He strongly invites Tao Tang, a young cultural relic expert, Mu Zongyun, a well-known director, and Wang Xining, a senior host. However, just when the program was ready to start, the young female director Yu Zazao suddenly parachuted into the company and joined the program group, disrupting the overall plan of the program and being strongly rejected by everyone. Surprisingly, Yu Zazao is calm and witty, dares to break the rules, and has inexhaustible inspiration like a genius. With her help, the originally scattered production team became unprecedentedly cohesive. Everyone worked together, starting from the historical relics of the Forbidden City, devoted themselves to excavating the core memory of the nation, promoting historical and traditional culture, and solving the problem of non-genetic inheritance. In the end, “Inheritance” stood out from many homogeneous programs and became a great success. Yu Zazao also successfully healed his soul and gained a complete friendship and career..

Episode 6

Yu Zaizao tried to propose to the company to make Qing Dynasty court women’s clothing, but Yuan Jiaying took the lead unexpectedly. Under the recommendation of Wang Xining, Yuan Jiaying found a master chef of Shanghai cheongsam with exquisite craftsmanship, and made a series of perfect arrangements from the evolution of qipao to cheongsam. In the museum, Tao Tang and Yuan Jiaying had a conflict of ideas. Tao Tang found that the exhibits in the exhibition hall were not only Qing Dynasty costumes. He proposed to make a special edition of Ming and Qing costumes to let the audience understand Chinese women’s costumes more comprehensively. Yuan Jiaying thought that The gowns of concubines of the Qing Dynasty are the most well-known to the public and are more conducive to overseas distribution. It is difficult for the two to agree. On the other side of the shooting scene of Group B, the cheongsam master Liu Shifu was not good at speaking, and the shooting was once deadlocked. Unable to dig out valuable stories from him, Yu Zazao ran into difficulties for the first time. In order to ensure the hit rate, Yuan Jiaying made up a shooting plan and prepared to fabricate a dramatic story to create highlights, but Yu Zazao flatly rejected it. After Yu Zaizao refused to shoot, Yuan Jiaying took the lead alone and took charge of directing two groups of shoots at the same time. But Master Liu was unwilling to tell the fabricated story according to Yuan Jiaying’s script.

Episode 7

Yuan Jiaying turned to seek Wang Xining’s help. After hard work, the two finally discovered the emotional story behind Master Liu. Yu Zazao was about to lose, but he had a flash of inspiration under Tao Tang’s deliberate suggestion. Gu Shiyong saw the magnificent stage prepared by Yu Zazao, but he didn’t know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd. He was afraid of investing in bamboo baskets to fetch water, so he became anxious for a while. Yu Zaizao decided to ask Shu Rong to help, with the theme of Chinese women’s clothing, to reproduce the evolution of Chinese women’s makeup and clothing in the past dynasties. The women in costumes of different dynasties are graceful and charming, with elegant steps, as if they have stepped out of ancient paintings. With the help of Tao Tang, the mighty Zhonghua Yiguanxiu surpassed the sensational emotional story in one fell swoop, winning applause from all the halls and making Yuan Jiaying lose face. At the cheongsam display scene, Yu Zazao put on a cheongsam and looked more and more graceful. This scene deeply moved Gu Shiyong. Yuan Jiaying had the idea of ​​resigning because of her loss to Yu Zazao, Gu Shiyong persuaded her to stay, and Yuan Jiaying stayed for the sake of the overall situation. A program called “Intangible Cultural Relics” was born out of nowhere. The location and content of the program were very similar to “Inheritance”. Everyone couldn’t help worrying about the fate of “Inheritance”.

Episode 8

Hearing that Master Li declined the interview, everyone was extremely annoyed. Yu Zaizao proposed a replacement plan and interviewed another jade carving master, but Wang Xining refused. The two disagreed, and Wang Xining was not happy. Gu Shiyong was very dissatisfied with Yu Zazao’s behavior of offending Wang Xining, but Yu Zazao didn’t care about Gu’s preaching at all, and went to Wang Xining to reconcile with a smile on his face. Wang Xining was ridiculed by the popular host Wan Sihua and the opposite producer Fang Quan, but he still kept his expression unchanged and insisted on staying for the filming. In the middle of the night, the entire film crew worked overtime to discuss, and Yuan Jiaying, who got the news, came to help. Yuan Jiaying arranged an interview plan for another jade carving master, Master Wang, and asked everyone to go to the studio to shoot the next morning, and she herself will go directly to Yunnan to find Master Wang who is on a business trip to complete the personal interview part. Yu Zaizao bluntly said that such a shooting plan could not win, Yuan Jiaying chased Yu Zaizao, and the two accidentally saw Wang Xining silently meeting with her biological son in the corridor. Seeing this scene, Yuan Jiaying reminded Yu Zazao to keep a safe distance from his colleagues, and Yu Zazao didn’t take it seriously at all.

