If Dao Yan wants to leave a line, it must be in the most eye-catching place, just like the secret of this buried treasure, everyone can see it, but no one has ever really paid attention to it, not to mention that since Dao Yan wants to show his merits, he will definitely not hide his great achievements secretly in a place in the Forbidden City that is not easy to be noticed.

This place must be the most conspicuous and eye-catching place in the entire Forbidden City, where Dao Yan can see that everyone in the world can see, and has been waiting for someone to discover the secret.

"The most conspicuous and eye-catching place......" Nangong Yi listened to my words, slowly turned around, and pointed to the palace behind her. In the entire Forbidden City, there should be no more important and eye-catching place than this palace. ”

We look back at the palace pointed to by Nangong Yi, the appearance is grand and extraordinary, and its interior is also a glorious scene, the emperors of the past dynasties sit on the golden luan throne in the middle of the palace, the top of the head is a brilliant caisson well, and the foot is a golden brick that is smooth like ink jade, majestic and brilliant.

"The Jinluan Palace is the largest of the outer court halls of the Forbidden City, located in a prominent position on the north-south axis of the Forbidden City, and it is also the first place where the entire Forbidden City began to be built. Nangong Yi said to us unhurriedly.

Jinluan Hall is the essence of the entire Forbidden City palace building, is the place where the emperor ascended the throne and held the ceremony, its significance is extraordinary in the Forbidden City, we re-examine this majestic and magnificent palace, stand outside and see, there is a wide platform in front of the Jinluan Palace, called the platform, the platform is furnished with a sundial, Jialiang each, a pair of copper turtles and copper cranes, and eighteen copper tripods.

Turtle, crane is a symbol of longevity, sundial is the ancient timer, Jialiang is the standard measuring instrument of ancient times, both are symbols of imperial power, His Royal Highness is a layer of white marble stone carving pedestal, surrounded by a railing, under the railing there is a stone carving dragon head for drainage, every rainy season, can present the wonder of a thousand dragons spitting water.

The double dragon in front of the palace plays the pearl royal stone, its bead is auspicious Ruyi pearl, among the double dragons, one represents the emperor, the other represents the emperor, the emperor is ordered by the sky, the meaning of the sky, so that the wind and rain in the country are smooth, the country is peaceful and peaceful, the mountain and sea pattern below the double dragon is a symbol of eternity.

The decoration inside the Jinluan Hall along the steps is very luxurious, the eaves are applied with dense buckets, the indoor and outdoor beams are decorated with Hexi paintings, the upper part of the doors and windows is embedded with a rhombic pattern, the lower part is embossed with a cloud dragon pattern, and the joints are equipped with a gilded copper leaf engraved with dragon patterns.

The gold bricks in the hall are paved with the ground, the throne is set up in the bright room, the throne is arranged on both sides of the huge pillar of the golden cloud dragon pattern, the gold leaf pasted adopts two colors of depth and light, so that the pattern is prominent and distinct, there are four pairs of furnishings on both sides in front of the throne, the treasure elephant, the end of the road, the crane and the incense pavilion.

The treasure elephant symbolizes the stability of the country and the consolidation of the political power, Luduan is a legendary auspicious animal, the crane symbolizes longevity, and the incense pavilion means stability.

In the middle of the ceiling above the throne is placed a caisson shaped like an umbrella cover rising upward, and in the middle of the caisson is carved a dragon lying down, with a dragon head poking down and a jewel in the mouth.

The golden Nine Dragons throne and screen in the hall are placed on a golden pedestal and placed between the six golden pillars of the dragon to highlight the emperor's supremacy status.

The Xuanyuan mirror is installed in the middle of the ceiling of the temple, and it is a well-shaped building decorated with dragon algae, which is called a caisson well.

In the center of the caisson mirror, there is a relief dragon, the mouth is hollow with a copper tire, and the ball is coated with mercury, and this ball is the Xuanyuan mirror.

"If Dao Yanzhen left clues about the treasure, it is most likely this place." Nangong Yi turned back to us and said.

"The Jinluan Palace was built in Zhu Di, but the emperors of later generations have repaired and rebuilt, even if Dao Yan really has a wire left, it must have been damaged and cannot be traced." Yun Duruo looked back and forth for a long time and said.

"Dao Yan can help Zhu Di ascend the throne and become emperor, and ensure its permanence, he will definitely consider this aspect of the line, and it must be a place that will not be damaged." Gu Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully.

"But this palace looks a little bigger than the others, and there is nothing different about it." Han Yu frowned and said in surprise. "Since the Jinluan Hall has been rebuilt many times, where will Dao Yan leave the line without being damaged?"

"All the palace buildings in the Forbidden City are similar, but when it comes to differences, this Jinluan Palace is really different from other palaces." Nangong Yi suddenly said thoughtfully.

"What's the difference?" I asked curiously.

"There are also many digital secrets hidden in the architecture of the Forbidden City, and many people have tried to decipher the secrets left behind the construction of the Forbidden City from these numbers for several years, and explore the hidden meaning behind these numbers." Nangong Yi explained unhurriedly.

"What other digital secrets are hidden in this Forbidden City?" Yun Duruo asked in surprise.

"This Jinluan hall is nine rooms wide and five rooms deep, and the ratio of the two is nine to five, not to mention that many places in this hall are built according to this ratio." Nangong said calmly.

