Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Visit to the Forbidden City
Yeyu led Yulu through the city gate in the middle of Tiananmen Square to the bottom of the city tower, Yulu wanted to go up to the city tower to have a look, and there was a charge for climbing the city tower, so Yeyu came to a ticket window under the city tower, but the ticket salesman told Yeyu that the city tower was temporarily closed today and was not open to the public! It may be that there is a need or some leaders to visit, so it is not open to the public today, and the night rain and rain and dew have to give up.

Yulu was waiting at the gate of the Forbidden City, and Yeyu ran to buy two tickets to the Forbidden City! I was very lucky today, because there are too many tourists who come to the Forbidden City, in order to protect the cultural relics, the Forbidden City has limited visitors to enter every day, but the night rain and rain and dew still bought tickets, and they were not restricted! Although the ticket is a bit more expensive, it costs 180 yuan a piece!
Yeyu and Yulu hurriedly passed the ticket gate with their tickets and entered this magnificent royal palace! As soon as you enter the door, you can see a magnificent red brick palace building one after another, which is scattered.
Located in the center of the central axis of Kyoto, the Forbidden City is the royal palace of the 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties of the Chinese Kingdom, the essence of the ancient court architecture of the Chinese Kingdom, an unparalleled architectural masterpiece, and the world's largest and most complete wooden structure ancient building! Thanks to the broad-mindedness and national righteousness of a general who was opposed at the time, Kyoto was peacefully liberated and this magnificent complex was preserved intact!
The Forbidden City covers an area of 720,000 square meters, with a construction area of 150,000 square meters, it is a rectangular city, 753 meters wide from east to west, and 960 meters long from north to south. The surrounding buildings are more than 10 meters high city walls and surrounded by a moat 52 meters wide, forming a city within a city. It has more than 70 large and small palaces, more than 9,000 houses, and is centered on the three major halls of Taihe, Zhonghe and Baohe. The palace buildings are all wooden structures, yellow glazed roofs, and blue and white stone bases!
The construction of the Forbidden City benefited from the Ming Dynasty Zhu Li's seizure of the throne and the relocation of the capital, only to come to Kyoto to build this magnificent building, the capital of Kyoto is also to reject Mongolia in the north, guard the frontier, and defend the land with the authority of the Son of Heaven, I have to admire the greatness and courage of Emperor Zhu Li! But can the border of Dingdu Kyoto really be defended? Just like the Great Wall, it has been built for thousands of years and has played a certain role, but for thousands of years, the Huaxia Kingdom has also suffered from foreign invasions, and how much has the Great Wall resisted? It's like the mighty Ming Dynasty was replaced by the Qing Dynasty a few hundred years later! History is up and down, who can tell which is stronger and which is weak? Who is right and who is wrong? The successor Qing Dynasty also only experienced a few hundred years and disappeared in the long river of history!
What can really hold the land? Yeyu also thought, maybe there is only the people's heart, the people's heart, right? For thousands of years, the Chinese people have had glory and suffering, but they have always survived tenaciously and maintained their national soul, integrity and unyielding!
The night rain and rain and dew follow the crowd of tourists, walking forward, the main gate is the noon gate, commonly known as the five phoenix tower, the place where people were killed in the past, how many rebels and thieves have bowed down here, and there are also many wronged loyal ministers who have been wronged here, but among the rights and wrongs, how many people can really say clearly, distinguish clearly? Just like the hero Yuan Chonghuan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, now the world thinks that he guarded the Liao land and protected the Ming Dynasty, if he was not unjustly killed, he could rewrite history! But is that really the case? Maybe not necessarily, he killed the general Mao Wenlong, causing Mao Wenlong's old troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and become the vanguard of the Qing Dynasty in the Central Plains, and then privately signed an agreement with Houjin, and the enemy soldiers surrounded Kyoto and did not come to the rescue, all of which made Emperor Chongzhen think of him at that time? As for what Yuan Chonghuan thought of himself at that time, maybe only he knows!
After the noon door, it came to the Qianqing Palace, the Qianqing Palace is the top of the yellow glazed tile heavy eaves hall, is located on the single-layer white marble pedestal, the construction area is 1400 square meters, a total of 14 rooms, from the table height of more than 20 meters, the eaves angle is nine, the upper layer of the eaves is single-warped double-ang seven step on the bucket arch, the lower layer is single-warped single-ang five step on the bucket arch, decorated with golden dragon and color painting, three crosses and six bowls of rhombic flowers partition doors and windows. It was so gorgeous that Yulu wanted to look in while marveling, but the door was blocked and could not enter, so she could only watch from afar! The dragon chair of the emperor is faintly visible, and there are many antique ornaments! Imagine the spectacular scene of the hundred officials coming to the court, but so what? A hundred years later, it's just a wave of loess!
The night rain and rain and dew followed the flow of people, all the way along the middle of the road through the Taihe Gate, watched the Taihe Palace, Zhonghe Shop, Baohe Palace, Yangxin Palace, Hongyi Pavilion, Changyin Pavilion, Wenyuan Pavilion, Chuxiu Palace, Cining Palace and other palaces, along the way, the night rain is tired, and the rain and dew is still interested. But Yulu felt that it was not interesting to follow the flow of people, so she gradually deviated from the main road and began to turn around the Forbidden City, and Yeyu had to follow all the way behind! Later, the rain and dew passed through a rockery, there are no tourists here, there are a few rows of palaces, but they are blocked by a row of fences, and there is an internal heavy ground on it, so you are not allowed to visit! This row of words instead aroused Yulu's interest, there was no staff guarding left and right, Yulu jumped over the fence, the night rain did not have the ability of Yulu, and if you wanted to stop Yulu, you couldn't, so you had to find a gap and squeeze in, keep up with Yulu! The two walked through the gate and entered a beautiful courtyard, which was planted with all kinds of flowers and trees, as well as a variety of rockeries composed of river stones like Suzhou Garden, which was different from the architectural style of the Forbidden City. It's just that suddenly, the keen rain and dew smelled a trace of unusual smell through the fragrance of flowers, it was demonic!
