Tiananmen Square is now one of the landmarks of the mainland, representing the spiritual culture of the mainland and the gate of the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City is a place where only the ancient royal family is entitled to live, and its magnificence is in line with people's imagination of the royal family. In front of Tiananmen Square, there are two pairs of large pillars, which are more than 500 years old, and seem to be of little use, so what role do they have?
In fact, although these two large pillars look very powerful and domineering, in fact, he does not have much practical effect. The construction of the Forbidden City is to make the people of the ancient royal family look more solemn, so every construction of the Forbidden City is the wisdom and expectations of the ancient people, these two pillars were once just two totems in the ancient books, but the ancients thought that this can show the color of the nation, so it was made into a pillar that is more than 900 meters high and weighs 20,000 kilograms.
These two pairs of pillars are all made of White Jade, and their names are called "Huabiao", which is to show the coercion of the Chinese nation. Huabiao is divided into three parts, the stigma, the column body and the base. The stigma is a circular dew plate, slightly protruding from the column body, and the sacred beasts crouching on the dew plate appear in pairs, and there are male and female. The meaning is very profound: look out for the king. That is to say, I hope that the emperor will not be limited to the palace and the court, but will go out to understand the suffering of the people and save the people.
After the establishment of Tiananmen, the Jackie Chan Emperor issued an edict to the localities, if there is an emperor ascending the throne, some major activities of the big wedding, are used to Tiananmen, after the founding of New China, Tiananmen was crowned as the symbol of new China, with the highest attention and politics, Tiananmen also hung the national emblem, has become one of the major celebrations on the mainland. Seeing Tiananmen now will also bring us a lot of feelings, ancient people, do you still know that those cultural products have different meanings?
