Nine Dragon Screen in the Forbidden City

Coming out of the East Six Palaces, you will see a wall called the Nine Dragon Wall. The Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City is made of colored glaze. There are nine dragons on the front, which is why the Nine Dragon Wall got its name. One of the tiles is made of wood, not colored glaze tiles. It is said that after the building was built, a piece of the colored glaze tile was broken, and the craftsmen temporarily replaced it with wood in order to avoid being beheaded, and they actually fooled the emperor.

Located outside the Huangji Gate in the Ningshou Palace area of ​​the Forbidden City, it is a single-sided glazed screen wall built with its back against the palace wall. It was fired during the Qianlong period.

The upper part is a yellow glazed roof, and the eaves are imitation wood structures. The wall is based on clouds and water, with blue and green alternating, which sets off the momentum of the connection between water and sky. The lower part is a white marble base, which is dignified and solemn.

The nine dragons are made in high relief, with a strong sense of three-dimensionality. The cliff rocks running through the center of the wall separate the nine dragons into five spaces. The craftsmanship fully demonstrates the wisdom and artistic talent of the ancient Han working people.

There are three ancient Nine Dragon Walls in China. One is in Datong, Shanxi, and the other is on the East Road of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Both of them are single-sided, but the Nine Dragon Wall in Beihai Park is a double-sided wall.

The Nine Dragon Wall was built in the 21st year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1756 AD) and has a history of more than 260 years. It is an exquisite and gorgeous glazed building. Legend has it that it was built by Emperor Qianlong after he saw the Nine Dragon Wall in front of the palace of the Ming Dynasty in Datong City, Shanxi Province.

The Nine Dragon Wall is 6.65 meters high, 1.2 meters thick and 25.86 meters long. It was originally the screen wall of the "Great Round Mirror Wisdom Hall". Nine lifelike dragons of different shapes are inlaid with seven-color glazed bricks, including orange, yellow, white, green, cyan, blue and purple. Each one is vigorous and vivid. In addition to the nine dragons, there are 635 small dragons of various shapes on the ridges, vertical ridges, hooks and drips of the wall.

This Nine Dragon Wall is so exquisite. In addition to the eighteen large dragons on both sides with different shapes, there are also different patterns of sunrise and moonrise on the east and west sides.

The Nine Dragon Wall is 29.4 meters long, 3.5 meters high and 0.45 meters thick. It is a single-sided glazed screen wall built against the palace wall. It was built in the 37th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1772) during the reconstruction of the Ningshou Palace. The Nine Dragon Wall here is collectively known as the "Three Major Nine Dragon Walls in China" along with the Nine Dragon Wall in Datong, Shanxi and the Nine Dragon Wall in Beihai Park, Beijing. The Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City is the most exquisite of them all and can be regarded as a model of ancient urban sculpture in my country. The nine dragons on the Nine Dragon Wall are divided into upright dragons, ascending dragons and descending dragons. Each dragon tumbles freely with different expressions.

Located behind the South Third Palace outside the Huangji Gate in the Ningshou Palace area of ​​the Forbidden City. Decorated with colorful glazed tiles, each dragon has a different posture, vivid and amazing. It can be called the "twin wall" with the Nine Dragon Wall in Beihai Park.

There is a Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City, which was fired during the Qianlong period.

The upper part is covered with yellow glazed tiles, and the eaves are made of imitation wood structure.

The surface is covered with clouds and water as the background, and nine dragons are embossed in flying relief.

It is connected to a white marble base, which is dignified, beautiful and solemn.

The craftsmanship is exquisite and the techniques are superb, and the people are wise and talented.

The Nine Dragon Screen in the Forbidden City is located outside the Huangji Gate in the Ningshou Palace area of ​​the Forbidden City. The screen is 29.4 meters long, 3.5 meters high and 0.45 meters thick. It is a single-sided glazed screen built against the palace wall. It was built when the Ningshou Palace was rebuilt in the 37th year of Emperor Qianlong (1772). The nine dragons on the screen are made in high relief, with the highest part 20 cm above the wall, forming a strong three-dimensional effect and very exquisite.

There are three famous Nine Dragon Walls in China. Two are in Beijing, namely the Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City and the Nine Dragon Wall in Beihai. There is another one in Datong. The Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City is in the Treasure House. You have to buy a ticket to enter and visit it. I don’t quite understand this. Fortunately, the ticket to the Treasure House is very cheap. You have to come in and see it when you come to the Forbidden City.

