The second season of "National Treasure" in the Forbidden City

tells the story of the past and present life of the Jin Ou Yonggu Cup, which is an important ritual used by the Qing Dynasty royal family during the New Year, implying that "the land will last forever and the country will last for ten thousand years". With the exhibition of the Jin Ou Yonggu Cup, the Palace Museum planned the largest "New Year in the Forbidden City" theme exhibition since its establishment. As soon as the exhibition was announced, my daughter and I discussed asking my classmates to go to the exhibition together.

1# August 27 , on the morning of the first day of the new year, we started our new year trip in the palace. At the gate of the meridian gate, a big Spring Festival couplet has been pasted. Qin Qiong, who is white-faced, and Jing De, who is black-faced, are on the left and right gates of Zhu Hong. New Year's Day, the Forbidden City really gave a big gift and opened the meridian gate to the entire section of the tower, turret and wall in the east half of Shenwu Gate for tourists to visit. On the square on the left side of the meridian gate, there are also 5 big "fu" characters. We followed the crowded crowd, picked up the steps along the left side steps, and soon reached the top of the tower. For the first time, standing on such a wide and tall wall, I felt small in an instant.

The contents in the Meridian Gate Exhibition Hall are the heaviest. As soon as you enter the exhibition hall, the first thing you see is the big gold table and the table of the clan banquet. The cultural relics on display tell the ostentation and style of the royal banquet. The Spring Festival is home for the Chinese, and the emperor is no exception. He also pays attention to family reunion. Of course, the most important thing in the Spring Festival is New Year's Eve. The princes of the imperial clan outside the palace bring their families into the palace to pay homage to their ancestors. Naturally, the emperor will bring out good wine and dishes to entertain his relatives and friends. In the evening, the queen or the queen mother will lead the concubines to keep watch.

Northern Chinese New Year, an essential food is dumplings, the Forbidden City is no exception. At the end of the year, the palace people will serve steaming dumplings for the queen mother and concubines to eat. At present, the custom of eating dumplings at 12 at night on the 30th of the year in many places is handed down from generation to generation. keeping the year old is a perfect match for dumplings! Interestingly, in the early Qing Dynasty, the emperor paid attention to plain stuffing when eating dumplings. He had the meaning of remembering bitterness and sweetness and not forgetting the difficulties of his ancestors in starting a business. Only in the era of Emperor Guangxu did it change, with half-meat and half-vegetarian dumpling stuffing. Looking back on the past and thinking about the present, we have to say that the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were really "bitter". Eating dumplings during the Spring Festival was restricted. Thinking about us in modern times, we are really happy. We can eat whatever stuffing we want. Don't care about the eyes of others at all.

The Chinese New Year celebration naturally requires etiquette and music. In the past, there was no Spring Festival Gala to watch. From the evening of the 30th of the year, the palace will play music for one night. In the exhibition hall, there are taiping drums, chimes, chimes, and other musical instruments such as guqin and harp. Many tourists don't know the harp, so they are whispering there. Is this the guzheng? My daughter told me softly that it was the ancient musical instrument "harp", which was just the same as the guqin "harp". I guess that the emperor on this day not only hopes that the country will be prosperous and the people will be secure, but also hopes that he will be able to communicate with his beloved people and love them with sweetness, right?

There are five pieces of "Fu" put together in the exhibition hall, which seems to imply "the five blessings". In fact, these five "Fu" characters have a lot of origins, and they come from the imperial pens of the five emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang. In the old Chinese New Year, the emperor would give the word "Fu" written by himself to his close princes and ministers as a sign of grace. The royal family, like the common people, is looking forward to opening the door to welcome the blessing, going out to receive the blessing, and having more children and more blessings. Tourists have taken out their mobile phones to scan "Fu" and collect "Fu" to ask for a blessing for themselves in the coming year. The exhibition hall is crowded with people, cameras are flashing, and the charm of traditional festivals is experienced in a new era.

Children are looking forward to the New Year and have the obsession and desire for New Year's money. The emperor owns all over the world, and the wealth of the whole country belongs to him. The Spring Festival party also distributes lucky money to his descendants and the close people around him. In ancient times, red envelopes were all kinds of exquisite purses for embroidery. The girl pointed to the purse in the display cabinet and said, in fact, it is best to put the New Year's money in the purse for children. The purse is tied around the waist and is not easy to lose. If you want to buy snacks, it is also convenient to spend money.

