All the way to the whip, in May, Zhu Di arrived in Beijing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When Erhong got out of the carriage and returned to Beijing after a few years of absence, she was completely shocked by the scene in front of her.

Once a barren land, now the lofty pavilion is towering, the floor is high, the face of the palace is embraced, the road lingers, the green pine whisks the eaves, the jade fence is around, the golden glow beast face, the head of the color radiant, the exquisite chisel.

She was really excited. Although in modern times, she also traveled to the Forbidden City in Beijing.

But after all, it is the vicissitudes of the Forbidden City after hundreds of years of wind and rain, and I don't have much impression after a hurried visit.

The newly built Beijing City, who has ever seen it?

Who is qualified to witness a new imperial city!

Today, she decided to carefully and little by little keep this new Beijing city in mind.

At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing palace construction project, Taining Hou Chen Jue, first reported to Emperor Yongle the overall layout of the Beijing Imperial Palace.

"Return to the Emperor. The imperial city of Beijing takes the Fengtian Temple as the center, and the two halls on the left and right of the Fengtian Palace are the Huagai Palace, and the pilgrimage hall. The south of Fengtian Temple is Fengtian Gate, and its left and right are the east and west corner gates. The south of Fengtianmen is the noon gate, and the south of the noon gate is the Chengtian gate. In the north of Fengtian Palace, there are apse, cool hall, warm hall and Renshou, Jingfu, Renhe, Wanchun, Yongshou, Changchun and other palaces. There are more than 1,630 houses in total. ”

"Okay, take me to watch them one by one." Today's Zhu Di seems to be like a child full of excitement and expectation.

As a result, a large group of people surrounded Emperor Yongle and entered the imperial city.

The first thing that catches people's eyes are two big red doors, with a sign hanging on the top of the door, surrounded by gold edges, and engraved with two eye-catching gold characters "Noon Gate".

The east and west sides of the noon gate are connected by a 12-meter-high city platform, surrounding a square square. In the middle of the heavy building, is 9 rooms wide hall, the top of the heavy eaves of the palace, on the left and right stretching out of the two que city walls, built the pavilion of the eaves through the ridge of the four, the bright corridor is connected, there are 13 rooms of the palace house in each of the two wings stretch out to the south, there are tall corner pavilions in the four corners, the auxiliary wing is the main hall.

Erhong knows that this shape of the gatehouse is called "Que Gate", which is the most advanced form of ancient Chinese gate.

Within the noon gate, there is a vast large courtyard, among which there is an arc-shaped inner Jinshui River across the east and west, the north is the gate of the palace of the outer dynasty - Fengtian Gate, and there are court rooms and corridors on the left and right. There are 5 bridges on the Jinshui River, equipped with white marble railings, which rotate with the river and resemble a jade belt.

Inside the Fengtian Gate, there is an open courtyard of about 30,000 square meters, which is the center of the outer courts: the Fengtian Palace, the Huagai Palace, and the Pilgrimage Hall, which is also a complete copy of the three major halls of the Nanjing Imperial Palace.

They are different in height and shape, and the roof form is also different, which is rich and diverse but not rigid.

"This Fengtian Temple is really exactly the same as my Nanjing. I am very relieved. Zhu Di, accompanied by the group, walked into the main hall of Fengtian Hall with flying eyebrows.

Erhong followed closely, standing outside the hall, looking at it, the first feeling was exactly the same as the Nanjing Imperial Palace, but because it was brand new, it looked more magnificent and colorful.

The main hall of Fengtian Hall should be more than 2,000 square meters. There is a long ridge on the roof from east to west, and there are two oblique vertical ridges before and after, so that the roof of five ridges and four slopes is constituted.

There are 10 beasts in the corner of the eaves, namely dragons, phoenixes, lions, heavenly horses, seahorses, sinisters, fish, pigs, bullfights, and Xingshi, these strange royal totems, Erhong feels a little unbelievable.

Listen to Taining Hou Chen Jue's introduction, there are 72 large pillars with a diameter of 1 meter in the hall, of which 6 are the dragon pillars with pink gold paint around the throne, each of which is shining with the brilliance of real gold and silver, it is really magnificent, and the eyes of the two red are blind.

Walk into the main hall, in the middle is a square platform of about two meters high vermilion lacquer, on which is placed the throne of the carved dragon with gold lacquer, behind is the carved dragon screen, there are six tall golden pillars of the dragon on both sides of the square platform, and a vigorous golden dragon is coiled on each pillar; Looking up at the top of the hall, there is a huge carved dragon pan dragon in the central caisson well, and a large silver-white bead hangs from the dragon's mouth, surrounded by six small beads, and the dragon head and the orb are facing the golden throne below.

