Our ancient buildings are like a long scroll with a long history, carrying the history of past development. They are like a very thick book that can never be read. It’s endless and like a lake with a long history. Today, we came to Dinghai Ancient Street, which is full of charm of ancient buildings.

Walking through the ancient streets, row upon row of buildings, quaint shops, and well-proportioned signboards immediately come into view. Today's ancient street fully shows us the original style of the ancient buildings. It is also an ocean street integrating food, shopping, residence and entertainment. Dinghai Ancient Street has become a highlight of the tourism culture of Zhoushan Island.

Among the ancient streets, only Zhongjie Street is the best-preserved old block and is a microcosm of Dinghai’s long history. Walking on the ground paved with bluestone slabs, because there were no sewer pipes in ancient times, the road paved with bluestone can absorb water and drain it underground.

We came to Zhongjie Street and looked up. The gray tiles on the roof were arranged in an orderly manner, like a comb for combing hair, carved with dragons and phoenixes, with two corners slightly tilted upward. Two dragons are entrenched on the roof, with golden scales and golden armor, vividly alive, as if they want to fly through the air. The dragons and gods landing on the antique roofs have different shapes. Some are turning over clouds and fog, and some are turning over rivers and seas. They are in various poses. On the door frame, the black gold signboard looks a bit shabby, but it still has the charm of an ancient building.

The gray and white walls are not only neat, but also exude a sense of generosity and antique flavor. Looking down, you can admire the doors and windows carved with patterns, most of which are geometric shapes. There are fresh and beautiful lotus flowers; there are proudly blooming plum blossoms; Dark red, exuding gentle and elegant beauty.

Most of the buildings on Zhongjie Street are of brick and wood structure. Because wooden structure houses are flammable and fire-fighting facilities were backward at that time, Zhongdae Street was often exposed to fires. During the post-disaster reconstruction, after learning from the spread of fire, local people donated money and built eight fire-sealing walls in the middle of the street. (Existing 4 channels). Also known as public walls, they separate neighborhoods and prevent fires from spreading out of control when a fire breaks out.

Dinghai Ancient Street is a treasure of island dwellings, rich in artistry and decoration. Ancient streets are products of history and culture and architectural symbols of history and culture. They have cultural thinking value now and in the future. Ancient buildings are treasures given to us by our ancestors. They are like a bright pearl inlaid in China. Let us walk into ancient buildings and feel the wonderful natural charm!

My home is in a plain area, there are not many rivers, so there are not many bridges. Although there are very few bridges in our small county, there is one relatively famous bridge called Lion Bridge.

It is located on the west side of the county, close to the People's Hospital Square. As you approach Lion Bridge, the first thing you see are four mighty lions guarding the bridge. Although they only squat on square stones, they are still three or four meters high, which is very majestic and majestic. The lions stared with big round eyes, as if they were loyal guards, telling people not to be afraid of anything, I am here! Around their necks, there were three big bells like lotus pods, each with three bells. heart. It seems to tell people that they are the guards who protect the bridge carefully.

When you walk to the bridge, you will see little lions with different postures on the bridge railings.

Some male and female lions are hugging each other, not to mention how affectionate they are; some are blowing small trumpets, look, they are playing so happily, as if they are cheering for the development of Pingyuan County! Some have long beards, I was carefully combing it with my hands, as if to say, my beard is handsome enough, comparable to Guan Gong! Some looked far into the distance, as if admiring the beautiful scenery of the plain; there were also two little lions playing with a ball. One is squatting on the ball, concentrating on it, seeming to be performing difficult moves; the other is lying down, holding the ball with four paws, as if an acrobat is spinning the ball rapidly; there is also a little lion, lying in the arms of the lioness, sucking milk , with his little eyes narrowed and a smile on his lips, he looked so happy.

There are stone railings on both sides of the bridge deck. The railings are carved with exquisite patterns such as double dragons playing with pearls, dragons and phoenixes showing auspiciousness, and dragons playing with phoenixes, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.

The Lion Bridge is not only beautiful, but also very majestic. The bridge is more than forty meters long and fifty meters wide. Vehicles pass in the middle and people walk on both sides.

Shenyang, maybe it doesn’t impress you deeply, but for me, the Shenyang Forbidden City is the home of the motherland. A scenic spot and a geomantic treasure.

