Chapter 229 Xianwen Pavilion

The Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Palace is located at the foot of Phoenix Mountain in the south of Lin'an, Fang Ling said that she heard people say that Phoenix Mountain is the most feng shui place in Lin'an.

I walked and admired it carefully, it was almost a year, and this was the first time I deliberately tasted the scenery and objects of the palace.

There are many pavilions and palaces in the palace, five steps on the first floor, ten steps on the first floor, the corridor waist is manback, the eaves are high pecked, the small bridge is dotted with flowing water, rockeries and rocks, flowers everywhere are like frowning, the road is straight, the path is quiet, the end of a good scene, looking at it from a distance, Phoenix Mountain is mostly covered by tall houses, I naturally can't see where the feng shui of the palace is good, I only feel that this palace is like a huge garden-style palace, its scale far exceeds the Forbidden City of Yanjing in later generations, and the place of Lingxiu is also nothing more than that,

With my knowledge, I can't say one or two, maybe the Afang Palace back then was just like that, if Du Mu was reborn, I think I would write another "Song Gong Fu",

The left side of the Funing Hall is the Golden Water Pool, next to the Golden Water Pool is the Xianwen Pavilion, go closer, only to see the Xianwen Pavilion painted freshly, the Xianwen Hall on the door plaque has also been renamed the Xianwen Pavilion, giving people a new feeling, the Xianwen Pavilion is not big, the area is only a quarter of the Funing Palace, it is a smaller palace in the palace, as for the other similar five pavilions (the same kind of palace pavilion in the Northern Song Dynasty was built in Bianjing) I have not been there, even Zhao Yu's memory is also blank,

Entering the room, I took a general glance, and found that the number of books in this Xianwen Pavilion was more than that of the Imperial Study, but it was a little too messy.

"Xiao Qi, the imperial meal at noon is sent here today, and I want to take a look at the imperial pen and collection of books left here by the first emperor."

"Yes, official."

Fang Ling's words last night reminded me that I should better integrate into this era, and I should regard myself as a member of the Great Song Dynasty, so that I can truly lead the Great Song Dynasty to Zhongxing.

According to my previous habitual thinking, every time I go to a new place, I will buy a local map, first study the layout of the city, I looked for a while, only to find a few maps and introductions about Lin'an City and the Imperial Palace,

"Little Seven."

"Official, the little one is here."

"You go and pass on the concubine Niangniang to come here."

"Yes, official, the little ones will go."

After Xiao Qi left, I first opened the information about the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Palace.

The palace starts from Fengshan Gate in the east, west to the west foot of Phoenix Mountain, from Tiaobroom Bay to Wansongling in the north-south direction, with a radius of about 9 miles (about 1.5 million square meters), just saw the beginning, I exclaimed, sure enough, as I feel, it exceeds the area of the Forbidden City (about 720,000 square meters), there are nearly 200 palaces and pavilions and other buildings in the whole palace, among which the largest palace is the main hall of the palace, Daqing Palace, and the highest is Ningqian Palace (now renamed Funing Palace), The most peculiar thing is that the imperial garden in the palace can lead directly to the top of Phoenix Mountain, but I haven't even gone up.

Since Song Gaozong crossed to the south, the palace was built under the Phoenix Mountain, after several generations of Southern Song Dynasty emperors added and expanded, began to become the pattern of today, to the period of Li Zong, due to the war with Mongolia, the treasury is gradually empty, this is rarely expanded, the Southern Song Dynasty inherited the commercial atmosphere of the Northern Song Dynasty, the economy is developed, naturally there is money for the construction of the palace, according to the statistics of the first emperor, the whole palace has a total of 30 halls, 33 halls, 4 Zhai, 7 buildings, 20 pavilions, Xuan 1, Taiwan 6, Guan 1, Pavilion 90, which does not include the prince's East Palace, Emperor Li Zong in his later years had a description of the luxury of the palace, I Song Dynasty Palace, magnificent and magnificent, exquisite workmanship, gold and green pills, pavilions and pavilions, intertwined with each other, such as the palace in the sky,

I didn't know whether I was happy or worried, and I secretly said in my heart: "It turns out that this home of mine is so luxurious." ”

Just thinking about it, Xiao Qi came to report: "The official family, the concubine has arrived." ”

"Xuan."