I went there in September. There were always tourists in front of the Nine Dragon Wall. I took a photo in front of the Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl.

A little discolored...

For the author, the most worth seeing in the Treasure House is the Nine Dragon Wall. The Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City was built in the 37th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1770 AD) and is the most exquisite of the "Three Major Nine Dragon Walls in China" (the Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Nine Dragon Wall in Datong and the Nine Dragon Wall in Beihai, Beijing).

The Nine Dragon Wall is the screen wall of the Ningshou Palace. It was built during the reign of Emperor Qianlong and is one of the three largest Nine Dragon Walls in China.

This is the most complete and beautiful of the three Nine Dragon Walls.

The ancients' meticulous craftsmanship is admirable

Now that you are in the Forbidden City, you should see everything you need to see. The Nine Dragon Wall is still very spectacular. Anyway, the money has already been paid for the ticket.

The Nine Dragon Wall is super magnificent! It is majestic and majestic

If you want to see the Nine Dragon Screen, please buy a ticket to the Treasure House. Although the ticket price is not expensive, it is still a bit disappointing.

After listening to the explanation from the Archery Pavilion, Bubble and I walked quickly towards the Treasure House.

After checking my ticket and passing through Xiqing Gate, I was attracted by the magnificent Nine Dragon Wall at first sight.

The Nine Dragon Wall in front of Huangji Gate is full of "Qianlong" characteristics.

The exquisite and gorgeous colored glaze sparkles brightly, and the nine dragons of different shapes are lifelike. Almost every visitor to the Treasure House will stop to take a look.

The dragon is a symbol of China, and here you can see exquisite art - Dragon

The Nine Dragon Screen is a type of screen wall, a wall used to block vision in traditional Chinese architecture. It is located outside the Huangji Gate in the Ningshou Palace area of ​​the Forbidden City. The wall is 29.47 meters long, 3.59 meters high, and 0.45.9 meters thick. It is a single-sided glazed screen wall built against the palace wall. It was built when the Ningshou Palace was rebuilt in the 37th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1770).

Yes, the colored glaze Nine Dragon Wall is worth seeing, especially there is a story about the craftsman waiting for you to explore~

I heard that this is the lowest of the three Nine Dragon Walls. I'll go see the other two if I have a chance.

The Nine Dragon Wall is a group of simple and elegant royal screen walls.

The famous cultural relics in the Forbidden City are lifelike and exquisitely carved.

One of the representatives of Chinese civilization, it fully embodies the great wisdom of the ancients.

You can only see it after entering the Treasure House (Ningshou Palace complex), near the entrance

The Nine Dragon Wall in Beihai Park can be seen from both sides, but unfortunately the one in the Forbidden City can only be seen from one side, the other side is not open to the public.

The Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City in July 2013. The dragon is full of vigor. The expressive eyes and the agility of soaring. This must be the most imposing dragon in China!

It is well preserved, and you can see how ingenious the carvings were in the past.

In front of the Huangji Hall in the Forbidden City, there is a place that almost every visitor to the Forbidden City must visit - the Nine Dragon Wall. Its craftsmanship can be regarded as a model of ancient Chinese urban sculptures, and its colors are very gorgeous. Relevant experts believe that the reason why the Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City looks vivid is that the craftsmen used the principle of color compensation when mixing the colors, which is very amazing.

There are still many people in the cold wind... This is the only one without anyone in the photo...

