Ziwei capital

In Luoyang, the ancient capital, there are not only peonies that moved their capital in the flowering season, but also a magnificent palace called Wei Zicheng. As the name implies, it represents the royal family, so it is also a palace. However, there is a very famous door in this palace called yingtianmen, whose name has a long history and twists and turns. It not only symbolizes the imperial power of the feudal dynasty, but also symbolizes many other meanings.

First, yingtianmen and yingtianmen were originally called Tianmen Luoyang, but they were not called yingtianmen at first, but later the first female emperor in our history was called Wu Zetian, so this made her taboo, so she changed it to yingtianmen in order to avoid it. Yingtianmen Gate is used for holding important ceremonies or welcoming foreign envoys, so many kings hold enthronement ceremonies here. But he sometimes makes some bloody incidents, such as beheading here when dealing with rebels and thieves.

Second, yingtianmen is more than just a door. In fact, the one-day gate does not refer to a gate, but more symbolizes the whole Wei Zicheng. This is the same as metonymy. For example, when we mention it, we can think that the Forbidden City also means this. And purple represents the spirit of the emperor or the royal family. So in a narrow sense, the meridian gate of yingtianmen and the Forbidden City is a function, but in a broad sense, yingtianmen is equivalent to the concentration of imperial power.

Thirdly, after Wu Zetian abdicated, yingtianmen's nickname was changed to Wufeng Tower one day. Just because the name may not be there, because I sound dignified and atmospheric, so it is not widely circulated. However, the reason for taking this name is mainly because there are five colorful palaces in front of Wei Zicheng, just like five collectors gathered here, so it is called Wufeng Tower. Finally, no matter what yingtianmen used to be called, it once represented the rise and fall of dynasties, and the only constant in these changes was architecture, but the fate of the country was changing. Now he is also witnessing our prosperity and revival under the background of socialist modernization.