The Shenyang Forbidden City was first built in 1625 AD. It was a palace built by Nurhaci, Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty, and Huang Taiji, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. It is also known as the Shengjing Palace. Fulin, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor here. The Forbidden City in Shenyang is a national key cultural relic protection unit and one of the two complete palace complexes in China. It has now been established as the Shenyang Palace Museum. The two Forbidden City in Beijing and Shenyang constitute the only two complete remaining imperial palace complexes of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in China. July 1, 2004. The 28th World Heritage Committee meeting held in Suzhou, China, approved China's Shenyang Forbidden City to be included in the World Heritage List as an expansion project of the cultural heritage of the Ming and Qing imperial palaces. It is very different from Beijing with its unique history, geographical conditions and strong Manchu characteristics. Forbidden City. The Dazheng Hall and Chongzheng Hall of the Shenyang Forbidden City with golden dragons and flat pillars, the Ten King Pavilions lined up like flying geese, the Qingning Palace with ten thousand-character kang pocket rooms, the simple and elegant Wenshuo Pavilion, and high-rise buildings such as the Phoenix Tower are all in the history of Chinese palace architecture. It is unique; the architectural style of "high palaces and low halls" that is full of Manchu sentiment is even more "unique". This ancient building complex covering an area of ??60,000 square meters was started in 1625 (the tenth year of Tianming in the Later Jin Dynasty) and completed in 1636 (the first year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty). There are more than 90 buildings and more than 300 rooms in total. The streets in the old city of Shenyang are in the shape of a well, and the Forbidden City is located in the center of the street. It covers an area of ??60,000 square meters and has 114 ancient buildings. According to the architectural layout and construction sequence, the Shenyang Forbidden City can be divided into three parts: the East Road is the Dazheng Hall and the Ten King Pavilions built during the Nurhaci period; the middle road is the Dazhong Palace built during the Taizong period of the Qing Dynasty, including the Daqing Gate and Chongzheng Hall. , Phoenix Tower, Qingning Palace, Guanju Palace, Yanqing Palace, Qifu Palace, etc.; West Road is the Wensu Pavilion built during the Qianlong period. The entire palace is lined with pavilions, majestic buildings, carved beams and painted buildings, and is magnificent.

Shenyang, with the Forbidden City, is nothing special; but without the Forbidden City, it would appear to be an ancient country.

My hometown is Xinye Village, Daciyan Town. There are many ancient buildings in Xinye Village: Youxu Hall, Shuangmei Hall, Tuanyun Pagoda, and Yuquan Temple. It is an "open-air museum" of ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Tuanyun Tower is one of the iconic ancient buildings. I love it the most. Now I will be a little tour guide and talk about the origin and characteristics of Tuanyun Tower.

Tuanyun Tower is located at the entrance of the village. It was built in 1567 and completed in 1575. It took more than eight years to build the tower. It is 388 meters high and 18.8 meters wide. Due to the terrain in the southeast of the village, It is used to supplement Feng Shui when it is lacking, so it is also called "Xunda Tower". The pagoda is named after Zhuangzi. It soars up to 90,000 miles. Strictly speaking, in feudal society, it was not allowed for villages to build pagodas privately (pagodas could be built at or above the county or state capital level). The current explanation is that the main reasons and functions of the ancestors of Xinye Village for building the pagoda are: 1. To replenish Feng Shui.

It forms a three-legged tripod with Zushan Mountain, Yuhua Mountain and Chaoshan Mountain. 2. Because the terrain of the entire village is in the shape of a boat, and the five hills at the entrance of the village are like five boats, there is a saying that five boats went down the river. The tower is like a boat pole, which serves to stabilize the village. 3. The cultural fortune of Xinye Village has not been very good since it was moved here. The pagoda was built to cultivate Confucianism. The tower is like a big hair straight into the sky. It is reflected in the ancestral hall pond and the Sifang pond. Later, Ye Yuanxi, a Jinshi, really came out. Therefore, "Tuanyun Tower" is also called "Wenfeng Tower". 4. In ancient India, the pagoda was a symbol of prosperity. There are now more than 3,000 people with the surname Ye in Xinye Village. In the early years of the Republic of China, a Sutra Hall, Guanyin Hall, Zisun Hall, Earth Temple and side rooms for outsiders were built next to the pagoda (legend has it that in the past, it was not easy for people with foreign surnames to live in the village for a long time, otherwise they would have to live in the village for a long time. Feng shui-breaking.) To the east of the tower is Lion Mountain and to the west is Elephant Trunk Mountain, forming the village entrance layout of the Lion and Elephant Suoshuikou.