Episode 9

Yu Zaoli invites Tao Tang to act in a play, although Tao Tang is reluctant but still bites the bullet and makes a guest appearance. The tense Tao Tang forgot his words one after another, and the atmosphere at the scene was tense. With the encouragement of the director and the support of Yu Zaozao, Tao Tang is getting better. In the end, Yu Zaizao successfully reproduced the legend of Baoyu in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which surprised Gu Shiyong, and Tao Tang’s acting skills also won unanimous praise from everyone. The new issue of “Inheritance” was successfully launched and received great acclaim. Fang Quan, the producer of “Intangible Cultural Heritage”, vowed to make Gu Shiyong’s team look good. Tao Tang took the opportunity to teach Yu Zaizao that he should respect the hard work and hard work of every ordinary person in the crew, and live in harmony with Yuan Jiaying. Wang Xining was almost involved in a traffic accident, and his face and legs were injured to varying degrees. Everyone from the program team came to the hospital to visit, but found a familiar figure from behind, which turned out to be Mu Zongyun holding flowers. Director Mu was embarrassed and refused to admit himself Worrying about Wang Xining was clear to everyone and couldn’t help laughing. Everyone thought Wang Xining’s car accident was an accident, only Yu Zazao firmly believed that it was related to the divorce case.

Gu Shiyong was very satisfied with the material provided by Yu Zazao, but Tao Tang expressed strong opposition to the content about the conflict between Liu’s father and daughter, and immediately left the crew. Yu Zazao was unwilling to give up, so he chased Tao Tang to ask for an explanation. Tao Tang believed that Yu Zazao had obtained the permission to shoot, and he was not at fault from a legal point of view.

Master Liu decided to teach her daughter the technique of filigree inlay. The father and daughter finally reconciled, and Master Liu even made a bet that if his daughter can get a place in the provincial competition, he will inherit the studio to her. The program team also quietly set up recording equipment to record this warm and beautiful scene without disturbing the two.

#北京。 #中國 #China #Beijing | #紫禁城 #ForbiddenCity #June2023 | #ForbiddenCityDairies #星球研究所 # Planet Research Institute #MingDynastyTombs Travelling into #MingDynasty walking down living history mystery solving…

The Ming Tombs are located at the foot of Tianshou Mountain in Changping District , Beijing China, People’s Republic of China , about 50 kilometers away from Tiananmen. The Ming Tombs are located in a small basin surrounded by mountains on three sides in the east, west and north. The area around the tomb is surrounded by mountains, the central part is a plain, and there is a meandering river in front of the tomb. From the beginning of Changling in May of the seventh year of Yongle (1409) to the burial of Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in Siling.

The Ming Tombs have a total of 13 imperial tombs, including the Changling Mausoleum of Chengzu Zhu Di, Xianling Mausoleum of Renzong Zhu Gaochi, Jingling Mausoleum of Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, Yuling Mausoleum of Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, Xianzong Zhu Jianshenmao Mausoleum, Xiaozong Zhu Youtang’s Tai Mausoleum. The Kangling Mausoleum of Wuzong Zhu Houzhao, the Yongling Mausoleum of Sejong Zhu Houcong, the Zhao Mausoleum of Mu Zong Zhu Zaihou, and the Ding Mausoleum of Shenzong Zhu Yijun. The Qingling Mausoleum of Guangzong Zhu Changluo, and the Deling Mausoleum of Xizong Zhu Youxiao. The Siling Mausoleum of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian. In addition, there are 8 accompanying tombs, including 7 concubine (prince) tombs and 1 eunuch tomb. Its architectural form embodies the feudal rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty. Both the emperor’s mausoleum and the rear mausoleum are covered with yellow glazed tiles. 

The Ming Tombs area covers an area of ​​40 square kilometers. It is famous for its magnificent scale, complete cemetery system, solemn and harmonious layout, beautiful and quiet scenery, and elegant and simple style.

In 1957, it was listed as the first batch of key ancient buildings and cultural relic’s protection units in Beijing. In 1961, it was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit by the State Council of the People’s Republic of China. In 1982, the Ming Tombs and Badaling were listed as one of the national key scenic spots protection areas as a complete scenic spot. On July 3, 2003, the Ming Tombs, as an expansion project of the royal tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, were approved by the 27th United Nations World Heritage Conference and included in the “World Heritage List

The Ming tombs are a collection of mausoleums built by the emperors of the Ming dynasty of China. The first Ming emperor’s tomb is located near his capital Nanjing. However, the majority of the Ming tombs are located in a cluster near Beijing and collectively known as the Thirteen Tombs of the Ming dynasty. 

The Ming dynasty, officially the Great Ming, was an imperial dynasty of China, ruling from 1368 to 1644 following the collapse of the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty. The Ming dynasty was the last imperial dynasty of China ruled by the Han people, the majority ethnic group in China…

Enjoy the cool air! I should be the first science popularization master who entered the Ming Tombs at night.

This is the largest and most complete royal cemetery in China, and the resting place of 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty. When the hustle and bustle of the day fades away, this cemetery has more vicissitudes of history. The purpose of this trip is to find the answer to a question.



