jinling has a historical precedent for the Six Dynasties is the choice Miyagi cages Hill, capsize the foot of a high flood plain on the east Qingxi the west five, cages on the hill and follow-up Zhoushan ten days after the natural screen surround and protect in Miyagi. Ming Shan Nanjing Miyagi to riches as a backing, and the East Drainage Using the original as the Imperial City, West Cheng Huang, the Meridian Gate in the north of 5 Longqiao, Edward the door to the south of the city outside the five Longqiao and Miyagi, Ho and Nanjing City, water system connected with each other, embraced each other to achieve artificial and natural effect. The Miyagi biased towards the east of the city, you can often slow down the middle caused by the layout of traffic congestion problems. Therefore, the palace site in Nanjing is a comprehensive landscape and consider the social and psychological factors in decision-making results.
2, in the shapes of the palace, the emperor seeks to restore Han Chinese cultural traditions, political views, focus on the performance of the system to follow ceremony. Architectural forms of content that is exerting itself to find a basis for ritual: for example, a three-North Korea 5, namely, "The Book of Rites," Zheng Xuan's note claimed the emperor and the princes Jieyou three weeks North Korea: North Korea outside the one in North Korea 2; emperor has five: external Yue Gao door, second is pheasant door, third is pools of Si Yue answered the door, Wu Yue Mun Road. But in fact, since the Warring States period after the capital palace system, little restrained in this manner until the beginning of Tang Chang'an has its own meaning. This is the Donsie There are five (Edward Mun, Tai Chi door, Zhu door, astrotech door, Mannan door), and 3 North Korea (Chao Feng days outside the door, Taiji Dian North Korea, which North Korea astrotech Hall). Yuan loss in this system, the Ming palace in Nanjing in turn use this system, the five as follows: Hongwu door, Edward door, side door, Meridian Gate, Mukden doors, 3 Hall as follows: Mukden Palace, canopy Hall, I would like the body palace. As for the Empress Liu Gong, according to Zhou, "after the emperor Liu Gong Li, Yu's wife in order to listen to ... ... within the world in order to Ming and Zhang Zhi-shun women. ... ... His wife, though not sub-Liu Gong, variational main Liugong matter, or Ninomiya is a human. "Nanking Palace in history, the two sequences to establish Concubine Liu Gong in order to pay the shape in order to increasingly co-officiating system requirements. With regard to the door Que, "Book of Rites" have "high for your" requirement. As early as the Qin and Han period, the high-profile construction Que (concept) on as a ceremonial setting, marked the entrance to a spectacular-looking table. Have been made in the Tang Dynasty palace door Que Jiong-shaped planes, and the direct impact to the Five Dynasties Luoyang Wufeng Lou Song Tokyo Xuande door. Meridian Gate, Nanjing palace gates used Jiong-shaped high-Que is the absorption of the traditional architectural forms built. Que the body through the door and the composition of the amount of space needed to embody the noble and majestic Emperor.
In addition, the emperor was also deliberately use the "Heaven" to strengthen its rites in the palace architecture role. The so-called "courtesy by heaven and earth sequence of it." "The enemy, its heaven and earth ethics, yin and yang, the turn of the spirits of the Council, the Five Elements is also the delicate and elegant. Help days Bing Yang, Chui Yue-star, also Bing Yin, and the poor in the mountains and rivers. Multicast five elements in 4:00 and then also on health. ... ... Therefore, units must be saints to Heaven and Earth-oriented, yin and yang as the client, to 4:00 for the handle to Yue stars as Ji, the amount of months. " Pay attention to the order of Heaven induction and rituals of the emperor in Nanjing palace trying to use these principles to strengthen the supremacy of the emperor and ritual authority. Such as in the main hall after the establishment of dry-ching, Ning Ninomiya-kun, symbolizing the Empress as if heaven and earth; about the legislation in the Palace of Heavenly Purity "day sperm gate", "Yuet Wah door", symbolizing the sun and the moon around the foil at the Empress; in East Yasukado Foreign Zheyue Tsing Lung Bridge, in West China tiger outside Zheyue bridge, from the constellation Ershibasu to symbolize Tianjin Trans. Title of the building also used some symbolism to be days, such as the former dynasty temple called "Mukden", meaning the rule of the order of the world Mukden, Ming explained that "in the Ming Dynasty master dare to Stanford to the people on one person, No to non-Mukden also "in order to stress the legitimacy and authority of the new dynasty. "Canopy" This is the star name, seat of ancient times known as the Great Emperor of Jiuxing called "canopy", a symbol of the world should be unified first Ming emperor of the Swiss star. "I would like the body" is that the emperor is to strengthen self-cultivation.
