Old photo album-Shenyang Forbidden City

Outside the main entrance of Shenyang Forbidden City and Daqing Gate, there are two cross-street wooden archways with the same style, named "Wendefang" in the east and "Wugong Square" in the west. Both of them are four-column three-story buildings with glazed tile roofs.

Dismount the horse monument, officials below the king and others will dismount here.

Shenyang imperial palace east gate

Shenyang Imperial Palace, located in the center of the old city of Shenyang, Liaoning Province, was built in the tenth year of Tiancong (5 years from tomorrow, A.D. 1625) and the first year of Chongde in Qing Dynasty (9 years of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty, A.D. 1636), covering an area of 60,000 square meters, with 50 rooms. It is a palace built by Nuerhachi and Huang Taiji, also known as Shengjing Palace, before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. Fu Lin, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, acceded to the throne here and proclaimed himself emperor. After the Qing Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing, it became the "capital palace". From the tenth year of Kangxi (167 1) to the ninth year of Daoguang (1829), the Qing emperor 1 1 paid homage to the ancestral tomb and was stationed here and expanded. Shenyang Palace Museum, one of the two most complete palace buildings in China, has been transformed into Shenyang Palace Museum.

The Daqingmen, the main entrance of Shenyang Forbidden City, is the place where civil and military officials wait for the imperial court. This is a building with five mountains. The main ridge, the vertical ridge and the "stilts" of the two mountains are all inlaid with colored glass. ?

Chongzheng Hall is located in the middle of the front yard of the Forbidden City Middle Road. The whole hall is made of wood, with five hard hills and nine purlins. The top of the hall is covered with yellow glazed tiles with green edges. The pillars of the hall are square and round. The two pillars are connected by a carved dragon. It was the "Golden Throne Hall" in the period of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, and it was the place where Emperor Taizong handled important affairs in his daily life. In A.D. 1636, a ceremony was held here to change the title of the country from the late Jin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Jiaqing and Daoguang all sat here to receive congratulations from ministers when they toured Shengjing.

The "fair and square" plaque hanging above the Chongzheng Hall was written by the emperor shunzhi. Eight golden dragons are carved around the throne of the emperor below, and the emperor, the real dragon emperor, happens to be nine dragons.

The east and west wing rooms on both sides of Chongzheng Hall are called left and right doors respectively. Passing through the left and right righteous gates is the gateway to the "Phoenix House" in the harem.

?

The four corners of the gable of Chongzheng Hall are inlaid with stilts with high relief and colorful glass, and the middle of the stilts is "Yellow Dragon with Green Bottom".

Phoenix House, formerly known as Xiangfeng House, is the gatehouse of the inner courtyard of Qingning Palace, and also a place for banquets and discussions. It is a three-story pavilion with glazed tile roof, located on a mountain more than 20 meters high and built on a 4-meter-high blue brick base. The upper beam is decorated with red golden dragon paintings; Intermediate indoor flowers include Sanskrit, Phoenix and seal script, where Empress Dowager Cixi often studies or takes a nap. The lower floor is the inner palace gate, which is the passage in and out of the palace area. There are dozens of steps leading to the stage.

Phoenix Tower was the tallest building in Shengjing at that time. Climb to the top of the building and you can have a panoramic view of Shengjing. You can also watch the sunrise. "Phoenix Terrace Dawn" was one of the eight famous scenic spots in Shengjing that year. The plaque "Purple Gas from the East" hanging on the gatehouse is Gan Long's imperial pen. Qianlong used this allusion to imply that the national movement of the Qing Dynasty arose in the East.

Between Chongzheng Hall and Phoenix Terrace

Qingning Palace is a hard-mountain building with five bays, which is the "middle palace" where Emperor Taizong and Queen Borzigit lived. The east room is open, and there is a warm pavilion in the east room, and there are fire kang in the north and south rooms, which is the place where the emperor lives. On the west side, there are places where the Qing Palace holds informal banquets and shaman sacrifices. On the west kang, there are shrines, shrines and sacrificial supplies.

Qingning Palace, located on the central axis of Shenyang Forbidden City, from front to back is: Daqingmen, Chongzheng Hall, Phoenix Terrace and Qingning Palace. It is the fourth courtyard on the central axis, the middle palace among the five bedrooms of Huang Taiji, and four wings facing south. Courtyard form, plane layout, separation and connection of indoor space, appearance and decorative features all reflect the lifestyle and aesthetic customs of Manchu people and the characteristics of royal architecture.

The building on the west side of Xige, from Chongzheng Hall to Qingning Palace, is called Xige, commonly known as Xigong, and is the palace where the emperor and queen of the East Tour are stationed.

