Chapter 2089

Through the door opening of the Meridian Gate and looking back, you can see that there are only three door openings on the front and five on the back, which impressively implies the saying of "three bright and five dark", and only the emperor can enter and exit the door opening in the middle.

In addition, when the emperor gets married, the queen can enter once, and the three who have won the first prize, the second place and the flower exploration in the palace examination can also go out once at a time. The civil and military ministers can only enter and exit the left door, while the royal princes can enter and exit the right door.

It can be seen that the ancient rules were strict.

Behind the Meridian Gate is the famous Jinshui River. There are five Jinshui bridges on the river. The word "Jin" in the name of the bridge shows the source of this river.

In ancient times, people combined the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth with five directions. Among them, "gold" represents "West" and "golden water" shows that the river comes from the West and is injected from the Yuquan mountains and rivers in the western suburbs. According to the old news of the sun, "the white tiger water is the Yuhe River, which goes out of Yuquan mountain, goes out of the capital, and flows into Huihe river.

After crossing the Jinshui bridge, you will find the Taihe gate. After passing through the Taihe gate, you will reach the famous Taihe hall, commonly known as the Jinluan hall. It is one of the three main halls in the East and the largest existing wooden structure hall.

The hall of Supreme Harmony was built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, imitating the Fengtian hall in the Forbidden City of Jinling. It is called Fengtian hall. In the 41st year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, it was renamed Huangji hall, and in the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed today.

After its completion, the hall of Supreme Harmony was repeatedly burned and rebuilt. This hall was rebuilt in the 34th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. After reconstruction, it bears the roof of the double eaves veranda hall, sits on three layers of white marble steps, and adopts Golden Dragon and seal color paintings. There are as many as 11 immortals and animals on the roof and 11 bays, all of which adopt the highest shape.

The plaque "Jianji suiyou" in Taihe hall is the Royal pen of Emperor Qianlong. However, the existing plaque is a replica. The original was replaced when Yuan Shikai became emperor and has long been lost.

Go to the platform of Taihe hall. The platform is equipped with a sundial and Jialiang, a pair of copper turtles and cranes, and 18 Copper tripods.

Tortoise and crane are symbols of longevity. Sundial is an ancient timer and Jialiang is an ancient standard gauge, both of which are symbols of imperial power. Your highness is a three-story white marble stone carving base about three feet high, surrounded by railings. Under the railings are stone carving heads, which can show the spectacle of thousands of dragons spitting water in rainy season.

On the whole, its high architectural regulation and fine decoration techniques can rank first in ancient architecture.

On the roof ridge are decorated with tile beasts, which are arranged according to the architectural level, and the number is also different. The tile beasts on the Taihe hall have ten unique ones, which shows the important position of the Taihe hall.

The first ornament is a impatio, and the ten animals are: the dragon, the Phoenix, the lion, the Tianma, the seahorse, the fish, the *, the, the bullfight, and the other ancient buildings. The most commonly used nine animals are the royal majesty.

The first ornament, why is an immortal riding a phoenix?

It is said that the king of Qi, who was defeated in a battle, came to the Bank of a big river and was desperate. Seeing that the pursuit was coming, a big bird flew to his eyes in danger. The king of Qi quickly rode on the big bird, crossed the river and turned good fortune into good fortune. Since then, the ancients put it on the ridge of the building, indicating that flying by Phoenix turned good fortune into good fortune.

When they entered the hall of Supreme Harmony, the first thing they saw was the emperor's throne.

On both sides of the throne, there are six huge columns with the pattern of golden cloud dragon pasted with Lek powder. The gold foil pasted has two colors, making the pattern prominent and bright; On both sides of the throne, there are four pairs of furnishings: Baoxiang, luduan (sound: record end), Xianhe and Xiangting. Among them, Baoxiang symbolizes national stability and political power consolidation. Luduan is a legendary auspicious animal, Xianhe symbolizes longevity, and Xiangting implies the stability of rivers and mountains.

In the middle of the ceiling above the throne, there is a caisson shaped like an umbrella with an upward bulge. In the middle of the caisson, there is a huge lying dragon carved with a dragon head and a pearl in its mouth.

In Lin Xi's arms, Xiao 11 pointed to the emperor's throne and cheered, "there are dragons and dragons, many dragons..."

Lin Yunxian also recognized that it was the Dragon chair on TV. She couldn't help laughing: "it's the same as on TV. It's all golden..."

Lin Xi also saw the Dragon chair for the first time, but the reason for her vision was that she didn't feel too experienced. Instead, she held Lin Yunxian and looked at the whole Taihe hall.

Wan Ziying, the landlord, immediately introduced: "the Dragon chair is called the Jiulong golden lacquer throne. It is the most exquisite gold painted cloud dragon throne with the most luxurious decoration, the highest grade and the most exquisite carving in the Forbidden City..."

"Look, there are seven steps in front of the throne and seven gold painted screens carved with cloud and dragon patterns behind the throne. These are antiques from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty and are precious..."

When they looked for prestige, they saw that there were indeed seven steps in front of the throne, with different decorations in front, back, left and right. Because the throne was too dazzling, they didn't notice it just now. Now they are surprised to find that those arranged together are more majestic.

