Chapter two hundred and forty eight: detailing the ancient capital
When Yin Qingfeng left the East Palace, he did not return to the villa, but went to Longshouyuan. Because he took on a big job - building a nest for Li Yuan.
The palace that Yin Qingfeng is going to build still needs to be selected on Longshouyuan. In fact, the site selection work is most suitable for Lu Cai to do.
In the early Sui Dynasty, in order to build a new capital, it was believed that the Longshou Mountains and Rivers were beautiful, so it was appropriate to build a capital. The Daming Palace was located at the "head" of Longshouyuan.
But Yin Qingfeng didn't understand that the location of the Daming Palace was obviously the best, so why didn't the imperial palace be built directly at that location, but a Tai Chi Palace was built in the lowest lying place in Quanlongshouyuan.
The Tai Chi Palace was built at the location of the Daming Palace, and then the overall Chang'an City was moved eastward soon?
His idea originated from his modern experience when he had been to Xi'an. But when he put himself in Chang'an City, he realized that he was quite stupid at the time.
Just as the Forbidden City needs to correspond to the Ziwei Star in the sky, the same is true for Daxing City.
According to the location of the stars in the sky, the most noble Ziwei Palace, the North Star Palace, is located in the center of the north sky, and the palace city of Chang'an City corresponds to the Ziwei Star; the imperial city offices symbolize the Ziwei Wall surrounding the North Star; the outer city symbolizes the stars arching towards the north.
In addition to corresponding to the stars in the sky, the number of streets and arches in Daxing City is also based on the design. The four fangs in the south of the imperial city are used to symbolize the four seasons; the nine fangs in the north and south are used to make the nine kui system; the outer city on both sides of the imperial city is 13 fangs in the north and south, which are like a year of leap.
Looking down at Chang'an City from the sky, you can see that the six earthen hills in the city are very similar to the six lines of the upper Qian hexagram. The Qian hexagram belongs to Yang, called Jiu, which means from top to bottom, that is, from north to south, and in turn, is called Jiu, Jiu, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine.
Nine is an extreme number and an auspicious number.
It is believed that the nine-day lunar dragon is hidden, so don’t use it. The nine-year-old high slope is “seeing the dragon in the field”, so you can only “set the palace to be the residence of the emperor”. The nine-year-old slope, “a gentleman is healthy all day long, and he is vigilant all night, and he is vigilant without any fault.” If the government offices are placed here, it can reflect the concept of civil and military officials being strong and loyal to the emperor and diligent. Therefore, the palace city and the imperial city were arranged on the nine-year-old slopes respectively.
Nine Five is the most noble. The so-called "Nine Five Supreme" belongs to the position of "Flying Dragon". If you don't want to live in it, you will build two magnificent temples symmetrically from east to west on the central axis of this Gaogang. To the west is the Xuandu Temple of Taoism, and to the east is the Xingshan Temple of Buddhism, hoping to use the power of gods and Buddhas to suppress the imperial spirit of this place.
Pei Du, the prime minister of the middle Tang Dynasty, once took the opportunity to frame him as "the house occupied the Okabara and was not summoned to come without being summoned, and his heart was visible."
In fact, there were many famous officials living on this Gaogang in the Tang Dynasty, such as Zhang Shuo, Han Yu, Li Zongmin, Yang Guozhong, Li Sheng, and Liu Gongquan.
When he went to Xi'an in modern times, many places in Xi'an, due to urban construction, many high terrain had been flattened, which could no longer fully reflect the terrain of Chang'an City during the Tang Dynasty.
Take Goujiling as an example. Goujiling was called the Ancient Ruins after the Tang Dynasty. It was 550 meters long, 240 meters wide, and 415 meters high, and is almost the same as the height of the Daming Palace. However, since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has been shoveled down and flattened one after another, and there is no trace of the "ridge".
Remove the Feng Shui theory, the reason why Daxing City is chosen at its current location is mainly due to the constraints of the terrain.