The most important position of this special exhibition, of course, should be reserved for the protagonist-Jin Ou Yonggu Cup. The exquisite gold cup is placed on a separate booth in the middle of the main hall. Seeing it, it is reminiscent of the scene where Emperor Qianlong poured Tu Su wine into the cup and opened the pen through the window. "The country is prosperous and the people are in peace, and the weather is favorable", which is not only the highest and most simple wish in the hearts of the emperor but also the Li people. "In the sound of painting horns, the old year is divided, and the new year is full of joy." The ancient Chinese folk had the custom of drinking Tu Su wine in the New Year. After adding the opening ceremony, it showed the mentality of the Qing emperor to revive the ancient ceremony. Today, we need to pay more attention to and inherit the traditional culture and customs of our ancestors while opening up wider to the outside world, so that our Spring Festival will become more and more popular and loved by people.

In fact, the Spring Festival is not only a traditional stylization. After the necessary etiquette activities are completed, it is everyone's entertainment time. The exhibition hall of Yan Wing Building shows the animation "Ice Play Picture". The "Ice Play Picture" depicts the scene of the ice play in Taishi Pool on the 8th of December. The core of the performance is the dragon ball project. There are also various "figure skating" and acrobatic performances in the team. Singing big plays is also an important part of the royal Chinese New Year. The exhibition hall displays the play list of Qianlong's theater in that year, with the title of the play, a brief introduction to the plot, and the main cast. The window also displays the actors' exquisite costumes and accompaniment instruments. The center of the exhibition hall also sets up miniature large and small stages. During the Spring Festival, the emperor also wanted to have fun with the people. The monarch and his family watched the big play, and the stage was full of attention. The stage was beautiful and beautiful, and the military commanders were imposing and graceful, making it a peaceful scene.

I don't know if the emperor will go out to bask in the sun after watching the play and stroll around the Forbidden City, but we walked on the wall of Yanji Building to Shenwu Gate. Standing on the walls overlooking the Forbidden City is a magical experience, with a panoramic view of the huge buildings of the Eastern Palace. The tall Changyin Pavilion, Yueshi Building, Wenyuan Pavilion with Siku Quanshu, and the 9,999 and a half half-room house are no longer unattainable. The city wall turns to the opposite of Jingshan Park, and looks around along the Wanchun Pavilion of Wanshou Mountain. The buildings behind are unfolded under the background of modern buildings, and I feel a kind of trance staggered between ancient and modern. At this time, the classmate was pleasantly surprised to find that her son and a group of young people were coming head-on, and they also came to see this special exhibition. More and more young people are beginning to like our traditional culture, like our own Spring Festival, and improve young people's national and cultural self-confidence. This is also the original intention of the Forbidden City to plan this "New Year in the Forbidden City.

moved from Shenwumen to Ganqing Palace. The Spring Festival couplets and door gods on the door are constantly changing. There are four kinds of door gods: Wu Men God, Wen Men God, Xiangu Men God and Tong Men God, each with its own moral. After the door gods in the palace are used up, they should be put away and stored in the door god library, and then picked up and pasted up in the next year-the ancient people attached great importance to frugality to cultivate virtue. Looking all the way, there were more and more tourists, and we were a little conspicuous in the flow of people-on this trip, my daughter and I put on Hanfu. In the Forbidden City, which is more than 42 600 years old, wearing their own national costumes for the New Year, I can feel the imprint left by my ancestors on me, and I have left better memories for myself.

Outside the main hall of Ganqing Palace, two longevity lamps are separated. Each lamp is three or four stories high. The lamp is both majestic and festive. It is said that more than

800 people are needed from transportation to lighting. There are two such big guys standing in front of the magnificent palace. I feel shocked or shocked. On both sides of Ganqing Palace, His Majesty Dan set up a legendary sky lantern. The height of the sky lantern pole is 14 meters, which is mainly responsible for lighting. In the Qing Dynasty, the sky lantern was set up on the 24th of the New Year. It was withdrawn on the 3rd of February and lit every night. As soon as the sky lantern came out, the hall became more resplendent and magnificent. Looking around, the corridors of the Qian Qing Palace and the surrounding halls are also covered with various palace lanterns that imply auspiciousness, and everywhere is filled with festive jubilation.

enters the exhibition hall on the side. there is also an interactive link combining modern technology and classical culture. there are fireworks on the floor, designs that can reflect one's shadow into flowers and treasures falling one after another, and the wit of guiding all kinds of exotic flowers and flowers on the big screen as the tourists' arms swing left and right. The most surprising thing is that after several of us tourists waved their arms upward together, a small snow pile began to grow in the snowflakes flying on the big screen, and the longer it grew, the bigger it became, and finally it grew into the appearance of the statue at the gate of Shenwu Gate, there was a naughty boy playing in front of the mythical beast ...... The child is hope, in this universal celebration of the Spring Festival, auspicious and hope come to the world together, gave us infinite joy, infinite hope
