After Niu Kelian opened the Xuanwu Gate, we glanced at each other and walked into the inner city that no one had visited for thousands of years.

As I have said before, the city in front of us is built on the basis of Chang'an City, which is built in equal proportions, and when you walk here, you will have a strong sense of historical vicissitudes.

And this sense of historical precipitation is so intoxicating that we even began to wonder for a while whether we had crossed into the legendary Tang Dynasty after opening the city gate.

Fortunately, we now have one more Niu Kelian in this line, he saw the intoxication on our faces, and began to consciously become a tour guide, and began to introduce the most representative capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City.

According to Niu Kelian said, after entering the Xuanwu Gate, we came to the inner city, and this inner city is the Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, this city is based on the Daxing City of the Sui Dynasty, originally named the capital, Tang Xuanzong called Xijing, Tang Suzong called Shangdu, is the capital of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and is also the largest capital in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Chang'an City has a new reform on the basis of inheriting the planning system of Daxing City in the Sui Dynasty, and has created a different capital planning system here, becoming the most standardized city in Chinese history.

Moreover, in the construction process of Chang'an City, not only from the perspective of architecture, but also according to the "Book of Changes" in the Qiangua Liuyao said, according to the characteristics of Chang'an Longshou Yuan can be divided into six hills, respectively, the palace city, the imperial city and the temple tower are arranged.

Walking in the inner city, Shen Lang couldn't stop the curiosity in his heart, looking left and right like a child, feeling very fresh about everything in front of him.

"Brother Chuan, what kind of buildings are on both sides of this road, I look like a private house, but are there still people living here?"

I smiled dumbly, Shen Lang really overestimated me, how could I know these things, I could only shrug my shoulders at Shen Lang, and set my eyes on Niu Kelian, if anyone can know the pattern here, then there is no second choice except Niu Kelian.

Niu Kelian couldn't help laughing when he heard Shen Lang's question, and patiently explained to Shen Lang the layout on both sides of the road.

"Brother Shen Lang, this is just a workshop built after Chang'an City, how can there be people living here if there is no daylight."

Niu Kelian said that the north-south street under our feet is Suzaku Street, and the inner city generally follows the ancient symmetrical pattern of the central axis, and this Suzaku Street is the central axis of the inner city, on its east and west sides, there are neatly arranged square markets with the same number and area.

The criss-crossing streets in the city divide the whole city into two cities, east and west, a total of one hundred and eight squares, which contain seasonal changes and the system of weekly rites, that is, to provide a place for the people to stay, but also fully embodies the design idea of the unity of nature and man in the construction design.

Shen Lang scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this, he was also a little embarrassed by his whimsical idea just now, he smiled at Niu Kelian, and then stopped talking and continued to move forward.

And as we went deeper and deeper into the inner city, new changes began to take place in front of us.

At the end of Suzaku Street, there is another castle tower, this castle tower is tall and magnificent, and everywhere reflects the mysterious and majestic royal style, but the most surprising thing is that there is only a castle tower here, and there is no city gate.

But luckily we don't have to guess where this is, because there's a huge plaque on the tower that clearly says where we've been.

Ziwei Palace.

Since we didn't know the roots, we didn't dare to move for a while, but stood at the tower and looked ahead, wanting to know what was behind the tower.

Behind the castle tower, we can clearly see the end of our trip, which is the Vientiane Shrine, but we find that the buildings behind the castle tower seem to look a little different from the architectural style we have seen before.

Niu Kelian saw the confusion in our eyes, and took the initiative to explain before I could ask.

"Don't worry, the leader is no longer in the shape of Chang'an City, but modeled on Ziwei Palace, so it looks slightly different from the previous building."

Qi Zhi held my arm with one hand, and led Wushuang who was unusually quiet here with the other, and after hearing Niu Kelian's explanation, she looked at me curiously, wanting to know where this Ziwei Palace was.

"Brother Chuan, I know about the Forbidden City, but what is this Ziwei Palace? The people who built this place are so amazing that they have combined all the buildings in so many places that I can't tell where is where. ”

Looking at Qi Zhi's cute appearance with a frown, I couldn't help but rub her little head and answer her with a smile.

"This is not the Forbidden City, the Forbidden City refers to the Forbidden City of the capital, but this Ziwei Palace refers to the Palace City of Luoyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

As the so-called ancient king, choose the world and establish the country, choose the country in the neutral palace, Ziwei Palace is Ziwei Yuan, is the middle wall of the three walls of the star officials in the sky, located in the center of the North Heaven, called the Middle Palace, there is Ziwei in the middle of the saying, in line with the royal concept of the unity of heaven and man to conform to the will of heaven. ”

"What the leader said is not bad at all, this is the palace city of the gods, and it is said that the Ziwei wall is where the emperor of heaven lives, so when Emperor Yang of Sui built Luoyang City, he named it after the heavenly palace, and named this palace city Ziwei."

Niu Kelian smiled with satisfaction when he heard my explanation of Qi Zhi, took my words, and began to talk about the so-called Ziwei Palace in detail.

Niu Kelian said that the layout here is clear, the layout of the periphery is Qianling style, and the Chang'an City we have just walked through is only the inner city, until we pass this city tower, it is considered to be the real core palace here.

The so-called Ziwei Palace is the Luoyang Palace City of the Tang Dynasty, also known as Ziwei City, it is the main palace and the symbol of power of the Sui, Tang and Wu Zhou empires, located in the northwest corner of Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and has been used for more than 530 years, becoming the place of governance of the Nine Dynasties, and is the palace that has been used for the longest time and the most dynasties in Chinese history.

At the time of the Tang Dynasty, the gods were divided into three palaces, imperial cities, and outer Guo cities, and this Ziwei Palace was one of the palace cities, which was connected to the imperial city in the south and the mountains in the north, and was adjacent to the Shangyang Palace in the west and the east city in the east, which was an excellent treasure place.

The building of Ziwei Palace is fully designed in accordance with the concept of the unity of heaven and man, and the tall buildings on the north and south axes are crowned with the word one day, especially after Wu Zetian's construction of the Shendu, the main hall of the central axis of Ziwei Palace has been changed to the tradition of being a single storey, so that the three-dimensional outline and style of the palace appear more brilliant and magnificent.

And the Vientiane Shrine we are looking for is the main hall of this Ziwei Palace.

Now that we know why this Ziwei Palace is here, we no longer worry about it, and at the same time, we no longer hesitate, and before Niu Kelian leads the way, we start the final journey of this exploration.

Although this place is solemn and the castle is unusually magnificent, but because the Vientiane Shrine is so important, we did not squint and went straight all the way, not paying the slightest attention to the scenery on both sides, but went straight to the Vientiane Shrine right in front of us.

Thinking about the journey to the final journey to Vientiane Shrine, I couldn't help but start to reverie in my heart.

What kind of scene will it be like in this Vientiane Shrine? Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Guanshan Chronicle Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
