What do we think of the Forbidden City?

We should re-examine it from the perspectives of scientific value, aesthetic value and artistic value.

Every brick and tile in the Forbidden City is history. Li Wenru, who has been guarding the Forbidden City for more than ten years, chose the central axis and the East and West palaces frequented by tourists, and wrote two books: The Forbidden City for 600 years: the central axis of the emperor and the Forbidden City for 600 years: the East Palace and the West Palace. He expressed the humanistic spirit of the Forbidden City in simple words and led everyone to re-examine the Forbidden City with a modern eye.

Undoubtedly, 600 years later, the Forbidden City is still the most complete and largest China Palace complex in the world. Li Wenru believes that when we enter the Forbidden City, we should pay more attention to scientific value, artistic value and aesthetic value.

Among them, what has to be said is the architectural beauty of the Forbidden City. In the past, only a few people, such as the emperor, could enter the hall of supreme harmony from the central axis; Nowadays, tourists can also walk through the Forbidden City along the central axis. "Not everyone knows the significance of the central axis structure of the Forbidden City. The important buildings of the Forbidden City are all on the central axis. Without the central axis, the Forbidden City will lose its soul. " Li Wenru said.

He said that the Forbidden City is the most well-preserved and complete wooden structure in the world, leaving people with unparalleled beauty of oriental architecture. Its location, layout, modeling, color, high and low scattered, coordinated density, clear width, in the light and shadow changes give people great beauty. At the same time, the Forbidden City is full of craftsman spirit, and the working people have made great sacrifices, which finally made this great building beautiful and belongs to everyone who sees and thinks about it today and in the future.