Quan Jiu entered the interior and saluted: "Jiu'er has seen the official family. ”

"Jiu'er, you come and help me sort out the books of the Xianwen Pavilion."

"Yes." Quan Jiu looked at it and said inexplicably, "Official, the books here are stacked neatly." ”

"Jiu'er, what I mean is to reclassify them according to the categories of books and materials, and then arrange them, for example, these books and brochures are all about the palace, and they are put together."

"Yes, official, Jiu'er understands."

I smiled and praised: "Jiu'er is smart, just a little bit of it, but you can't be busy with so many materials and classics alone, these mornings, you can call Yu Xiurong and them to help." ”

"Well, the official family, it's okay to save the sisters from being bored."

After Quan Jiu and I finished lunch in Xianwen Pavilion, Quan Jiu said: "Official, Jiu'er is going to Ningkun Palace to play cards with the Queen Mother in the afternoon." ”

"Well, go ahead, save the old lady from being bored and panicking."

After saying goodbye to Quan Jiu, I opened the map of the palace and looked at it, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that the Southern Song Dynasty palace was vast, majestic, no wonder Mongolian Kublai Khan was so worried about this world of flowers, I had never been to most of the places in the palace, and when Zhao Yu was the crown prince, it was the same, except for when Song Lizong summoned, he would go in and out of Ningqian Palace and Daqing Palace, etc., and basically stayed in his east palace for the rest of the time, and was unwilling to walk around in the palace.

I compared the map and carefully studied the distribution of the palace.

Lin'an Imperial Palace is divided into five parts: the outer court, the inner court, the east palace, the academy and the palace garden, among which the outer court has the largest area, living in the south and west, the inner court is northeast, the east palace is in the southeast, the academy is the smallest, by the north gate, the palace garden is also in the north, it is generally the pattern of the front and the back of the palace, the palace is surrounded by the imperial city, the south gate of the imperial city is the main gate of Li, the north gate is the Hening gate, there is the Donghua gate in the east, there is the Xihua gate in the west, the palace city does not have four gates, only the north and south palace gates are opposite to the north and south gates of the imperial city, the buildings of the outer dynasty are mainly composed of the Daqing Palace, the vertical arch hall, The apse (also known as the Yanhe Palace), the Duancheng Hall is composed of four groups of palace groups, the Daqing Hall is located in the South Palace Gate, is the main place of the court, the vertical arch hall is north on the west side of the Daqing Palace, the apse is in the north of the vertical arch hall, the Duancheng Hall is in the east of the apse, the vertical arch hall is the palace of the Chang Dynasty, it is the place where the emperor deals with the regular government affairs and summons the ministers, the rain of the Chang Dynasty, or there is an accident, then change the apse, in case of taboo before the holiday and the ancestral shrine is divided, then the royal apse, the apse is for the emperor to sit and watch things, also known as the palace, its regulation is simple and simple, His Majesty steps and a level, small as ordinary people live, And Duancheng Hall is a multi-functional palace, as the Ming Hall suburb is called "Duancheng", Jiying Hall is one of the Duancheng Palace Group, there are many palaces in the inner court, the emperor's dormitory has Ningqian Palace (Funing Palace), Qinzheng Palace, Xianwen Palace, etc., with Funing Hall as the most, and Jiaming Hall is the emperor's dining place, the queen, the imperial concubine's dormitory is Huadian, Ningkun Palace, Ciyuan Palace, Renming Palace, Shouli Palace, etc., there are also the Emperor and the ministers in the palace to discuss the election of the Palace, the Chongzheng Hall and the Library Pavilion that hold lectures, etc., In the east palace, there are palaces used by the prince to study, such as Xinyi Hall, the sleeping hall Yi Zhai, and the garden buildings such as Boya Building, Xiuchun Hall, etc., the palace back garden is located in the north of the inner court, the main palace has Cuihan Hall, Guantang and Lingxu Building, Qingrui Hall and a number of pavilions, the academy is in the Hening Gate between the palace city and the imperial city,