In the autumn of 1989, Professor Chen Zhihua, a member of UNESCO and director of the Institute of Ancient Architecture of Tsinghua University, said after an inspection: The combined buildings at the entrance of Xinye Village are the landmark buildings of the ancient village, although they are not It was built in the same period, but it embodies China's farming and reading culture and achieves harmony and unity. It is a unique ancient Chinese building. ?

My hometown? Xinye Village still has many ancient buildings. You must come if you invite your friends! The hospitable Xinye people will definitely treat you as a "guest".

Passing through Tiananmen, Duanmen, and finally through the main entrance of the Forbidden City, we came to this great palace? the Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City, also known as the Forbidden City, was the palace of the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Forbidden City covers an area of ??725,000 square meters and is surrounded by palace walls and moats. It has four gates: Meridian Gate, Donghua Gate, Xihua Gate, and Shenwu Gate. It is a tall and well-defended castle. It was built in the fourth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. According to legend, there are 9,999 and a half rooms (because ancient houses were built with four pillars per room, and according to modern houses, there are 8,707 rooms). It is the largest palace in the world, ranking first among the five major palaces. . It is also a cultural treasure house of our country, with a collection of 710,000 treasures, vividly showing life in the ancient Forbidden City.

Walking into the Forbidden City from the Meridian Gate, I discovered a problem: the Forbidden City does not have the most houses, nor the most treasures, but the most talents! Thousands of people are packed into the Forbidden City, and locals Foreigners, Chinese and foreigners, if they know about the Forbidden City, they will also come to see the Forbidden City. They have to wait in line for a long time just to buy tickets. After buying the tickets, we started to browse the entire Forbidden City.

The buildings of the Forbidden City are made of wood, with yellow glazed tile roofs, blue and white stone bases, and exquisite paintings everywhere, making this huge palace complex even more magnificent. We admired it all the way and came to the front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the place where ancient emperors sat and discussed matters. It is the center of power that attracts everyone's attention. From the outside, the white railing base arches up the tall and magnificent hall. The golden roof, red pillars and colorful paintings make the hall shine brightly. When I got closer and looked inside, I saw a throne where the emperor sat, with sculptures of mythical beasts on both sides. The store is spacious and perfectly carved with exquisite paintings and ingenious craftsmanship. On both sides of the main hall are other buildings, including Zhonghe Hall, Baohe Hall, Wenyuan Pavilion, Wuying Hall and other buildings. I have already seen these terms in "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". They are all places where high-ranking officials work.

This is the outer court, where the emperor holds large-scale celebrations and ceremonies. After passing through several more palace gates, we arrived at the inner court. The inner court is composed of three major centers: the Qianqing Palace, the Jiaotai Palace, and the Kunning Palace. There are thousands of houses, large and small, where the concubines of the harem live. When we came here, we visited the majestic Qianqing Palace and the small and unique palaces. The stars towered over the moon, which was extremely spectacular.

Next, we came to the Treasure Hall of the Forbidden City, which houses the super treasures of the Forbidden City. The first thing we saw were some pots of beautiful flowers. Of course, these flowers are extraordinary. They are made of gold, silver, gems, crystals and other precious jewelry. They are sparkling and remain the same after hundreds of years, which makes people marvel.

The next thing that comes into view are the tribute items from distant countries in ancient times, including silk, gold, silver, jade, etc. We also saw Ruyi. Ruyi, large and small, are placed in glass cabinets. Some are jade Ruyi, crystal clear and extremely smooth. Some are golden and dazzling, golden and dazzling. Some are Ruyi inlaid with various kinds of jewels and jade, shining like bright pearls.

We also saw dragon robes. The yellow gold glittering base is embroidered with many giant dragons, flying around the clouds, baring their teeth and claws, soaring into the clouds and mists, so majestic. The dragon robe is made of fine silk. I'm sure it will be very comfortable to wear.

Two hours passed unknowingly. We entered through the south gate of the Forbidden City and exited through the Shenwu Gate in the north. Walking on the road, we were still discussing and praising the emperor's luxury and the magnificence of the Forbidden City. It is truly a cultural treasure house!

