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; Deep down, I trust Su Hao "(here Su Hao refers to calligraphy). In addition, there is also a "Sanxi Hall" in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, which contains a "Clear Snow Post".
Sanxi Hall began in Qianlong period, and has never changed after Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Guangxu, Xuan Tong and other dynasties, and still maintains its original appearance. 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 specific layout of Sanxi Hall:
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, one of which is equipped with a window sill for setting the furniture of 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 inscription of "Sanxitang" in Qianlong Imperial Book and the couplet of "Looking at the past and the present, the heart is deep and luxurious" are posted above and on both sides of the throne respectively.
The colorful porcelain wall bottles on the low kang wall and the nanmu "Sanxitang" box under the wall bottles were all captured by the big glass mirror on the opposite wall, and the small room was suddenly enlightened. In addition, Sanxi Hall Ji, the imperial pen, stands in a small room, and Wang Xizhi's Learning Book by court painter Jin Tingbiao, Sanxi Hall Song and landscape paintings on the wall also add infinite charm to Sanxi Hall.