The Nine Dragon Wall is one of the three largest Nine Dragon Walls in China. There are two in Beijing and one in Beihai Park. I also introduced it in my travel notes. That one is a double-sided Nine Dragon Wall. The Nine Dragon Wall is a type of screen wall, which is a wall used to block the view in traditional Han architecture. The Forbidden City is located outside the Huangji Gate in the Ningshou Palace area of ​​the Forbidden City. The wall is 29.4m long, 3.5m high and 0.45m thick. It is a single-sided glazed screen wall built against the palace wall. It was fired when the Ningshou Palace was rebuilt in the 37th year of Emperor Qianlong (1772). The upper part of the wall is a yellow glazed tile hip roof, and under the eaves are imitation wood structure rafters, purlins and brackets. The wall is based on clouds and water, and is decorated in blue and green, which sets off the majestic momentum of the connection between water and sky. The lower part is a white marble Xumi pedestal, which is dignified and solemn. The 9 dragons on the wall are made in high relief, and the highest part is 20cm higher than the wall, forming a strong three-dimensional sense. The cliff rocks running through the center of the wall separate the nine coiled dragons into five spaces. The yellow dragon is in the middle, with its front claws in an embrace and its back claws digging out the sea water. Its body is curved, holding the flame orb under its head, with its eyes wide open and its jaws raised, looking majestic. There are two blue and white dragons on each side, the white one is the ascending dragon and the blue one is the descending dragon. The two dragons on the left are facing each other; the two dragons on the right are facing each other, and the four dragons are chasing the flame orb, moving their spirits and bodies, as if they want to break through the wall. There are two dragons on the outside, one yellow and one purple. The yellow dragon on the left has its chest and neck stretched out, its upper claws spread to the left and right, and its lower limbs protruding forward and extending backward; the purple dragon presses down with its left claw and raises its right claw, and its tail swings forward. The two dragons are full of movement, and the momentum of the competition is vivid. The yellow dragon on the right has a bent body and a crossed back, and its leaping and moving posture is vividly depicted with a well-balanced posture; the purple dragon holds its head high and draws in its abdomen, striking the waves with its front paws, and its posture is vigorous and powerful. It fully demonstrates the wisdom and artistic talent of the ancient Han working people.

The exquisite Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City was believed to have been created by the top craftsmen at that time. Recalling what the taxi driver said the day before yesterday, the skilled craftsmen at that time were able to create such exquisite and beautiful crafts not only because of their good skills, but more because of the pressure. If they did not do well, they might be beheaded or even their entire family would be executed. Where does the pressure come from for today's craftsmen? They just do it for money or they have not reached the level of truly loving this art, so people still have to force themselves.

There are three places with Nine Dragon Walls in Beijing, one of which is in the Forbidden City. The dragons are lifelike.

I went here when I was very young, and it was also introduced in the textbooks. It is a very interesting place.

I went to the Forbidden City twice but couldn't find it. It turned out to be located in the Pearl Museum exhibition, which charges 10 yuan per person. It is one of the three Nine Dragon Walls in China. I think it is great.

I went to look for the place with different colors, and there was indeed a place with a missing piece.

The Nine Dragon Wall is quite spectacular. I have always seen it in TV dramas before, but I didn’t know what it was called.

The Nine Dragon Wall on the south side of the Huangji Hall in the Forbidden City was built in the 38th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign. It is a tall glazed screen wall with a length of 20.40 meters and a height of 3.50 meters. The screen wall is decorated with nine giant dragons, each playing with a precious pearl; the background is mountains, rocks, clouds and sea water. The nine dragons on the Nine Dragon Wall are divided into the main dragon, the ascending dragon and the descending dragon. Each dragon has a different expression, leaping in the auspicious clouds, with its scales shining and lifelike. In fact, there are more than nine dragons on the Nine Dragon Wall. In addition to the nine dragons on the front, the patterns on the main ridge and the ridge are also dragons, but the number is no less than nine and five. Standing in front of the Nine Dragon Wall, if you really appreciate the cultural and artistic weight of this screen wall, perhaps your inner shock is no less than the feeling of climbing the Great Wall.

This is my favorite place I have ever been to, the dragons are very well painted.

Well, I had heard of the Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City, but it was not a tourist attraction that I had to visit. I bought the ticket to the Treasure House and was excitedly walking towards the palace in the exhibition hall of the Treasure House when the automatic voice guide that had been silent for a long time suddenly started to play the introduction (⊙﹏⊙)b I turned around and looked at the Nine Dragon Wall. According to the voice introduction, it turned out that the Nine Dragon Wall was really awesome! What is the only one or the only two? It makes sense when you think about it. The palace facing it seems to be the residence of Emperor Qianlong when he retired and became the Supreme King. The specifications must be high. But the most interesting thing is of course the introduction of the white dragon. It is said that one section of the belly of the white dragon is not made of enamel like the others, but is carved out of a piece of wood, "simulated" (*@ο@*) Wow~ Then after decades of wind and rain, the prototype was finally revealed, and another good show of "masters among the people" was born. However, since it is a story that only came out after the exposure, the credibility is basically just listening. However, I guess that under the system of collective punishment in feudal society, no one would dare to do something like deceiving the emperor, because there would be retribution later, and it could also implicate future generations. So I guess this should have been done with the permission or acquiescence of the top leaders.

