The series of academic activities and more than 40 public activities held in conjunction with it also open a window for the public to understand cultural heritage and get in touch with historical civilization.

　At the “Museum Expo”, intelligent and digital technologies have become a highlight of the exhibition.

During the four days, the exhibition hall was packed with people, the interactive exhibition area formed long queues, and various academic lectures, forums and cultural activities were packed with people. The discussion about the “Museum Expo” on social media also continued to rise, and various short videos, graphic reports emerged, stimulating more people’s interest in museums and cultural heritage.

“You can’t see the real thing in such detail.” In the exhibition hall of the Palace Museum, visitors can not only see the real scene of the Palace Museum through the big screen, but also “play” with exquisite cultural relics at their fingertips. The 360-degree rotating cultural relics are clearly visible on the high-resolution screen, and the text explanation of their origins and development easily brings people into the story of the cultural relics. “Currently, more than 100,000 of the 1.86 million pieces (sets) of cultural relics have been digitized, and this number increases by at least 20,000 every year.” Li Yingchong, section chief of the public education group of the Palace Museum, told reporters that the transformation of physical collections into digital collections will not reduce the value of cultural heritage, but will be more conducive to the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage.

#北京。 #中國 #China #Beijing | #紫禁城 #ForbiddenCity #July2022 | #ForbiddenCityMoments #ForbiddenCityArchitecture the Intriguingly interesting rooftops Architecture of  the Forbidden City……

On this week on July 2022 let’s take a look at the interesting rooftops in the Forbidden City this week in its intriguiness… it was hot humid very warmingly  Saturday now it’s the Summery Days of  , the summery  days are gradually approaching, the weather is sultry, everyone must pay attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling by keeping Hydrated cool water..  ~

Let’s go back to the Forbidden City this week and take a look at the interesting roofs in the Forbidden City~

Hall of Supreme Harmony

Speaking of the various palaces, halls and halls, pavilions and corridors in the Forbidden City, from the outside, these roofs look very similar, almost all of them are glazed tiles. But a closer look reveals that these roofs actually come in a variety of different types. For example, the main palace used by the emperor not only has a tall base and a magnificent shape, but also has special decorations on the roof, while other houses are not only small in size, but also not too complicated in roof decoration. The side halls and the bungalows will be different according to the status of the main palace, and the roof style will also be different. So today, let’s take a look at the various roofs in the Forbidden City with you~

South Sansuo
Yuhua Pavilion

The first one is the “Dianding Roof”. Those who are familiar with the architecture of the Forbidden City should be familiar with this roof. It is suitable for rectangular buildings. Since the face width is longer than the depth, the front and rear slopes of the roof become positive ridges. In the Qing Dynasty The “Engineering Practice” called it “big ridge”. The left and right slopes intersect with the front and rear slopes to form four vertical ridges, so the single-ridged temple is also called the “Five-ridged Hall” of the four major slopes. In addition, there are two layers of eaves called “double eaves hall”. The top of the double-eave roof is the most noble form of roof style. The Hall of Supreme Harmony that everyone is most familiar with is the roof of the double-eave roof.

Fengxian Hall

Next is “hard top and hanging top”. The hard top is on the two ends of the base of the house foundation. Build the gable to the top, and build the purlin into the gable to seal it, so that four vertical ridges and two slopes will be formed. roof. Hanging tops (also known as “pick tops”), the roof form is generally the same as the hard tops, but also has a positive ridge, four vertical ridges and two slopes. The difference between the two roofs is that the purlins of the roofs extend beyond the gables, and the wind panels are nailed along the two purlin heads to protect the purlins from decay and also protect the gables. This design is really very delicate, considering the appearance and protection.

Emperor Palace
Yunguang Building

The Yunguang Building is in the shape of a curved ruler, leaning against the palace wall in the west, folded from north to south and then eastward. There are two floors up and down. The north side of the upper roof is the Xieshan Peak, and the east side is the Hard Peak.

Concord Gate The Xiehe Gate is a house-style gate, with yellow glazed tiles and single eaves on the top of the mountain.

​

There is also a roof design that combines the top of the temple and the top of the hanging mountain, that is, the “Xieshan Peak”. On the upper part of the roof, the four vertical ridges at both ends of the main ridge are similar to those on the top of the hanging mountain. The lower part of the roof has four ridges plus the main ridge, a total of nine ridges, so it is also called “Nine Ridges Hall”. There are also single eaves and double eaves on Xieshan Peak. In addition to the Xieshan Peak, there is also a “Zanjiao”, which is generally used for square plane buildings, and its form is divided into four-corner Zanjiao and round Zanjiao. The four-cornered pointed roof is divided into four equal parts, with four vertical ridges on top of the Anbaoding. The round and pointed roof has no ridges, and the roof tiles gradually shrink from bottom to top, which is called “bamboo roof”. Seeing this, the editor thinks that the roof really contains a lot of interesting little knowledge. When you come to visit, you might as well take a look at which roofs are in the Forbidden City~

The Forbidden City 100 Excellent Books  is one  is “The Forbidden City 100″ is a work carefully created by Mr. Zhao Guangchao, his design, cultural team and the cultural research and development team of the Forbidden City for many years. This book can firstly understand the six hundred years more of history of the Forbidden City. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, a total of 24 emperors lived, lived and exercised the highest state power here. In 1911, the Qing emperor abdicated. In 1913, the Antiquities Exhibition was built in the Forbidden City. In 1924, Puyi left the palace. In 1925, the Palace Museum was established.

