Chapter 46 Remembering the Forbidden City
In the evening, Zhou Zijun called Chen Zier, "Sister Han is going to Jinling on National Day, and she wants the two of us to take care of the training class for her." ”
Chen Zier was in trouble and said, "I'm going to go to Yanjing." ”
He went to the National Day last year, but he was unlucky enough to have Wei Lang's affair, which made him not in the mood to have fun at all, so it can be said that he came back without playing anything.
He still wants to go this year, but he and Shao Zhun haven't seen each other for a long time, and they don't usually talk on the phone, so it is natural for him to make a small catch. Second, many of Yanjing's attractions are really worth visiting and seeing.
Not to mention anything else, the Forbidden City always has to take a good look, and I usually read history in books, and it is also very meaningful to go to the field to see it this time.
He said this plan, but Zhou Zijun blew up and shouted: "I'm going too! Last time you went to Xiangjiang, you didn't say a word about getting the pass, don't you plan to tell me in advance this time?!"
Chen Zier thought to himself: You still have a little bit of discipline.
"Didn't you just say that you were going to help Sister Han take care of the training class? Why didn't you say a word, you're going to leave, if we both leave, what will Sister Han do?"
Zhou Zijun was in a dilemma, but she was not convinced, "Then why should I stay and work, you go north to play, no, either you stay with me, or you take me with you." ”
Chen Zier was helpless: "I'm looking for me to be small, what are you going to do?"
Zhou Zijun said: "As long as you Yanjing has a small hair, others don't?"
Chen Zier: ......
This matter is known to her, and it is difficult to shirk it.
Zhou Zijun came early the next morning, and without saying much, she must go to Yanjing to play together, even if Chen Zier deliberately set some overlord terms, she still insisted.
Later, Chen Zier thought that he shouldn't have done anything official this time, so let's go together.
On the afternoon of September 30, the two packed their things and prepared to go to the airport. They decided to go to Yanjing, as for Han Qian's affairs...... She herself has given up her plan to go to Jinling, and the training class cannot be ignored.
And Zhou Zijun, who was going to Yanjing, was very excited, she couldn't stay in the dormitory, so she came to CUHK early. also took out her best clothes and put them on, vividly showing her tall and slender legs.
She said to Chen Zier: "This is my first time on a plane, and I am still a little scared when I think about it, if something happens in the sky, we can't finish it?"
Chen Zier was speechless, "Can you say something auspicious?"
Zhou Zijun didn't care, and smiled happily when he saw Chen Zier's serious appearance.
Chen Zier said again: "Don't worry, the probability of an accident on a plane is lower than that of a train, and it is much lower." ”
Three days ago, a plane crashed in Indonesia, killing 234 people, and the newspapers were all over the place. Zhou Zijun said suspiciously.
She was talking about the September 26 crash of an Indonesian Condor flight near Medan, killing 234 people. This is a very serious air crash, and there are many domestic media reports.
But Chen Zier is not worried, he said: "If you think about it from another angle, everything that is on the news is rare, which means that air crashes are also a rare thing, as long as it is not unlucky, it will be fine." ”
Zhou Zijun said again: "I'm not afraid, anyway, the plane you took with me will die together." ”
Chen Zier refused, "Don't, whatever you want to do, I want to live well." ”
Zhou Zijun: ......
on the plane.
Chen Zier asked Zhou Zijun: "Are you also a college student in Yanjing?"
"I'm not small in Yanjing. Zhou Zijun has a heartbeat.
……
Chen Zier was completely convinced, "Then you don't have you and you still confidently ask me, 'You Yanjing have a small hair'!"
Zhou Zijun couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably.
It's also a talent.
When he landed, Shao Zhun came to pick him up, he was almost the same as a year ago, he still squinted his small eyes, Chen Zier wanted to bring a classmate, he already knew yesterday.
The three of them went to the hotel first to solve the accommodation problem. Shao Zhun still sleeps at school, so Chen Zier only opened two rooms.
During the National Day holiday, many small hotels are full. In the end, I can only find a four-star hotel, and the environment is very good. It was Zhou Zijun's courage when he entered the door.
Chen Zier took his and Zhou Zijun's ID cards and said to the front desk: "Open two rooms." ”
Zhou Zijun whispered beside him: "This is the first time I have stayed in such a high-end hotel. ”
The front desk lady said sweetly: "Mr. Chen, our unit price is 388, how many nights will you stay?"
Chen Zier's face remained unchanged, "Five nights." How much is it?"
