The Forbidden City in Beijing was built in Ming Dynasty Emperor ChengzuYongle 4th year, that is, 1406. It was completed in the 18th year of Yongle (1420). The layout conforms to architectural feng shui and is the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient people.
When it comes to architectural Feng Shui, we have to start with the dragon veins. The dragon veins of the Forbidden City originate from the Kunlun Mountains. Kunlun Mountain was also called the "ancestor of the Chinese dragon veins" in ancient times. The Kunlun Mountains pass through the Yanshan Mountains and stretch to the Wanshou Mountain to form acupoints. Wanshou Mountain is the backing of the Forbidden City. So where are the acupuncture points of the Forbidden City?
The acupuncture point is located in the Jiaotai Hall of the Forbidden City. The so-called Jiaotai refers to the union of heaven and earth, which means harmony and happiness. Ancient emperors and queens lived here. There is a story here. It happened in the second year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty. A fire broke out in the Qianqing Palace. The fire spread to Jiaotai Hall. The two palaces were burned down in the fire. After that, they were rebuilt in Jiaqing. That is to say, this fire destroyed the acupuncture points and changed the fortune of and in the Qing Dynasty. After the Jiaqing Dynasty, the Qing government began to decline, and the national destiny also declined day by day.
In front of Jiaotai Hall is Qianqing Palace, and behind it is Kunning Palace . Qian is the sky and Kun is the earth, which means the harmony between heaven and earth.
The Qianqing Palace is the place where the emperor handles daily government affairs. In the south study room of the Qianqing Palace, the young Kangxi Emperor once cleverly captured Obai here. Kunning Palace is the residence of the Queen.
After talking about the acupuncture points in Jiaotai Hall, we have to say that there is another condition for acupuncture, which is water. In front of the Forbidden City is the Golden River water, which is like a jade belt wrapped around the waist. As the saying goes, the dragon's veins stop when they meet the water and disperse when they ride on the wind. Therefore, the existence of this water makes the entire Feng Shui layout of the Forbidden City complete.
There is also a central axis to talk about here. From Wanshou Mountain to Jiaotai Hall, Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, and Jinhe River, they are all on this central axis. The central axis is also called the meridian. Why are they all built on the central axis? It is to set a central axis for the world, that is, to put oneself as the center of the world. The word China means the central country.
The Feng Shui layout of the Forbidden City is in line with architectural science and has reference significance for future generations of architectural design and construction.
