1, the historical story of the Forbidden City: craftsman Ma Dechun and the Nine Dragons Wall of the Forbidden City.

Building the Kowloon Wall is not an ordinary project, and it is very demanding and difficult. You must find those skilled people. The minister of the Ministry of Industry chose to go and finally chose a craftsman named Ma Dechun. Ma Dechun has been firing glazed tiles for more than ten years, and its technology is superb. He selected dozens of craftsmen and began to work on the third day. Before starting work, he told the craftsmen the requirements for firing colored glazed tiles.

He said: "The firing of colored glazed tiles is very particular about the proportion of materials and the temperature. If the proportion is not well mastered, burning a finished glazed tile will cost more than a dozen pieces of waste. Everyone should pay more attention and don't make mistakes. " Then he takes everyone to work. They spent a lot of effort, burned for 7749 days, and finally caught fire.

On the day of installation, people came and went in front of the palace, and craftsmen were busy in an orderly way. Suddenly a clear and crisp noise came, which startled Ma Dechun. When he came to the scene of the accident, he saw a small craftsman standing there staring at a broken glazed tile.

Ma Dechun carefully pieced together the broken glazed tiles, looked at them carefully and whispered to the craftsmen around him, "You can't tell anyone about this. Anyone who confides a word will be killed! "

On the way home, Ma Dechun was on tenterhooks. It's too late for him to re-fire glazed tiles, and he can't afford to delay the construction period, but he has to risk cheating the monarch to find a way to remedy it! Seeing that the construction period is coming in a few days, he put his heart on the line and waited for death.

When he got home, he didn't think about tea and rice, and no matter who came, he went to the small barn alone, blocked the doors and windows, and quietly made a "glazed tile."

The news of the completion of the Nine Dragon Wall reached the emperor in time. The next day, Qianlong took several ministers to see it. As soon as he entered Xiqingmen, he suddenly saw the majestic Kowloon Wall. Take a closer look, these nine dragons are lifelike, just like real ones. Emperor Qianlong felt brilliant and could not help admiring.

2. The historical story of the Forbidden City in Beijing: the abbreviation of the Forbidden City.

After the completion of the Forbidden City, the court history of the Ming and Qing Dynasties was more than 500 years, including the activities of queens, hierarchy, power struggles, religious sacrifices and so on. In the 18th year of Yongle (1420), Beijing Palace was completed.

The following year, a fire broke out and the first three halls were burned down. In the fifth year of orthodoxy (1440), the first three halls and Gan Qing Palace were rebuilt. In the third year of Tianshun (1459), Xiyuan was built. After four generations of Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande and Orthodox, it lasted for 20 years.

In the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing (1557), a fire broke out in the Forbidden City, and the first three halls, Fengtianmen, Wuwenlou and Wumen were all burned down. It was not until the fortieth year of Jiajing (156 1) that all the reconstruction was completed. During the Jiajing period, the names of the three halls in the Forbidden City were changed to Inner Palace, Relay Palace and Jianji Palace respectively.

In the 25th year of Wanli (1597), a fire broke out in the Forbidden City, and the first three halls and the last three palaces were destroyed. The reconstruction project was not completed until the seventh year of the apocalypse (1627).

In the Ming Dynasty, Gan Qing Palace was the master bedroom of the emperor and the main place for political activities. From Yongle Emperor Judy to Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian, * * * 14 emperors once lived here. Because the palace is large and spacious, the emperor once divided it into several rooms when he lived here. According to records, there were 9 NuanGe in Gan Qing Palace in the Ming Dynasty, which were divided into two floors, with a total of 27 beds, so that empresses could enter the palace.

The Forbidden City in Beijing is the imperial palace of China in Ming and Qing Dynasties, formerly known as the Forbidden City, located in the center of Beijing's central axis, and is the essence of ancient court architecture in China. The Forbidden City in Beijing is centered on three halls, covering an area of 720,000 square meters, with a construction area of about10.5 million square meters. There are more than 70 palaces and 9000 houses. It is one of the largest and best-preserved ancient wooden buildings in the world.

The construction of the Forbidden City in Beijing 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). It is a rectangular city with a length of 96 1 m from north to south and a width of 753 m from east to west. Surrounded by a wall with a height of 10 meter, there is a moat with a width of 52 meters outside the city. The architecture of the Forbidden City is divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court.

The center of the outer court is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Zhonghe and the Hall of Baohe, which are collectively called the three halls, and are the places where the country holds ceremonies. The center of the Forbidden City is Gan Qing Palace, Jiaotai Palace and Kunning Palace, collectively referred to as the last three palaces, which are the main palaces where emperors and empresses live.

The Forbidden City is also called the Forbidden City. In ancient China, the planning concept of "harmony between man and nature" was emphasized, and the stars in the sky were used to correspond to the capital planning, so as to highlight the legitimacy of political power and the supremacy of imperial power.

The Emperor of Heaven lives in Wei Zi Palace, and the emperor on earth claims that he is the "son of heaven" ordered by God. His residence should be a symbol of Wei Zi Palace, so as to conform to the Heaven Emperor. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty records that "there is a Wei Zi Palace in the sky, which is the residence of God". The king built a palace and liked it. "

Wei Zi, Ziyuan and Zigong have become synonymous with the Forbidden City. Because the feudal palace was forbidden in ancient times, ordinary people could not enter it, so it was called "Purple Forbidden". However, it was called the "Imperial City" in the early Ming Dynasty and directly called the "Forbidden City" in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
