What are the four ancient palaces in China? Pray for the great gods.

Ancient architecture is an important part of China traditional culture, and palace architecture is one of the most magnificent wonders. No matter in structure or form, they all show the royal majesty and magnificent style, which is what distinguishes them from other types of buildings. For thousands of years, the feudal dynasties attached great importance to the palace architecture symbolizing the emperor's authority, and formed a complete palace architecture system. This lesson, represented by the Forbidden City in Ming and Qing Dynasties, shows the characteristics and historical and cultural connotations of ancient royal architecture in China. The Forbidden City in Beijing was the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which is now the Forbidden City in Beijing. Judy, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, moved slightly southward along the former site of the Grand Palace of the Yuan Dynasty. Based in Nanjing Palace, he led millions of people to complete their services in 13 (A.D. 1407- 1420). The plane of the Forbidden City is rectangular, with a length of 96 1 m from north to south and a width of 753 meters from east to west, covering an area of more than 720,000 square meters. There are more than 9,000 halls in the palace, all of which are wooden structures, with yellow glazed tile roofs and blue and white stone bases decorated with colorful paintings, with a total construction area of 6,543,800+0.5 million square meters. The wall around the Forbidden City is about 10 meter high, with crenels on the outside and walls on the inside. There is a 3800-meter-long moat outside the Forbidden City, which constitutes a complete defense system. There are four gates in Miyagi, the meridian gate in the south is the main entrance of the Forbidden City, the Shenwumen (Xuanwu Gate) in the north, the Donghuamen in the east and the Xihuamen in the west. Four turrets stand at the four corners of the city wall, with unique and exquisite shapes. The building layout of the Forbidden City runs through the north-south central axis. The building of the Forbidden City is roughly divided into two parts: the working area in the south is the former dynasty, also known as the outer dynasty, and the living area in the north is the back bedroom, also known as the inner dynasty. The former dynasty was the place where the emperor handled major affairs and held major celebrations, with three halls as the center, namely, the Imperial Palace (known as Hall of Supreme Harmony in Qing Dynasty, also known as Golden Throne Hall), the Relay Hall (known as Zhonghe Hall in Qing Dynasty) and the Jianji Hall (known as Baohe Hall in Qing Dynasty), with Wenhua Hall and Wuying Hall on the east and west wings respectively. Among them, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the highest and most magnificent building in Miyagi. Grand ceremonies or celebrations were held here for the emperor's accession to the throne, weddings, conferring titles, ordering generals and going out to war. At this time, thousands of people "long live the mountain" and hundreds of ritual vessels rang in unison, which was extremely royal. The Forbidden City is centered on Gan Qing Palace (the emperor's bedroom), Jiaotai Palace and Kunning Palace, and there are East Sixth Palace and West Sixth Palace (the imperial concubine's palace) on the east and west wings. This is what people often say about the emperor's "three palaces and six courtyards", which is the place where the emperor handles daily government affairs, lives in imperial residence, worships Buddha, studies and plays on weekdays. The imperial garden behind the Palace of Kunning is a place for the queen to visit. There are pavilions, rockeries, flower beds, Qin 'an Hall and Yangxin Zhai in the park, which are full of royal garden characteristics. To the north of the Imperial Garden is Xuanwu Gate (renamed Shenwumen in Qing Dynasty), which is the north gate of the Forbidden City. All the buildings in the Palace Museum are arranged along the north-south central axis and spread out to both sides. The layout is neat, the east and west are symmetrical, the architecture is exquisite, luxurious and spectacular, the feudal hierarchy is strict and the momentum is magnificent. These are all to show the supreme authority of autocratic imperial power. The Forbidden City is the most complete existing ancient palace complex in China, which is unique in the world architectural history. It is a model of classical architecture in China and the largest palace. Liang Sicheng said: "China architecture is an engineering technology that has lasted for more than 2,000 years, and it has created an artistic system. Many buildings are the expression of our culture and the great heritage of art Although the Forbidden City is a symbol of feudal autocratic imperial power, it reflects the glory of ancient civilization with a long history in China and proves that the Forbidden City occupies an important position in the history of human world cultural heritage.