The Ba River, Wu River and Wu River, which originate from the Qinling Mountains, cut the plains south of Longshouyuan into long strips that face southeast and northwest. Among them, the plain between Ba, Wu River and Wu River is the most open and suitable for building a city.
Even so, like the 415-meter-high Gouji Ridge and 467-meter-high Leyouyuan have to be included in the city wall.
Moreover, choosing to build a city in this location can not only conveniently divert water from the east and west sides into the city to solve the problem of urban water use, but also rely on Longshouyuan to separate the capital from the Wei River to avoid the danger of flooding the capital.
Perhaps because of modern high-rise buildings, he originally stood in the Hanyuan Hall, the highest mansion in Longshou Mountain, looking south, and could see the entire Chang'an City. But when he went to see the ruins of Hanyuan Hall, he was really disappointed, and he did not have the kind of emperor appearance as he imagined.
The Danfeng Gate on the south gate on the central axis of the Daming Palace was built only during the Li Zhi period. Others such as Xing'an Gate, Fujian Gate, Wangxian Gate and Yanzheng Gate were also built during this period, so Yin Qingfeng is now going to Longshouyuan and must go around.
The Daming Palace in history can be regarded as a four-entry large courtyard.
First entry: After entering from Danfeng Gate, the imperial road must first cross the Longshou Canal, which is four meters wide and two meters deep. There are four Xiama Bridges on the canal. After passing Xiama Bridge, there are the Jinwu Guards on the left and right, where the Jinwu Guards live. Their duty is to patrol the palace and capital every day. After the curfew, they have the right to seize suspicious figures in the square, and follow the emperor's carriage. They can use the fish talisman to enter and exit the Daming Palace to perform guard positions, including the inner court.
Going further north from the Jinwu Courtyard, it is the second city wall.
On the left and right of the city wall are Guangyuan Gate and Zhaoxun Gate. Between these two gates, there are not city gates, but two gates: East and West Gate.
Entering through the gate, the east court hall on the right and the west court hall on the left. As the name suggests, it is the place where all officials and prime ministers discuss politics.
To the north of the west court hall is the Qifeng Pavilion of the Sanshizimu Que, and to the north of the east court hall is the Xiangluan Pavilion of the Sanshizimu Que. The left and right feng Feng plus the east and west view together form the Three Outing Que.
Further north, there is a low wall, on the left is Zhaoqing Gate and on the right is Guangyao Gate, and between the two gates is a long staircase. Upon the staircase, it is Hanyuan Hall.
Hanyuan Hall belongs to the first main hall of the previous dynasty of the Daming Palace and is also a landmark building of the Tang Dynasty Chang'an City. It was built in the third year of Longshuo and destroyed in the second year of Guangqi of Emperor Xizong.
The main function of Hanyuan Hall is to hold national ceremonies, ceremonies of the great dynasty, emperors’ titles, and general amnesty. In addition to being used as rituals, Hanyuan Hall is rarely used.
The so-called "Thousands of officials look to Chang'an, and all nations worship Hanyuan", "The palace is opened in the nine heavens, and all nations worship crowns and tassels" describes the grand occasion of the Hanyuan Hall dynasty meeting.
In this entry, the office locations of all officials were concentrated: Jingzhao Yinyuan, Menxia Province, Hongwenguan, Waiting for Systems, Jixianyuan, Secretariat, Censor Beitai, Privy Council, Xuanhuiyuan, Hall of the Central Province, the Imperial Palace, and the Xuanzheng Hall of Changchao.
Walking in, it is where the concubines live.
Qiqiao Tower, Ideological Hall, Yanying Hall, Wangxiantai, Greenhouse Hall, Xuanhui Hall, Batang Hall, Lingqi Hall, Penglai Hall, Hanliang Hall, Chang'an Hall, Taihe Hall, Xuanyuan Emperor Temple, Sanqing Hall, Zhaode Temple...
For the buildings in the Daming Palace, he only wanted to change the Hanyuan Palace in the first half, and the rest should be made by Yan Lide. The part north of Xuanzheng Palace, that is, where the emperor, empress, concubine and concubine live is his key change.
