Now there is a huge portrait of Mao Zedong hanging directly above the gate, with slogans such as "Long live the people and country of China" and "Long live the great unity of the people of the world" written on both sides. The Tower's Past: With Judy, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, moving to Beijing (142 1), the Ming Dynasty Beijing City was officially completed. Its scale is grand and magnificent. The outer city covers the inner city south, the inner city covers the imperial city, and the imperial city covers the Forbidden City. The whole city forms a convex shape. Chengtianmen is an important building in the imperial city, which was built in the 18th year of Yongle (1420). At that time, it was just a three-story and five-story wooden archway with yellow tiles and cornices, and the plaque of "Chengtianmen" was hung high in the middle of the archway. Tomorrow, in the first year of Shunyi (1457), Chengtianmen was struck by lightning and caught fire. There was no immediate recovery at that time, and it was not until the first year of Chenghua (1465) that Bai Gui, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, presided over the reconstruction. This reconstruction laid the foundation for today's Tiananmen Square. Since then, although it was built in the Ming Dynasty 180, it has not changed much. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), Li Zicheng led a peasant uprising army to capture the capital, and Chengtianmen was destroyed by war. In the eighth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (165 1), Fu Lin, the ancestor of Qing Dynasty, ordered a large-scale reconstruction and renamed Chengtianmen Square. Later, in the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi (1688) and 1952, two large-scale repairs were carried out, and 1970 was rebuilt, basically maintaining the shape of reconstruction during the Shunzhi period. 1970 The reconstructed Tiananmen Square is 83 cm higher than the original Tiananmen Square, with a total height of 34.7 meters.
