Changmen Palace
Changmen Palace was originally a private garden owned by Princess Liu of Guantao. It was dedicated to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the name of the princess's lover Dong Yan. It was used as a resting place for the emperor during sacrifices. Later, Queen Chen, Liu's daughter who was a prostitute, was deposed and moved to Changmen Palace. Empress Chen Ajiao was unwilling to be deposed and spent a lot of money to buy poems. She got the "Ode on Changmen" written by Sima Xiangru, which spread the name of Changmen through the ages. Nagatogu Shrine has also become synonymous with the cold palace.
Nangmen Palace was originally the property of Guantao. Guantao gave it to Liu Che in the name of Dong Yan. Liu Che not only rewarded Dong Yan greatly, but also looked at Dong Yan differently. Everyone should know that Dong Yan was a man who could not rise to the level of elegance, but he was gradually favored by Emperor Wu because of this. Moreover, "Uncle Yuan said that Dong Yan persuaded Princess Guantao to offer her to him" is enough to show Guantao's reluctance, no matter who he is. Whether it is true or not, we can see the scenery of Changmen Palace at that time and Liu Che's love for Changmen Palace. Changmen Palace was called a garden before and then changed to a palace. It can be seen that there are gardens and palaces. Its scenery is not inferior to Shanglin Garden. It was also considered a unique feature of Chang'an at that time. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a golden house. Its scenery and its location are one of the reasons why Liu Che had to step into Changmen Palace.
Empress Chen Gillian died of melancholy in Changmen Palace. Literati often wrote poems with the title "Changmen", such as Sima Xiangru's "Ode to Changmen" and Lu You's "The Revenge of Changmen" , and a seven-melody song called "Changmen Shang", whose author cannot be verified.
Nagato Shang
In the past, a beautiful girl was hidden in a golden house, but today no one has pity on her in the cold palace.
Lying stiffly on the brocade couch and weeping secretly, I stand alone with my face decorated with water chestnut flowers.
Winter has gone and the flowers have bloomed, and I have no intention of admiring them. Autumn has come and the leaves have fallen, and I feel sad.
Since there is no laughter in Nagato, the love between the two will never return.
Nagato's Resent
Lu You
The cold wind whistles, the cold sun is miserable and lacks the light,
I dare not hate when I am empty, but I cherish my feelings Sad at the end of the year.
If you choose the harem this year, you will have thousands of eyebrows;
I had known that I would be punished quickly, but I would have regretted not accepting my kindness too late.
The sound should reverberate through the nine heavens, and the tears should reach the nine springs.
After death, I will still remember my thoughts, and in life, I will give up my life.

Weiyang Palace
Royal Palace of the Western Han Dynasty in China. The current site is located about 3 kilometers northwest of present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. It was located in the southwest of Chang'an City, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty. Because it is to the west of Changle Palace, it was called West Palace in the Han Dynasty. It was built on the basis of Qin Zhangtai in the seventh year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (200 BC). In the same year, the capital was moved from Liyang to Chang'an. The city wall was built in the first to fifth years of Emperor Hui (194-190 BC). After Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, it began to become the main palace.
Chang'an was the capital of the Han Dynasty in China. It was expanded from the Xingle Palace of the Qin Dynasty. The north wall was built according to the Wei River, and the south wall also changed according to the palace wall. The main buildings in the city are palaces, of which Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace are the most famous.
According to records, there were one gate on each side of the palace, but there were gaps at the east gate and the north gate. There are more than 40 palaces and rooms in the palace, as well as six hills and many pools. There are nearly a hundred large and small portals, and there is a pavilion road connecting it with Changle Palace. The architectural remains discovered today include the front hall in the center. The base of the front hall is about 200 meters wide from east to west, about 350 meters long from north to south, and the highest point is 15 meters. According to the survey, the front hall is located in the center of the whole palace, and its base was built using the hills of Longshou Mountain. The ruins of the second palace are to the north of the front hall, and the ruins of the third palace are to the northwest of the front hall. They are both group buildings built on rammed earth platforms, each with multiple gates and halls. According to the unearthed relics, it is inferred that the former is the harem where the concubines lived, and the latter is the official office of the palace. What is more special is that there are many tunnels dug under the rammed earth foundation of Palace No. 2. The walls are erected with pilasters, the walls are painted with grass mud and white ash, and the floor is paved with strips of bricks.
According to historical records, Weiyang Palace was built shortly after the restoration of Changle Palace. It was built after Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty became emperor, and was supervised by Xiao He, an important minister of Liu Bang. Since the completion of Weiyang Palace, the emperors of the Han Dynasty have lived here, so its reputation far exceeds that of other palaces. In the poetry of later generations, Weiyang Palace has become synonymous with the Han Palace. The entire palace consists of more than 40 palaces, including Chengming, Qingliang, and Jinhua. The front hall of Weiyang Palace was built to the north and west of the main entrance in the south. The tall rammed earth platform from that time still exists at the site of Weiyang Palace in the Han Dynasty.
