Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 615 Forbidden City

   I don't know if they came too early, or if it was snowing and everyone was reluctant to go out. When Yang Chen and his party arrived at the Forbidden City, there were not many tourists.

   Along the way, Sister Song kept spreading information about the Forbidden City to the two of them.

   It was the first time I saw the Forbidden City with my own eyes. Except for Sister Song, everyone in the group was stunned by its solemnity.

  I don’t know why, since entering the Forbidden City, everyone’s voices involuntarily became much smaller, as if they were afraid of breaking the tranquility here.

  The Forbidden City has been open for many years. After several renovations back and forth, this royal palace is more solemn and solemn than in later TV and movies.

   "This is the Wenhua Hall, which was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, and is opposite to the Wuying Hall from east to west.

  Wenhua Hall was the first palace of the prince in the Ming Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, it was often the place where the emperor held prayer banquets.

  After Li Zicheng invaded the Forbidden City in the late Ming Dynasty, most of the buildings of the Wenhua Palace were destroyed. It was not until the 22nd year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty that the Wenhua Palace was rebuilt.

   In the Ming and Qing dynasties, every spring, autumn and mid-month, a sutra feast would be held in the Wenhua Hall.

  In the Qing Dynasty, great scholars, Shangshu, Zuodu Yushi, Shilang and others acted as lecturers at the banquet, expounding the experience of teaching the "Four Books and Five Classics", and the examination papers of the two dynasties were also conducted in the Wenhua Hall...

  Sister Song spoke in detail, with a few small stories mixed in from time to time, making Yang Chen and a few people follow behind, and they were fascinated by it.

   When several people passed through Wenhua Hall and came to Wenyuan Pavilion at the back, they met an old man with gray hair and wearing a Tang suit.

   "Grandpa Li, why are you still here?"

   Hearing the voice, the old man turned his head suspiciously, and when he saw the person coming, a hint of kindness appeared on his old-fashioned face.

   "It's you, Xiaoxue"

  The old man did not answer her words, and looked at Yang Chen and his party behind Song Xue with doubts.

  Song Xue saw this and quickly introduced: "Grandpa Li, they are guests from Xiangjiang."

When the old man heard that Yang Chen and the others came from Xiangjiang, there was a hint of stunned expression on his originally puzzled face. Although he had not heard anything outside the window for a long time, Yang Chen and his delegation from the business community came to the capital. Arrangements, of course, the Forbidden City.

  The old man also heard the news earlier, but he didn't expect people to come so quickly.

   "It turned out to be a compatriot of Xiangjiang, welcome, welcome..."

   "Mr. Yang, Miss He, this is Master Li of the Palace Museum."

   "Hello, Master Li, sorry to bother you."

   Mr. Li waved his hand: "Don't bother, I'm just bored, come and see, Xiaoxue, you can continue to take a few guests to busy, don't worry about me, I'll go back in a while."

  Song Xue said a little worriedly: "Grandpa Li, please slow down on the road. It's snowing and the ground will be slippery."

  Old man: "It's alright, it's alright, when your grandfather Li is not old enough to walk unsteadily, go do your work."

   Seeing this, Song Xue couldn't say anything else, and walked towards Wenyuan Pavilion with Yang Chen and the others.

  Wenyuan Pavilion is also commonly known as the library. It used to be the place where the royal family kept books. Books in ancient times were the inheritance of knowledge and the heritage of a family.

  In ancient times, it symbolized the heritage of a family. In addition to the land, one of them was books. The importance of books was more important than human life.

  A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family.

  In the past dynasties, the dynasties were all created by fighting, and the dynasties that were created depended on the dynasties that were struck. Throughout history, no one has lasted for more than a thousand years.

   But the family can be passed down for thousands of years, especially those thousand-year-old families. The capital for them to settle down is not money, nor land, but books.

   In the feudal dynasties of the official standard system, the status of scholars has always been very high, even the so-called poor and sour scholars are not comparable to ordinary land and wealthy owners.

   Yan Ruyu in the book

  The book has its own golden house

   is the truth

"The Wenyuan Pavilion here was built in the Qianlong period. The Wenyuan Pavilion in the early Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the war in the late Ming Dynasty. It was originally used for the storage of the 'Siku Quanshu', and the pavilion was imitated from Ningbofan Shi Tianyi Pavilion…”

   Arrived here, but Yang Chen and the others were stopped, and they could only watch in the outer hall, because there were many ancient books in it, in order to avoid man-made damage, under normal circumstances, tourists are not allowed to enter.

   "The grandpa Li we met just now is a master of cultural relic restoration. Many of the orphaned copies here were restored by Grandpa Li."

   "There's nothing to see here, let's go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, press, also known as the Hall of Golden Thrones, the place where the emperor held the great court meeting."

  Yang Chen nodded, followed Song Xue with He Chaoqiong, went straight out of the Wenhua Palace, and asked casually, "Sister Song, can people come in to shoot in the Forbidden City?"

   "Filming?" Song Xue glanced at the camera in Yang Chen's hand, as if to say, 'Aren't you shooting right now? ’

   Seeing Song Xue's small movements, Yang Chen immediately explained: "I'm not talking about taking pictures, I mean, filming a documentary and filming the entire Forbidden City."

   "I have a TV station over there in Xiangjiang, and right now there happens to be a food show, specializing in the introduction of traditional food from various countries and regions. There are several major cuisines in our country, and there are many kinds of food to eat.

   It won’t be long before I come here to shoot. Before that, I want to shoot a documentary. The Forbidden City is a part of the cultural heritage of our country. It is undoubtedly the best to start with it. "

  Song Xue listened and wondered: "I'm really not good at answering you, but I can ask the leaders of the museum for you. If the leaders can agree, there should be no problem."

  Yang Chen didn't embarrass Song Xue either. After all, there is a big difference between taking photos and making documentaries. Without the consent of the museum, naturally, you can't shoot randomly.

   Of course, these are little things.

  As a compatriot in Xiangjiang, he holds a TV station in his hand at home. The museum will definitely not refuse such cultural propaganda that can expand the positive image of the country.

   Food is also part of a national culture.

Now ATV's food programs have been introduced by many Asian TV stations. There are not many entertainment programs these days. People like Cai Lan take female stars and eat and drink all over the world every day. This makes many people who want to go abroad to learn about other countries. Folks, please pay attention.

   Food culture, no matter where it is placed, is the focus of people's attention, especially the Chinese who inherit Chinese culture.

   Friends have not been together for a long time, and when we meet, what we say, the main line can never be separated from the following few sentences.

   "Have you eaten?" "What do you want to eat?" "Where to eat?"

  Eating is a theme that human beings can never live without.

  As a nation in the world, it is the most able to eat, the most able to eat, and the best to know how to eat.

  ATV's food program, if it lacks the inland part, it is definitely incomplete.

  —

   Yes, I was banned from "covering my face" again. .
