When the little thief was stunned, the car had started to move again, and the girl was already squeezing towards the door. Zhu Houzhao saw it just in time. When the girl passed by him, he showed a smiling face and stuffed it smoothly. The wallet had already fallen back into her shoulder bag. , and also helped her zip up her satchel.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the little thief proudly and smiled.
The little thief, who has far better eyesight than ordinary people, naturally took in Zhu Houzhao's glance and smile, and he was filled with emotions without realizing it.
''This kid is still very arrogant. It seems that he has been hit by a gun this time. "
The little thief, who had always been a quick and fast fitter, knew that he had been completely and inexplicably screwed up this time.
The little thief who was originally planning to retaliate against Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel dazed and depressed again when he saw Zhu Houzhao's posture. The thought of revenge disappeared instantly.
No one in the car knew the whole process of Zhu Houzhao's battle of wits and courage with the thief.
By the time Zhu Houzhao returned to his seat and sat down, the tourist bus had already arrived at Tiananmen Station, the first stop of the Beijing cultural and historical site inspection.
The tour guide, holding a small flag and holding his head high, was the first to get off the bus, and the passengers followed him one by one and got off the bus.
What a big, beautiful, wide, and unique square in classical style. Looking at this city square, which is the broadest and most spectacular in the world, and full of eclectic people's style, and a city square that all the people yearn for, the hearts of the passengers are at this moment. My heart is swollen and I am extremely excited.
Look at the Tiananmen Square at the north end of the square. It has red walls, yellow tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, and colorful flowers. It is located quietly and peacefully in the square. It is particularly majestic and magnificent, and fully demonstrates the lofty pursuit and yearning of art by the Chinese people.
There is a Jinshui River in front of the majestic Tiananmen Gate, and five bridges span the river. This is the Jinshui Bridge. On both sides of the Jinshui Bridge are a pair of white marble watches with dragon patterns carved on them. They look particularly tall and tall against the blue sky and white clouds.
In addition to these, there are also colorful and beautiful fountains in the square. There are all kinds of strange flowers and plants in five colors: red, yellow, blue, blue and green, which is a bit dazzling and dizzying.
At this moment, the tour guide was not idle and began to introduce Tiananmen Square nonstop.
The tour guide said: "Tiananmen Square, which has experienced more than 500 years of vicissitudes, is the largest city square in the world today. It is located in the center of Beijing, on the south side of the Forbidden City, facing Tiananmen Square across Chang'an Street. It is the largest city square in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The gate of Daihuang City, with its rich historical connotation of more than 500 years and highly concentrated ancient Chinese civilization and modern civilization, is a place that all citizens yearn for. "
The tour guide continued: "Tiananmen was built in the 15th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1417) and completed in 1420." Initially, it was just a three-story, five-bay wooden archway, named "Chengtianmen", which means "carrying destiny from heaven" and "receiving orders from heaven". In the first year of Tianshun (1457), Pai Tiananmen and Huabiao Tower were destroyed by thunder and fire. Eight years later, in the first year of Chenghua (1465), they were rebuilt into a gate tower with five rooms in width and three rooms in depth. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), Li Zicheng's army invaded Beijing and Chengtian Gate was destroyed again. In the eighth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1651), large-scale reconstruction was carried out on the ruins and rebuilt into a city tower. The name was also changed to "Tiananmen", which means "to be ordered by heaven to stabilize the country and govern the country". In 1688 (the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi reign), after a large-scale repair and reconstruction, it basically maintained the shape of the reconstruction in 1651, which was 83 centimeters higher than the original, with a total height of 34.7 meters (original height 33.87 meters).
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Thousand-Step Corridor between Tiananmen Gate and Daqing Gate (called Daming Gate in the Ming Dynasty and Zhonghua Gate in the Republic of China) formed a T-shaped palace square covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters, with two separate palaces on the east and west. One gate, the left gate of Chang'an in the east and the right gate of Chang'an in the west. The six ministries and the various chambers of the country's main governing institutions are located here. It is the center of the empire's ruling institutions.
The emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties generally issued important edicts at Tiananmen Square, which was called the "Edict issued by the Golden Phoenix". In addition, major ceremonies such as the emperor's wedding, generals offering sacrifices to flags when they went on an expedition, royal chariots offering sacrifices to the road when they went on an expedition, the Ministry of Punishment's interrogation of important criminals in the autumn ("Autumn Trial"), and the announcement of the "Top Three" ("Jindian Chuanlu") in the imperial examination were also held here.
Tiananmen Square is located on the traditional central axis of Beijing. It consists of a city platform and a city tower. It is majestic and majestic in shape and is the most outstanding representative work of ancient Chinese city gates. The city tower is 37.4 meters high. It is built on the Xumizuo-style city platform made of huge strips of stone. It is a spectacular sight at night with red walls, yellow tiles and five arched gates. There are 60 vermilion columns reaching the sky on the tower, and the ground is paved with gold bricks, as flat as a stone; on the tall and richly colored wall platform, there are two-story double-eaves towers with yellow glazed tiles, nine rooms in the east and west, and five in the north and south, symbolizing the imperial power. "The Lord of Ninety-five". There are rhombus lattice doors on the north and south sides, with 36 vermilion rhombus door leaves; traditional golden dragon paintings and auspicious patterns are carved on the ceiling, door arches and beams; the "Double Dragon Seal" brocade and group dragon pattern are gilded. The ceiling caisson makes the entire hall solemn, majestic and resplendent. The hall is composed of a 450kg octagonal palace lantern and 16 hexagonal palace lanterns each weighing 350kg, which is a pattern of stars holding the moon. There are five gates under the city platform. The middle gate is the largest and is located on the central axis of the Imperial City of Beijing. In the past, only the emperor could enter and exit through this gate. The Jinshui River now open in front of the gate is a blue stream. In the late Qing Dynasty, seven exquisite white marble bridges were erected on Tiananmen Square, generally called Jinshui Bridge. The bridge deck is slightly arched and the bridge body is like a rainbow, forming a beautiful curve. During the dynasty and empire, the most prominent bridge in the middle, with dragon capitals carved on it, was only allowed to pass by the emperor, and was called the "Yulu Bridge." The two bridges on the left and right, with lotus capitals, were only allowed to pass by princes. The bridge on both sides, where only civil and military ministers of the third rank and above are allowed to pass, is called the "Grade Bridge"; the ordinary relief stone bridge on the far side is for officials and soldiers below the fourth rank, and is called the "Gongsheng Bridge". On the east and west sides of the south of the bridge, there are white marble tables standing on each side, with clouds surrounding the dragon's disk, which is very imposing.
