Sanxi Hall, in ancient times, was the study of the Qing emperor Tommy Tam. "Three wishes" means "scholars like sages, sages like saints, and saints like heaven". Scholars should be sages, sages should be saints, and saints should be people who know heaven, that is, encourage themselves to pursue unremittingly and to be diligent.
The study is called "Sanxi Hall". In the 11th year of Qianlong (A.D. 1746), there were Wang Xizhi's Quick Snow Clear Post, Wang Xianzhi Mid-Autumn Post and Wang Xun's Yuan Bo Post. In the 15th year of Qianlong (A.D. 1750), "Sanxi Hall" also collected the works of 134 famous artists since the Jin Dynasty, including 340 pieces of ink and 495 kinds of rubbings.
Sanxi Hall, located in hall of mental cultivation West Warm Pavilion of the Palace Museum, was formerly known as the greenhouse, and later changed to Sanxi Hall. It is the study of Emperor Tommy Tam of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the most obvious symbol left by him as a master of hall of mental cultivation. The plaque of "Sanxi Hall" and the ink of "Sanxi Hall Ji" inscribed by Emperor Qianlong are still hanging on the wall, and the couplets on both sides of the plaque are "Embrace ancient and modern times; I am deeply loyal to Su Hao. "
Sanxi Hall is only about 4.8 square meters, but the furnishings are elegant and simple, which makes up for the lack of space; The long and narrow indoor depth is divided into two small rooms, north and south, which are separated by carved nanmu. One of the rooms is equipped with a window sill and furniture for the imperial study. There is a high and low kang that can sit and lie under the windowsill, and the Qianlong throne is located on both sides of the high kang.
The origin of Sanxi Hall:
1, the "three wishes" means that scholars like sages, sages like saints, and saints like heaven. Shi Xixian: That is, scholars hope to become sages. Xiansheng: That is to say, sages should become saints. The sage looks up to heaven: that is, the sage hopes to be a man who knows heaven. It is to encourage yourself to pursue unremittingly, be diligent and self-motivated.
2. "Three Wishes" refer to three rare treasures: The Flying Snow and Clear Posture by Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Jin Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Posture by Wang Xianzhi and the Yuan Bo Posture by Wang Xun.
3. Emperor Qingganlong loved calligraphy all his life, and deliberately collected calligraphy treasures of past dynasties, integrated them, chased the two kings and took their essence. Especially Wang Xizhi's Sunny Snow Post, Wang Xianzhi's Mid-Autumn Post and Wang Xun's Yuan Bo Post, they couldn't put it down, and ordered them to be named "Hill Hall" except for the hidden law post, and hung a flat forehead with Sanxi Hall in their own handwriting. Preserved to this day.