It is actually a mural. It is said that there is a free

The Nine Dragon Screen is a type of screen wall, a wall used to block vision in traditional Han architecture. It is located outside the Huangji Gate in the Ningshou Palace area of ​​the Forbidden City. The wall is 29.4 meters long, 3.5 meters high, and 0.45 meters thick. It is a single-sided glazed screen wall built against the palace wall. It was built when the Ningshou Palace was rebuilt in the 37th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1772).

The upper part of the wall is a yellow glazed tile hip roof, and under the eaves are rafters, purlins, and brackets that imitate wooden structures. The wall is decorated with clouds and water in blue and green, which highlights the majestic momentum of the connection between water and sky. The lower part is a white marble Xumi pedestal, which is dignified and solemn. The 9 dragons on the wall are made in high relief, and the highest part is 20cm higher than the wall, forming a strong three-dimensional sense. The cliff rocks running through the center of the wall separate the 9 dragons into 5 spaces. The yellow dragon is in the middle, with its front paws in an embrace and its back paws digging up the sea water. The dragon's body is curved, holding the flame orb under its head, staring and chinning, majestic and awe-inspiring. There are two blue and white dragons on each side, the white one is the ascending dragon, and the blue one is the descending dragon. The two dragons on the left face each other; the two dragons on the right face each other, and the four dragons chase the flame orb, moving their spirits and bodies, as if they want to break through the wall. There are two dragons on the outside, one yellow and one purple. The yellow dragon on the left has its chest puffed out and its neck shrunk, its upper claws spread out to the left and right, and its lower limbs protruding forward and stretching backward; the purple dragon has its left claw pressed down, its right claw raised, and its tail swung forward. The two dragons are full of movement, and the fighting is vivid. The yellow dragon on the right has its body bent and its back stretched out, and its body is vividly depicted in its leaps and bounds; the purple dragon has its head held high and its abdomen tucked in, its front claws hitting the waves, and its posture is vigorous, which fully demonstrates the wisdom and artistic talent of the ancient Han working people.

Among the positive numbers, nine is the extreme number, and five is in the middle. The "Nine-Five" system is an important manifestation of the emperor's dignity. The design of the entire screen wall not only divides the "Nine Dragons" into five spaces, but also decorates the top ridge with nine dragons, with a sitting dragon in the center and four dragons on each side. The ridges at both ends are different from other hip roofs. They are not decorated with animals, but with dragons running directly to the eaves. Nine-five 45 dragon-patterned brackets are used between the brackets under the eaves, so that the entire building contains multiple numbers of nine-five in different ways. In addition, the wall surface of the Nine-Dragon Wall has a total of 270 plastic blocks, which is also a multiple of nine-five. In order not to damage the dragon's head, the blocks are divided very carefully.

Sometimes imperfections are what make things special.

You have to buy a ticket to see it right at the entrance of the Treasure House. There are slightly fewer tourists than outside. The nine lifelike dragons in various shapes are still worth a look.

Nine Dragon Wall, I don’t remember clearly what the nine dragons represent because it has such a long history, but we have made an appointment to go there again if it snows.

The nine dragons are actually like a rainbow, which is indeed impressive!

The Nine Dragon Screen in the Forbidden City is located not far from the entrance of the Treasure House. Tickets to the Treasure House cost 10 yuan. As the name suggests, the Nine Dragon Screen has 9 dragons. The yellow dragon is in the middle, and there are two blue and white dragons on each side. The white one is the ascending dragon, and the blue one is the descending dragon. There are two dragons on the outside, one yellow and one purple. The materials used in the Nine Dragon Screen are exquisite. I heard that the colored glaze blocks used for each dragon are made together. If there is a mistake in one of the blocks, all the blocks have to be remade. However, due to the craftsmen, the third white dragon from left to right in the Nine Dragon Screen is not made of colored glaze, but of colored wood blocks. However, due to long-term wind and rain, the color on the outside gradually faded, revealing the original color of the wood blocks. So if you have the opportunity to go, you should see it with your own eyes.

The Nine Dragon Screen is located outside the Huangji Gate in the Ningshou Palace area of ​​the Forbidden City. The wall is 29.4 meters long, 3.5 meters high and 0.45 meters thick.

The yellow dragon on the right is bent and its back is stretched and stretched in moderation, and its body is vividly depicted in its leaps and bounds; the purple dragon holds its head high and its abdomen contracted, its front claws hitting the waves, and its posture is vigorous.

Even today, the craftsmanship and artistry of that time are still amazing.

