The Forbidden City in Beijing, but it embodies the cultural essence of the Chinese nation. It combines the beauty of China's architecture, symmetry, etiquette and so on. Is one of the representatives of China's artistic beauty.
Architectural beauty: cornices, arches, Mount Sumi, high platforms, beautiful palaces ... these are the architectural beauty of the Forbidden City. This magnificent Forbidden City can be called a "living textbook" of ancient buildings in China. It's really hard to imagine what kind of beliefs made craftsmen build such a magnificent palace. Perhaps it is the fear of imperial life, or perhaps they want to take out what they think is the most "beautiful" in their hearts.
Beauty of symmetry: China people pay attention to symmetry, but the Forbidden City still maintains symmetry and simplicity. The three halls of the former dynasty correspond to the three halls of the later dynasty, with the political affairs in front and the family affairs behind. The six palaces of the East and the West are symmetrically distributed to form a "Kun" shape, and * * * guards Gan Yang with the emperor. Wenhua Hall and Wuying Hall are located on the east and west sides, like the guards of civil servants and military commanders who serve the country. There is also hall of mental cultivation, which corresponds to Fengxian Temple (ancestral hall) in the east, which is an indirect embodiment of "Zuo Zu You She".
Beauty of Etiquette: "State of Etiquette" is the best cultural summary of China, and the Forbidden City embodies the beauty of Chinese etiquette everywhere. Every time I pass by the meridian gate, these five gates are the most conspicuous. They are the gates to the Forbidden City, more like the eyes of the Forbidden City, always watching people who want to set foot in this palace. Of these five doorways, only the emperor is allowed to walk in the middle, the queen's sedan chair can enter the palace once from her mother's house, and the champion, runner-up and flower-exploring of the new department can also come out once from this door, which is a compliment to Jinshi.
The doorway next to it was walked by civil and military officials. Although there were a large number of people in the imperial court, there were five doorways to see, and the officials were orderly. The ancestral temple and the national altar in front of the Wumen Gate are the embodiment of "Zuo Zu You She" in Zhou Li Textual Research. It is a culture of gratitude, thanks to the ancestral family (ancestral temple), thanks to the food and clothing of the land god and the grain god (national altar).
The architectural beauty of the Forbidden City cannot be described clearly in words. Only when you get close to it, get close to it, will you feel its true beauty.