"I heard my grandfather tell me about these numbers, he said that the numbers are divided into yin and yang, odd numbers are yang, even numbers are yin, the number of palaces in the Forbidden City is yang, and the number of palaces in the back bed is yin." Gu Xiaoxiao took Nangong Yi's words and said. "Nine is the highest in the yang number, and five is in the middle, so in ancient times, nine and five symbolized the authority of the emperor, and it was called the honor of ninety-five."

Nangong Yi nodded and continued, the emperor's rooms on the central axis are all nine rooms wide and five deep, including the number of ninety-five. Nine dragon walls, nine dragon chairs, eighty-one door nails of nine vertical and horizontal nine, five ridges of the big roof, and nine eaves and horns.

As the highest yang number, nine frequently appears in the architecture of the Forbidden City, and the homonym of nine means long, so it also means that the sky is eternal, and it will never change color.

"These numbers are all metaphors for the imperial power of the emperor, nothing different?" Yun Duruo frowned and looked at Nangong Yi and asked. "Isn't this Jinluan Hall also built according to these proportions?"

"It's strange here, the Forbidden City is an imperial city anywhere that can't be flawed or negligent, but the largest palace in this imperial city has a different place from the ninety-five." Nangong Yi replied seriously.

"What is the difference?" Ask.

"All the palace eaves in the Forbidden City have nine eaves and horn beast ornaments, but this Jinluan Hall has ten!" Nangong Yi replied.

"Nine is the number of the sun, here on behalf of the imperial power, the emperor is respected by nine, since Dao Yan is a fine channel, he must know the truth that things must be reversed, where in this world is there a perfect thing." We retreated to the outside of the hall, Han Yu looked up at the corner of the eaves, and said meaningfully. "There must be other reasons why Dao Yan actually designed ten beast ornaments on the Jinluan Palace."

"What are the cornices for?" I looked up and saw ten animals of different shapes standing on the eaves of the palace, and asked curiously.

"It is said that the king of Qi Luo encountered, was chased by the enemy to a big river, and was about to be cornered, suddenly, a big bird flew in front of him, and the monarch hurriedly rode on the big bird to save the day, so people put him at the end of the building ridge, meaning that the evil turns into good fortune, and later evolved into an auspicious animal in the eaves of the house." Nangong Yi replied.

"What are the eaves and horns on this Jinluan Palace?" Yun Duruo asked.

Nangong Yi raised his head and pointed to those eaves and horn ornaments to explain to us, the number of beast ornaments has a close relationship with the grade, the higher the level, the more beast ornaments, and these beast ornaments also have an order of arrangement, which are dragons, phoenixes, lions, heavenly horses, seahorses, foxes, fish, pigs, and bullfights.

Each of these little beasts has its own meaning, and all of them are endowed with magical abilities, some can control water and avoid fire, some can remove obstacles, and some can bring good luck.

Among them, the dragon and the phoenix represent the supreme dignity, the dragon's horns are like deer, the scales are like fish, and the claws are like eagles to symbolize the emperor, called the real dragon sky, so this dragon is a symbol of imperial power.

The phoenix is the legendary king of birds, the male is the phoenix, the female is called the phoenix, commonly known as the phoenix, is a symbol of auspiciousness, and in the old days it was also a metaphor for people with holy virtues.

The lion roars, the beasts are subdued, it is the king of the town, it means brave and majestic, and there is the meaning of protecting the Dharma in the temple, implying that the power of Buddhism is endless, as a beast ornament lion is a fierce and benevolent beast.

Tianma means divine horse, and the seahorse is the embodiment of auspiciousness, and is a symbol of dignity, imaginative, alone, its image is used on the spine of the temple, there is a kind of arrogance, open up the territory of the momentum.

The seahorse, also known as the falling dragon, symbolizes loyalty, courage and auspiciousness, wisdom and virtue into the sky and the sea, and reaches the four directions.

In the ancient records, it is close to the lion's beast, can eat tigers and leopards, and is also the rate of the mighty beast, one says that it travels five miles a day, and the sex is good fireworks, so the dragon head on the incense burner is decorated with a dragon's head, and there is a sense of protection and peace.

The fish is a strange beast in the sea, and it is said that it can spew out a column of water, which can make it rain and extinguish fires.

The pig has the name of the sheep of the gods, is the single horn, because it is good at discernment, the strength is incomparable, the judge in ancient times used to wear the crown of the pig, in order to show the good judgment of the evil and the right, it is used to decorate the spine of the temple, symbolizing justice and selflessness, and there is the meaning of suppressing evil.

Bullfighting is the legendary dragon, no horns, the same effect as the fish, one says that it is the water beast, in ancient times, it was in the place where the flood occurred, and the cow was mostly used to town, standing on the spine of the temple has the function of suppressing evil spirits and protecting the house.

"Then there are ten beast ornaments on this Jinluan Palace, one more than the regular one, what is the extra one?" I asked Nangong Yi seriously.

"Yes, yes! Okay. Nangong Yi said to me with certainty. On the ancient building, Xingshi only appeared once, that is, on this Jinluan Palace, the number of beasts on the eaves of the general palace is usually the number of yang, at most nine, and the beasts on the eaves of the Jinluan Palace are ten. ”
