Chapter 6: The Shock of the Forbidden City

The two men walked out of the square with the flow of people, walked south to the front door, saw a KFC restaurant, and walked in.

The cozy Western-style restaurant is simple, comfortable, convenient and fast.

The two of them each asked for a breakfast and made it face to face. Pick up a leisurely mood, take a break from your lazy and tired body, and recover your energy. Second, chew slowly, fill your stomach and prepare for the future.

"How is it, how do you feel about these handsome soldiers?" Wen Biquan picked up the coffee and took a sip, and asked with a smile in his eyes, "Do you want to marry an excellent soldier brother in the future?" ”

"It's really good. If you have the opportunity, you can still consider it, and let it be! He Wanwan thought seriously for a while, and then asked with a light smile: "Don't just talk about me, how are you, are you tempted?" ”

"Well, I'm a little timid, I'm afraid. Besides, I can't support the heart of that great military wife, envy is not enough, so forget it. I should find the right one for me, for me to ravage! Wen Biquan's expression darkened, and his eyes lit up in an instant, "It seems that everything is fateful, sometimes there will be in life, and there is no time in life to force it!" ”

"You little Weixin, if you want to be in the past, you will be labeled as a feudal superstition and criticize everywhere, see how arrogant you are?" He Wanwan smiled and shook her head, "But who can say that what you said is wrong?" There is already the knowledge of metaphysics, and what has been passed down from the ancestors can it have no value? ”

"Isn't it? Those things don't sound reliable, and there is no way to verify them with reproducibility and reproducibility like science, and there are many accidental things, but it is also a theory, and it is also a way to deal with problems. Wen Biquan couldn't stop when he was excited, "It's like a jigsaw puzzle, first find a number of unrelated things, store a certain amount of information, and then deduce and spell out the whole fact or theoretical truth according to the relevant connections between things." In fact, this is a macro deduction methodology that is different from the Western micro deduction theory. The application of computer big data will certainly be able to deduce and confirm the correctness of the theory of the ancestors. At that time, who still said anything superstition? Only those who don't understand think it's superstitious! ”

"People should build a building from the bottom to the top, fall steadily and steadily, steadily, and steadily, and the foundation can be high and stable. Are you building a pavilion from top to bottom? No one dares to stay! He Wanwan smiled and quipped, "So scientific methodology is still dominated by society, and you are more suitable for art, rising to the height of philosophy, and further verification." No one is forcing you to believe it, and no one is forcing you not to believe it! ”

"Of course, let's wait and see, who is better?" Wen Biquan stuck out his tongue and said mischievously, "Don't say it, it's not too early, let's rush over early." ”

The two smiled and unhurriedly put away their mobile phones, put on their backpacks, and walked out of the KFC restaurant.

The two returned to Tiananmen Square, continued forward, crossed Chang'an Avenue, and walked across the white Jinshui Bridge to the bottom of Tiananmen Square.

The eyes are full of high red walls, looking up is a big statue of Chairman Mao Zedong, and the majestic eaves of Tiananmen Square must be seen only when you look up, but that is no longer the point, the focus is on the high, red, and deep doorway that we have to pass through.

When you walk into the doorway facing the castle tower, you have a feeling of traveling through time and space into another space back to ancient times, even if there are still people in the same modern clothes as you, but you can still strongly feel the heavy vicissitudes of history.

Yes, this is the feeling, which is more solemn than raising the national flag and playing the national anthem in the morning, and makes people's hearts solemn from the inside out.

Really, the two of them walked in with a heavy heart, and there was no leisure and relaxed mood at all, Wen Biquan tightened He Wanwan's arm.

Walking through Tiananmen Square, you will see two rows of green trees planted on both sides of the road, and your mood is instantly much more comfortable. In front of me is an extremely wide square, and the end gate in front of it is far away, this distance only gives people the beauty of ancient Chinese architecture, and does not give people too much sense of oppression.

But the closer you go, the stronger the sense of oppression.

Under the guidance of this mood, neither of them could happily appreciate the beautiful ancient architecture of China.

The two of them stood still, adjusted their moods, and smiled at each other. Wen Biquan shook his head like a ghost, and felt that he would be born, "I kind of know how the red and yellow on the national flag came from, and that's where they come from." Look at the red walls and golden roofs, isn't that the main style of the imperial power? Therefore, the combination of red and yellow on the national flag is a symbol of imperial power, and even the sportswear of the Chinese sports delegation with the Olympic Games is red and yellow, doesn't that also represent power? Implying 'I'm good at it'? I used to think that the combination of red and yellow represented brightness, brightness, and progress, just like the sun. ”

"Okay, don't express your feelings, it's the noon gate ahead, this kind of hierarchical place, you can only feel more and more oppressive, this is exactly the effect the emperor wants." If you want to enjoy the relaxed kind of ancient Chinese buildings, you can only go to see the Suzhou Gardens, which is not the case here. He Wanwan glared at Wen Biquan, and then entered the state of brushing the scanner.

