Articles about the Forbidden City

Looking from a distance, the magnificent Meridian Gate comes into view. The red wall more than ten meters high is carved with beautiful patterns.

The pointed roof makes it look like China. The style of ancient palace architecture; the mottled yellow tiles on the roof show us the long history of the Forbidden City and the great changes it has experienced.

After passing through the heavy red-painted gate and walking on the granite road passed by ancient kings, we

entered the Forbidden City. Wow, my eyes lit up: the wide square allows you to experience the grandeur of ancient architecture; the majestic Hall of Supreme Harmony stands behind the square. Climbing up the steps carved with lifelike dragon patterns, you enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the place where ancient kings held meetings. In the empty hall, thick pillars on both sides supported the splendid roof, and the dragon chair in the middle was covered with yellow brocade. This was the emperor's dragon chair. Looking at the dragon-carved armrests and the plaque that read "Great Light", I was filled with emotion: How many palace secrets happened around this dragon chair?

How many people died? Emperor Chongzhen fled from the Forbidden City to Jingshan and hanged himself; Emperor Yongzheng tampered with the imperial edict and ascended the throne; the story of Empress Dowager Cixi's romance in the Forbidden City became even more commonplace

Everyone knows Now... looking around, the rectangular palace wall about three kilometers long and the wide moat make the Forbidden City a fortress with tight walls, and the princes, ministers, and beauties living in it are also lost.

< p>Without freedom, what fun is there in the so-called "accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger"? I feel that today

although people’s homes are not big, they are warm and humane. I can’t help but sigh:

The times have progressed!

After passing through palaces one after another, we finally came to the Imperial Garden. Here there are many pavilions, ancient

trees, birds singing and flowers fragrant. The rockeries made of all kinds of Taihu stones are even more diverse.

There are twelve zodiac signs, clouds in the sky, etc., you can see them. In addition to the luxury of ancient kings, it was the indulgence of these Eight Banners

children that led the Eight-Power Allied Forces to capture Beijing and led to the tragedy of "Burning the Old Summer Palace"

. I secretly vowed: the lessons of history will never be repeated.

I believe that the Forbidden City itself is a treasure waiting to be discovered. Next time I come to Beijing, I will definitely

visit the old place again.