Today, I finally came We arrived at the place we have always dreamed of visiting, the world-famous royal gardens, where all Chinese emperors lived? The Forbidden City, also known as the Forbidden City. There are many treasures there, more than 8,000 houses, which really opened my eyes. We first came to Tiananmen. There were two large stone lions at the door, which seemed to be guarding Tiananmen. As soon as I entered Tiananmen, I was shocked, wow! What a big tower! My mother asked me to take a few photos in Tiananmen Tower, and then entered Duanmen. There were a large number of armed police training there. I saw Following the neat steps of those armed policemen and listening to the loud voices, I secretly admired these armed police soldiers for guarding Tiananmen and the Forbidden City day and night.

Immediately afterwards, we came to the Meridian Gate, which is the main entrance of the Forbidden City. It is majestic and tall. There are eighty-one doornails on the left and right gates. The entire door is red, and only the doornails are golden. , entered the Meridian Gate, wow! What a big square! Much bigger than Tiananmen! There are still many big bricks from hundreds of years ago, but there are good bricks and bad bricks. The bad ones are now rotten due to exposure to wind and sun all year round, but the good ones are still intact, so we must take good care of these items.

After that, we came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, commonly known as the "Jinluan Hall", one of the "Three Great Halls in the East", located in a prominent position on the north-south main axis of the Forbidden City in Beijing, where the emperor summoned ministers. The pillars inside, the emperor's throne, It's all gold, and the floor is paved with stones commonly known as gold bricks. I really admire the ingenuity of the working people in the past. The grand staircase in the middle of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was for the emperor. On the emperor's chair, there was a big dragon carved on it. People call it the dragon chair. Outside, the emperor walked the dragon path carved in stone. Next to it, the ministers walked the path, one by one.

Then, we came to the Imperial Garden, where there were many century-old trees, including dragon-like crooked-neck trees. Some ancient trees had lush branches and leaves; some ancient trees only had one branch that was lush; The trunks of some ancient trees are brown, while others are dark brown. Some of the tree roots are very messy, and some of the tree roots are buried in the soil, and the roots are not visible. We walked out again and saw a stone mountain. There was a pavilion on the stone mountain where Huangdi watched the scenery. There are stairs on the stone mountain so it is very convenient to go up.

Finally, we left the Forbidden City. This trip has helped me gain a lot of knowledge, and I will never forget this meaningful day liuxue.86.

On July 22, we visited the largest palace in the world, the Forbidden City. It is also called Bauhinia City and is located in the center of Beijing. On the central axis, it leads to Tiananmen in the front, Jingshan in the back, Wangfujing Market in the east, and Zhongnanhai in the west. It covers an area of ??720,000 square meters, with a moat of 52 meters wide and 6 meters deep outside, 3 kilometers long inside and 10 meters high. There are four gates in the city wall, namely the South Meridian Gate, the North Shenwu Gate, the Donghua Gate in the east, and the Xihua Gate in the west. We entered the Forbidden City through the South Meridian Gate.

The general impression left on me by the Forbidden City is that it is a majestic and tall building with red walls and yellow tiles. We passed through the corridor paved with bluestones and crossed the Jinshui Bridge made of white marble to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, also called Jinluan. The palace; in ancient times, it was the place where the emperor listened to politics: behind it were many tall palaces, all of which were painted with painted pillars and carved beams, and were magnificent. In this building complex, the palaces and towers were staggered and majestic. People once lived here. 24 emperors, red and yellow are royal colors and are prohibited for ordinary people to use. The number 9 is also exclusive for royals and is prohibited for ordinary people to use. As we walked around the Forbidden City, we found that the Forbidden City was full of carvings of dragons and phoenixes. I asked my mother: Why is this? Only the Forbidden City has patterns of these two animals. ?Mom said:?The dragon and phoenix represent supreme power. In the past, they could only be used in royal buildings. ?I was most impressed by the Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City. There are nine dragons with different colors and styles on the Nine Dragon Wall. Some of them soar into the clouds and mist, soaring into the sky; some are laughing and playing among the auspicious clouds, and some are sleeping quietly on the side. I deeply feel the great wisdom of the ancients, and I can't help but take a photo here.

The Forbidden City is so beautiful. I will come again next time. Goodbye!
