rebirth of change

"Wow, what a huge palace."

"I've been to the Palace of Versailles and Buckingham Palace before, and I thought they were big. Unexpectedly, your Forbidden City is even bigger."

"The Kremlin can't compare, let alone the White House, it's just a bigger villa. In comparison, this is a real palace."

Many of these foreign stars set foot in China for the first time and visited the Forbidden City, and that was the first time for most of them.Therefore, as soon as you step into the Forbidden City, you will be shocked and attracted by its magnificent momentum.

"Fan, that's different. This is the emperor's palace in the feudal era, and it was the emperor's palace of the most powerful country in the world at that time. I have been to the White House, which represents a rising capitalist power. Due to two The different symbols and power structures of the times will naturally lead to differences in the architectural expressions produced by them." Chen Kangjie pointed to Vin Diesel, and then pointed to the palace across the square.

Although the Forbidden City arranged more professional commentators, these big stars who came from foreign countries still prefer to listen to Chen Kangjie's introduction.

Perhaps the explainer's explanation was detailed, but compared to Chen Kangjie, it seemed less vivid.Moreover, being able to communicate and discuss with Chen Kangjie during this process is also a good way to deepen mutual relationship.Moreover, in comparison, the English of the commentators is still not as good as that of Chen Kangjie, they sound a little jerky.

In order to entertain Chen Kangjie and his large group of people, the Forbidden City not only completely closed the entire Forbidden City that can be visited and closed to the outside world, but even allowed Chen Kangjie and his convoy to drive in like they did during the National Day military parade to avoid being harassed by others possible.

Of course, Chen Kangjie and the others were not the only ones who enjoyed this treatment. For those reporters who came to report for this event, 50 people were also given special treatment and arranged to accompany them, allowing them to conduct interviews and reports at close range.

"Long, why don't the government departments of your country use it and continue to work here?" Curtis asked Chen Kangjie.

"Not working here is the biggest use in itself. It has special historical significance for us, and it has also become one of the symbols of our history and culture to a certain extent. Therefore, strictly speaking, it belongs to all Chinese people Of course, it must be contributed to the Chinese people to visit. In addition, as a world historical and cultural heritage, to a certain extent, it should not exclude friends from all over the world who want to understand Chinese culture, just like you, it is equivalent to belonging to the whole world. If our The central government is working here, so for security and other reasons, can it still receive millions of people to visit every year? In addition, here is a symbol of feudal imperial power, and we are a socialist country. If the government symbolizes feudalism Living and working in the palace of the imperialist imperial power will mislead the people. Our senior government officials are not emperors who are above the people and domineering. On the contrary, they are the public servants of the people, and serving the people is their purpose, so naturally You can’t occupy this place. Among the five largest palaces in the world, this is the only place where there are no political activities at present. Even the Palace of Versailles, which has long been a history museum, is still requisitioned by the French president and prime minister from time to time to hold diplomatic activities and hold meetings. International meetings or signing some important agreements. As for Buckingham Palace, it is the Queen’s home, the Kremlin and the White House, where the Supreme Head of State works and lives.” Although Curtis asked the question, Chen Kangjie’s explanation was It is for all of them, which is equivalent to answering a question and explaining to everyone.

"I just heard the lady guide say that there are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine rooms. Is this true?" Winslet asked curiously in surprise.

"Hehe, you may have heard it wrong. What the commentator is telling is a story passed down from generation to generation. Almost all the people in the country believe in the legend that there are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine rooms here, including me before. Because nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine rooms 99 is a special number. In the feudal society of our country, the emperor was called Long Live. In fact, I have learned that, after calculation, there are 99 rooms in the area surrounded by the entire palace wall. The reason This calculation has something to do with the architectural form of this place. At present, this is the largest wooden structure ancient building complex in the world, and almost every room is supported by wooden pillars." Chen Kangjie said with a smile.

"Wow, there are so many. No wonder only the emperor can live in it. Even if he lives in one room a day, the emperor can take turns to live in it for more than [-] years." Tom Hanks said in surprise.

"Haha, that's not the case. The "room" I'm talking about here doesn't refer to the concept of a house. It refers to the space formed by four pillars. In fact, there are regulations on the place where the emperor lives. He can't Live in every place. For example, the place we see now is called the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It is the place where the emperor held court meetings and mainly exercised his imperial power. Elderly people would not live here." Chen Kangjie said.

"Long, then I heard that there is another name here called the Forbidden City. Why is there such a special name?" Xiao Li asked while touching his head.