Imagine how magnificent the emperor should have been when he sat on the throne and knelt down to worship his ministers. Now he has become an ornamental. Everyone can look at it wantonly. It's really desolate for one moment and another.

After watching carefully, Lin Xi suddenly felt something, pointed to the throne and said, "look at the Dragon chair, there are not nine golden dragons, but 13 in total. The largest dragon stands in the center of the chair back with his head held high..."

"The lower part of the chair is not the usual leg of the chair, but a place with a Xumi base and waist tied. It is carved with double dragons playing with beads and painted with gold paint. The surrounding decoration has special meaning, namely, the elephant carrying treasure bottle symbolizing peace and elephant, the luduan symbolizing the arrival of wise monarchs and sages, the crane symbolizing longevity, and the incense burner and incense tube for incense burning..."

"The six pillars near the throne and the Dragon paintings on the beams and braces are all pasted with asphalt powder, and the caisson with beads held by the coiled dragon above the throne is also covered with gold paint, which shows the luxurious atmosphere of the 'Jinluan Palace', thus setting off the dignity of the Emperor..."

Wan Ziying was very useful to them. When they looked at the whole hall, they saw gorgeous decoration, dense Dougong under the eaves, and the highest level He Xi color paintings on the indoor and outdoor beams. The upper part of the doors and windows was inlaid with rhombic lattice patterns, the lower part was embossed with cloud dragon patterns, and gilt copper leaves engraved with dragon patterns were installed at the joints.

Lin Xi paid more attention to the gold bricks in the hall. According to the book, these gold bricks are two feet square, with a total of 4718 pieces. The surface is light black, greasy, bright, neither astringent nor slippery, but they are not made of gold, but special pottery.

After reading the gold bricks on the ground, Lin Xi suddenly thought of a statement and asked everyone with a smile: "I'll test you. It's said that there are treasures in the Taihe hall. If any of you can find them and go back in the evening, how about I cook myself..."

Everyone was surprised that Lin Xi had worked as a cook, and there was no need to say more about his cooking. Just at home, he hardly cooked. Even Lin Yunxian had not eaten his cooking for nearly two years.

When he suddenly wants to cook, everyone inevitably doesn't adapt.

Little one looked up and asked innocently, "Uncle Qiao, what is the treasure of the town hall..."

Lin Xi explained kindly, "the most valuable treasure in this big house is more valuable than the Dragon chair on it. If you can find out one by one, your uncle will buy you as many ice sugar gourd as you want..."

"Good, good, one by one to find the treasure of the town hall..."

Hearing that there was ice sugar gourd to eat, the little ones jumped and jumped one by one. It was called a leap of joy. They opened their eyes and looked for it.

Wan Ziying was surprised, but her childhood mother was surprised and said, "news, is there really a treasure here? Why haven't I heard of it..."

Tong Yan straightened his chest, and suddenly surged in front of him. He glanced and said sarcastically, "Mom, don't listen to his nonsense. He hasn't been to the Forbidden City. How can he know the treasure of the town hall? He must be making fun of us..."

Lin Xi was so angry that her seven orifices were smoking. If it weren't for the public, she really wanted to slap Tong Yan's ass and egg and make her look down on herself.

Every time you come to the Forbidden City, you don't deserve to know the treasure of the town hall? What kind of truth!

Unexpectedly, at this time, Lin Yunxian suddenly said, "the brook is right. Ancient royal halls often have things to keep the hall in mind. The treasure of the shop in Taihe hall is on the beam..."

Stunned, everyone looked up at the beam of Taihe hall and looked for the so-called treasure of Zhendian, but Lin Xi was surprised. He only knew the treasure of Zhendian, but he didn't know what it was. Lin Yunxian was able to tell it at once. It seems that there were many stories here when she was young.

Lin Yunxian didn't find Lin Xi's difference. She pointed to the shining ball made of mercury hanging in the middle of the Taihe hall and said, "the treasure of Zhendian in the Taihe hall is five hidden mysterious runes, and their offerings are very regular..."

"The ball is called Xuanyuan mirror. Look at the middle of the caisson platform directly above it. There is the first rune. With it as the center, there is a rune in the four directions of southeast and Northwest..."

After a pause, Lin Yunxian continued: "this talisman is called Zhendian talisman, also known as' talisman board '. It is made of gaolimu, with five offerings such as incense burner, wax platform and Ganoderma lucidum in front. The front is divided into four layers from top to bottom, which is composed of Buddhist Mantra, gods and the seven stars of the Big Dipper. The back is composed of 72 talismans of Zhendian, which is the Zhendian talisman..."

Everyone followed the prestige. Sure enough, on the caisson platform, they saw the talisman of the town hall.

Lin Xi's vision revolved and looked at the other four directions. Sure enough, there was also a town hall talisman. He was even more surprised. It was as Lin Yunxian said.

Xiaoyi cheered: "grandma Xian, grandma Xian, you're great

Lin Yunxian smiled kindly and her eyes were full of memories, but she didn't say any more.
