the imperial city of hue, also known as "ouchi", is the royal palace of Nguyen dynasty and the largest and relatively complete ancient architectural complex in Vietnam. The prototype was laid in 1687, and construction began in 185. It took decades to build the existing scale. Its architectural style is modeled after the Forbidden City in Beijing, with a total area of 6 square kilometers. The imperial city is square, surrounded by moats. Each side of the city wall is more than 6 meters long, and there are four gates, namely Qianwumen, Houhepingmen, Zuoxianren Gate and Youzhangde Gate.
Qitai is located in the south center of Huangcheng, in front of Wumen Gate. The flag platform was built in 187, with a height of 17.4 meters. The flag stand in front of the Wumen Gate was built in 189. The platform is divided into three layers, the lower layer is 5.6 meters high, the middle layer is 5.8 meters high and the upper layer is 6 meters high. The flagpole, originally made of wood, was divided into two sections and was 29.5 meters high. It was broken several times. After many reconstructions, it was made of reinforced concrete, divided into three sections and was 57 meters high. When the flag platform was in Ruan Dynasty, it was used to raise the flag for the celebration held by the imperial court, and it was usually used as a watchtower. The flag stands towering and can be seen all over the suburbs.
The meridian gate is the main entrance of Hue Imperial City, which is smaller than the meridian gate of the Forbidden City in China, but its style is basically the same. The plane is in the shape of a bell, with a tall masonry pier under it, a crib wall around the front of the pier, and three Jinshui bridges in front of the meridian gate. There are five doors on the pier, the middle door is 5.32 meters high and 3.28 meters wide, and there are two Chinese characters "Wumen Gate" above the middle of the door. At the beginning, the word outsourcing gold was stolen on December 1, 1943. Five buildings were built on the pier platform, named Wufeng Building, which is divided into two floors and has a magnificent momentum. In the middle of the lower floor is the throne, and the upper floor is the place where the imperial secretary observes the ceremony. At the beginning of Wumen, it was Nanque Terrace, which was built in 1833 and rebuilt in 1921. It was damaged by artillery fire during the war and has now been repaired. The Meridian Gate is only opened during festivals, when the Vietnamese emperor came in person and all the ministers knelt down to meet him. Wumen is also a witness to the burial of Ruan Dynasty. On August 3th, 1945, the last emperor of Ruan Dynasty, Bao Da, officially abdicated at Wumen, handing over the sword and decree symbolizing imperial power to the temporary government delegation headed by Chen Huiliao, marking the final abolition of the feudal monarchy in Vietnam.
there is the hall of supreme harmony in the imperial city, with a base of 2 meters high, a depth of 3.5 meters, a width of 44 meters and a height of 11.8 meters. It was built in 185, rebuilt in 1824 and overhauled at the beginning of this century. It is the largest building in the imperial city. The Hall of Supreme Harmony is built according to the architectural style of China, but it also maintains the local Vietnamese style. All buildings have rain eaves outside their doors, supported by a row of columns. The pillars in the temple are all made of ironwood, a native of Vietnam, which is very rare because of deforestation. The columns are painted with bright red and gold pigments, and the beams are painted with four seasons scenery, sacred animals, flowers and birds, etc. This is the place where the royal family holds a grand worship ceremony on holidays. In front of the hall, there are stone platforms made of Qing fossils, that is, grade stones, which are divided into two levels: those with three or more grades among civil and military officials stand at the upper level, and those with four to nine grades stand at the lower level.
On both sides of the Hall of Supreme Harmony are palaces and temples dedicated to emperors of past dynasties, such as Imperial Temple, Zhaomiao Temple, World Temple, Xing Temple and Fengmiao Temple. There is also the Forbidden City in the imperial city. Behind the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it is the place where the emperor, his empresses and princes live. This is equivalent to the imperial palace in the Forbidden City in Beijing, and outsiders are not allowed to enter except maids and eunuchs.
