Chapter 1 City Spring
Spring in Beiping City seems to have begun, although everyone seems to be busy, and they don't think much of it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the hearts of the people of Beiping, it seems that the spring breeze and the melting of ice and snow do not mean that spring is coming, but when they see the trees in the courtyard sprouting, they make a sudden realization: "Spring can be regarded as coming-"
There are many trees in Beiping, from the palace to the courtyard of the folk house, the horizontal and vertical avenue and the deep alley, there are locust trees and willow trees everywhere, but the people of Beiping do not love such trees, prefer the fruit trees, jujube trees, persimmon trees, apple trees, you can not imagine how dense the trees in Beiping City are;
Especially the jujube tree, the poplar, willow, and elm trees next to it have a slight green, but the jujube tree can't be compared with them, that is, it refuses to sprout, just like the three or five jujube trees in Zhang Zhaohua's yard, forking the branches to maintain the posture of the sky, and I don't think that my body is bare and ugly.
Zhang Zhaohua looked at them, thinking about the taste of the dried dates he ate in his mouth yesterday.
"There's no reason to fake death," Zhang Zhaohua has grown up in the countryside for 15 years, and knows that this tree sometimes fakes its death: "If it doesn't hurt the roots during transplantation, it means that some insects have bitten it, and some trees are delicate, and they lose their temper when they are bitten, and they refuse to cheapen those insects in the spring, and they will not sprout until the autumn." β
"The jujube tree germinates late," Gao Chi tied his belt: "Especially in Beiping, it's about March, how can you see it now?"
"Sure enough, the climate is different," Zhang Zhaohua said: "In my hometown, at this time, the jujube trees are full of green. β
They walked out of the door, Zhang Zhaohua stood on the steps and looked up at the sky, and said happily "heh" in his mouth: "Look at this day, it's refreshing to watch!"
The dark clouds in Beiping City in winter are heavy, but once they fade, the sky is like a blue sapphire that has just been washed in water, which makes people look at it and feel excited. It is not necessary to say that "autumn is high and cool" refers specifically to autumn, it seems that in any season in Beiping, there is such a feeling of autumn high and cool.
"Although it's warm today," Mama Qian came over to put on a wool cotton nest for her, and said, "But the old saying that spring covers autumn frost still has to be listened to, and it will be the end of March before I can take off my winter clothes." β
Mama Qian, who returned to her hometown in Beiping, didn't seem to even see the extra crow's feet on her face, and what surprised Zhang Zhaohua was that she seemed to have a bright and vibrant temperament, as if Beiping was the source of her vitality, and it was true.
Of course, the contagion of Beiping is not only reflected in Mama Qian, who has been reunited for a long time, but also with Handong and Hanshuang, two little girls who have grown up in the south since they were children who came to Beiping for the first time, they also feel that this place is really good. When I asked her what she was doing, she said, "It's just that it's open, it's not as magnificent as the capital, but it's not a vulgar place as we originally thought." β
Nanjing City is really magnificent and magnificent, this is Zhang Zhaohua saw with his own eyes, Beiping City is also her own eyes to see, this place is a large pattern, but has not been refined, a simple rush to the face, but just feel the atmosphere, how to say - in fact, many places in the south have forced people out of breath market portals, not for anything else, it is really densely populated, and has to live in a cramped place, but Beiping is good on the big and wide above.
Take this Yanwang Mansion, which has been living for a month, for example, it may not be called a mansion, or even a city within a city. Hongwu three years Yan King was entitled, when the mansion was built, the inner hall of the Yuan capital was changed to Yanshan Mansion, although the palace of the Yuan Dynasty was set on fire by Xu Da in accordance with the emperor's will, but still left a lot of bricks and stones and the palace that was not burned, and the Yan Wangfu Mansion was built on the site of the Longfu Palace, the inner hall of the Yuan Dynasty, and the ruins of the Xingsheng Palace were the residence of the Empress Dowager of the Yuan Dynasty to the north.
The palace was built for nine years, and it was not completed until the twelfth year of Hongwu. How big is the scale, Zhang Zhaohua, who has barely seen the corners of the entire palace for a month, couldn't help but sigh, it is too big.
The palace was built according to the palace chambers, like the palace chambers in Nanjing, but in a smaller version. Since it is a palace room, there is a palace wall, the city wall is as high as two zhang nine feet, the lower width is six zhang, the upper width is two zhang, the female wall is five feet five inches high, and the city river is as wide as fifteen zhang. The palace city is more than three miles around, three hundred and nine steps and five inches, one hundred and fifty zhang and two inches and five minutes from east to west, one hundred and ninety-seven zhang and two inches and five minutes from north to south, all the palace gates, and the four city gates are covered with blue glazed tiles, because only the palace can be made of red and yellow glazed tiles.
South Korea's Gyeongbokgung Palace is a blue brick, and Zhang Zhaohua, who was fortunate enough to visit once in his previous life, feels that the palace in North Korea may not be one-third the size of Yan Wangfu.