The throne is painted gorgeously, bright and pleasing to the eye, painted with red and yellow gold dragon patterns, with double dragons playing with pearls, and a single dragon flying; There are walking dragons, sitting dragons, flying dragons, descending dragons, and the dragons are also lined with flowing clouds and flames around them, which is really colorful.

Ah, this Jinluan Hall is really much more magnificent than the scene that modern people see when they go to visit.

In modern times, she and a group of tourists wore a few sets of emperor and empress costumes in the Jinluan Palace, and took some photos to commemorate the occasion.

But now, this brand new palace, so grand and magnificent, that I am afraid that no photograph of modern people can record it!

At this time, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di suppressed the excitement in his heart, walked on the dragon chair, and sat upright.

Erhong only felt that the momentum of the king who looked down on the world was rushing towards him.

"Long live my emperor, long live." All the ministers below hurriedly and solemnly bowed.

"Your Majesty, the Xuanwu Gate, Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate will be built in the future. The north of the Xuanwu Lord will be the daily access control in the palace. Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate echo each other from afar, there is a stele stone outside the door, and the Jinshui River flows south and north to south in the door. ”

Taining waited for Chen Qi to continue to introduce the upcoming project to the emperor with great interest.

Behind the Fengtian Palace, it is the canopy hall, the plane is square, the corridor is on all sides, and the gold bricks are paved on the ground, but it is only about a quarter of the size of the Fengtian Palace.

The four corners of the yellow glazed tile single eaves gather the spire, and there is a gilded treasure top in the middle. The top of the four ridges is gathered into a pointed shape, and the top of the bronze tire gilt spherical treasure is called the four-corner cuspherical type in architectural terms.

It is a place where the emperor will take a break and practice the etiquette before going to the Fengtian Hall to receive salutes from cabinet ministers and officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The temple is behind the canopy hall. The plane is rectangular, there is a positive ridge in the middle of the roof, there are 2 vertical ridges before and after, and a fork ridge is obliquely out in the lower part of each vertical ridge, together with the main ridge, the vertical ridge, the fork ridge is a total of 9, and the architectural term is called the mountain type.

It is the place where the emperor gives a banquet to the princes of the foreign clan on Chinese New Year's Eve every year, and it is also the place where the imperial examination is held, so the area is twice as large as the Huagai Hall.

Fengtian Palace, Huagai Palace, and Pilgrimage Hall are all built on the 8-meter-high I-shaped pedestal made of white marble, and it looks like the fairy gate of the Qiong Palace in mythology.

The three layers of the abutment are overlapped, and the upper edge of each platform is decorated with white marble carved railings, pillars and dragon heads, and among the three platforms, there are three layers of stone steps carved with dragons, which set off the "royal road" with waves and flowing clouds.

"Wow, my God, I don't know how many of these railings, pillars and dragon heads there are, I'm afraid I can't count them." Erhong couldn't help blurting out.

"Oh." Zhu Di heard Erhong's exclamation and groaned for a while, as if he was also interested in this issue.

At this time, Chengshan Hou Wang Tong, who was waiting for Chen Qi in Taining, hurriedly played: "How can you count it? On the 25,000-square-meter table, there are 1,415 open-carved railings, 1,460 pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes, and 1,138 dragon heads. ”

"Okay, good, even the deputy of the project has such a precise grasp of the construction work, it seems that each of you is a good steward of me, this brick and tile of the imperial city of Beijing, you have all done it in your heart, it is rare. Reward! Seeing such a careful engineering command, Zhu Di smiled even more heartily.

"Your Majesty, have you noticed anything magical about this beautiful white marble countertop?"

At this time, another deputy of this project, An Yuanhou Liusheng, interjected.

Let's take a closer look, under the railing of the white marble countertop, there is a small hole carved; The dragon head sticking out from under the watchpost also carved small holes.

"Every rainy season, 3 rainwater is discharged from each small hole layer by layer, the water flows out from the faucet, and the dragon sprays water, the emperor can imagine, what a spectacular scene at this time!"

"Oh, it's a big fountain." Erhong felt that this An Yuan waited for Liu Sheng to be a bit of an invitation.

But judging from Emperor Yongle's expression, this "Thousand Dragons Squirting Water" must have a great origin. (To be continued.) )