The Forbidden City was built in 184, and was then called Miyagi. In 1822, the Ming emperor was changed to the Forbidden City. The wall of the Forbidden City is 324 meters long, 29 meters wide and 3.72 meters high, and the thickness of the wall is .72 meters. There are 7 gates in total, with the Grand Palace Gate in front, the Xiangluan Gate and the ceremonial gate in the back, Xingqing Gate and Dong 'an Gate in the east, Jiaxiang Gate and Xi 'an Gate in the west. The Forbidden City is divided into two parts, in front of which there is the Qinzheng Hall where the emperor usually handles government affairs, behind which there is the Gancheng Hall where the emperor lives, the Kuntai Palace where the queen lives, the Guangming Hall where the crown prince lives, and the Shunhui Courtyard where other empresses live. There are also Duanshun Courtyard, Duanhe Courtyard. Five courtyards, including Duanhui Courtyard, Dignified Courtyard and Duanxiang Courtyard, are the residences of concubines. In addition, there are imperial kitchens, imperial hospitals and guards' rooms. During the Battle of Hue in Vietnam in 1968, many buildings in Hue Imperial City were damaged. The Mausoleum of Hue was built 1 to 15 kilometers west of Hue, including Jialong Mausoleum, Ming Mausoleum, Shaozhi Mausoleum, Si De Mausoleum, Jian Fu Mausoleum, Tongqing Mausoleum and Qiding Mausoleum, all of which followed the example of China Ming and Qing Mausoleum. The most spectacular are Jialong Mausoleum and Side Mausoleum. Each imperial tomb occupies one or two hills covered with pine trees. Each mausoleum has several halls, displaying the objects of the utensils that the emperor used and loved before his death. There is usually a lotus pond in each mausoleum. There is also a building on the lotus pond of Sideling, which is used for the emperor to rest, bathe and fish when offering sacrifices.
the imperial tombs in hue are scattered on the mountains on the east and west sides of Xiangjiang river to the west of hue, and the northeast is 7-15 kilometers away from the urban area. The three tombs in Shaozhi, Side and Tongqing are about 7 kilometers away from the urban area, while the other three tombs are far away from the urban area. Each mausoleum occupies one or two hills, where the pines are lush and covered with shade. Among the six mausoleums, the shape of Jialong Mausoleum is the most representative. There are 36 rolling mountains in the distance directly opposite Lingji, which are considered to be the land of victory. In the cemetery, huabiao stands tall, and the halls are towering. On both sides of the memorial hall, there are civil servants, military commanders, stone carvings and stone beasts, and behind the hall is Baocheng, which is the location of the tomb. There is also a tablet pavilion in the cemetery. There are a large number of exquisite stone dragon reliefs and several clear lakes and marshes on both sides of the stone steps. The cemetery has a rigorous layout and a quiet environment. From the city center, 6 kilometers up Xiangjiang River, you can reach Tianmu Temple. Tianmu Temple is a famous ancient temple in Vietnam, also known as Lingmu Temple. Located in the western suburbs of Hue, on the high slope of Anning Village on the north bank of Xiangjiang River. Founded in 161, it was built by Ruan Huang, the second son of Ruan Gan, the ancestor of Ruan. It was first repaired in 1665, and in 171, a clock weighing 3285 Jin was added. After its expansion in 1714, it has dozens of magnificent buildings, such as the Heavenly King Hall, the Jade Emperor Hall, the Ursa Mahayana Hall, the Sutra Collection Hall, the Bell and Drum Tower, the Ten Kings Hall, the Great Compassion Hall and the Pharmacist Hall. At the end of the Li Dynasty, it was seriously destroyed by soldiers, and it was restored in 1815 and 1831. In 194, it was severely destroyed by a typhoon, and it was rebuilt again in 197. It was damaged again during the first Indian zhina War and the Vietnam War, and was repaired in 1975.
Fuyou pagoda in front of the temple is an integral part of Tianmu Temple. It was built in the fourth year of Shaozhi in Ruan Dynasty (AD 1844), and was originally named Ciren pagoda. Now it is known as Tianmu Temple pagoda. The tower is a flat octagonal pavilion with a dignified shape, with 7 floors, each of which is dedicated to a Buddha. In front of the tower, the Tianmu Lotus Pond, which is connected with Xiangjiang River, stands on the tower body among the green trees, reflected in the pond, with sparkling tower shadows and beautiful scenery. State altar (Vietnamese:? àn X? T? C) Built in the fifth year of Jialong (AD 186), the altar was made of soil from all over the country. It is used to worship the land god (society) and the grain god (millet) and pray for good weather and good harvests. Its ceremony specifications are second only to the southern suburbs.
