The Forbidden City caught fire, and the world changed hands to the Forbidden City, which is today's Beijing. Located in the center of Beijing's central axis, it is the imperial palace of 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties of China, the essence of ancient Chinese Han court architecture, an unparalleled architectural masterpiece, and one of the world's largest and most well-preserved wooden structures.

It has more than 70 large and small palaces and more than 9,000 houses, with the three major halls of Taihe, Zhonghe and Baohe as the center.

The Forbidden City was built in 1406 A.D. (Yongle four years), 1420 (Yongle eighteen years) was basically completed, lasted 14 years, was built by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, built on the basis of the Yuan Dadu Palace.

。 The main buildings are the Taihe Palace, the Zhonghe Hall and the Baohe Hall (the place where the imperial examination is held).

In the end, it was determined that the total number of rooms in the Forbidden City was 8,703. According to legend, during the reign of the Yongle Emperor, the Yongle Emperor began to send his henchmen and cronies to various parts of the country to prepare for this huge project.

Among them, Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Shi Kui, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the left waiter of the Ministry of Household are simple. The place where these people are about to go is the mountains and mountains of Huguang and other places in Sichuan.

This time, they are going to mine Nanmu. The precious nanmu grows mostly in the precipitous places of the primeval forest, where tigers, leopards, snakes and pythons are often infested.

Officials and civilians risked their lives to go into the mountains to collect wood, and many lost their lives. There will be people in the future who will use it

"One thousand into the mountain, five hundred out of the mountain" to describe the cost of wood picking. This project can be said to be time-consuming and employing a lot of people, and this great and huge project will take up to ten years to prepare materials alone.

But fortunately and happily, in the past ten years, Beijing has gradually become the most lively and huge construction site in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

This is what we reproduce today with 3D animation, the scene of the construction site in Beijing when the Forbidden City was built.

The names of the famous construction sites that were born from this have survived to this day. In such a huge project, there are only a few people who can be recorded in history.

It is said that there are more than a million craftsmen who worked hard for this palace back then. There are also lucky people among them, two craftsmen Wang Shun and Hu Liang from Shanxi.

One day when Emperor Yongle inspected the construction site, he saw their paintings. The emperor held Wang Shun's shoulder and praised him.

In 1406 A.D., the Marquis of Taining, Chen Jue, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the renovation and construction of the city and palace of Beijing.

In an edict to Chen Jue, the Yongle Emperor said: "Be kind to the soldiers and migrant workers on the construction site, eat and rest regularly, and don't be overworked." You must be considerate of my thoughts of cherishing the people" Chen Jue supervised the work in Beijing until his death in 1419, and he did not wait for the day when the Forbidden City was completed.

According to historical records, the number of people involved in this project is innumerable, and the number of people who died is as many as ants in the sky.

Finally, in 1421 AD, the palace had just been built, and Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, held a large-scale congratulatory ceremony in the newly completed palace.

He ascended to the high and magnificent Fengtian Hall and received the bows of the ministers. Zhu Di and the ministers were excited and inspired by this glorious palace.

So great, huge, huge palace building was completed at this time, which is undoubtedly a great encouragement and courage to the people and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, they are all celebrating this great project with the whole country, the whole world is happy, the world is peaceful, sometimes, at home and abroad, all rejoicing, singing and dancing, everyone runs to tell each other away, all for this project and celebrate and applaud.

Because of the successful construction of the Forbidden City, the whole world celebrated at home and abroad, so before the completion of the Forbidden City in November of the 18th year of Yongle (1420), Zhu Di officially announced the capital of Beijing.

On the first day of the first month of the nineteenth year of Yongle (1421), the relocation of the Ming capital was completed, and Zhu Di specially held a celebration in the Forbidden City.

However, the heavens do not seem to favor the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, just built the great project of playing the Forbidden City, and the whole people are immersed in joy, however, I don't know whether it is a natural disaster, or fate, or the Forbidden City was originally a heavenly palace, but in May was struck by lightning and a fire, the first three halls were burned down.

