This is the first time that Su Shi is a well-known writer and artist in ancient my country.

His art, thoughts and even the taste of life have had a profound impact on later generations, and he himself has become a highly admired model of literati.

Many paintings depicting the lives of ladies are based on the secret and exquisite courtyard landscape. The women in the courtyard often fold flowers, take a rest, or practice characters, practice piano, and take care of babies. Basho plays an indispensable role as a background in the painting of such figures. It not only expands the picture space and strengthens the depth of field, but also adds the tenderness and tactful sentiment of the boudoir girl with its meaning of lovesickness

很多表现仕女生活的绘画以隐秘精巧的庭院景观为背景，庭院中的女性或常在其中拈花、休憩，或是习字练琴、照看婴孩。芭蕉作为此类人物绘画中的配景有着不可或缺的作用，不仅能拓展画面空间、加强景深，还以其蕴含的相思之意增添了深闺女子的柔美与婉转情思….

The Imperial Palace seen so many countless seasonally transitional equinoxes but further its six hundred years is iconic, but it’s five hundred ninety nine years it marks it Autumn Equinox…. In which it only took twelve years to build the same of the Daming Palace of The Tang Dynasty Xian Imperial Capital only it was least twenty times larger……

How does the Forbidden City worship the moon- What kind of moon cakes are in the Forbidden City?…?  In which this year of the Rat on 1st October 2020 it’s the Mid-Autumn festival in which on the Same Day it’s the National Day of the China- People’s Republic of China …… In the Qing Dynasty, the most distinctive mooncakes in the Forbidden City during the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are many types of Qing Gong moon cakes, including sesame oil and flour pastry moon cakes, refined butter and flour butter- butter moon cakes, and lard and flour moon cakes. There are sugar filling, fruit filling (candied preserved fruit), Chengsha (fine bean paste after filtering) filling, date filling, and sweet and salty moon cakes with sesame and salt. The wooden molds used in the Qing palace to make moon cakes have eight sizes, which constitute the “disparity” between the size and weight of the moon cakes in the Qing palace. Whether the moon cakes of the Qing palace are used by the emperor and queen of the Qing Dynasty, or used for sacrifices and rewards, the specifications and sizes of the moon cakes are all complete sets. According to the archives, the mooncakes on the table of the Qing Palace Festival Moon Offerings are arranged in a tower shape from small to large. The top mooncake has a diameter of two inches (about 6.6 cm), and the bottom of the large mooncake is two feet (about 70 cm) in diameter. The pear-wood moon cake mold is printed with patterns of Guanghan Palace, laurel and jade rabbit holding a pestle.

紫禁城的月饼是什么样….清代，紫禁城过中秋节最有特色的就数月饼。清宫月饼种类很多，有用香油和面制成的香酥皮月饼，也有用精炼后的奶油和面制的奶酥油月饼，还有猪油和面的月饼。有糖馅、果馅（蜜饯果脯）、澄沙（过滤后很细的豆沙）馅、枣馅，还有芝麻椒盐的甜咸馅月饼。清宫制作月饼所用木模有大小八种规格，构成了清宫的月饼大小与重量的“悬殊”。清宫月饼不论是清帝后御用，还是祭祀月供、赏赐所用，月饼的规格、大小都是成套的。据档案记载，清宫祭月供桌上的月饼由小至大摆成塔形，顶尖月饼直径两寸（约六点六厘米），最底的大月饼直径两尺（约七十厘米），皆用梨木月饼模子印制，模子内刻广寒宫殿、桂树和持杵玉兔等图案。

How does the Forbidden City worship the moon?  In which this year of the Rat on 1st October 2020 it’s the Mid-Autumn festival in which on the Same Day it’s the National Day of the China- People’s Republic of China …… On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon was sky full, and the entire Forbidden City was bathed in clear moonlight. In the palace to worship the month, it is also called the monthly payment. The Shengping Department needs someone to “recite the fast” before the monthly payment, that is, to recite the prayer. The monthly payment lasts about half an hour, and the confession must be set up in accordance with the “auspicious position” provided by the Qin Tianjian. The “Moonlight God Code” must be placed in the center of the confession. In addition, colourful painted moon cakes, seasonal fruits, incense burners, tea, wine, etc. must be placed. It highlights the meaning of ripe fruit and good grain harvest in more than half a year. In addition to the moonlight god code, there is also a clay sculpture jade rabbit statue for children to worship. The jade rabbit no longer looks like pounding medicine, but is made into a human shape and wears a crown. This clay sculpture jade rabbit is respected by people as the “Year Rabbit

紫禁城如何祭月？……..中秋晚上皓月当空，整个紫禁城沐浴在清色的月光下。宫内祭月，又称为月供，昇平署需有人在月供前“念斋意”，即诵念祷文。月供时长约在半个小时，要按照钦天监提供的“吉位”摆设供案。供案正中要摆“月光神码”，此外还要摆放彩画圆光月饼、时令鲜果、香炉、茶、酒等。突出了一年过半瓜果成熟、粮食丰收的寓意。祭月除用月光神码外，还有一种给儿童祭拜用的泥塑玉兔像。玉兔不再是捣药的样子，而是做成人形，还要穿戴衣冠，这种泥塑玉兔被人们尊称为“兔儿爷…