The Chang'an Palace of the Han Dynasty is the longest-standing palace in the history of our country: after Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the Wang Mang regime, the Western Jin Dynasty, the former Zhao Dynasty, the former Qin Dynasty, the later Qin Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty all used it as the central government. The administrative hub was destroyed in the late Sui Dynasty.
Many major historical events of the Western Han Dynasty happened here: Zhang Qian set out from here to open up the Silk Road; the beautiful Queen Zhaojun voluntarily left the fortress to marry the Huns; Zhao Feiyan once lived here.

Daming Palace
p>In the Forbidden Garden of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, it was located in Longshouyuan in the northeast of the city. This palace was built in the eighth year of Zhenguan (634 AD) and was originally called Yong'an Palace. In the second year of Longshuo (662 AD), Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty ordered the expansion, and the following year it moved to the Daming Palace to govern. In the third year of Qianning (896 AD), the palace was destroyed by war. The perimeter of Daming Palace is more than 7.6 kilometers. It covers an area of ??about 3.2 square kilometers; it is four times the size of the Forbidden City in Beijing. The palace city has 11 gates, with gates on the east, west and north sides; there are three palace walls guarding the south, and the Danfengmen Street outside the wall is wide. With a height of 176 meters, it is one of the most magnificent palace complexes in the Tang Dynasty.
The Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty is the largest and most luxurious and magnificent palace complex among the three palace complexes in Chang'an City. It is perched on the Dragon's Head Plain in the Forbidden Garden in the north of the city. From it, you can see thousands of peaks in the southern part of the city as clearly as the palm of your hand, and you can overlook the streets and streets in the capital city as if you were within the threshold.
So, why was it built on the original head of a tall dragon, and why was it named after the two buildings of the Ming Dynasty?
When Li Yuan and Li Shimin first established the Tang Dynasty, There is only one royal palace in Chang'an City: Taiji Palace. And this Tai Chi Palace was not newly built in the Tang Dynasty, but old in the Sui Dynasty. After Li Yuan became the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he wanted to build a new luxurious palace to enjoy the happiness of the world. However, due to the advice of Li Shimin and other wise ministers, he had to give up. Later, King Li Shimin of Qin became emperor as Taizong of Tang Dynasty. He respected Li Yuan as the Supreme Emperor and spent his remaining years in the palace. This Li Yuan is a mediocre and greedy person. He was not satisfied with having fun in the Tai Chi Palace. He felt that the Tai Chi Palace was low-lying, humid in autumn and sultry in the summer. He also felt that the rooms in the Tai Chi Palace were small and old, so he was unhappy all day long. I deeply regret that when I was the emperor, I did not take the initiative to build one or two magnificent palaces. Seeing that his father was unhappy, Taizong asked his father about his discomfort and requests during the morning and evening, but Li Yuan remained silent. Tang Taizong, who had many things to do, was too busy dealing with state affairs, so he did not delve into the matter further. Soon, Li Yuan finally became depressed and became ill. Taizong became anxious, but when he asked his father, Li Yuan still didn't speak. He had to ask his mother, Empress Dowager Dou. Empress Dowager Dou was a sensible person. Although she told Li Yuan's "heart disease", But he also advised his son not to use the funds of the treasury to build a new palace, and let his son deal with the important affairs of the government wholeheartedly, leaving the matters of advising and regulating Li Yuan to himself. But this time Taizong did not dare to take it lightly. He issued an edict to use his private savings to build a temporary summer palace for his father on the Gaofu at the beginning of Longshou in the north of the city. He named it "Yong'an Palace", hoping that after his father lived in it, The dragon body can recover and enjoy eternal peace and happiness.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan died of illness shortly after the groundbreaking. Taizong thought: Since his father could not live in it, let him build it for his mother to live in. Therefore, the construction of Yong'an Palace continued.
On this day, the craftsmen were digging the foundation of the hall, and suddenly a dazzling golden light emitted from the ground. The craftsmen did not dare to dig any more, so they went to report to Taizong. Taizong personally visited the construction site and ordered the craftsmen to continue digging. As they dug and dug, they suddenly saw something radiant and dazzling. It turned out to be a huge ancient bronze mirror. This mirror was five feet nine feet high. inch, four feet wide, the face is like the sun, shining with golden light, the back is like the moon, the clear brilliance can be seen, the surrounding patterns are simple, and dust does not stick to it. After Taizong looked at it, he couldn't recognize the treasure from which generation it belonged, so he humbly asked the accompanying officials such as Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng for advice. Wei Zheng motioned to Fang Xuanling to speak first, and Fang Xuanling asked Wei Zheng to speak first. Taizong saw his two ministers playing riddles, so he ordered the general: "Wei Aiqing, please speak first, and Fang Aiqing will add later, how about that?"