Regardless of whether it is the imperial tombs of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the imperial tombs of the Song Dynasty, or the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty, they were either severely damaged or completely looted. But why is it that only the Ming Tombs are relatively intact above and below ground? 明圣圣陵Why can survive to this day ?

Walk! Go down to the imperial mausoleum to solve the mystery that has been covered in dust for many years…

 The Ming Tombs are located in Changping District, 50km northwest of Beijing, and are the general name of the tombs of 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty. The mausoleum area covers an area of ​​80km2, and it is the relatively complete mausoleum building and the tomb group with the most buried emperors in the world today.
  The construction of the Ming Tombs began in the seventh year of Ming Yongle (1409) and ended in the early Qing Dynasty, which lasted more than 200 years. According to the order of the construction time of the mausoleum, they are: Changling (Tomb of Emperor Yongle), Xianling (Tomb of Emperor Hongxi), Jingling (Tomb of Emperor Xuande), Yuling (Tomb of Emperor Zhengtong (that is, Emperor Tianshun)), Maoling (Tomb of Emperor Tianshun) Chenghua Emperor’s Tomb), Tailing (Hongzhi Emperor’s Tomb), Kangling (Zhengde Emperor’s Tomb), Yongling (Jiajing Emperor’s Tomb), Zhaoling (Longqing Emperor’s Tomb), Dingling (Wanli Emperor’s Tomb), Qingling (Taichang Emperor’s Tomb) Emperor’s Mausoleum), Deling (Tianqi Emperor’s Mausoleum), Siling (Chongzhen Emperor’s Mausoleum). In addition to the 13 emperors buried in the mausoleum area, there are also 23 empresses, 1 imperial concubine and dozens of palace officials who were buried. In addition, there are 7 concubine graves in the mausoleum area (East Well, West Well, Tomb of Concubine Wangui, Mourning Tomb, Tomb of Four Concubines and Two Princes, Tomb of Concubine Xian, Tomb of Concubine Zheng and Tombs of Concubines Erli, Liu, and Zhou) ) and a eunuch’s burial tomb (Wang Chengen’s tomb), as well as various buildings such as palaces and gardens serving the emperor’s mausoleum. City walls were built at 10 natural mountain passes (Dongshan Pass, Zhongshan Pass, Zhazikou, Xishan Pass, Desheng Pass, Yanzi Pass, Zhuishi Pass, Xianzhuang Pass, Huiling Pass, and Laojuntang Pass) around the mausoleum. , Barrier walls and other defensive facilities to protect the safety of the mausoleum area.


  The construction of the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty was divided into several steps: the selection of the mausoleum site, the formulation of regulations, and the preparation of materials for construction. The selection of the mausoleum site is the primary link in the construction of the mausoleum. Generally, firstly, the first and second-rank officials of the DPRK will lead the Fengshui surveyors to follow the theory of Fengshui, “the shape of the mountain from the outside, and the land veins from the inside”. The emperor, if necessary, draws a picture, pastes a description, and finally decides by the emperor.


  After Cheng Zu Zhu Di proclaimed himself emperor, he planned to move the capital from Nanjing to Beijing. In the sixth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1408), Zhu Di ordered Zhao Yan, Minister of Rites, to lead Jiangxi warlock Liao Junqing and others to visit the mausoleum near Beijing. After more than a year, the auspicious soil for thousands of years was finally found in the Huangtu Mountain in Changping. Zhu Di then sealed Huangtu Mountain as Tianshou Mountain, and decreed to encircle the area with a radius of 80 li as the forbidden area of ​​the mausoleum.


  The layout of the tombs of the Ming Tombs is not in accordance with the “Zhou Li” method of left and right, but with the respected ones in the main veins and the humble ones in the secondary veins (remaining veins). Changling is the first tomb of the Ming Tombs. It is located in the middle of the main peak of Tianshou Mountain, and other tombs are arranged around it. Among the Ming Tombs, Changling is the largest, followed by Yongling and Dingling, and Siling is the smallest. Mausoleum construction methods can be divided into three types: one is the mausoleum built by the emperor during his lifetime, which is large in scale and richly decorated (such as Changling Tomb, Yongling Mausoleum, and Ding Tomb); The posthumous edict of “building a mausoleum” may be affected by the burial period and national power, and the scale is small and relatively simple (such as Xianling and Jingling); the third is that the emperor will not have time to build the mausoleum during his lifetime, and the next dynasty will build it after the change of dynasty (such as Siling).
  The Ming Tombs are famous all over the world for their majestic scale, complete cemetery system, solemn and harmonious layout, beautiful and quiet scenery, and elegant and simple style. In 1957, it was listed as the first batch of key ancient buildings and cultural relics protection units in Beijing. In 1961, it was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit. In 1982, the Ming Tombs and Badaling were listed as one of the national key scenic spots protection areas as a complete scenic spot. On July 3, 2003, the Ming Tombs, as an expansion project of the royal tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, were approved by the 27th United Nations World Heritage Conference and included in the “World Heritage List”.
