The most beautiful snow scene in Beijing

The most beautiful place in Beijing's snow scene is the Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City, formerly known as the Forbidden City, was the imperial palace of China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is located in the center of Beijing's central axis. Covering an area of about 720,000 square meters, the building area is about 6,543,800 square meters. It is said that there are 9,999.5 palaces. According to the expert field survey of 654.38+0.973, there are 8707 rooms in the Forbidden City.

The construction of the Forbidden City began in the fourth year of Yongle (1406), based on the Forbidden City in Nanjing, and was completed in the eighteenth year of Yongle (1420), becoming the palace of the twenty-four emperors in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. On the 14th National Day of the Republic of China (1925 10/0/010), the Palace Museum was formally established and opened. The Forbidden City in Beijing is 96 1 meter long from north to south and 753 meters long from east to west. It is surrounded by a wall with a height of 10 meter and a moat with a width of 52 meters outside the city.

Architectural modeling

At that time, the front hall of the Forbidden City required magnificent architectural modeling and clear and open courtyards, symbolizing the supremacy of feudal regime. The Hall of Supreme Harmony is located in the diagonal center of the Forbidden City, with ten auspicious animals on each corner. The designers of the Forbidden City thought it would show the majesty of the emperor and shock the world. The palace behind requires depth and compactness, so the six palaces in the east, west and east are self-contained, with their own palace doors and walls, which are relatively orderly. Behind the palace is the backyard.

The Palace Museum is arranged along a north-south central axis, and the three main halls, the last three palaces and the imperial garden are all located on this central axis. And spread to both sides, straight north and south, symmetrical left and right. This central axis not only runs through the Forbidden City, but also runs through the whole city from Yongdingmen in the south to Drum Tower and Bell Tower in the north.