The two soon came to the noon gate, looked around, and suddenly felt as if they had entered an encirclement, and their bodies trembled unconsciously. That's because the front three sides are surrounded by high red palace walls, and only the back side is open. In it, there is only the feeling of being slaughtered, "I'm so scared!" Wen Biquan stuck out his tongue and grabbed his best friend's arm.

Looking up, there is a regular, heavy, atmospheric heavy eaves of the palace roof design on the palace gate upstairs, like a high rostrum, no wonder this is the emperor issued an edict, civil and military officials listened to the order, ordered to go out and defend against foreign enemies. "Well, it's really imposing, full of momentum!"

As tourists enter the noon gate, this is a real entry into the Forbidden City, that is, the Forbidden City, the modern Palace Museum.

Looking around, the eyes are full of red and yellow combinations, and the dazzling golden statue under the blue blue sky is paved with gold on the roof, which is brilliant. And the red and blood-like towering palace walls are all warning the world to control your emotions and restrain your covetous mood, this is not a place for you to talk and look casually, a kind of tension and excitement are born together. It's no wonder that people who have walked into the Forbidden City will have the dream of becoming an emperor and compete for the world for that dragon chair.

The Forbidden City was built in the Ming Dynasty in 1406 AD, and since then, the emperor has intended to strengthen the rule of imperial power, from top to bottom, and even penetrate into all links, system, architecture, and all aspects of life are reflected.

From this point on, the whole Chinese people were political people, not free and sound people. There are too many political factors in people's minds, and there is too much political influence. Everyone is born for rights and busy for life!

It is no wonder that the Suzhou Garden, which is also the essence of ancient Chinese architecture, will retain that precious leisure, which is the precious spiritual wealth left by the Chinese nation to future generations.

It is no wonder that Chinese people travel to small European countries and are intoxicated by the leisurely, slow-paced, beautiful and wealthy environment of the people there.

Chinese are just too rushed, rushing for life, rushing for life, and have lost that leisure need. Leisure is the biggest demand of Chinese in the future.

The Forbidden City is a large courtyard house where the Ming and Qing dynasties worked, lived and lived, and is the largest and most complete wooden ancient building complex in the world. The former dynasty was the place where the emperor went to work, held ceremonies, and held various state events, like a big living room. Behind is the inner court, where the emperor lives, eats, drinks, pulls, and sprinkles, like a super grand bedroom. Surrounded by a 10-meter-high city wall, there is a 52-meter-wide tube river around the city outside, covering a total area of more than 720,000 square meters, it is really a super large royal residence, a super large courtyard, and a super good family.

"I really admire the people of the Qing Dynasty, you said that he can also live in the courtyard houses left by the Ming Dynasty? Still living in such peace of mind? Aren't they accustomed to living in pocket houses, 10,000 kangs? Those old exquisiteness can actually be changed? I really convinced them. Wen Biquan muttered dissatisfied.

"I have also been to the Shenyang Forbidden City in the Qing Dynasty, and the Dazheng Hall originally established by Nurhachi is an octagonal heavy eaves and spire-style pavilion building, which comes from the tent of the nomads, like a fixed tent." He Wanwan said leisurely, "The layout of his project in this phase is simply divided into the left and right sides, neatly arranged Ten Kings Pavilions, and each of the Eight Banners Baylor King lives in a pavilion to discuss politics. Behind the main hall is a luan garage. In this way, how can there be a shadow of the courtyard? ”

"Later, the second phase of the Huang Taiji construction had the shadow of the Forbidden City, there were positive compartments, there were main and secondary, arch guard center, but it had not yet reached the eaves through the ridge, and it could barely be regarded as a courtyard at this time." He Wanwan said lightly, "Qingning Palace still retains the traditional architectural style of the Manchu people, with tube houses and 10,000-character kangs. ”

"Looking at the third phase of Qianlong's project, there are high walls and eaves and ridges...... No wonder Kangxi likes the culture of Jiangnan water towns very much, and he can't put it down when he builds a Changchun Garden...... It seems that the people of the Qing Dynasty liked the Central Plains culture very much, and they didn't want to learn it. He Wanwan pursed her lips with a look of disdain, "But then again, the great nations have merged, and they are all our ancestors." The Qing people also have their advantages, and that kind of toughness is integrated into our blood, making the whole nation stronger. Otherwise, relying on the bloodline inheritance of the Central Plains alone is too weak, and sooner or later it will be eliminated. ”

"Yes, it's all a family, each has its own strengths and weaknesses, learn from each other's strengths, or get along in harmony! It's best for the family not to fight among themselves, otherwise it will really let the onlookers take advantage of the situation. Wen Biquan nodded, admiring and approving.