In this year’s 2020, the second decade from the turn of the century in Beijing the Capital of China also the People’s Republic of China, in which is also the year of the rat, marking its six hundred years anniversary of the Forbidden city that marks the transitional point of in between the middle of the Ming Dynasty (1368- 1644) transitionally from Nanjing to Beijing towards the Qing Dynasty (1636-1644-1911) …. The Imperial Palace seen so many countless seasonally transitional equinoxes but further its six hundred years is iconic, but it’s five hundred ninety nine years it marks it Autumn Equinox…. In which it only took twelve years to build the same of the Daming Palace of The Tang Dynasty Xian Imperial Capital only it was least twenty times larger……

From September 1st to October 30th 2020, 千古风流人物#-A special exhibition of paintings and calligraphy on the theme of Su Shi from the Palace Museum is on display in Wenhua Hall. ……This time the Palace Museum held an exhibition with cultural relics as a carrier to show Su Shi’s artistic attainments and personality style. This is the first time that Su Shi is a well-known writer and artist in ancient my country. Because of its elegant life taste and open-minded attitude towards life, it exudes a unique personality charm. His art, thoughts and even the taste of life have had a profound impact on later generations, and he himself has become a highly admired model of literati.

Su Shi 蘇軾 / 苏轼；8 January 1037 – 24 August 1101), courtesy name Zizhan (子瞻), art name Dongpo 東坡was a Chinese calligrapher, gastronome, painter, pharmacologist, poet, politician, and writer of the Song dynasty. A major personality of the Song era, Su was an important figure in Song Dynasty politics, aligning himself with Sima Guang and others, against the New Policy party led by Wang Anshi.

Su Shi is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished figures in classical Chinese literature, having produced some of the most well-known poems, lyrics, prose, and essays. Su Shi was famed as an essayist, and his prose writings lucidly contribute to the understanding of topics such as 11th-century Chinese travel literature or detailed information on the contemporary Chinese iron industry. His poetry has a long history of popularity and influence in China, Japan, and other areas in the near vicinity……

Su Shi’s pursuit of life aesthetics has had a profound impact on later generations of literati. His elegant life style and open-minded attitude towards life have made Su Shi a model respected and admired by scholars in the past. His life was ups and downs, legendary, and left a lot of anecdotes. Due to the admiration of Su Shi by later generations, many anecdotes have also been attached to Su Shi. Scholars and doctors in the Northern Song Dynasty were popular in tasting antiques, and Su Shi and his friends Wang Xu, Li Gonglin, Mi Fu and company…. was all famous for their appreciation of ancient times. When the wind of antique appreciation resumed in the late Ming Dynasty, there appeared a kind of paintings with the theme of “Dongpo Pingu”. Qiu Ying’s “Dongpo Pingutu” opened one of his “Character Story Atlas”. The picture depicts a scene of three scribes tasting antique calligraphy and painting together in the courtyard. One of them has a dress similar to that of Su Shi. The title of the painting may be “Dongpo Pingu”

What happens when I meet the Forbidden City on Mid-Autumn Festival …? …The “three autumn and nine months, mid-autumn and eight months”. The fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month is exactly the midpoint of the seven, eight, and nine months of autumn. At this time, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the water plants are lush, the fruits are ripe, and the bright moon in the night reflects the Chinese people’s interest in the Mid-autumn Festival With special feelings and sentiments, the moon has naturally become the eternal theme of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

苏轼对于生活美学的追求，对后世的文人产生了极为深远的影响。其高雅的生活品味与豁达的人生态度，使苏轼成为了历代文人雅士所崇敬和追慕的典范。他的一生跌宕起伏，富有传奇色彩，也留下了大量的逸闻趣事。由于后人对苏轼的仰慕，很多逸事也被附会在苏轼身上。北宋时期的文人士大夫盛行品鉴古玩，苏轼及其友人王诜、李公麟、米芾等都以鉴古知名。当古玩鉴赏之风在晚明复炽之时，便出现了一种以“东坡品古”为题材的绘画作品。仇英《东坡品古图》为其《人物故事图》册之一开，画面描绘了三位文士在庭院中一同品鉴古玩字画的场景，其中一人的衣冠状貌与苏轼相近，据此推测其画题或为“东坡品古”

【当中秋节遇见紫禁城会怎样？】所谓“三秋九月，中秋八月之中”。农历八月十五恰是秋季七、八、九三个月的中点，此时天高云淡，水草丰美，瓜果成熟，夜色中的一轮明月更是映出了中国人对中秋节特殊的感情和情思，月亮自然成为是中秋永恒的主题。