After reading the introduction of the palace, I have a general understanding, if the Southern Song Dynasty palace can be handed down to future generations, it is really the first palace in the world, I then turned out the information about Lin'an City, with the experience of shopping last night, and then read the information, the two prove each other, it is indeed a lot clearer,

The street of Lin'an is five horizontal and four vertical pattern, Fang Ling said that the heavenly street is officially called the royal street in the Song Dynasty, it is the main street of Lin'an City, the total length is about 9 miles, Lin'an merchants are all over the city, from the outside of the Hening Gate to the view of the bridge, there is no one who does not buy and sell, this is also the scene of the royal street, the royal street belongs to the central comprehensive business district, which has special commodity markets, such as gold and silver trading, there are also general commodity markets, there are also "tile" many places, including teahouses, hotels, acrobatics, storytelling, sumo wrestling and other places, in addition, There are also four north-south roads similar to the direction of the royal street, there are also four east-west trunk roads, all of which are passages between the east and west city gates, and there are several sub-level streets, all leading to the central royal street, the whole city adapts measures to local conditions, forming a grid of different sizes, the road direction is oblique, and named after the "fang", the formation and prosperity of the street is the evidence of the collapse of the fang system in the Tang Dynasty, the official handicraft workshops of Lin'an are mostly concentrated in the north of the city Wulin Fang, Zhaoxian Fang, the official kiln of porcelain is under the Phoenix Mountain in the south of the city, called the inner kiln, Private handicrafts are all over the city, the silk spinning industry is mostly also a workshop of industry and business, concentrated in the middle of the Royal Street Guanxiang area, the middle section of the Royal Street is the largest book market in Lin'an, the engraving workshop is near the bridge of the shed, the cultural area composed of Guozijian, Taixue and Wuxue is close to the northwest corner of the West Lake in the Qiantang Gate,

The residential areas in Lin'an City are mainly in the middle of the city, and many mansions of dignitaries and nobles are located behind the commercial market next to the royal street.

Most of the land and water in the south of the Yangtze River are wrong, Lin'an is of course not excluded, there are four rivers in the city, among which the Yanqiao River is the main transportation river, the two banks along the river are mostly downtown, there are many rivers outside the city, connected with the Grand Canal, these rivers and lakes that intersect vertically and horizontally constitute a water transport network,

I couldn't help but secretly praise myself, this Southern Song Dynasty capital is worthy of the first city in the world, I looked at it for a while, got up and walked slowly in front of the bookshelf, from time to time took out a few books, and flipped through them at will,

The collection of books in the Xianwen Pavilion is rich, and although the important surnames and confidential surnames of its collection are not as good as the treasures of the Imperial Study, they are better in terms of content, numerous, and all-encompassing, almost equivalent to the comprehensive library of later generations.

No wonder the emperor Yanjing of the previous dynasties wants to arrange someone to be responsible for sorting out, the content is indeed too much, now, I have to arrange work for my concubines, so many books or imperial pens, etc., it is impossible for me to read them all, I can only pick out what is useful to me to read, and this selection work will be handed over to Quan Jiu and them to do, I will let them make excerpts for each book, I can ask them what information I need, but the name of this Xianwen Pavilion scholar is not their turn,

I walked to the innermost bookshelf, the classics here are not books, most of them are Song Lizong's imperial pen, I picked up the top volume, opened it and saw that it was Song Lizong's preface to "Chunyou Lin'an Zhi", looking at it, I suddenly felt that the word "Beijing" never appeared in the whole article, not only this article, but also the imperial pen of Song Lizong that I saw in the past, all about Lin'an, are called "walking in the place", and not calling it the capital,

Walking in the place is the name of the place where the ancient emperors went,

I continued to read the first emperor's imperial pen information about Lin'an, and on one of them I finally saw Song Lizong's handwriting, "Lin'an, my great Song Dynasty trip is here, since Emperor Gaozong crossed to the south, with Lin'an as the line, the first emperor is not called the capital, this is the principle of my dynasty, my dynasty has four capitals in the east and west, north and south, only Bianliang is the foundation, most of the people are content with the status quo, accustomed to Lin'an as the capital, however, if I take this as the capital again, don't I really recognize that the northern Central Plains is someone else's territory." ”
