Chapter 289: What is "Kunning"
"Why are you so slow, I've been waiting for a while, this weekend, there are a lot of people who come to the Forbidden City to play, let's go in quickly, otherwise there will be a lot of people in a while, and there will be people on a scenic spot, and there will be crowded, so you won't see anything!" Wang Ping met with a few people, and said with some complaints.
"Isn't this the first time I didn't recognize the road, it took some time to ask for directions, and my brother is still parking, let's wait for him for a while." ”
"Then let's go buy tickets first, and when Brother Ye comes, we can go in immediately." Wang Ping proposed.
"That's okay, I'll go with Ah Ping to buy tickets, Sister Qingqiu, you and Liangliang are waiting for my brother here. After saying this, Ye Zhuoqun took Wang Ping to the place where he bought tickets and lined up.
Li Qingqiu and Huang Liangliang were left, and Li Qingqiu naturally chatted with Huang Liangliang, "Liangliang, did you know Ah Ran before?"
Huang Liangliang was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't understand why Li Qingqiu suddenly asked like this, she tried her best to behave naturally, and asked suspiciously: "Why did Sister Qingqiu suddenly ask like this?"
Li Qingqiu smiled embarrassedly, as if he also felt that his question was a little abrupt, put his long hair behind his ears, lowered his head and replied: "I just think that there seems to be a special familiar feeling between the two of you, like old friends who have known each other for many years." ”
Huang Liangliang had to sigh in his heart that Li Qingqiu's feelings were keen, but he still wanted to pretend to be ignorant on his face, tilted his head, smiled and replied: "I really knew each other when I was a child, but many years have passed, and now I am already unfamiliar." ”
Li Qingqiu listened to Huang Liangliang's answer, and showed that it was really like this, and said with a smile: "That Liangliang, your fate with Ah Ran is not shallow. ”
The corners of Huang Liangliang's mouth twitched, he smiled awkwardly, and did not speak, but he was slandered in his heart, fate is indeed not shallow, but most of them are bad fate......
"Ah Ran, here!" When Huang Liangliang was thinking nonsense, Li Qingqiu had already seen Huang Sang who was walking slowly not far away, and raised his hand to signal to him.
When Huang Sang walked in front of the two of them, Ye Zhuoqun and Wang Ping also happened to come back after buying tickets, she divided the tickets, and several people went in together.
The Forbidden City, formerly known as the Forbidden City, is located in the center of the central axis of Yanjing, is the royal palace of the two dynasties of the previous dynasties, according to the principle of "Zuo Zu, Right Society, Facing the City, and the Aftermarket" contained in the "Zhou Li Examination Record", it is built on the central axis of eight kilometers long from north to south in Yanjing City, and the north and south are straight, and the left and right are symmetrical.
The palace city is surrounded by a palace wall with a height of 12 meters and a length of 3,400 meters, in the form of a rectangular city, surrounded by a moat 52 meters wide outside the wall, forming a castle with strong walls. The Forbidden City has 4 gates, the main gate is called Wumen, the east gate is called Donghua Gate, the west gate is called Xihua Gate, and the north gate is called Shenwu Gate.
Huang Liangliang and the others entered through the main gate and the noon gate. The palace of the Xia Kingdom where she and Huang Sang lived in the past was not as vast and majestic as the Forbidden City, but the layout of the palace was probably similar, generally composed of two parts: the outer court and the inner court, and the outer court was the place where the imperial court held ceremonies.
Behind the outer court is the inner court, which is where the emperor handles daily government affairs and where the emperor and concubines live. In addition, there will be some additional areas, such as some residences where the emperor or the queen concubines abdicated.
The group walked all the way, visited the three major halls, Ye Zhuoqun and Li Qingqiu were both here for the first time, looking at this extremely royal palace was very excited and excited, Ye Zhuoqun even held the camera everywhere and kept shooting, only hating himself for not having enough film.
Wang Ping is a native of Yanjing, and she has been to this Forbidden City several times, so she is naturally not so excited, just accompanying a few people to wander around, and occasionally making a cameo commentator.
After visiting the outer court, after the group arrived at the inner court, Ye Zhuoqun and the others became even more excited. The gate of the inner court palace of the Forbidden City is called the Qianqing Gate, there are glazed walls on the left and right, and the door is the back three palaces.
The inner court is centered on the Qianqing Palace, the Jiaotai Palace, and the Kunning Palace, and there are the East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace in the east and west wings, and the Inner Court is different from the Outer Dynasty in terms of architectural style. The architecture of the outer dynasties symbolized the supremacy of imperial power. The inner courtyard buildings are mostly self-contained courtyards.
"This is Kunning Palace, where the ancient queen lived. Wang Ping pointed to a palace with a yellow glazed tile and a heavy eaves and a palace roof.
"Why is it called 'Kunning Palace'?" Ye Zhuoqun stood outside the palace, looked inside, and asked curiously.
Wang Ping was stunned when asked, she only knew that this palace was called Kunning Palace, and as for why it was called Kunning Palace, she knew there.
"In ancient times, the status of the queen was relative to the emperor, the most noble woman in the world, the emperor was the sky, the queen was the earth, the emperor was Qian, the queen was Kun, and the queen was the only one in the world.
Several people immediately looked at Huang Liangliang in surprise, as if they didn't expect her to understand so much.
"Liangliang, you're so good, you still read the Tao Te Ching, how can you read that kind of antique thing. Ye Zhuoqun didn't like this kind of crepe thing the most, and when he heard what Huang Liangliang said, he couldn't help but praise it with admiration.
"Let you usually read more serious books, the Tao Te Ching is a Taoist classic, not an old antique in your mouth. Huang Sang also came up at this time, and said to Ye Zhuoqun in a somewhat unceremonious tone.
Ye Zhuoqun turned around and stuck out his tongue at him, and said unconvinced: "Why don't I read serious books, the ones I read are all foreign masterpieces, and the ancient texts are so difficult to understand, don't I not understand them!"
Huang Sang didn't continue to educate her, and also looked at Kunning Palace in front of him, and a touch of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.
"Let's go in and have a look, I'm quite curious about where the ancient queen lived. Ye Zhuoqun grabbed Huang Liangliang and Wang Ping, and hurriedly ran inside.
Li Qingqiu followed behind them, and when he saw that Huang Sang was still standing in place and didn't move, he turned his head and asked him, "Ah Ran, aren't you going in?"
Huang Sang retracted his gaze, smiled at Li Qingqiu, and replied, "You guys go in first, I'll look outside for a while." ”
Li Qingqiu felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't say anything more, nodded, and approached the palace.
In the Kunning Palace, it has been displayed by the staff of the Forbidden City in accordance with the original state of palace life, with 9 wide corridors and 3 deep rooms, which was the queen's bedroom in the Ming Dynasty. However, in the previous dynasty, it was rebuilt and became the main place for shamanism to worship the gods.