After entering the Treasure House of the Forbidden City, the Nine Dragon Screen suddenly appeared in front of me. The Nine Dragon Screen is brightly colored, and each dragon has a different shape and is lifelike. Due to the huge size of the Nine Dragon Screen, it is impossible to take a photo of it from the front, so I can only take a photo from the side or take photos of each dragon separately. I heard that there are two Nine Dragon Screens, and the other one is in Beihai Park, which is more exquisitely carved than this one. I haven't been to Beihai Park, so I can't compare it, but this screen has already amazed me.

The Nine Dragon Wall is mainly carved with nine dragons, each of which is lifelike and wonderful. The carvings are very exquisite. It is worth a visit.

The Nine Dragon Wall is 29.4 meters long, 3.5 meters high and 0.45 meters thick. It is a single-sided glazed screen wall built against the palace wall. It was built when the Ningshou Palace was rebuilt in the 37th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign.

The Nine Dragon Wall is a symbol of the emperor, but is it necessary to introduce it separately? Is there anyone who has never been to this place when visiting the Forbidden City?

Please forgive me for not having a panoramic function on my phone back then%>_<% This is also often seen in TV dramas. The emperor often tells the eunuchs in front of this: what happened to such and such minister; what happened to such and such place. Haha, after watching too many TV dramas, this Nine Dragon Wall is really long and worth a visit

Nine dragons of different shapes are carved on a wall.

Located at the entrance of Ningshou Palace in the Forbidden City, it is one of the three existing Nine Dragon Walls along with the Nine Dragon Walls in Beihai Park and Chengde Mountain Resort. It has a very high cultural relic and artistic value.

I like this very much. It is in the Treasure House. It is worth going to the Treasure House.

There is a large colorful screen wall carved with nine dragons. You can take a panoramic photo when no one is around. If you look closely, you will see a spot of paint on one of the white dragons that is a different color from other parts.

A must-see attraction in Beihai Park, magnificent and well-made, ancient craftsmen are invincible

The Nine Dragon Wall is in the Treasure House. You can only enter and see it if you buy a ticket to the Treasure House. It costs 10 yuan per ticket. It is said that there are only three places with the Nine Dragon Wall, one in the Forbidden City, one in Beihai, and one in Datong, Shanxi. They are collectively known as the "Three Major Walls in China". The main body of the Nine Dragon Wall has nine dragons. There are five ridges on the roof of the hall, and there are nine swimming dragons on the middle ridge. The reason why the number nine is used is because nine is the highest number of yang numbers, and five is the middle number of yang numbers. The number nine-five has become a representation of imperial power and the dignity of the emperor.

The upper part of the wall is a yellow glazed tile hip roof, and under the eaves are rafters, purlins, and brackets that imitate wooden structures.

The Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City in Beijing is located outside the Huangji Gate of the Ningshou Palace in the Forbidden City. The Nine Dragon Wall is the same building as the folk screen wall, but the royal family is more particular about the art of modeling. The Nine Dragon Wall is located on a white marble pedestal, with a yellow glazed tile hip roof and a single flying eaves with imitation wood structure rafters, purlins and brackets. Blue and green cloud and water patterns are at the bottom of the screen wall, and nine relief coiled dragons are playing with flames and gems. The yellow dragon is in the middle, and the left and right sides are blue, white, purple and yellow from the inside to the outside, respectively, with different expressions and vivid.

It is still very spectacular from a distance, and each dragon has a different shape.

The Nine Dragon Wall in the Forbidden City is said to have a piece made of wood. It is indeed true. Now its original shape has been revealed, haha~

In the Treasure House, the ticket is 10 yuan, there is no student ticket, you can see it directly after entering, it is worth a visit~~~~

The first thing that came to my mind when I came here was the story of Kowloon fighting for the throne. Since it has been traveled through time several times ("Palace" and "Startling by Each Step", etc.), I paid attention to it.

(Miss Xu's 6-day trip to the capital) Very beautiful buildings, well preserved and complete. Maybe with the baptism of time, the colors are not as bright as before, but overall it is still very good. Thanks to the proper protection of national cultural relics.

Even if it is not the only one in China, it is the largest Nine Dragon Screen Wall. It is a very good treasure, but it is far inferior to other treasures.

The Nine Dragon Wall, which was built during the reconstruction of Ningshou Palace during the Qianlong period, is located outside the Huangji Gate in the Ningshou Palace area. It is a single-sided glazed screen wall built with its back against the palace wall.