Diguang Hall, located in the Second Hospital of Xisuo, was the place where the emperor handled daily affairs during his east tour. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the plaque of Emperor Qianlong's imperial system was hung, and the imperial poem "Ode to Ruishu" on the vertical screen of lacquer wood was written by Emperor Gaozong Li Hongdong of the Qing Dynasty when he visited Shengjing. The name of Diguangtang was decided by Emperor Qianlong, meaning to enlighten and shine the light of ancestors' strategies and achievements.

Out of the West Railway Station, I went to visit Xigong Road Building instead. The main buildings on West Road are Wenshui Pavilion and Theater. Wenshui Pavilion, built in the forty-seventh year of Qianlong (1782), has two external floors and three indoor floors, with two bright and three dark. Doors, windows and columns are all green with black glazed tiles, which is said to be based on "the water in the north is black", and black represents water. Because Wensui Pavilion was specially built for storing Sikuquanshu, the book is the most fire-averse, with a black tile on the top, which means "water and fire are incompatible".

?

Opposite Wensui Pavilion, there is a corridor of Chaoshou Temple connecting Yang Xizhai. Yang Xizhai, built in 47-48 years of Qianlong (1782- 1783), was the study room where the Qing emperor read, wrote and painted in Shengjing Palace when he traveled eastward.

Monument Pavilion, located on the east side of Wensui Pavilion, was built in Qianlong 47-48 (1782- 1783). It is a square pavilion with red walls and yellow tiles. In the pavilion, there is a stone tablet with a combination of Manchu and Chinese, and the front is engraved with "Wen Sui Pavilion", which describes the compilation process of Sikuquanshu. The back is engraved with "On Song Xiaozong", all written by Emperor Qianlong. ?

?

The stage, built in 46-48 years in Qianlong (178 1 ~ 1783), was built for the Qing emperor to enjoy the opera when he traveled eastward. The roof of the green tile roll shed, with its back facing south and north, is located on the abutment less than 1 m high, with a countertop of about 30 square meters, and even a veranda and dressing room.

The East Road of Shenyang Imperial Palace Complex, from the East Palace Gate to the north, is followed by the Ten Kings Pavilion and the Dazheng Hall.

?

Grand main hall, commonly known as octagonal hall, was built in 1625. It is an important palace built by Nurhachi, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty. It has octagonal double eaves, long corridors on all sides and Sumitomo's pedestal below. The top of the hall is covered with yellow glazed tiles with green edges and a fire bead top in the middle. There are eight chains around Baoding, which are respectively connected with Lux.

?

There are two open columns in front of the temple, each with a golden dragon plate column, and there are Sanskrit smallpox and dragon-descending algae wells in the hall. There are thrones, screens, smoke stoves, incense pavilions and crane candlesticks in the hall. This hall is the place where the Qing Taizong held important ceremonies and important political activities. 1644 (the first year of Shunzhi), Fu Lin ascended the throne here. ?

The Ten Kings Pavilion, located on both sides of the south side of the main hall, is a reflection of the Manchu Eight Banners system in palace architecture. The five pavilions on the east side are left-wing Wang Pavilion, Qi Pavilion, Zhenghongqi Pavilion, Lanqi Pavilion and Baiqi Pavilion from north to south. The five pavilions on the west side are right-wing Wang Pavilion, Yellow Flag Pavilion, Red Flag Pavilion, Zhenglan Banner Pavilion and Zhengbai Banner Pavilion. Ten Kings Pavilion is the place where the main flag of the Eight Banners, Baylor and ministers discussed and handled government affairs in the early Qing Dynasty. This architectural form should be a tent born out of ethnic minorities.

After visiting the main hall, turn to the East Hall of Zhonglu Building Complex. Dongsuo was built in the 13th year of Qianlong (1748). This is the palace where Empress Dowager Cixi traveled eastward. Because it is located in the east of Chongzheng Hall, it is called Dongsuo. ?

?

?

Jiezhi Palace, built from the 11th year of Qianlong to the 13th year of Qianlong (1746 ~ 1748), was the living room of the Empress Dowager during her stay in Shengjing with the Emperor, and the Emperor led his concubines here to greet the Empress Dowager every day.

?

Yihe Hall, built from the 11th year of Qianlong to the 13th year of Qianlong (1746 ~ 1748), was the place where Empress Dowager Cixi held ceremonies and summoned the wives of princes and ministers.

?

Out of Dongsuo, go through Chongzheng Hall to the exit.

?

The sundial is a kind of time measuring instrument in ancient China, which uses the shadow of the sun to measure time. It usually consists of bronze needles and stone faces.

?

Walk out of Shenyang Forbidden City from the west gate. Although the area of Shenyang Imperial Palace is less than one tenth of that of Beijing Imperial Palace, it is still worth seeing as a palace before entering the Qing Dynasty.