Jinshui Henan has a green belt with evergreen flowers and trees all year round.
After inspecting Tiananmen Square, the inspection of the Forbidden City next to the square is naturally indispensable.
The tour guide was happy to be a favor, so he held up the little flag and led the tourists one by one into the Forbidden City.
There is no such thing as a free visit to the Forbidden City. You have to buy tickets. Naturally, the tour guide will do all the work for you, because Mr. Qi has already paid the funds to the travel company in advance and stated that he will make up for the loss after the settlement.
The Forbidden City is also a beautiful place.
It was the royal palace of China during the Ming and Qing dynasties. According to ancient Chinese astrology theory, Ziweiyuan (the North Star) is located in the middle of the sky and is the residence of the Emperor of Heaven. Heaven and man correspond to each other, so the Forbidden City is also called the Forbidden City.
24 emperors once lived here, and it was the royal palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911 AD). During these more than 500 years, the above-mentioned emperors lived and ruled the country here.
It is located in the center of the central axis of the capital.
The palace buildings of the Forbidden City are the largest and most complete ancient building complex in China. They are all wooden structures, with yellow glazed tile roofs and blue and white stone bases. They are decorated with magnificent paintings and are solemn and gorgeous. It is said that the Forbidden City has 9999 palaces and rooms. Jianban, known as the "Sea of Palaces", is magnificent and extremely spectacular. It is an unparalleled masterpiece in terms of plane layout, three-dimensional effect, and majestic form. It is the essence of ancient Chinese palace architecture. It is also one of the largest and best preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.
The Forbidden City has four gates. The main gate is called Meridian Gate. The Meridian Gate is where the emperor issued edicts and ordered expeditions. The east gate is called Donghua Gate, the west gate is called Xihua Gate, and the north gate is called Shenwu Gate. Shenwu Gate is where people enter and exit the palace daily. The entrance guard is also the main entrance of the Forbidden City today. Facing the Shenwu Gate at the north gate, there is Jingshan built of earth and stone. The mountain is full of pines and cypresses. In terms of the overall layout, Jingshan can be said to be the barrier of the Forbidden City complex.
The Forbidden City was built in 1406 AD (the fourth year of Yongle) and was basically completed in 1420 (the eighteenth year of Yongle). It used 300,000 migrant workers and lasted 14 years. It was built by Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. It was built on the basis of the Dadu Palace of the Yuan Dynasty. It was built based on the Nanjing Forbidden City and designed by Kuai Xiang (1397-1481, courtesy name Tingrui, a native of Suzhou). It is a rectangular city with a length of 961 meters from north to south and a width of 753 meters from east to west. It has a construction area of 155,000 square meters and a total area of up to More than 720,000 square meters.
It is surrounded by palace walls that are 12 meters high and 3,400 meters long. The city is surrounded by a 52-meter-wide moat, forming a castle with tight barriers.
A central axis runs through the entire Forbidden City, and this central axis is on the central axis of Beijing. The three main halls, the three back palaces and the imperial garden are all located on this central axis. On both sides of the central axis palace, there are many palaces symmetrically distributed, all of which are magnificent and magnificent.
The buildings in the Forbidden City are 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, collectively referred to as the three main halls. The Wenhua and Wuying Halls are the two wings. It is the place where the country holds major ceremonies. Baohe Hall is the place where the imperial examinations are held. The first to third place in the imperial examination are called the number one scholar, the second best scholar, and the third flower respectively.
The center of the inner court is the Qianqing Palace, the Jiaotai Palace, and the Kunning Palace, collectively known as the Back Three Palaces. The East and West Palaces are the two wings. The layout is rigorous and orderly. It is the main palace where the emperor and the queen live.
The entire outer dynasty and inner court are surrounded by exquisite rockeries, towers, pavilions, pavilions and pavilions. They are magnificent and the environment is beautiful and tranquil.
There are exquisite turrets at the four corners of the Forbidden City. The turrets are 27.5 meters high and are exquisitely constructed and beautiful.
Visiting the Forbidden City, where the ancient emperors, queens, concubines, eunuchs, and maids lived, and especially the "Treasure Hall" that collected the treasures of the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties, was nothing more than a visit to Zhu Houzhao. Revisiting the old place, every bit of his previous life is recorded here.
After visiting the Forbidden City, the tour guide took everyone up to the Long Live Mountain at the north gate of the Forbidden City for a tour. Here Zhu Houzhao learned that a crooked-neck tree here was the place where Emperor Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, hanged himself.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but lament that the family fortune he had built so well was completely ruined by these unfilial descendants.
