Wei Zi Sage

The origin of the name of the Forbidden City:

This museum used to be called the Forbidden City. From the fourth year of Yongle to 18, it began with the emperor, and after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, 24 emperors were in power here. Forbidden City, Imperial Palace, Red Wall Yellow Why did you deliberately change the Imperial Palace into the Forbidden City? The following three arguments: one argument is that this is not the same as the old story of "purple gas coming from the East". According to legend, Lao Tzu went abroad, and the purple gas came from the east. The gatekeeper saw him. Not long after, Lao Tzu rode a blue-green cow, and the gatekeeper knew that he was a saint. Gatekeeper, Lao Tzu wrote the famous diligence. Therefore, it is considered as a purple gas, which indicates auspicious meaning, sages and treasures. Du Fu's poem "Autumn Colors-The Queen at Sunset" restores Jasper, and the East is purple. "Since the ancients called this auspicious gas Ziyun, the place where the legendary immortals lived was called Zihai, and the immortals called it Ziquan. The city was called Moziyan. Purple air comes from the east, symbolizing good luck, and blends into the "purple" background of the Forbidden City. The place where the emperor lived was guarded and safe, and it was difficult for ordinary people to get close to it, so I called it the Forbidden City. Another way of saying it is the history and legends of the Forbidden City and superstitions. The emperor claimed to be the son of the son of the son of heaven. The Temple of Heaven is a place to live, and the nature of living is the son of heaven. Big release day? "Ya" said: "Purple Palace Temple." The palace where the emperor lived was therefore called the Purple Palace. There is also a saying that there is a "theory" about the history of the Forbidden City and ancient sites. In ancient times, the starry sky was divided into three constellations, 28 constellations and other constellations by astronomers. The third is Taiyun, Tiancheng Wall and Yuan of Ziwei Star. The four walls are the surrogate Ziweixing, which is located in the center of the three walls. Around the Big Dipper, Lagerstroemia Star is surrounded by stars around Gong Wei. In ancient times, there were theories of "Wei Zi was in the middle" and "sitting among the justices of the peace of the emperor, headed by officials of the Qing Dynasty". Because there were ruins of emperors in ancient times, Ziweixing was compared to Ziweixing in Yuan Dynasty, which became a place of worshipping saints. The palaces of emperors in past dynasties were all purple, with purple gold and purple walls. "Zijin" existed as early as the Tang Dynasty. The Forbidden City in Beijing covers an area of 1087 mu, with a length of 96 1 m in the south and 753 m in the east, which is about the circumference of Li Palace. There are 9,000 buildings in all, and the walls around it are 10 m. It is called the imperial city to the Forbidden City, not just the name of the city of the emperor. Visiting the palace building, there stands a noble and great hall representing the "sky", which is located in the center of the palace and is the tallest. The Palace of Kunning symbolizes the heaven and the earth in the Qing Dynasty, closely linking them. The rising sun on both sides of them, Stephanie two, the sun and the moon. And the stars symbolizing 12 form an array of six buildings outside the uterus, stars. This is a symbol of complexity. The Forbidden City used to be called the Forbidden City. From the perspective of Xingyuan, its name and design can be said to be highly integrated and complement each other.
