When you come to Shenyang, one of the most unmissable attractions is the Imperial Palace in Shenyang. This is a palace built in Shenyang after the rise of the Later Jin, that is, a large yamen. Only by coming here can you understand the mystery of the rise of houjin. The Imperial Palace in Shenyang is not big at all. This is just a Yamen-style building built after Nurhaci occupied Shenyang for the convenience of doing things.
If you have to call it the Forbidden City, naturally there is nothing, Shenyang Imperial Palace later became the place where the emperors of the Qing Dynasty stayed, and also carried out many repairs here, but at the beginning, the Shenyang Imperial Palace was certainly not as good as it looks now. This can also be seen in the layout of the Imperial Palace in Shenyang. From the very beginning of the palace, the East Road, where the Great Hall and the Pavilion of the Ten Kings were built during the Nurhaci period, are a very simple set of buildings.
The patterns and patterns decorated on it reflect the rich nomadic characteristics. Nurhaci didn't think of this place as a palace at first, you see, there was only a place to discuss things, not even a harem. Later, it was the Middle Road Palace. It was built during the Emperor Taiji period.
There is already a harem palace for the concubines to live in, and the overall architectural style is more like the royal weather, the Imperial Taiji period, the strength of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as before. Hou Jin became increasingly powerful under the leadership of Emperor Taiji, and later through the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Emperor Taiji led Houjin to defeat Li Zicheng, creating conditions for the Qing army to enter the customs. At this time, the palace already had a royal atmosphere. The harem was also repaired here.
And when it comes to the West Road Palace, it is even more not simple. This is the place where the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty read books when he traveled east. A large number of "Four Libraries of Complete Books" are stored here, and in terms of architectural style, it reflects the color of the integration of Han Manchu and Mondo ethnic groups. A big problem in the rule of the Qing Dynasty is to solve the problem of Manchu-Han integration, and from the architectural style, we can also see the Qing Dynasty's emphasis on the Manchu and Han dynasties.
After seeing the Imperial Palace in Shenyang, do you understand the reasons for the strength of the Qing Dynasty?