In 1440 (the fifth year of orthodoxy), the first three halls and the Qianqing Palace were rebuilt. In 1459 (the third year of Tianshun), the West Garden was built.

In 1557 (the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing), the Forbidden City was fired, the first three halls, Fengtianmen, Wenwulou, and Wumen were all burned down, and in 1597 (the twenty-fifth year of Wanli), the Forbidden City was fired, and the first three halls and the last three palaces were burned.

This fire almost burned the huge project, so that this great project, which took more than ten years to complete, was almost destroyed, and the construction of this project, the countless labors and coolies that were consumed, and the hard work and dedication of those who lost their lives because of this Forbidden City almost did not exist.

Fortunately, the officials and ministers repaired it in time, so that this project would not really disappear from this world, and only then could today's great, standing in the east of the palace building shine again and the east, which can be regarded as a symbol and meaning of the Ming Dynasty.

Then, as the old saying goes: the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, and the rivers and mountains will still be the same country, but the character may not be that character.

Throughout the ages, it has always been the victors who write history, the victors who tell history, and the victors who tell history.

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are brave, and it is more difficult to keep a business than to start a business. As early as the Han Dynasty, this is how it came, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chased the Xiongnu to the north, went to the Xiongnu and the desert for decades or even hundreds of years, the Xiongnu did not dare to go south and herd horses, and did not dare to seek any conditions from the Han Dynasty, only obediently obey the life of the court.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is so heroic, he has used his own efforts to build the country all his life, and he has successfully defended his country, and only depends on how his next generation will defend this country.

Today, too, the Ming Dynasty drove away the Yuan soldiers and recovered the rich land of the Central Plains, so that the people's livelihood can be happy, the old have something to rely on, and they have strengths, spend their old age in peace, and enjoy their lives in peace.

However, days without war are always peaceful, days without war always make people lose their fighting spirit, and days without war always make people lose their sense of distress.

Therefore, in the days of peace, if you can only always be greedy for pleasure and lose your vigilance against the enemy, in the days of peace and pleasure, you will always have no fighting spirit and lose your understanding of the enemy, and in the days of peace and pleasure, if you are always self-righteous and lose your understanding of the enemy, you will always be found by the enemy to find opportunities, and it will also make those who plot to rebel turn around.

No, there are too many peaceful days, and peaceful days are comfortable, and you will always lose the eye to find danger.

Because the whole day is a day when the warbler sings and dances, the eye has long lost the ability to perceive everything, and when the whole day is a day of greedy pleasure, the eye will also lose the ability it should have.

Whether it is the ministers of the DPRK and China, or the soldiers at the border gates, or the ordinary people of Leba, they always lose their sense of danger.

When the Ming Dynasty was still enjoying itself, when the people were still immersed in the peaceful days and doing nothing, the Manchu people in the north were working hard and hard.

They are fierce soldiers, get up early every day and train in the dark, and they also want to taste what the world is like.

Because they always live in that small place, always in that place where species are scarce, there are always times when they are not satisfied, and they also want to come to a better place in the world to see.

They train with knives, shoot arrows on horseback, and strive to be the best in everything, striving to be unique in everything, and demanding that no one else be able to do everything.

This is where this nation is competitive, this is where this nation is strong, this is where this nation is bold, and at the same time, this is also where this nation is terrible.

Like the Mongols in those years, they all wanted to intercept the world, to unify the Central Plains, to realize the great ambition and hegemony of their own nation, and to create a dynastic empire of their own nation.

They trained hard, waiting for an opportunity to hibernate, and the Manchus were looking for an opportunity at this time, waiting for an opportunity for them to break the gate of the Central Plains in one fell swoop, and they were looking for an opportunity to defeat the Ming Dynasty with one blow.

Finally, the opportunity came, they did not wait in vain, everything seemed to come......