One Hundred Excellent Books in the Forbidden City The Ming Empire initially chose Fengyang as the capital, and then settled in Nanjing (1368). When Zhu Di, the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had just ascended the throne (1406 in the fourth year of Shui Le), he dispatched the imperial court to China. The officers collected building materials from all over the country, distributed 100,000 craftsmen, more than one million people, and built the Forbidden City in Beijing on a larger scale on the former site of the palace in the Yuan Dynasty, based on the Nanjing Palace City. In the eighteenth year of Yongle’s reign (1420), the palace city was completed, and Zhu Di immediately moved the capital from Nanjing to his own land of Longxing, and Peiping became the largest city in the country (and the world at that time) from the beginning.

The newly built Miyagi moved about 1,000 meters eastward from the ruins of the Forbidden City in the Yuan Dynasty, and moving away from today’s Beihai Park means to some extent from the Yuan people’s customs of “living by water and grass”, back to the stable farming in the Han culture. on the pattern. The new palace pushes the fate of the Yuan people’s annihilation to the position of the white tiger killed by the main Tibetan in the five elements in the west, and then uses the building materials left over from the construction of the palace, together with the soil for excavating the moat, to build a hill behind the palace (Jingshan Mountain). ), creating a barrier against the cold north wind for the originally flat Miyagi, becoming the commanding height of the Forbidden City and even the city of Beijing at that time, and also the backing of Wanshi Foundation.

“Forbidden City 100” entered the Forbidden City. Jingren Palace is one of the six east palaces that everyone is familiar with, and it retains a relatively complete appearance of the Ming Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, it was called Chang’an Palace and was renamed Jingren Palace in Jiajing. The Qing Dynasty followed the old name of the Ming Dynasty. The most special feature of Jingren Palace is that there is a stone screen in the front yard that was passed down from the Yuan Dynasty (the symmetrical Yongshou Palace also has the same stone screen). Although the center of the screen is only about 2 cm thick, the patterns on both sides are different. In addition, the shape of the seated beast on Shiping is very rare in the palace, and it is exquisite and vivid. “Animal style” has existed in China since ancient times. The beauty of masonry in the Yuan and Ming dynasties and the concise style of the Qing Dynasty are placed in the same space. All of a sudden, this palace seems to have become a history of modern Chinese sculpture, and it even evokes the legendary antecedents of the masters who once lived here. Here, it was originally the birthplace of Emperor Kangxi in the early Qing Dynasty, and the palace of the legendary concubine Zhen in the late Qing Dynasty… The

owner of the Ming Dynasty: Empress Hu (Hu Shanxiang) of Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Xuande favored concubine Sun Gui and Cricket, and ordered Empress Hu to resign on the grounds of “no children and many illnesses”, and placed them in Chang’an Palace (Jingren Palace) to practice Taoism, and was given the title “Jingci Immortal Master”. The owner of the Qing Dynasty: In the eleventh year of Shunzhi (1654), the 15-year-old Shunzhi Concubine Tong gave birth to the future Kangxi here. Concubine Xi (Qianlong’s biological mother, Niuhulu), who ascended the throne under Yongzheng, moved from Lama Temple to Jingren Palace. Concubine Zhen of Guangxu entered the palace with her elder sister Concubine Jin at the age of 14, and lived in the east and west side halls of Jingren Palace, and was finally drowned by order of the Empress Dowager Cixi…

Among the six east palaces, the history of Yanxi Palace can be described as troubled. When it was completed in the early Ming Dynasty, it was renamed Yanqi Palace after its initial name Changshou Palace, and was renamed Yanxi Palace in Qing Dynasty. Since its completion, the Yanxi Palace has suffered repeated fires: it was rebuilt in the 25th year of Kangxi (1686) and the 7th year of Jiaqing (1802). In the twelfth year of Daoguang (1832), a fire broke out, which burned down the entire Yanxi Palace and rebuilt it again. In the 25th year of Daoguang (1845), a fire broke out in the Yanxi Palace, leaving only the palace gate. Xianfeng five years (1855) fire, rebuilt again. In the first year of Xuantong’s reign (1909), Empress Dowager Longyu spent 4 million to build a Western-style building “Water Palace” Lingzhao Xuan (commonly known as Crystal Palace). Lay the glass, and when you’re done it’ll be a walk-in super aquarium. This move has the meaning of suppressing the anger and revival of the Qing Dynasty, but until Xuantong abdicated, the project was not completed. When Zhang Xun was restored in 1917, the northern part of Yanxi Palace was unfortunately destroyed by plane bombs. In the entire palace, only the wellhead is in line with the original location of the well pavilion, leaving the only remaining remains. In 1931, the Palace Museum built a new cultural relic warehouse, which eventually became the first reinforced concrete building in the palace. In recent years, the story of the palace has been exaggerated by the media, and the little-known Yanxi Palace has once again aroused everyone’s curiosity. In fact, the concubines living in this secluded palace are living in hardship and poverty, and it is said that they do not even have enough food, even clothes, shoes and socks. The owner of Yanxi Palace in the Ming Dynasty is unknown, and the owners of the Qing Dynasty include Kangxi Chang in Xu and two people whose emblems are unknown and promised to live here.

The biggest difference between the West Six Palaces and the East Six Palaces in “100 Forbidden City” is that Taiji Palace and Changchun Palace, Yikun Guan and Chuxiu Palace are all connected into one. It makes the whole palace area have a strong color of life, and also makes the remaining Yongshou Palace and Xianfu Palace appear dull. Today, we look at Yikun Palace and Chuxiu Palace through “Forbidden City 100”. The Yikun Palace was originally called Wan’an Palace, and was renamed Yikun Palace in the Jiajing Period of the Ming Dynasty .