The foundation of Hanyuan Hall is kept intact.
Judging from the ruins of Hanyuan Hall, the hall base is fifteen meters above the slope. The main hall is eleven rooms wide and four rooms deep. It has a secondary stairs and is located on the three-story platform. In front of the hall, there are two pavilions, Xiangluan and Qifeng Pavilions, and on both sides of the hall are the second floor of bells and drums.
There are flying corridors connected between halls, pavilions and towers, forming the shape of a "concave". This reflects the development of the "que" system since the Zhou and Han Dynasties. This "que" system has influenced the palaces of all dynasties to the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City in the Ming Dynasty.
There are phoenixes on both sides of Hanyuan Hall, and under the Qifeng Pavilion, there is a dragon tail road circling up against the platform wall. Hanyuan Hall combines the main hall and high pavilions on a "concave" plane. When people look at it, they feel like "as rising as the sun" and "as in the sky".
But Yin Qingfeng felt that the momentum was not enough.
After two days of geostriking, he came up with a new plan.
First, the position of Hanyuan Hall is raised forty meters, which exceeds the height of the southernmost Leyouyuan, and then the sides of Hanyuan Hall are raised forty meters.
After being raised, the appearance of two mountains and one hall should be formed. It should give people a sense of momentum: one hall is a gate that cannot be opened without opening.
In addition to creating momentum, a water tower must be installed on the back of these two mountains. With these two water towers, the entire palace complex can use "tap water".
Because he raised the height, he planned to move the base of the Wanshou Mountain Shangfo Xiang Pavilion in the Summer Palace and match it with the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City.
Whether it is a hundred officials or a foreign envoy, after entering the Danfeng Gate, they must keep looking up at Hanyuan Hall and immediately feel awe.
The biggest difference between the shape of the Taihe Hall and the Tang Dynasty palace is the roof. The Taihe Hall has a double-eaved hip roof, while the Tang Dynasty palace has a single-eaved hip roof. This has an extra layer of eaves, making the majestic atmosphere even stronger.
In addition to single eaves and double eaves, the ridge beasts on the roof of the hall are also different.
The ridge beast is developed from the kiss beast or the chubby kiss, and is located on the main and drooping ridges on the roof of the temple.
The Song Dynasty said that the kissing beast originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was also a Chinese saying compiled in the Song Dynasty that things like "the fish is like a chubby tail" in the cypress palace in the Han Dynasty have the function of "avoiding fire".
The original kissing beast was not a dragon-shaped one, just like the restoration of the Daming Palace, just two simple raised ups made of tiles on the heads.
By the middle and late periods of the Tang Dynasty, the lower part of the kissing beast was the head of the beast with a mouth and ridge, while the upper part was still similar to the tail of the trolley.
The Jin Dynasty showed a dragon-shaped kiss, the dragon head swallowed the ridge, and the dragon tail curled inward, which was called the "dragon kiss". During the Yuan Dynasty, the tail gradually changed to curling outward, and the sword hilt appeared on the back.
After the Ming Dynasty, dragon kisses gradually became popular, and they were called big kisses. The tail was completely rolled backwards, and there were little dragons on their bodies.
In the official buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the kisses were all made into a dragon head shape, and the upper part was bent inwardly and curled outwardly. The body was shaped with dragon scales, dragon claws inside, and a small dragon was shaped with a sword handle on the back of the kiss, and a small beast head protruded on the side of the kiss. Such a straight spine was called a kiss beast.
While the kissing beasts are constantly changing, the ridge beasts also appear accordingly.
A ridge beast is also called a squat beast or a walking beast.
In the highest-level buildings, the order of the beasts is: the first one is the immortal, then the dragon, phoenix, lion, qilin, Tianma, seahorse, fish, zodiac, and monkey. The lower the level of the owner of the house, the number of beasts will also decrease accordingly.
Li Shimin should be able to accept adding another floor of palace eaves. After all, he had seen the gatehouse of the Qiwei Tower, but the content of the Jijin Beast was uncertain. He planned to make a model first to see if he agreed. If he agreed, add it, and if he didn't agree, he would take it down.