3, Ming and Qing dynasties created the palace from south to north axis coincides with the axis of the model throughout the city. Ya Shu Du, Nanjing palaces and along this axis together.From "Hongwu capital Pictorial" contains the figure shows the capital to the southern tip of the Zhengyang outer city, passes through the gate to the Imperial City Hongwu Edward door for a wide Okimichi, Okimichi on both sides for the 1000 Step Gallery, Royal Road to the east of the distribution of the board of civil service, the Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, Board of War, and Industry, and other central administrative bodies (only outside the Board of Punishments in the Imperial City, north of Taiping), the west is the highest military body - the "five forces Dudufu" is located. Okimichi in front of my mind was Chang Edward left and right doors to form what side streets - Chang'an (Square) and the outer five Longqiao north extension cited by side door, Meridian Gate, within five hazy Qiaozhi Mukden door, into the Miyagi. The two main palace hall three arrived in the north of Miyagi Xuanwumen Gate to North Gate North Yasukado out of Imperial City Imperial City, is right Zhongshan "leading" rich mountain, but to those who escape the city to end. This palace, city axis model of unity, both for the special geographical conditions of Nanjing, by their very prominently express the spirit of the feudal authoritarian rule overweening. Zhu Di became the Yongle Emperor moved the capital to Beijing in Beijing, and design alterations Miyagi, a blueprint.
Hongwu years of the Ming Dynasty is still in an economic recovery period, for capital construction of the emperor repeatedly stressed the principle of frugality and simple, Hongwu eight years when he converted the palace in Nanjing to the courtiers, said: "But seek 安固, not something ... ... so I decorated Chinese posterity abide by that law. As for the Taixieyuanyou friends service, but also confirmed the remark is true. the early Ming Dynasty architectural style is relatively simple and unadorned, focus on practical. Chenxia and local building a system bound by very strict, no system for those who dare to more than mocked. Nanjing Palace Silom Chong feudal authoritarian rule and a strict order of ceremony, a model system. again is a combination of natural and conform to the terrain layout of the city palace of the outstanding examples. but it has also kept the location of defects, such as when filling the palace building, although the engineering practices In order to avoid sinking on the ground, taken under the bedding in the underlying rock and piling, as well as with lime, concrete compaction methods such as hierarchical, but in the late Hongwu have shown than in the north palace palace south of the plot is not easy to exclude waterlogging problems. Again As this city from outside the city too close to the enemy in wartime vulnerable to outside threats. So, after Nanking was captured the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there is no do-Ming Palace Palace days.
1421 Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing and Nanjing to stay are changed, Miyagi still the old system, and appointed the royal family, which Hill station. Chongzhen seventeen years (1644), Fukuo once sung here by Zhu throne in history, said the Ming dynasty. The inflammatory destruction of the Qing Dynasty and the Taiping troops are now the only remaining Meridian Gate, Donghuamen, West China inside and outside doors and five Longqiao, pillar bases, inscriptions and other relics.
[Edit this paragraph] The distribution of Ming Palace

Throughout the Ming Dynasty Imperial area, located in the eastern city of Nanjing, is based on Imperial City and Miyagi as the main body, a series of buildings designed to highlight the imperial "sacred" as the contents of the central administrative office to the country's highest body for large Ming Dynasty core area (only the "three Law Division, "In times of peace outside), but also the early Ming Dynasty at the heart of the city of Nanjing.
Ming palace in Nanjing large-scale, layout, strict construction of Beijing became the imperial master. Ming palace in Nanjing from the inside and outside the Imperial City, Miyagi two parts, are sitting north to south.

Miyagi


Nanjing Imperial City Map
Miyagi, also known as Ouchi, inner palace, commonly known as the Forbidden City, Shigaki It is Zhu Yuan daily handle the affairs of state, accepting audience with Chinese and foreign envoys and royal family members reside, the four-fold in Nanjing city wall inside one of the most heavily, there Yuhe around. Yuan to positive Twenty-six years (in 1366) by the emperor's life, from the operation of the LIU Ji-versed in geomancy divination built after filling the so-lying south than in the north. Miyagi ride north to south, flat slightly rectangular shape, a wall of the main north-south length of 0.95 kilometers from east to west width of 0.75 kilometers, about 3.4 kilometers weeks.
Miyagi wall, the early stages there are four gates, Hongwu "Ten years converted Ouchi Meridian Gate, Tim 2 concept. In three, east and west for about Yemen," it build a six gates : the south gate was the main Meridian Gate, in the afternoon on both sides of the door left and right to left Yemen Yemen, Simon West China Gate, East Gate of Donghuamen the north gate of Xuanwumen. Xuanwumen, commonly known as "thick set Gate" (now mistakenly known as the "Houzaimen"), take "I Ching" Kungua: "terrain-kun, the gentleman to Virtuous."