Wei Zheng stroked his beard and spoke without hesitation.
It turns out that this precious mirror is the famous Qin Mirror, which has been kept in the Xianyang Palace of Qin Shihuang. There is a strange thing about it. If you look into the mirror from the opposite side, the person's reflection will be reflected inside. If you put your hand on your chest, you can see the internal organs in the body. The image is very clear and every fiber is visible. More importantly, it can illuminate the loyalty and treachery of the ministers and the rise and fall of the country's destiny... This is indeed a national treasure that can distinguish authenticity from falsehood, reveal loyalty and treachery, diagnose national diseases, and protect the country. However, Qin Shihuang only used it to take care of the maids in the palace. Anyone who was "daring" would be beheaded as someone with different intentions.
Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, went even further and killed many people, but he left behind traitorous ministers such as Zhao Gao who regarded deer as horses and monopolized power to harm the country. Qiang Qin, who became famous for a while and feared the Xiongnu, died in an instant. When Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, first occupied Xianyang, the capital of Qin, Xiao He persuaded him to seal off all the palaces including Xianyang Palace and Epang Palace. He did not want any gold, silver, treasures, children, jade, silk, bells, tripods, dogs or horses. He only took away all the books, scrolls, books and scrolls in the Qin Palace. Then there is the national treasure - Qin Mirror. Because of this precious mirror, Han Zuo was able to last for hundreds of years! At the end of the Han Dynasty, when heroes were vying for hegemony, Qin Jing was nowhere to be found. Who would have thought that hundreds of years later, Qin Jing would be born again on Longshou Plain!
Having said this, Wei Zheng bowed deeply to Taizong and congratulated him: "Today's birth of Qin Jing heralds the eternal greenness of the Tang Dynasty. This is due to your majesty's great blessings. I congratulate you!"
After hearing this, Taizong pushed away the Qin Mirror carried by the two chamberlains and said, "What use do I need this mirror for? I have already obtained a bright mirror that is thousands of times better than the Qin Mirror!"
Hearing this, Wei Zheng blushed, but the mature Fang Xuanling asked puzzledly: "Where is your majesty's bright mirror, so that I can have a quick look at it?"
Taizong's hand Caressing Wei Zheng's shoulder, he said: "Wei Aiqing is my bright mirror! Fang Aiqing, what do you think it is?"
Fang Xuanling clapped her hands and smiled and said: "What your Majesty said Absolutely, Wei Chen congratulates him! Hahaha!"
Wei Zheng's face became even redder, he leaned over and said thank you, "How dare you, Your Majesty, compete with Qin Jing! "..."
Taizong said solemnly: "I use copper as a mirror to dress my clothes, use ancient times as a mirror to know the rise and fall, and use people as a mirror to know the gains and losses. Wei Aiqing often gives advice." Isn’t it a high-hanging mirror that allows me to understand gains and losses? In order to remember today’s meeting of the mirror, I specially changed this Yong’an Palace to Daming Palace!”
Everyone! Everyone cheered. Daming Palace got its name.
From then on, the name of Daming Palace spread throughout the world.
After the completion of the Daming Palace, Emperor Taizong indeed used Qin Jing as the treasure of the palace, making it a truly "Daming" palace worthy of the name. The common people in Chang'an said: "Every night, you can see the bright light in the Daming Palace on Longshou Plain. It is as bright as day." However, Taizong never moved to the Daming Palace. He has always been in the Taiji Palace, relying on The assistance of Ming Jing, Wei Zheng and other capable ministers created a great situation for the "Government of Zhenguan".
Later, Taizong's son Li Zhi ascended the throne as Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty. This is an emperor who is both cowardly and incompetent, but also loves to enjoy himself. He left the government affairs to Queen Wu Zetian and hid in the palace to have fun. He used the excuse that the Taiji Palace was low-lying and humid, which caused him to suffer from wind paralysis, and issued an edict to rebuild and expand the Daming Palace at the head of Longshou. Where did the money come from? He was reluctant to dig into his own pocket and decided to exploit the people and officials to raise a huge sum of money to rebuild the Daming Palace. He issued an edict to collect taxes from the people of fifteen states including Shaanxi and Shanxi, and deducted one month's salary of all civil and military officials in Beijing to use it to rebuild the Daming Palace. He recruited skilled craftsmen from all over the country and tens of thousands of civilian workers, and worked day and night. Many civilian craftsmen were whipped to death and exhausted. Finally, within the tight deadline of one or two years, he rebuilt and expanded a building with a circumference of fifteen miles and a It is a luxurious and huge palace complex with twenty-one gates, twenty-four palaces, a large number of pavilions and an artificial lake called "Penglai Pond". He felt that the word "Daming" had a satirical meaning to him, so he changed the name of Daming Palace to "Penglai Palace". Then he moved in and lived. After he moved into 46 Penglai Palace, he was like a fish in water. He spent all day playing in the Penglai Pool and worshiping Buddha on Penglai Island, and didn't care about business at all.
