I remember that when I was in junior high school, villain books were popular, and I bought a lot of them when I was in the bookstore, but one of them was preserved until now, and the title of the book should be called the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I was very impressed with that book, and I may have always been particularly interested in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
When it comes to Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, I think everyone should be familiar with them. If you mention the person of Ai Xinjue luo Nurhaci, many people should not be very familiar with him, he is the founder of the Qing Dynasty, although he established the Houjin, he was also the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Today we walked into Nurhaci's birthplace: the city of Hetuala. In fact, I have been particularly yearning and curious about this place before, in fact, the reputation of Hetuala City is not only because it is the birthplace of the Qing Taizu Nurhaci, but also for another reason, that is, it was once the first capital of the Manchus.
When I came to the main city of Hetuala, I just caught up with a Manchu wedding, and it is worth mentioning that the couple chose Hetuala City as the scene of the wedding ceremony, which made it particularly novel for me to see that the wedding scene was held in the hotel. The ancient buildings of the entire old town are hung with festive red lanterns and red silk cloth. If it wasn't for the wedding photographer telling us that it was a real wedding, we would have thought it was a fake wedding organized because of the event. The bride walked slowly with the support of the two maidens, and the beautiful bride's face could be seen from under the red veil.
Dressed in national costumes, the bride looks particularly beautiful after unshaffing. Presumably, this happy whisper in the bride and groom's ear should have broken the hearts of many single dogs. Well, let's talk about the story of the city of Hetuala.
It is said that this Han Palace Gate was built in 1603 and was the place where Nurhaci ascended the throne as Khan in the city of Hetuala. On the first day of the first lunar month in 1616, Nurhaci ascended the throne here as Khan, and the name of the country was Houjin and the era name was Mandate of Heaven. (But now this one was rebuilt later.)
In the center of the great hall of the Khan Palace is the throne of Nurhaci ascending the throne of Khan, in front of which is the Dragon Book Case of Nurhaci's Approval fold, and on the east and west sides of the Dragon Book Case there are crane lotus wax tables, smokers and incense pavilions. There are eight flags on the left and right sides of the throne, and in the post-Jin dynasty, the eight banners were not only eight banners for leading soldiers to fight, but also eight military and political organizations under Nurhaci, who in 1601 created four banners: yellow, red, white, and blue, and by 1615, four banners were added to form eight banners.
In the middle of the inner city of Hetuala there is a well, the Khan King Well. The inside of the well is crystal clear, cool and sweet. It is said that when Nurhaci founded the city here, the military and civilians drank well water here, and this is the only well in the city of Hetuala.
The Former House of Takshi is the birthplace of Nurhaci, who was born in the main house in the middle of the three grass houses, and this is also a must-see spot for tourists to come to the city of Hetuala. However, from the overall architecture can also see the characteristics of Manchu houses, is not there a saying that goes like this: pocket room, swastika kang, smoke pipe out of the ground. Pocket room is the east side of the door, after entering the house to the west to go the whole house is like a pocket, this is mainly to keep the indoor temperature state, Wanzi Kang so the south and northwest three sides of the Kang, this kang can not only solve the residents sitting and living problems, but also through a lot of Kang noodles, so that the indoor temperature can be improved.
After viewing Nurhaci's birthplace, we took the scenic sightseeing car to the first Confucius Temple of the Qing Dynasty built by nurhaci of the Qing Dynasty: the Temple of Literature. These buildings were basically rebuilt later, but they still maintained the style and characteristics of the time to the greatest extent. It is not difficult to see that the culture at that time also had a huge influence, Nurhaci in order to accelerate the process of feudalization of the later Jin regime, the use of religious means, widely absorbed and integrated the Central Plains Han culture, the Confucian Han culture was highly respected, Hetuala's ancient city was founded soon after the construction of the temple of literature on the southeast corner of the inner city.
This time when I came to Hetuala City, it was also the early autumn, and the ancient city was full of green and yellow woven leaves, coupled with the long-lost blue sky and white clouds, the natural sound of birds and flowers, let us feel the autumn beauty of Liaoning. Pujue Temple is one of the seven major temples built by Nurhaci in the early Jin Dynasty, the first Guandi Temple in the Qing Dynasty, and one of the main ancient buildings in the ancient city of Hetuala. It reflects the religious beliefs and architectural art of the Manchus, the art of painting, the characteristics of sculpture art and cultural connotations.
Hetuala Village, formerly known as Old Town Village, after the Qing Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing in 1644 AD, called Beijing "New City", called Hetuala "Old Town", and the Old City Village got its name. The village here still maintains the most traditional Manchu lifestyle and habits, and it is also the first Chinese Manchu village nominated by the state. Walking in here, you will find that the names of each household are written in Manchu and Chinese.
The village's uniform house architecture is an absolute highlight, and in this ancient village of less than 2,000 people, people are proud of the legendary experience of Nurhaci. The surrounding pound water, the abundant agricultural and plant industry, but also let the people living here full of simple happiness.