Afternoon in front of the court is to convey the imperial edict and the proclamation of the place is also a minister of the emperor punished, "Ting Zhang," land. It is said that Zhu Yuan-era "Ting Zhang" is still relatively civilized, the Minister of punishment is not affected by this strip and trousers, but punished, also need to bed a few months and then survived. From the door into the afternoon, there is a wall around, over, within five Longqiao is Mukden door. Fengtian doors east and they saw the left and right with the West but they saw, the door has a pavilion. Back when the emperor Huang Taisun been established as Crown Prince, he was not satisfied with several of his uncle, Huangtai Sun Temple with the Tai Chang-Qing Huang Zi Cheng, discussed in the East they saw on the response. Ascended the throne after making contributions Emperor Ming Huang Zi Cheng and BA, Fan Wang military power in the want to cut before the yellow specially asked: "Mr. Yi Xi-East saw not made peace?" Wong replied: "Bugan Wang." Emperor Jianwen subsequently determined cut-fan, triggering later the "Battle of Jing Nan." The south east they saw a left-cis-door, leading to the left the city the Mandarin Gate Rugong arrived Wenhua Dian (Prince Edward lecturing Department claimed that "Big Ben Hall," the suspect at the Wenhua Dian side) can also pass Donghuamen; West saw not have the right shun the south door, leading to Wuying door Rugong arrived in the city right-sided Wu Yingdian can pass the West China Gate.
In Miyagi's gates, the current part of the Meridian Gate of the wall remaining, but the door on the Wufeng Lou has already destroyed injure, leaving only a stone column bases; Donghuamen basically intact, the West China Gate has been destroyed. The year 2000, the relevant authorities to build new buildings because of in-situ on the basis of digging, they find the ruins of the door. Currently, relevant departments have decided on the site to be protected.
Guo Mukden palace gate is the most important three-hall building. Mukden palace, was the main hall, golden glazed tile roof, double eaves heavy ridges, magnificently decorated, carved red lacquer doors and windows outline in gold, issued under the sparkling in the sun light, which is commonly referred to as the "Golden Luang palace." Of course, this is what happened a decade later Hongwu. It is Zhu Yuan held a major ceremony and accepted Wenwubaiguan Asaga place. Zhu Yuan, "business at the beginning, make every effort, in addition to Zaozhao towards afternoon and evening there is North Korea, the provisions of government ministries, there are 185 kinds of incidents must be Mianzou emperors." From this record, it seems you can imagine how busy the scene where the Chief.
Fengtian Dianpang left to the west veranda floor, said the text, right veranda floor to the east, said Wu. Mukden Palace is the canopy behind the Temple, it is like a pavilion, four out of nets, seepage golden dome, Dianding still Zhuiyou huge golden one. Dianpang east in the left door, right door in the west. Every Spring Festival, the winter solstice, and the emperor's birthday, where the emperor must be accepted first in the Cabinet ministers and the court officer-bearers of the shrine, then go to Mukden Palace to accept the Asaga Baiguan. After going back to the body is like Temple, planning after the throne room, but also a double cornice of the hall. To Mukden, canopy, I would like the body which three magnificent buildings mainly constituted Miyagi "former" in the main part.
In the "former" in the back, are "Liu Gong" (also known as "Temple") range. The southern center of the palace gates for the dry-ching gate, outside the Golden Lion about each one, dry-ching hall door for the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Nissei the left the palace doors, the right, Yuet Wah day, things are inclined Hall Gallery, Gallery East, Snappers, after the left the right, the West Snappers. Palace of Heavenly Purity Hall followed by the province of bow, as the canopy hall format, slightly smaller. Shenggong bring up the rear of Kunning Gong is the Queen's residence.Kunning Gong's east and west sides, soft instrument built Dian Dian-Chun, and two other Hall.Temple of the system is very strict, after the emperor has made amendments to five times, not only can not Chu Gong Gong, and even letters nor heard, and offenders shall be no survivors.

There is also a not too small Miyagi's "zoo", but it has not elephant room. May be an elephant size, weight excessive, inconvenient placement of the reason, it will be countries in Southeast Asia and Southern official tribute envoys elephants, mostly concentrated in the Nanjing Treasure doors and wagons outside the area, to be domesticated (and therefore outside the Nanjing Guo gates who have the "big elephant door", "small elephant door" of the title). Hongwu nineteen years (1386) in December, in the south of the outskirts of Nanjing, "hit home like a room." After domestication of elephants, when necessary sent to the palace to perform.
The early construction of relatively simple Miyagi, from the current legacy of Nanjing Meridian Gate Xu Mizuo stone carvings and stone carvings Fengyang Meridian Gate Xu Mizuo comparison, it can clearly be seen. 1375 (Hongwu years) September 29, "Chao converted Ouchi palace." After two years of time, "Ouchi palace converted into a ... ... system Jieru old, but a little gain, the scale of benefits Hongzhuang carry on" ( "Ming Tai Zu Record" volume 115).Palace Square in Nanjing, all the amount of plaque, allegedly a unified source of handwritten by Jensch. Miyagi wall bricks, early from the military efforts on the local Shaozao Yingtianfu, later changed Miyagi building used a number of other places Shaozao of bricks.
