Zhu Houzhao looked carefully at the Ming Dynasty in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
The Ming Dynasty in front of you shows the royal style and majesty everywhere. It also shows the wealth and status of the Ming Dynasty royal family. It is very grand and magnificent.
Just from the Ming Dynasty, we can see that the Old Summer Palace in front of us really cost too much, too much money, and put a lot of rare treasures in it.
Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin walked on the passage paved with jade stones. The eunuchs and guards who followed them walked in from the two small doors respectively. They were not qualified to walk through this passage or this gate.
As soon as you walk into the Old Summer Palace, you will see a huge rockery. The rockery cylinder is made of white marble, and is also equipped with a large number of jade, jade, pearls, coral, gems, etc., giving people the feeling of a treasure mountain.
, emitting colorful light under the sunlight.
The rockery is very large, almost like a small mountain.
In front of the rockery is a fountain and flowing water design, and I don’t know who came up with it. Like the Old Summer Palace in the later Qing Dynasty, a circular timing system made of the twelve zodiac signs was designed.
The twelve zodiac signs are all made of silver, which is lifelike and sparkling.
However, unlike the designs with human bodies and animal heads in later generations, these twelve zodiac animals are all designed according to the appearance of beasts and are used for decoration and telling time.
According to the order of Zichou Yinmao, Chensiwuwei, Shenyouxuhai, they correspond to the twelve zodiac signs. At what time, the corresponding zodiac signs will start to spray water.
Obviously, these are all mechanical designs and devices, which reflect the level and strength of the Ming Empire's machinery industry and watch industry.
Ever since the clock was invented by the team led by Zhu Houzhao, it has rapidly developed in the Ming Empire. Nowadays, people in the Ming Dynasty basically have a watch in their hands, and this has become standard equipment.
At the same time, new buildings throughout the Ming Dynasty often had bell towers and clock tower designs. These greatly stimulated the development of the watch industry in the Ming Empire and continuously improved the watch technology of the Ming Dynasty.
Nowadays, the mechanical clocks manufactured are becoming more and more sophisticated, with higher and higher accuracy, and the errors are getting smaller and smaller. Some designers in Yuanmingyuan actually thought of this and used this to design the zodiac timekeeping with oriental colors.
bell.
"Fortunately, it was made of silver. If it had been made of bronze, I would have doubted whether it would be robbed again in the future."
When Liu Jin saw this zodiac sign, he couldn't help being slightly startled and murmuring in his heart.
I hope that this Old Summer Palace and the Old Summer Palace built in the Qing Dynasty have the same name but different names, so that they don’t get robbed and destroyed.
Of course, this was not something Liu Jin could have known or expected. There were too many famous palaces that were destroyed in history.
Barbarism and civilization are intertwined in the history of mankind!
"Haha, not bad, not bad!"
"Who came up with it? This design is really good."
Here Zhu Houzhao looked at the rockery in front of him, and then at the twelve zodiac signs that told the time in front of him. He was also very satisfied. He felt that the twelve zodiac signs were much better than the clock tower, and it was more in line with the Eastern culture.
Side of tradition and style.
"The rockery is also well designed, colorful and looks very comfortable."
Liu Jin on the side also smiled slightly.
How can this not be beautiful? Just look at how many gems, jade, diamonds, and corals are used on it. The light color created is also designed according to the light that can be received here. Combined with the sunlight, it looks like
Of course it looks very nice.
Bypassing the huge rockery, you will see a group of buildings built on the mountain, including pavilions, palaces, etc., each of which has been carefully designed and laid out, and is perfectly integrated with everything around it.
Together.
The main colors of the royal buildings are red and bright yellow, and many blue buildings are perfectly integrated into it. When seen from a distance, the colors are bright and bright, making people feel the majesty of the Ming Dynasty royal family, and also
You can feel the breath that seems to come from God.
This cyan-blue dye, made entirely from lapis lazuli ground into powder, has been used not only in paintings of Western Madonnas, but also in Indian and Eastern Buddhism.
Lapis lazuli is also one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, symbolizing ancient and sacred. Its color is bright and bright, and it can last for a long time without changing color or fading. It is often used in religious buildings and paintings.
The green-blue buildings in front of you have obviously been instructed by Buddhist masters, and have incorporated a lot of Zen into them. They are not only used for decoration, but also contain the meaning of Buddha blessing this place, so look at them.
When you wake up, there is a sacred meaning and feeling inside.
Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao walked on the road paved with white marble, carefully admiring the Old Summer Palace in front of them.
In addition to using a large number of expensive rare treasures to decorate and build the Yuanmingyuan, the design in other aspects is also unique, and every detail is carefully designed.
From the layout, style, and height of the building to the selection of varieties of flowers and trees, tree shapes, etc., almost everything has been carefully designed by the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, and a lot of their hard work has been integrated into it.
The scenery layout of each place is very exquisite, what you can see is different, and the levels are very clear.
When we climbed up Xiangshan Mountain, we overlooked the entire Old Summer Palace and had a panoramic view of everything in the huge garden. It was very beautiful and full of scenery, and every place was enough to make those painters linger and splash their ink.
Of course, this royal garden is not only used for viewing the scenery, it is also used for recuperation, so it also has many designs such as hot springs, swimming pools, gyms, medical centers, etc., which can be used for Emperor Hongzhi.
We provide a full range of recuperation services so that he can recuperate peacefully here.
The designer even considered the problem of monotonous scenery after the maple trees have lost all their leaves in winter, and introduced various varieties of plum blossoms here. In winter, when the wind is cold and the snow is falling, the scenery is still beautiful.
You can enjoy the snow scenery and plum blossoms in the glass room.
No matter it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, there are all kinds of flowers and trees in bloom here, so you can enjoy flowers of various colors here all year round, so that the colors will not be monotonous when the seasons change.
"It's really good, it's really good. When I get old, I will come here to take care of myself!"
After the general tour, Zhu Houzhao was full of praise for the Old Summer Palace. It was much better than his Qianqing Palace. Not only did it cover a large area, but the various designs were also very comfortable to see.
"."
Liu Jin on the side was also speechless. Emperor Hongzhi hasn't even moved in yet, and you are thinking about your old age in the future. This doesn't seem to be good.
However, the royal garden in front of you is indeed very well designed. If it can be opened to the public, you can probably get a lot of money from the entrance fee.
Well, Liu Jin was thinking about making money again. For Liu Jin who came from later generations, if a royal garden like this was only appreciated and used by a few people, it would not reflect its value.
It should be open to the outside world so that everyone can appreciate its beauty and scenery, so that it will be more valuable.
Just like the royal palaces and a large number of treasures in later generations, they are open and on display to ordinary people, so that ordinary people can also visit and appreciate them.
Of course, this is obviously unrealistic for the current Ming Dynasty. The royal garden in front of us is destined to be exclusively used by the Ming Dynasty royal family for a long time.