The word "country" refers to a country. Society is the god of society, in charge of land; Ji, the god of Ji, is in charge of grains. Because of the importance of agriculture to the country, emperors in past dynasties attached great importance to offering sacrifices to the country. According to the stipulation of "Zuo Zu You She" (both zu and she are symbols of feudal regime) in the Book of Examination of Work of Zhou Li, the social altar should be placed on the right (west) of the palace. However, Emperor Jialong had already built the Xing Temple on the right side of the imperial city (to worship his father, Ruan Xing Zuxiaokang, Emperor Ruan Fu Luan), so he had to build a social altar on the right side outside the imperial city.
Ruan Chao's official Record of the Great South records that: "In the fifth year of Bingyin Jialong (the 11th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty), Ding Si first built the country altar, and ordered Zhuchengying Town to build it in its own tribute soil. The altar is made of two floors (the first floor is two feet high and fifteen feet square; The second floor is one foot five inches high and 29 feet square. There are fences around the second floor, and trees are planted outside. The first floor is dedicated to the god of taiji in Taishe Society (all facing north), with Houtu Goulong family on the right and Houying family on the left (facing east and west). On the second floor, a pain camp was set up in the northwest, and Fan Wenren, the commander of the army, was ordered to serve Dong Qijun, and the ritual department was ordered to make a sacrifice ceremony. At the end of the year, the sacrifice was made on the second mid-autumn day (the fifth day after the mid-spring festival, and the fifth day after the mid-autumn festival). " To the north of Xiangang Bay stands Haiyunling, a traffic hub in central Vietnam. This is the natural dividing line between Guangnan-Da Nang City and Chengtian-Hue Province. Haiyunshan, a branch of Changshan Mountain, meanders eastward from the Vietnamese border and has been inserted into the sea. Haiyunling is its last peak, 47 meters above sea level. The ridge is surrounded by white clouds all year round, drifting with the wind, and is integrated with the blue sky and the pale sea, so it is called Haiyunling. Haiyunling has lush vegetation and green bamboos, which makes people linger.
however, in ancient times, there were rugged rocks, rugged roads and extremely difficult traffic. As the ancient poem said: "Vietnam is on the top of this mountain, and the situation is as muddy as the road." In the first half of the 19th century, during Ruan Chaoming's reign, he built a Panshan Highway in Haiyunling, which was tens of kilometers long, and closed doors were built in front of and behind the ridge. The closed walls were made of rocks, which were very solid. The front door is engraved with three characters "Haiyunguan", and the back door is inscribed with six characters "The First Xiongguan in the World". The big characters on the front and back doors are vigorous, which shows that the writer has a high attainments in Chinese calligraphy. Later, Highway No.1 running through the north and south of Vietnam and the railway from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City all passed through here. Since then, Haiyunling has changed from a natural barrier to a thoroughfare. At the same time, it is not only a good place for people to rest halfway, but also one of the important tourist attractions. Xiangjiang River is an important part of Hue's natural landscape in Vietnam. Its scenery is poetic and picturesque, and it is known as the "soul of Hue". Originated in Changshan, the upper reaches are Zuoze and Youze. After the two waters converge, they are named Xiangjiang and enter the sea from Shun 'ankou. It flows to the Huangling area of Hue from south to north. It turns west and east at Tianmu Temple, crosses Hue City, and turns northeast at Dongbo City in the southeast corner of the Imperial City. A section of the river that passes through Hue City has a gentle velocity, and Ming Che is like a mirror except during the flood season. Ground scenery in the old city on the left bank and the new block on the right bank, such as palaces, terraces, pavilions, battlements, temples, gardens, villas, schools, etc. They all cast graceful reflections in the river. Shazhou, Jiayuanzhou and other sandbars lie in the middle of the river, bridges are everywhere on the river, boats and boats are dotted, and songs are singing. The beauty of Xiangjiang scenery, especially at night. At night, thousands of lights and stars are shining in the blue waves. The Jade Rabbit rises in the east, the moon and the stars are bright, and the boat is in the middle of the river. Lyric folk songs and melodious Hue music, including court music, are accompanied by the bells of ancient temples from time to time, and the enjoyment of beauty is in a good state. Xiangjiang also brings a cool and pleasant climate to Hue. Therefore, when people mention Hue, they think of Xiangjiang. The beautiful scenery of Xiangjiang has attracted poets and writers to linger, and I don't know how many tourists are intoxicated and praised.
