Daming Town Haiwang

"Not bad!"

Zhu Houzhao looked carefully at Daming in front of him, and nodded in satisfaction.

The Daming in front of him showed the grandeur and majesty of the royal family everywhere, and it also showed the wealth and status owned by the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. It was very grand and magnificent.

It can be seen just from the Ming Dynasty that the Old Summer Palace in front of him really spent too much, too much money, and poured a lot of rare treasures into it.

Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin walked on the passage paved with emerald and jade, while the eunuchs and guards who followed them walked in through two small doors. They were not qualified to walk through this passage, nor were they qualified to walk through this gate.

As soon as you enter the Old Summer Palace, you will see a huge rockery. The body of the rockery is made of white marble, and a lot of emeralds, jade, pearls, corals, gemstones, etc. are placed on it. It feels like a treasure mountain. , emitting colorful light under the sunlight.

The scale of the rockery is very large, almost like a small mountain.

In front of the rockery is the design of fountains and running water, and I don’t know who came up with it. It is the same as the Yuanmingyuan in the Qing Dynasty in later generations, designing a circular timing system made of twelve zodiac signs.

The twelve zodiac signs are all cast in silver, lifelike and shining with silver light.

However, different from the designs of human bodies and animal heads in later generations, all the twelve zodiac signs are designed in the shape of beasts for decoration and timekeeping.

According to the order of Zi Chou Yin Mao, Chen Si Wu Wei, Shen You Xu Hai, they correspond to the twelve zodiac signs respectively. When the time comes, the corresponding zodiac signs will start to spray water.

Obviously, all of these are mechanical designs and devices, reflecting the level and strength of the machinery industry and watch industry of the Ming Empire.

Ever since the clock was invented by the team led by Zhu Houzhao, it has developed rapidly in the Ming Empire. Now everyone in the Ming Dynasty basically has a watch, which has become a standard equipment.

At the same time, there are often clock towers and clock tower designs on the new buildings in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. These have greatly stimulated the development of the clock industry in the Ming Empire and continuously improved the clock technology of the Ming Dynasty.

Nowadays, the mechanical clocks and watches manufactured are becoming more and more precise, with higher and higher precision, and the error is getting smaller and smaller. A designer here in Yuanmingyuan even thought of this, and used this to design the twelve zodiac signs with an oriental color. bell.

"Fortunately, it was made of silver. If it were made of bronze, I wonder if it will be snatched away again in the future."

When seeing the twelve zodiac signs, Liu Jin couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and murmured in his heart.

I hope this Yuanmingyuan has the same name as the Yuanmingyuan built in the Qing Dynasty, and don’t let it be robbed and destroyed.

Of course, this is not what Liu Jin could know and predict. There are too many famous palaces that have been destroyed in history.

Barbarism and civilization are intertwined in human history!
"Haha, good, good!"

"Who thought of it, this design is really good."

Here, Zhu Hou looked at the rockery in front of him, and then looked at the twelve zodiac signs that told the time. He was very satisfied. Edge tradition with style, too.

"And this rockery is also well designed, colorful, and looks very comfortable."

Liu Jin on the side also smiled slightly.

Doesn’t it look good? Just look at how many gemstones, jade, diamonds, and corals are used on it. The light and color created here are all designed according to the light that can be received here, combined with the sunlight. Of course it looks very nice.

Bypassing the huge rockery, you can see a group of buildings built on the mountain, with pavilions, pavilions, palaces, etc., each place has been carefully designed and laid out, and it is perfectly integrated with everything around it. Together.

The colors of the royal buildings with red and bright yellow as the main color are perfectly integrated into many blue-blue buildings. When viewed from a distance, the colors are bright and bright, which makes people feel the majesty of the Ming royal family and Can feel as if from God's breath.

This kind of blue dye, which is completely ground into powder from lapis lazuli, has not only been used in the paintings of the Virgin Mary in the West, but also in Tianzhu and Eastern Buddhism.

Lapis lazuli is also one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, which symbolizes the ancient and sacred. Its color is bright and bright, and it can last for a long time without fading. It is often used in religious buildings and paintings.

These blue-colored buildings in front of us are obviously guided by Buddhist masters, and a lot of Zen is integrated in them. They are not only used for decoration, but also contain the meaning of Buddha's blessing here, so look Waking up with a sense of the divine and feeling within.

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 this Yuanmingyuan, the design in other aspects is also unique, and the design of each place has been carefully designed.

From the layout, style, height of the building to the selection of planting varieties, tree shape, etc., almost all of them have been carefully designed by Ming craftsmen, and a lot of their hard work has been integrated into it.

The layout of the scenery in each place is very elegant, what can be seen is different, and the layers are very clear.

When I climbed to the Fragrant Hills, overlooking the entire Old Summer Palace, I could have a panoramic view of everything in the huge garden. It was very beautiful, with scenery everywhere, and every place was enough to make those painters linger and splash ink.

Of course, this royal garden is not just for looking at the scenery, it is more for recuperation, so it is also designed with hot springs, swimming pools, gyms, medical centers and many other designs, which can be used for Emperor Hongzhi Provide a full range of recuperation services, so that he can recuperate peacefully here.

The designer even considered the monotony of the scenery after the maple trees lose all their leaves in winter, and introduced various varieties of plum blossoms here. You can enjoy snow scenery and plum blossoms in the glass room.

No matter it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, there are all kinds of flowers and trees blooming here, so that you can enjoy flowers of various colors 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'll come here to support myself!"

After the general visit, Zhu Houzhao was full of praise for this Yuanmingyuan. It is much better than his Qianqing Palace. It not only occupies a large area, but also has various designs that are very comfortable to look at.

"."

Liu Jin on the side is also speechless, the Emperor Hongzhi hasn't lived in yet, you are thinking about yourself getting old in the future, this doesn't seem very good.

However, the royal garden in front of me is indeed very well designed. If it can be opened to the outside world, it is estimated that a lot of money can be received by collecting tickets.

Well, Liu Jin's head is thinking about making money again. For Liu Jin from later generations, if such a royal garden is only appreciated and used by a few people, it will not reflect its value.

It should be open to the outside world, so that everyone can appreciate its beauty and scenery, so that it is more valuable.

Just like the imperial palaces of later generations and a large number of treasures, they are open and exhibited to ordinary people, so that ordinary people can also visit and appreciate them.

Of course, for the current Ming Dynasty, this is obviously unrealistic. The royal garden in front of us is destined to be exclusive to the Ming royal family for a long time.