"Hello sir, a total of 3880. ”
Zhou Zijun couldn't help but swallow his saliva: I have to work part-time for at least a year, and I will be gone after a few nights!
"Sir, cash or credit card?"
Chen Zier took out a card from his arms, "Credit card." ”
'Drip', 3880 is gone. Shao Zhun knew that Chen Zier had made money, but this voice still made him feel a pain in his flesh.
After Chen Zier signed and left.
Zhou Zijun followed behind Chen Zier in small steps, and her heart, which had always been bold, was beating wildly now: "Why did you bring me to such an expensive hotel, so much money, how do you want me to pay it back?!"
"Keep your own accounts, and pay it back slowly after you work. ”
Zhou Zijun: ......
~~~~~~~~
What to do first in Yanjing?
Chen Zier chose the Forbidden City, Zhou Zijun also wanted to see it, she was very excited now, this was her first time in the capital, and she was very excited to see Tiananmen Square.
Shao Zhun is the calmest, he doesn't know how many times he has been here, just like Chen Zier doesn't have any feelings for the Oriental Pearl.
But Shao Zhun still accompanied the two, the Forbidden City is very big, Yanjing is even bigger, and having a familiar person can save a lot of effort.
The Forbidden City is the world's best-preserved ancient palace complex, which is something that every Chinese person knows.
When I passed Tiananmen Square, there were soldiers in black clothes and black sunglasses at the door, and it felt very solemn to stand there in a row of two people.
Zhou Zijun was shocked by the momentum of his uncle in the People's Liberation Army, "There are so many people in black, it feels like entering the territory of the underworld, which is a little terrifying." ”
Chen Zier was amused by her strange analogy, "What kind of underworld, is this a serious people's soldier or not, don't be afraid, our party has said that we want to serve the people, you are the people, they serve you and protect you." ”
Shao Zhun urged, "Hurry up, it's estimated that you will have to queue up to buy tickets during the National Day holiday." ”
This crow's mouth was right, Chen Zier and they waited for at least forty minutes, but they could only look at the end door but did not let them in.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the three of them officially set off with their tickets.
After passing the end gate, there is the noon gate.
Zhou Zijun felt that the name 'Wumen' was somewhat familiar.
Chen Zier explained: "In fact, the main gate of the Forbidden City is not Tiananmen Square, it should be regarded as the noon gate, it is often said in TV dramas, come on, push out the noon gate for me and behead it! ”
Zhou Zijun is a girl after all, and when he said this, he felt a chill in his back.
If you want to get in quickly, but you still have to queue up, there are five doors here at noon, but the most central gate is not open, and now the open area of the Forbidden City is almost only 30% of the whole, and the gate in the middle is not opened until later, and people are still not allowed to go in 97.
Zhou Zijun's teeth itched, and he said hatefully: "There is something wrong with the door not opening." ”
"I'll explain it to you, but the tour guide fee is also recorded in the account, and it costs money to ask someone to explain. ”
Zhou Zijun was not convinced, "It depends on what you say." ”
Chen Zier said: "The door in the middle, in ancient times, only the emperor could walk on weekdays, such as when he got married, he had to walk from here once, and the three people who won the palace examination, Bangyan, and Tanhua can also go once, and others are not allowed to go." ”
Zhou Zijun hated the feudal dynasty very much, "But now is not ancient times." ”
"Who knows, maybe it will open in a few years. ”
"Look at the two side doors on the left and right are the doors for the ministers of civil and military affairs and the princes of the clan to enter and exit, in fact, there are two more doors, which are the rest of the people walking. ”
Zhou Zijun didn't believe it, "Where are the two other doors?"
Shao Zhun confirmed, "Yes, but those two small doors can't be seen until inside." ”
"Really?" Zhou Zijun was skeptical, and asked Chen Zier: "Didn't you say that you are also here for the first time? How do you know?"
Chen Zier replied: "I haven't been here, but I know that the noon gate is a typical 'bright three dark five' architectural style, from the front of the noon gate is three doors, into the inside is five doors, don't believe you will go in later." ”
Soon, the three of them crossed the noon gate, which was officially entered the Forbidden City. Zhou Zijun went inside and saw that there were really five doors, and he couldn't help but admire Chen Zier even more.
After passing the noon gate, crossing the Neijinshui River, the field of vision suddenly opened, you can see a big square, and a palace-like gate appears in the field of vision: Taihe Gate.
There is a bronze lion on both sides of the Taihe Gate, which is also known as the first lion in China.
The majesty and magnificence of the Forbidden City were displayed in front of the three of them for the first time.
