Chapter 1439 The Mu Brothers Were Attacked 3
"According to traditional regulations, the statistics of the number of houses have always been calculated on the basis of "four pillars and one room". Because our country's ancient buildings are all wooden structures, which are composed of beams, columns and other large wooden parts combined into a skeleton, and then in the skeleton The space between the four pillars is filled with bricks and stones, and doors, windows and decorations are installed. Therefore, the square or rectangular three-dimensional space above the ground between the four pillars is called "one room", which is also the so-called "four pillars and one room". The houses in the Forbidden City are also calculated based on this , but the distance (bay, depth) between the four columns is different, and the size of the building area is also different. Bays can be large or small, but there is no such thing as half a room."
The Mu brothers all stared at Chu Muyue with admiration. This girl really knows everything so clearly!
"The houses in the Forbidden City broadly include halls, palaces, halls, buildings, studios, pavilions, pavilions, etc. The basic architectural pattern is "four pillars in one room", whether it is the grand Taihe Hall, Zhonghe Hall, Baohe Hall, etc. , or the inner court halls, bedrooms, and temples with relatively small building scales. However, the number and depth of each building are designed and constructed according to the requirements of "regulations", which results in the size of the building scale and building area. The largest palace in the Forbidden City It is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, with 72 pillars, 11 rooms wide and 5 rooms deep, so the number of rooms is 55. However, Chuxiu Palace, one of the "Six Western Palaces" in the inner court, is only 5 rooms wide and 2 rooms deep, so The number of rooms is 10.”
"So profound!" Mu Ziheng scratched his head and said with admiration.
Chu Muyue smiled and said, "According to the "Forbidden City Series" records: "According to field surveys and statistics by experts on ancient architecture, the Forbidden City has a total of 8,707 large and small halls, halls, buildings, studios, and pavilions. Therefore, It is incorrect to say that there are 9,999 and a half rooms in the Forbidden City. It is just a legend. "History of the Forbidden City" records: "According to historians' research: The Forbidden City originally had more than 10,000 rooms. Later, as time went by, some rooms decayed, collapsed or were destroyed by fire, but the overall number should be more than 8,000." . In 1972, ancient architecture experts conducted a comprehensive statistics on the rooms in the Forbidden City according to the popular "four pillars and one room" standard. The result was that there were more than 980 palaces and halls and 8,707 houses. "
"So that's it!" After hearing this, everyone nodded in realization.
Chu Muyue smiled, interrupted the somewhat awkward atmosphere, and said remindingly, "Hahaha, just listen to it as some stories, let's go in quickly!"
"Yes, yes, go in!" Mu Yuntao nodded quickly, turned to look at Chu Muyue, and gave her a thumbs up, "I feel that it was not us who brought Mu Yue to visit the Forbidden City, but sister Mu Yue. He took us to visit the Forbidden City!"
"I think so too!" Several grown men nodded in agreement.
Mu Ziheng didn't think anything of it, and said innocently, "Then let Sister Mu Yue introduce us to the Forbidden City! I've been here before, but I never knew the legends about the Forbidden City. Even after reading it, See for nothing!”
"Okay!" Chu Muyue also smiled and explained to Mu Yuntao and the others as they walked.
The direction of sitting in the Forbidden City is north to south. Why is this? South belongs to the "Li Gua" in the Bagua direction. Li Ye means Ming Ye, all things meet each other, the hexagram of the South, the sage faces south and listens to the world, and governs toward Ming, and he takes all this.
