I don't know if you have found a very strange phenomenon, although science is constantly progressing, everyone's material conditions are many times better than in ancient times, but now walking in the modern metropolis, you often see a phenomenon that many buildings are repaired all year round and then repaired. On the contrary, many ancient buildings in Our country have stood for hundreds of years and still have not faded their most original brilliance.
For example, Tiananmen, a landmark building in China, is located in the center of Beijing, the capital of China, and at the southern end of the Forbidden City. Covering an area of 4,800 square meters, it has attracted the attention of the world with its outstanding architectural art and special political status, so it has become one of the places where people who come to Beijing to travel must punch in.
But many people don't know, who is the designer of Tiananmen, right? He was the famous ming dynasty architect Qu Xiang, who was born in the last year of Hongwu (1398), and his father Ku Fu was a skilled builder who was selected by the Ming Dynasty to hold the position of "carpentry chief".
Under the influence of his father, Ku Xiang learned art from his father from an early age. When he was young, he received the true inheritance of his father, and after his father returned to his hometown, Ku Xiangzi inherited his father's business and assumed the position of "carpentry head". He was involved in many important construction projects, but the most important one was the design and construction of Tiananmen.
In the fifteenth year of Yongle (1417), due to the serious border troubles in the north, Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing in order to facilitate the dispatch of troops, and it was As Zhu Di's entourage at that time, Zhu Di was the first to participate in the construction and design of the imperial palace, and he served as the main designer. The last major project was completed in the nineteenth year of Yongle (1421) and was originally named "Chengtianmen".
In 1457, the Chengtian Gate was burned down due to death or death. It was not until 1465 that it was ordered to be re-revised, and it was re-participated in by the original designer, Ku Xiang. The basic style hasn't changed much, but it's more atmospheric overall. From the original east-west width of 5 rooms, north and south depth of 3 rooms, expanded to 9 wide rooms, depth of 5 rooms. It is divided into two parts: the city platform and the city tower.
In the seventeenth year of Ming Chongzhen (1644), Li Zicheng led a peasant rebellion, and after Li Zicheng's army captured the capital, Tiananmen Square was also destroyed again under the relentless war, and part of it was rebuilt the following year.
In the eighth year of Qing Shunzhi (1651), the Qing Dynasty Zu Fulin, that is, the Shunzhi Emperor, felt that Tiananmen Was somewhat dilapidated, so he ordered a large-scale reconstruction on the ruins of the original site, and since then it has been renamed "Tiananmen". The so-called Tiananmen Square means "under the command of heaven and governing the country with peace and security."
Kangxi then rebuilt it twice, until 1990, when Cixi was in power, when the Eight-Nation Alliance came to beijing with foreign guns and cannons, and the first to bear the brunt was to target Tiananmen. Tiananmen was once again poisoned, and counting this time, Tiananmen has undergone five large-scale renovations.
Finally, New China was founded in 1949, and Tiananmen has ushered in its peace ever since. However, it was not over, in 1966, a large earthquake of magnitude 7.2 occurred in Xingtai, China. Tiananmen was also affected by its proximity, so Tiananmen once again ushered in a major renovation.
While renovating the glazed tiles, the workers found a mysterious box. When I opened it, everyone was excited. There is a gold dollar treasure, a large ruby, and some grains and other items, and the answer given by the experts is to pray for the "five grains and abundant".
