The design concept of the Forbidden City was built according to the Rites of Zhou, the Book of Changes, and Fengshui. In terms of the overall layout, it could completely combine heaven, earth, and man into one to reflect the way the universe was created. Combining the three Forbidden Cities built by the Rites of Zhou, the Book of Changes, and Feng Shui would form a complete Forbidden City.
The buildings also strictly followed the rules of symmetry and were arranged along a north-south axis. The buildings on this axis were centered around the Forbidden City. These buildings were all facing the south, reflecting the emperor's supremacy.
From the layout of the Forbidden City, the palace was divided into two parts: the front court and the back court. The front court was divided into three main halls: Taihe Hall, Zhonghe Hall, and Baohe Hall. These were where the emperor held court and held court ceremonies. The two back courts were where the emperor slept.
The acupuncture points were placed between the Palace of Heavenly Purity and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, forming the intersection of heaven and earth. The Jiaotai Hall was built as the dragon cave of the Forbidden City.
The basic characteristic of our country's terrain was that it was higher in the west and lower in the east. From the west to the east, it was an obvious slope. The overall trend was that it was higher in the northwest and lower in the southeast.
The dragon vein of the Forbidden City was located on one of the three main dragon veins in China, the Northern Dragon Vein. They were bounded by the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The north of the Yellow River was called the Northern Dragon Vein. The south of the Yangtze River was called the Southern Dragon Vein. The middle of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River was called the Middle Dragon Vein.
From Mount Kunlun to Mount Yanshan, this huge mountain range stretched across the north of China. It was the strongest natural barrier. The Qi of the dragon vein attracted from Mount Kunlun was all condensed in the mountain behind the Forbidden City. The Qi of the dragon vein stopped there.
The Jiaotai Hall, which was located between the Palace of Heavenly Purity and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, was the acupuncture point of the Forbidden City. The Palace of Heavenly Purity symbolized heaven, while the Palace of Earthly Tranquility symbolized earth. Because Heavenly Purity was heaven, Earthly Tranquility was Yang, Earthly Tranquility was Yin, and the Dao of Heaven and Earth was the Dao of Yin and Yang. Moreover, the combination of the Palace of Heavenly Purity and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility was the "Tai" hexagram. The Jiaotai Hall meant that heaven and Earth Tai, to realize the ideal of "Heaven and Earth Tai".
The group of brothers of the Mu family listened to Chu Muyue not only explain the history of the Forbidden City to them, but also tell them about the relationship between the Forbidden City and Feng Shui. Their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
When they walked out of the Forbidden City, the Family Mu brothers were full of admiration for Chu Muyue, this young girl.
It was also because of their admiration that they felt useless. When they returned to Family Mu, they were all dejected. Seeing them like this, Mu Haiye asked curiously, "Huh? What's wrong with all of you? "
Chu Muyue looked at Mu Yutao and the others and rubbed her nose awkwardly.
She didn't mean it, really! They said they wanted to listen, so she explained.
Mu Yi Feng looked up at his father Mu Hai Ye, still with a depressed face, and then looked at Chu Muyue, threw himself on the sofa, and the whole person was buried in the sofa.
"What's going on?" Grandpa Mu was puzzled when he saw the boys of the Mu family behaving in such a manner.
Chu Muyue didn't speak either. She went to Grandpa Mu's side and called, "Grandpa!"
Grandpa Mu touched Chu Muyue's head and said softly, "Did these stinky boys bully you? Are they afraid that you will complain, so they show such an expression? "
When Mu Haixuan heard this, he didn't believe it and said, "It shouldn't be?"