One day, he suddenly remembered that Seeing the Qin Mirror, he went to the Hidden Mirror Tower to see if he could use it to take pictures of the palace maids for fun. Who knows, he searched the entire Hidden Mirror Tower and even the entire Penglai Palace, but there was no trace of Qin Jing anywhere! The eunuch who was guarding the mirror was arrested and tortured. The eunuch kowtowed and reported that Qin Jing had disappeared since the day when the emperor changed the name of Daming Palace to Penglai Palace! After hearing this, Zong's eyes widened in horror. Soon, he became blind.
Although Gaozong Li Zhi insisted on changing the Daming Palace to Penglai Palace, his future plans would not be the same. However, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty still called Daming Palace Daming Palace. For thousands of years, no one in Chang'an and even the whole country knew about Daming Palace, but very few people knew the name "Penglai Palace".

Guanwa Palace
According to the "Wuyue Spring and Autumn Annals": "In the west of Helv City, there is a mountain called Yanshi, and there is Guanwa Palace on it." Yanshi Mountain is the other name of Lingyan Mountain today.
Origin:
In 494 BC, the King of Yue went to Wu as a hostage due to his defeat. At the same time, he paid tribute a large amount of precious wealth and beauties to please Fu Chai. Fu Chai loved Xi Shi, a beautiful woman who came as tribute from the King of Yue, and built this large-scale palace specifically for her. The palace has "bronze magatama sills decorated with pearls and jade", and the pavilions are exquisite and magnificent. Guanwa Palace is a relatively complete early garden in Chinese history. So far, there are many remains of Guanwa Palace, which attract people to visit and remember. It is said that the current main hall of Lingyanshan Temple was built on the former site of Guanwa Palace Hall. Liu Yuxi, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, has a poem: "The palace has a beautiful baby, which was a big exaggeration at that time. The beauty of the Wu Kingdom is over, and the smile is in the house of the king of Chu..."
Poetry:
Regarding Guanwa Palace, literati from past dynasties have left countless good sentences, examples are as follows:
Guanwa Palace Nostalgia (Part 1)
Pi Rixiu
The fragrance from Qi Pavilion descends to Taihu Lake, and the rebel troops invade Gusu at dawn.
The king of Yue was in great disgrace. He only gained Wu from Xi Shi.
Fude Guanwa Palace sent Wangshan people to travel to Jiangdong
Era: Tang Author: Lu Lun
The maple forest is green and the grass is deep in the abandoned palace.
The wind and waves rise across the water, and the song of the King of Wu sinks.
The swallows have returned to their nests, and the crane's tomb is hard to find.
What night when I am traveling there, I hope you will play the jade harp.
The Five Unique Nostalgias of Heximei Guanwa Palace (Three Thousand Though Clothes and Water Rhinoceros Beads)
Era: Tang Author: Lu Guimeng
Three Thousand Though Clothes and Water Rhinoceros Beads Pearl, in the middle of the night the husband sent the country to massacre secretly.
There are still eight people, all 28, who teach Xizi alone to conquer Wu.
The flowers in the first palace ripple, and the crows and servant girls emerge from their cocoons.
You can expect the singing and dancing sleeves in the seat, and then the flag will be lowered.
How many cloud pavilions are leaning against the blue sky, and the flames burn out and become flat.
This place should be stained with the blood of hatred, and the spring grass grows unevenly.
The color of the river is clear as it circles the stage, and the war sails are spread out far away from each other.
The God of Waves is disgusted with his debauched master, and Gou Jian's boat is stable.
The fragrant socks and fragrant silk are broken by Xiaochen. Who would pity the flowery people among the rebels?
The shrike must be an elf messenger, still weeping to the setting sun in late spring.
Life in Guanwa Palace
Modern Qin Hao
Light and graceful silk and satin,
in the corridor paved with sapphire,

Flow and dance.
The clear echo of those gold and jade,
Amidst the moaning of the torn silk fabric
My husband is finally gone.
The spring rain has just stopped, and the setting sun is shining slantingly;
In Lingyin Temple, there are many tourists.
The people here,
are always telling,
the same story about a charming woman,
a gentle breeze, Blow through the door plaque.
I vaguely saw the Guanwa Palace,
three familiar big characters.