"This is related to imperial power again. According to the ancient Chinese astrology theory, Ziweiyuan, which is what we now call the North Star, is located in the mid-heaven and is the residence of the emperor of heaven. Our emperor upholds the idea of ​​being ordered by heaven, so he is called the son of heaven. , People corresponded that day, so the Forbidden City is also called the Forbidden City. After the third emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty seized the throne, he decided to move the capital to this city and began to build this palace. It was completed in 18, the 1420th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. In 1911, The Revolution of 1924 overthrew the last feudal monarchy in China - the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor Puyi was expelled from the palace in 24. During the five hundred years before and after, a total of [-] emperors lived here and ruled the whole country." Chen Kangjie He blurted out an eloquent explanation.

Because of Chen Kangjie's presence, the guides in the Forbidden City felt that they were redundant. Not many people were listening to her speech seriously, and Chen Kangjie was all the attention.On the contrary, it seemed that Chen Kangjie was more like a narrator, and what Chen Kangjie explained was not only detailed, but also without any mistakes, which made the narrator very depressed.

But depression is depression, others only like to listen to what Chen Kangjie has to say, and she can't help it.Fortunately, she herself is also one of Chen Kangjie's admirers. It is a happy thing to be able to get in touch with Chen Kangjie so closely today, and to meet so many celebrities and visiting guests.

"Long, I found that this is an excellent place to hold a performance. I am very interested in holding a concert here. Otherwise, the two of us will work together and rent this place to watch an international concert. You see , These palace walls, these palaces, these guardrails, and this wide square in front of the palace, if you choose this place, it will definitely be perfect, are you interested." Michael Jackson's appreciation perspective is completely different from that of other people, he thought The best is to start from your own needs.

Someone proposed to invite Michael Jackson to hold a concert before, and the venue he proposed was Tiananmen Square.Good guy, this time he "made an inch" even more. He actually proposed to sing in the Forbidden City. He was a little too confident.

Of course, it is understandable that Michael Jackson made some personal requirements. Every singer hopes that his performance venue can be perfect and unique.However, asking for it is one thing, but being able to do it is another.

"Hahaha, Michael, you'd better get rid of that kind of thinking. It's impossible. If the government agrees, I will also oppose it. If you want to come to China to perform, I believe everyone will welcome it, but if you choose this place, no one will agree. Here is One of our most important historically protected buildings, the bricks and trees here are absolutely not allowed to be damaged in any way. If you want to perform, you must build a stage, there must be lights and even fireworks, etc., and there will be thousands of Tens of thousands of enthusiastic spectators. Think about it, in that case, can it be 90.00% protected here? Impossible. And even if the construction team can achieve [-]% of the cost, for that One percent of accidents, we are absolutely not willing to take such a risk. Michael, you and I are not good at performing historical dramas, so why are you here? Other than that, you can choose any other venue, you choose How about I help you coordinate the arrangements?" Chen Kangjie's refusal was firm, although he said with a smile, he did not leave any room for flexibility.But on the other hand, Chen Kangjie expressed another friendliness, and he also explained clearly the reasons for his refusal.

"Michael, such a beautiful place is really not suitable for commercial performances." Schwarzenegger's wife Jacqueline advised.

Michael Jackson could only shake his head unwillingly: "It seems that I really chose the wrong place."

After visiting the Forbidden City, Chen Kangjie and his group went to the Great Wall again.

The same treatment, the Great Wall scenic area is also temporarily closed to entertain them.

Standing on the majestic Great Wall, Chen Kangjie not only explained to the guests the poem "If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero", which was left by Taizu and influenced the people of the whole country, he also explained to them in detail the origin and history of the Great Wall and why it happened later. Decline, can not play the role of its original intention of construction.

On the Great Wall, someone jokingly asked Chen Kangjie if he believed that the only earthly structure that can be seen on the International Space Station is the Great Wall.

And Chen Kangjie didn't brag about himself, he didn't believe that the Great Wall could be seen from such a distant outer space.This is usually not made of big light bulbs, so it will not be so dazzling. Besides, a considerable part of the so-called Great Wall has decayed and disappeared in the long river of history.At present, there are actually not many Great Walls that can be preserved in good condition.

To say that the only historical building that can be seen on the International Space Station is the Great Wall is not so much a witty joke as it is the pride and pride of the Chinese people for the Great Wall.With our first astronaut in space two years later, such teasing rumors may no longer appear.
