Mingtang was founded by the Yellow Emperor. It was called "Shishi" in the Xia Dynasty, "Chongwu" in the Shang Dynasty, and "Mingtang" in the Zhou Dynasty. The traditional Mingtang Piyong originated in the Han Dynasty. These buildings were first built in the capital Chang'an. The current ruins can also be seen. Located in the western suburbs of Xi'an today, there are three different ruins. The Mingtang ruins in the east are to the west. The view, and the ruins in the middle.
Mingtang was a place where ancient emperors preached and preached. It was the highest-standard intellectual building in ancient China, and the right to use it belonged to the emperor. According to previous historical records, the core building is about 60 meters in diameter, with suppressed platforms built on it, about 40 meters on each side. It is composed of a four-cornered rectangle, and there is a 360-meter circular water channel outside the wall. The entire building is double The central building of the square structure with an outer circle is a 17-meter central platform, which is called Thai style.
The emperor preached in this place. There were 4 small rooms on the other 4 sides, and 4 on the left and right of the middle floor. Each of them was combined into one, making a total of 12 rooms. In fact, the entire hall was combined into two. A building that is one. In the Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the rise of pavilion architecture, pavilions were the most famous dynasties that could build Mingtang buildings.
However, during war-torn times such as the Eastern Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were no ruins for the construction of Mingtang. The rationale for famous halls was also lost during this period. The Tang Dynasty did not fully understand the foundation of Mingtang, and it was not repaired later. It can be seen from the summary above.
Every dynasty has its own ideas to build it, but not every dynasty has its own courage and courage to prune it, because it is a rational building with the most political significance, and its construction must comply with people's cognition. Otherwise, the construction will only attract criticism and controversy, and it will also cost a lot of time and financial resources. For the court without money, this is just a luxury.
