Chapter 397: Red walls and yellow tiles, a few years later, the country is still there
[The ideal capital city in ancient China, from the city walls to the imperial city, the palace city to the ancestral temple on the left and the community on the right, the heaven, earth, sun and moon, all rely on a central axis to control the overall order.
The Chinese people have long understood this deeply, but foreign experts from UNESCO have certain difficulties in understanding this traditional philosophy based solely on the World Heritage application documents.
Moreover, the central axis is too large and too complex, and it is difficult to get a sense of its entirety even if you walk down the street. To solve this problem, China has come up with a digital exhibition plan and worked with a company to upload everything on the central axis to the cloud, creating a "digital central axis". From rituals and sacrifices to market customs, from the context of historical evolution to the panoramic tour of the "time capsule", the originally abstract and boring database has been moved to the "digital central axis". This has greatly facilitated international experts to understand our central axis.
The central axis of Beijing was first built in the Yuan Dynasty, more than 700 years ago. In the past 50 years, Beijing has undergone large-scale urbanization, and contemporary Beijing is very different from ancient Beijing. Even native Beijingers will have a weakened perception of the central axis. How can this problem be solved?
In order to make the central axis "live" in the real social soil, a "digital night watchman" was developed to scan the QR code, so that everyone can take photos and upload the buildings and cultural relics around them, so that the public can participate in the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage. This extensive public participation has indeed become part of the central axis information.
“No other nation loves and adheres to the central axis of symmetry so much.”
It is no longer just a line; it is also the ideal of sages of all ages, the choice of emperors and the wisdom of great craftsmen.
This is a cultural connection. 】
＜Inherit and carry forward.＞
＜Looking back now, isn’t this a perfect test point? Study! ＞
＜I particularly like playing farming games [covering my face] Every time I play, I always make the central axis symmetrical by myself, it’s really cool to watch! ＞
＜The wisdom of the ancients was so great. It was not only the emperors and craftsmen, but also the many ordinary people who worked behind the scenes. It was their blood and sweat that made it successful.＞
＜After reading this, I just want to say that although the ancient technologies may not seem advanced enough now, they were very powerful in that era, and the ancients were really smart. Many of the methods we use now are derived from the technologies they passed down.＞
＜The video is good, the explanation is good, and I learned something new today.＞
＜The northern end of Beijing's central axis extends, in kilometers, all the way to Zhenglan Banner, Inner Mongolia, where the ruins of Yuan Shangdu are located. The reason why Beijing's central axis is biased toward the northwest-southeast is that the northern end of Yuan Shangdu's central axis points directly to the north.＞
＜Ah, why did you only apply for Beijing? Xi'an's central axis is earlier than Beijing's.＞
＜Beijing is the capital after all, and it is also the epitome of the city. It was the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so it is more meaningful.＞
＜As a civil engineering student, I was impressed by the superb architectural skills and culture after watching the video.＞
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: I understand their persistence in applying for the Central Axis to be listed as a World Heritage Site.]
[Song Renzong Zhao Zhen: Well, it is also a continuation and inheritance of historical culture.]
[Kublai Khan: They have discovered how much thought I put into its construction.]
[Ming Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang: You have so many thoughts.]
……
Zhao Zhen remembered that Guangmu mentioned the central axis of Kaifeng, so were the traces left by the Song Dynasty in Kaifeng also preserved to later generations?
Regarding this "romance" that lasted for thousands of years, Zhao Zhen seemed to understand the importance and surprise that later generations attached to archaeology.
……
"Why do they always think we are stupid?"
"Didn't you call us ancestors before? Who would think their ancestors are stupid?"
Countless craftsmen from all dynasties of the light curtain raised soul-stirring questions.
Not to mention the pressure from the nine clans behind the scenes, just the mission of the craftsmen, how could they dare to mess around with the construction directly appointed by the emperor?
Moreover, there are so many craftsmen. If they don’t create something new and do their job to the best of their ability, they will easily be replaced by other craftsmen!
……
After watching the video, Li Ranran said, "I really learned something from this."
“Was the application for World Heritage status successful in July? I don’t think I saw it before, but it seems that the application for World Heritage status was successful during the Spring Festival recently.”
"Well... I think some countries won't think of stealing anymore..."
She found that the cover of the next video was a picture of heavy snow falling in the Forbidden City. She vaguely guessed what the background music was, but she couldn't help but click on it.
[My mind is full of the MVP result screen of the Nine Sons’ Battle for Succession]
(The rain was pouring down, and the bright yellow tiles and vermilion walls looked particularly lonely in the rain and snow.
Long-range and close-up views of the entire Forbidden City from multiple angles.)
＜What is this? It’s the Forbidden City. Even Puyi had to buy a ticket to enter the Forbidden City. [狗头]＞
＜I went there once and felt so depressed [covering my face]＞
＜Don’t go there with the mentality of a subject. I went there with the mentality of being the emperor. [Covering face]＞
＜I thought of the scene in the Ming Dynasty: when Emperor Jiajing died, officials came to pay their respects, and snow fell all over the sky.＞
＜Recalling someone's famous line in a TV series: "The two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty are on my shoulders. It's not your turn to talk about the people of the world." Hahahaha, the weightlifting champion of the Ming Dynasty, little cabinet minister [eating melon]＞
＜I really want to see the palaces from the Han and Tang dynasties. The Forbidden City was built even though there were no real giant trees in the Ming and Qing dynasties. If it was the Han and Tang dynasties, wouldn’t the palaces be bigger and more magnificent?＞
＜Over the course of hundreds of years, the stars have shifted, spring has gone and autumn has come, how many times have emperors changed? But the country remains.＞
＜When Chun Tingxue's song sounded, I automatically calculated the MVP in my mind [covering my face] and the main scene was still the rainy night, heavy snow, the imperial city, walking, a suppressed and indescribable excitement rippled in my heart. ＞
＜You should know that every brick and tile in the Forbidden City is a piece of history and a story... The history of the Ming and Qing dynasties is played out here. It makes you imagine the emperors sitting in the palace and facing one decision after another. ＞
＜Ah… why are the scenes you think of so heavy? I think of the scene in Legend of Zhen Huan where Concubine Qi begs for mercy in the rain. [Covering face]＞
＜The architecture of the Forbidden City is truly magnificent, and the atmosphere created by the red walls and yellow tiles is indescribable.＞
＜Six hundred years of ups and downs……＞
[Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang: Humph, see, now when people think of the Forbidden City, they think of the Ming Dynasty the most!]
[Kublai Khan: Tsk, this video is really not good. It directly talks about the six hundred years of ups and downs. Doesn’t it include me who laid the foundation?]
[Qianlong Emperor of Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo·Hongli: @Ming Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang stop bragging, listen to the title! The MVP settlement screen of the nine sons competing for the throne, that is exclusive to my grandfather! ]
[Emperor Jiajing of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houcong: Oh, who is the last emperor who had to buy a ticket to enter his own house?]
[Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Hongli: ... Let's put things in perspective. I heard that he is not my direct descendant and was adopted to become the emperor, so he doesn't count.]
……
"Well... the special effects video looked so shocking before, but now that I see the real scene, it seems a lot more ordinary." Li Shimin commented.
"The light curtain is not wrong. It is indeed not as tall as my Tang Dynasty Palace."
“Is this also the culmination of all that?”
Everyone questioned it, as they were all deceived by the previous video.
"By the Ming and Qing dynasties, they no longer had any use for the giant trees?" Li Shimin wondered. Could it be that the previous dynasties had used them all up?
