3. References:

The total area of the Forbidden City is 720,000 square meters, and the current non-open area is nearly 400,000 square meters. The Forbidden City can be simply divided into three lines: eastern, central and western. At present, it has been opened to the middle line, where the Taihe Palace, the Zhonghe Palace, and the Baohe Hall are gathered; The west road is only open to the north; And the East Road is not open at all.

There are 1 million cultural relics in the collection of the Forbidden City; According to statistics, there are less than 10,000 pieces of cultural relics in the museum's collection.

The most important palace on the west road of the Wenhua Palace

The most important palace on the west road is the Wenhua Palace, in terms of architectural layout, it is the right wing of the three major halls of the Forbidden City, the Taihe Palace, the Zhonghe Palace, and the Baohe Palace, and in terms of function, it is the supplement of the three major halls.

When the Wenhua Hall was first built, it was the main hall of the princes, and the roof was covered with green tiles. Later, because the princes were very young and could not handle political affairs, they were officially changed to the emperor's palace in the fifteenth year of Jiajing and replaced with yellow tiles. The emperor delivered his imperial treatise here, and the famous sutra ceremony was held in the Wenhua Hall. The "Sutra Feast" was a pre-imperial lecture for the emperor to study the scriptures and history. The emperor wanted to write the imperial treatise and explain his experience in studying the "Four Books and Five Classics". The ministers knelt in front of the emperor and listened to the emperor's imperial commentary.

The cultural literacy of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty was very profound, and the emperor spoke happily, and when he was emotional, he would also name the ministers to debate. Then, the emperor gave everyone a cup of tea and rested for a while. Zuihou, the emperor led everyone to open the back door of the Wenhua Palace, came to the Wenyuan Pavilion behind the palace, and rewarded the ministers to read the books in the pavilion as a special reward for the ministers who were fortunate enough to participate in the ceremony.

Wuyingdian once held Li Zicheng's enthronement ceremony.

Wuying Hall was built in the early Ming Dynasty and corresponds to the Wenhua Palace. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor lived in the palace and summoned the ministers in the Wuying Palace, and then moved to the Wenhua Palace. During the Chongzhen period, the ceremony of the queen's birthday celebration was held in this hall. Li Zicheng, the leader of the peasant rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty, invaded Beijing in the spring of 1644 and established the Dashun regime. However, due to the slackness of the army's morale and the inability to resist the Qing soldiers entering the customs, the enthronement ceremony was hastily held at the Wuying Hall on April 29, and the next day he was evacuated from Beijing.

Wu Yingdian Book Bureau out of the "palace book"

At the beginning of the Qing army's entry into the customs, the regent Dolgon arrived in Beijing first, and used the Wuying Hall as the place of the council. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Wuying Hall was used as the emperor's palace. In the eighth year of Kangxi, due to the maintenance of Taihe Palace, Qianqing Palace and other places, Emperor Kangxi once moved to Wuying Palace.

From the nineteenth year of Kangxi (1680), the Qing court set up an engraving institution in Wuyingdian, that is, Wuyingdian Bookstore, until the end of the Qing Dynasty. In the thirty-eighth year of Qianlong (1773), he ordered people to print 138 kinds of typesetting of rare books extracted from the "Yongle Canon", and gave the name "Wuyingdian Collector's Edition Series", which was known as "Palace Book". The content involves all kinds of scriptures, histories, children, and collections, and embodies the collective wisdom of the Qing Dynasty's inner court ministers.

The collection of treasures in the Jianfu Palace Garden was destroyed by fire

Jianfu Palace Garden, commonly known as the West Garden, was built in the fifth year of Qianlong. The scale is second only to the Imperial Garden on the central axis. However, in 1923, the entire garden of Jianfugong Palace was destroyed by an unknown fire. How could such a large-scale fire occur in the Forbidden City, which has always had complete fire prevention measures? Now the analysis believes that the eunuchs in the palace stole the treasures, and they were afraid of being discovered, so they set fire to the palace.

According to historical records, Emperor Qianlong was very satisfied with the garden of Jianfu Palace and collected his treasures here. Jiaqing ordered them all to be sealed. From then on, the garden area served as a collection of royal treasures until the fire of 1923.

The main building is known as the "labyrinth"

Other gardens in the Forbidden City, such as the Qianlong Garden and the Cining Palace Garden, are too royal, with a symmetrical layout and a little dull. In contrast, the Jianfu Palace Garden is much more lively, it integrates the northern and southern garden styles, and the atmosphere of life is stronger.

Yanchun Pavilion, the main building of Jianfu Palace, has a very high aesthetic value, and its biggest feature is that the interior decoration is very ingenious. The whole Yanchun Pavilion is divided into three layers, the middle is the dark layer, the partition and connection between the layers are virtual and real, complicated and complicated, so it is called the maze building.

It took a lot of effort to restore the drawings

The first phase of the reconstruction of Jianfu Palace started on May 31, 2000, after nearly 80 years, how can we ensure that the restoration is the original Jianfu Palace garden? The China Foundation for Cultural Heritage Conservation, which donated the restoration project, once told the media: "For this reconstruction, we have made very detailed reconstruction drawings. The basis for this drawing is: 1. A black-and-white photograph from Pu Yi's English teacher, Johnston's book "Dusk in the Forbidden City", was taken just the day after the fire. 2. Siren, a European, took many photos of the Forbidden City, one of which was one of the nine buildings in the Jianfu Palace Garden that he photographed in 1900. 3. A very large painting in the collection of the National Palace Museum in Taiwan is a painting of this garden. Through contact, the National Palace in Taiwan took a photo and handed it over to the reconstruction project. Fourth, Qianlong later built the Qianlong Garden in the east of the Forbidden City, because he liked Jianfu Palace very much, so he built the 9 buildings in this garden as it was, which was basically the same as Jianfu Palace. The most important point is that the traditional Chinese ancient architecture is very regular, and in the Yongzheng era there was a book and diagram that explained these rules and practices in great detail. ”

The concept of non-open zones will be here to stay for a long time

Although the Wuying Palace, the Wenhua Palace, the Jianfu Palace Garden and other buildings will be unveiled to the world around October 2005, the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Palace Museum, there are still so many areas of the Weishenme Palace that have not been opened? Luo Zhewen replied: "There are three reasons why these areas are not open: repairs, offices, and warehouses. Repair is the main reason. ”

Luo Lao continued: "Because the renovation of the Forbidden City must be carried out carefully, on the one hand, it needs to formulate a detailed plan, and on the other hand, it needs huge funds. ”

In 2002, the head of the Forbidden City revealed to Sanlian Life Weekly: "The funding (for the overhaul of the Forbidden City) is about 100 million yuan per year from now until 2008, and the funding after 2008 will be set separately." The person in charge of the relevant department of the Forbidden City once said that "the concept of the non-open area of the Forbidden City will exist for a long time".