The area here is too large, one palace after another, one square after another. No, after the Taihe Gate, there is a larger square, and then you can see the largest and tallest palace in the Forbidden City: the Taihe Palace!
Zhou Zijun couldn't help but let out a 'wow', "It's so magnificent, look at the white marble steps below, there are three layers! There are so many dragon heads carved!"
Chen Zier said: "It is indeed shocking, it is said that this is the tallest building in the capital at that time, such a big palace is built on three white marble steps, magical." ”
Shao Zhun said: "This is the place where the emperor went to court, and it must be a little more magnificent." ”
Chen Zier nodded, "The Jinluan Palace, which we usually commonly call, is the Taihe Palace, which is the highest status palace in the Forbidden City, and our ancestors like to use the number nine to represent extreme and large." However, there are ten beasts on the eaves of the Taihe Palace, which shows the high status of this palace!"
Zhou Zijun said curiously: "You didn't go to see it, do you know it's ten?"
She ran over and counted, and sure enough, there were ten beasts. Looking at Chen Zier, who was walking slowly behind him, he looked calm and relaxed, and his heart was already a deer: how could he know everything?
Chen Zier was curious about what the dragon chair looked like, so he sped up and took a look.
The interior content of the Taihe Hall is more, the eaves are densely applied, and the indoor and outdoor beams are decorated with the highest level and seal paintings. The upper part of the door and window is inlaid with a rhombic pattern, the lower part is embossed with a cloud dragon pattern, and the joints are equipped with gilded copper leaves engraved with dragon patterns.
Chen Zier has excellent eyesight, he can see a lot, even if it is a little dark inside.
Zhou Zijun was uncomfortable: "It's too dark, I can't see the dragon chair clearly." ”
Shao Zhun explained on the side: "This is also a helpless thing, the light will hurt the cultural relics, so it can only be darkened." Actually, today is not bad, the sun is not too strong. In this temple, the greater the sunlight outside, the darker it is inside, and there are many things to see today. ”
Chen Zier looked at the dragon pattern throne above, and couldn't help but imagine how noble the person sitting on it would be in a particular era.
Anyway, it's all crossing, why don't you dress yourself to ancient times and be an emperor?
The three of them left the Taihe Hall and walked forward.
It can be seen that the palace is obviously smaller than the Taihe Palace, and the front sees the Zhonghe Hall and the Baohe Hall respectively, so far, the so-called front palace is constituted by the three major halls.
Chen Zier then explained the usefulness of these two palaces to Zhou Zijun.
If you go further and keep going in, you can see the Qianqing Palace.
This name Zhou Zijun has a little impression, which was mentioned in the TV series.
Chen Zier said: "Qianqing Palace is the dormitory of the two emperors of Shunzhi and Kangxi, but when he arrived in Yongzheng, he moved to the Yangxin Palace, and the emperors of the later dynasties all took the Yangxin Palace as the dormitory and did not live in the Qianqing Palace." ”
After this, you can reach a place with a very high noun occurrence rate - the harem.
The harem is not as spacious as the front palace, and there are not so many squares, all of which are connected by small palaces, Chen Zier also saw Chuxiu Palace, that is, where the Empress Dowager Cixi lived, she also gave birth to Emperor Tongzhi here, as well as Kunning Palace, which was the queen's bedroom in the Ming Dynasty.
There are many scenes in the Forbidden City, including 'Zhenfei Well', the origin of the name Chen Zier also explained to Zhou Zijun, as well as the imperial garden at the end.
Zhou Zijun likes this place the most, she said: "I always see what kind of imperial garden on TV, and I came to see it myself today." ”
There are a lot of plants and rocks in the garden, and the scenery is good, but if you want to say that it is big, it is not so big, or maybe some of it is not open.
In short, the scale that Chen Zier saw made him not understand how the lost palace maid and the emperor in the imperial garden met by chance.
The Forbidden City is very large, and the three of them visited it until four o'clock in the afternoon.
And Yanjing has been the capital for five or six hundred years, so why not just the Forbidden City?
A few days later, Chen Zier and Zhou Zijun went to the Summer Palace again and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Summer Palace, as well as the Old Summer Palace, which is next to Shao Zhun School.
Of course, the princess's tomb is indispensable, as well as the Badaling Great Wall, the chairman's memorial hall, and finally they saw the Ming Tombs.
On the afternoon of October 6, Chen Zier set off to return to China Shipping. At this time, Zhou Zijun was already paralyzed from exhaustion. Traveling is a very tiring thing, and she must have experienced it firsthand.