The palace of King Yan has three major halls, the front, middle and back, and the layout of the palace city of Nanjing is exactly the same, but the main hall of Nanjing is called Fengtian, Huacani, and Jinshen; The names of these two places echo each other, with the meaning of "Fengtian carrier" to show the long-term peace and stability of Zhu Mingxia; and the canopy shape is round, so the second hall in the palace is named after the "round hall", and finally it is "be cautious and mindful", there is "Fengtian carrier" in front of the meaning of the sky, and then there is "be cautious and hearty" to announce to peopleββ
The four gates of the palace, the south is Duanli, the north is Guangzhi, the east is Tiren, the west is Zunyi, according to the ancient precept of "benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom", there is also a bridge on the moat and there is a "passing gate", all are named after the direction where they are located, in front of the Tiren gate is called "East Gate", in front of Zunyi Gate is called "West Gate" to deduce this. There is even a drawbridge over the moat, and the military defense features are very prominent.
All the palace rooms of the palace sit in the north and face south, take the carrier hall as the main hall, it is the place where the king of Yan deals with government affairs, the palace of the heart, the round hall is the daily rest of the king of Yan, this is the front hall; the back bed is the residence of the princess and the princes, so that the front and the back bed are laid out, and the order is in order.
The palace official office area and the guard area are located in a vast area between the Xiao Wall and the brick city, and there are many official offices such as the Book Hall, the Discipline and Benevolence Office, the Good Doctor's Office, the Pawn Dining Office, the Trial Office, the Worship Office, the Treasure Office, the Gongzheng Office and the Ritual Office, etc., to serve his daily life at any time. In addition to the official office, the personnel under the jurisdiction of the corresponding department also live in this area, so this area is not only the government affairs area of the government office, but also the living area of the service personnel.
How many houses are there in the whole palace, first of all, there are four city gates, five rooms wide, each with six rooms, and the front gate, that is, the main gate, is also five rooms wide, with ten gatehouses, and eighteen more corridors. The carrying hall is seven rooms wide, eighty-two corridor rooms, five through halls, seven apsees, one family temple, five main rooms, six wing rooms, three doors, one study hall, five main rooms, and six wing rooms. There are seven rooms in the front dormitory, five rooms in the back bedroom, 60 rooms in the corridor, five rooms in the east and three in the west, six wing rooms, and six rows of multi-person rooms, a total of 42 rooms.
There is also one Shizi Mansion, three rooms, five back rooms, and sixteen wing rooms, which is where Zhang Zhaohua lives now, that is to say, the place where Zhang Zhaohua lives is a three-entry courtyard house in later generations - do you think this is the end, in fact, it just said the place where the master of the palace and his family lived, not the place where the other servants and attendants lived.
That is to say, the slaughtering pavilion, the ceremonial warehouse, the tea room, the clean room, the pawn house, the storehouse, the horse room, the horse room, the Chengfeng Division, the Chengfeng rest room, the kitchen, the six bureaus, the internal envoy's rest room, the Lu rice warehouse, and the grain collection hall are not counted how many rooms there are, and each place has at least two main rooms and six side rooms, not to mention the scale of 35 horse rooms and 29 Lu rice warehouses.
In addition to following the pattern of the three main halls of the front and the back, the two altars of "Shanchuan" and "Sheji" used for prayer and sacrifice are adjacent to each other from east to west, and are located on the right side of Miyagi, and the "Jongmyo" used to worship the ancestors is located on the left side of Miyagi, which is the "Left Ancestor Right Shrine".
In addition to the grand scale, the palace is also worth mentioning, there are two ponds in the palace, one behind the study hall and the other in the back garden, where lotus flowers are planted all over the pond, and the golden carp are stored in the pond, and when the pond is clattered, the goldfish will jump out of the water and compete for fish food.
It is said that the pond water is drawn from the Haizi that the concubine of the Yuan Dynasty often plays and plays, so there is no problem of complicated engineering, the soil and stone behind the pond are the mountain, the rockery pavilion by the pond reflects the water, the flowers and trees are clustered around, and it is pleasing to the eye.
It's funny to say, after hearing that the water diversion in Beiping is convenient, the king of Qin in Shaanxi was not convinced, and he didn't know which tendon he pumped, and he also introduced the water of the dragon's head canal into the palace of the king of Qin, forming a water surface that is three zhang deep, five zhang wide, and more than five miles in circumference - this thing has been violated, but because the emperor dislikes the royal history and the kings, the imperial historians also pretended not to know about this arrogant thing, until the prince of Qin was in Beijing, and he said that one day he leaked his mouth.
So King Qin worked hard to build a pool that he didn't appreciate for a year, haha, he was pushed down again, and he was reprimanded, it is estimated that after the prince of Qin returned to Xi'an, he must have been beaten so much that he didn't even know his mother.
