If we use “lonely” to describe the
Forbidden City in
Beijing, is may be a joke. The glorious roof is shining proudly in the sunshine. Not only the roof, but the whole Forbidden City is always in the proud posture even in the ancient time, This palace just like its host to see the world in an overlook view.
The sight is led by the red wall of the Meridian Gate (Wu Men), behind the high wall, I can catch the blue sky dotted with thin clouds. The brilliant color matching “red wall, blue sky, white clouds” is impressive for even the architectural professors. I belesprit that in many people’s eyes, the world behind the Meridian Gate is holy and has large attractions. For me, Forbidden City is not a stranger for me, while when I am standing near this blood-red wall, I also have a breathtaking feeling.
Finally, I just enter into it. The first scene is the large and wide square of Supreme Harmony Gate. This such a large square is more like an elegant black in this 3D palace picture, another way to show the elaborate design of this palace.When strolling in this attraction, countless squares are in front of our eyes. Nearly each hall will be equipped with a square. Why there are many squares? According to the design idea, the enough room will offer a better dwelling comfort level, and also make a serious atmosphere.
The structure of the Forbidden City is in three lines - Eastern, Middle, and Western Lines. At the beginning of the central axis are the famous three halls, namely, Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Preserving Harmony, Hall of Middle Harmony. Easily to know that these three halls are the representatives of the buildings in Forbidden City, especially in the Hall of Supreme Harmony which is decorated by the substrate in white marble, the large bright red pillar, and the shining golden roof. May be the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the one in least used times inside the Forbidden City. Only be used during the ceremony of ascend the throng, etc.
The officials of emperors in that time were mainly Palace of Heavenly Purity and Character Cultivation Hall. Inside the hall, I can image the working scene of the emperors. They used their power to rule this country, may be in a prosperous direction or in a decline situation.
In the history, there were many intelligent and industrial emperors who would spend whole night just for dealing with the domestic affairs.Inside this palace, there are too many stories about the emperors. But the stories are always not in a happy endings.
Waling inside the Forbidden City, it is easy to remind some stories in the history. And the most referred may be the love stories or may be called the emperor’s women battles stories will be better. Aimed to have a firm position in the palace, the battles among imperial concubine were alway happening. Even the brilliant emperor was also have no good solutions of this matter.
Beside the emperors and imperial concubines, the servants were also play very important roles inside the red wall. The servants belonged to powerful concubines or any other officials would enjoyed more power and were regarded as higher than the other one.
