Chapter 1422

"In terms of traditional regulations, the statistics of the number of houses has always been based on" four pillars and one room ". Because the ancient buildings in our country are all of wood structure, which are composed of beams, columns and other large pieces of wood to form a framework, and then the framework is filled with masonry, and doors, windows and ornaments are installed, so the square or rectangular space between the four columns above the ground is called "one room", that is, the so-called "four columns one room". The houses in the Forbidden City are also calculated based on this, but the length of the distance (Bay, depth) between the four pillars is different, so is the size of the building area. There are large and small rooms, but there can be no half room

Mu brothers are staring at Chu muyue, this girl, really know everything so clearly!

"In a broad sense, the houses in the Forbidden City include halls, palaces, halls, buildings, zhais, pavilions, and so on. The basic architectural pattern of the Forbidden City is" four pillars and one room ". Whether it is the Grand Hall of Supreme Harmony, the hall of neutralization, the hall of Baohe, or the relatively small-scale inner court halls, dormitories, and temples. Only the number and depth of each building are designed and built according to the requirements of "regulation", which leads to the size of building scale and building area. The largest palace in the Forbidden City is the hall of supreme harmony. It has 72 pillars, 11 in width and 5 in depth, so the number of rooms is 55. The Chuxiu palace, one of the "six palaces in the west" of the inner court, has only 5 rooms in width and 2 rooms in depth, so the number of rooms is 10

"What a profound look!" Mu Ziheng grabbed his head and said with admiration.

Chu muyue laughed and said, "according to the records of the Palace Museum series," according to the field investigation and statistics of experts on ancient architecture, there are 8707 halls, halls, buildings, houses and pavilions in the Palace Museum. Therefore, it is not correct to say that there are 9999 and a half houses in the Palace Museum. It is just a legend. " According to the history of the Forbidden City, there were more than 10000 rooms in the Forbidden City. Later, with the development of the times, some rooms decayed, collapsed or burned down, but the number should be more than 8000. In 1972, according to the standard of "four pillars and one room", ancient architecture experts made a comprehensive statistics of the rooms in the Forbidden City. The result is that there are more than 980 palaces and halls, and 8707 houses. "

"So it is!" All of them nodded their heads suddenly.

Chu Mu Yue smiles, interrupts the awkward atmosphere and reminds him, "ha ha ha, just listen to it as some stories. Let's go in quickly!"

"Yes, yes, go in!" Mu Yuntao quickly nodded, turned his head and looked at Chu muyue, and gave her a thumbs up, "I feel that we didn't bring muyue to the Forbidden City, but sister muyue brought us to the Forbidden City!"

"I think so, too!" Several big men all agreed and nodded.

But mu Ziheng didn't feel anything. He said naively, "let sister Mu Yue introduce us to the Forbidden City! I've been here before, but I never know the legends of the Forbidden City. It's no use reading them! "

"Yes Chu muyue also laughed and explained to Mu Yuntao while walking.

The Forbidden City faces north and south. Why? South, in the eight trigrams, belongs to "Li trigram". In the southern hexagram, sages listen to the world from the south, and govern from the Ming Dynasty.