After changing the Hanyuan Palace, the most important part will be the next one.
The Old Summer Palace has always been a pain for the Chinese.
He wanted to spend some time reappearing it in the Tang Dynasty.
"Yuanmingyuan", this name was named by Xuanye. The meaning of "Yuanming" Yinzhen explained the word "Yuanming" is: round and enters the spirit, and is the time of a gentleman; bright and shining is the wisdom of an expert. "Yuanming" means that personal morality is perfect and surpasses ordinary people; "Ming" means that political achievements are bright and bright, perfect and wise.
This can be said to be the ideal standard for the ruling class in the feudal era touted wise rulers and wise ministers.
He thought this name was good, and even if he hated the Qing Tartars, he would still borrow it.
The Old Summer Palace has an area of more than 350 hectares, and the area north of Xuanzheng Hall is larger than this.
The construction area of the Old Summer Palace is 200,000 square meters and more than 150 views, and it can do much larger than it.
He could not recreate the scenery of Qichun Garden and Changchun Garden one by one. He only needed to identify certain buildings that could be built here based on his understanding of the Old Summer Palace and Suzhou gardens according to local conditions. Yan Lide had to do what should be built and what kind of architectural style.
His focus is on Western building scenic spots.
He is familiar with the architectural style that is very contrary to ancient Chinese elements.
When reappearing the Old Summer Palace, it didn't take long. Because he didn't need to mine, transport and carve stones such as white marble. Where stones were needed in the buildings, he could just use cement and ceramic tiles instead. Porcelain is always from China.
While studying, he went to the Old Summer Palace several times. He had no other thoughts except for being angry and feeling the humiliation suffered by the Chinese people, until he accidentally watched a movie called "Sounds".
Afterwards, he read a lot of information about the Old Summer Palace and went to the Old Summer Palace twice. Sometimes he wondered what it was like without being destroyed by war, and how the person living in it was obsessed with it.
Reappearing the Old Summer Palace in the Daming Palace not only can realize his dream, but also have two other meanings.
Historical books record a foolish monarch who said how he built a large-scale construction, either building a palace or a garden. He presented the most beautiful garden in the history of the earth. In the future, the possibility of the owners here surpassing it is extremely low.
Since you don’t have to spend some time on this, just spend some time on governing the country.
The second meaning is to justify the name of the craftsmen.
The word "年" appeared in the oracle bone inscriptions of Yinxu, referring to the officials who managed craftsmen at that time. It also records that the Zhou Dynasty and the princes had an institution in charge of construction.
Later, this system was developed throughout the years, with the design and construction of projects such as "Masters of the Scholars, Shaofu Supervisors or Works Departments" in central institutions, managing palaces, temples, tombs, city defense and water conservancy projects.
As for the full-time officials who undertake specific work, they are called "craftsmen" and "general craftsmen" in the Tang Dynasty. Ancient buildings are mainly made of wood structures, and carpenters are called "duomei craftsmen". In fact, these famous craftsmen are engaged in design and drawing and preside over the construction of the project.
"The common people are officials" and have no political status, so they are rarely listed in historical records and become famous in later generations.
If it weren't for the closer era, how could the Lei family, closely related to the Forbidden City, be well-known? Historical books record more about civil officials who ruled the world and military generals who turned the tide and expanded their territory. Who remembers those craftsmen, even if they were going to be master craftsmen?
The work of the supervisor is different from the Ministry of Works. The work of the supervisor is a concentration of a group of craftsmen, while the work of the supervisor is a kind of political institution. The content of responsibility is also different.
He will be the son-in-law in the future, and now he has attracted much attention because of Yongye Group. In addition, if he wants to develop business, he must let the world know, understand and respect the profession of craftsmen.
How will he be recorded in history books after a few years? At least he must be on the list of designers in the Daming Palace. A generation of emperors and sons-in-law are craftsmen? Who dares to look down on craftsmen? After all, construction craftsmen are also a category of craftsmen. Are you still worried about not finding the latest chapters of the novel?
