Chapter 530: Stone base for the banner with carved cloud and dragon patterns, Zhenwu seven-star banner!

It turned out that while Huang Bingbing was taking photos of Zhang Yang and the others, Xiaohua, who was feeling bored, was attracted by a square stone sculpture next to her.

Everyone was attracted by Xiaohua’s voice and walked over. They saw that the stone seat was all white, and there were very delicate double dragons playing in the water carved on all four sides.

Huang Bingbing looked at Xiaohua in confusion and asked,”Xiaohua, this kind of dragon pattern is not very common in the palace. What’s so strange about it?”

There is indeed nothing wrong with this statement. The most abundant thing in the Forbidden City is various dragon patterns.

Whether it is the cloud dragon stone sculpture in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, or the glazed nine-dragon wall outside the Huangji Gate. They are many times more beautiful than this small stone seat.

“No, look down there, there are many different patterns, fish, shrimp, and even seahorses!”Xiaohua pointed at the pattern on the bottom of the stone base and shouted.

Everyone looked down and saw that the bottom of the stone base was completely different from the other stone carvings.

There were waves carved around it, turtles, fish, crabs, and shrimps carved in the four corners of the water vortex, and there were also walruses, flying dragon fish, seahorses, sirens, and other underwater creatures of various shapes.

The statues above are all exquisite and lifelike, making people feel like they are walking into the ocean world, with waves crashing and countless sea beasts passing through.

“Wow, it’s true. There are so many different patterns on this stone pedestal,” Bai Lu and Huang Bingbing were amazed!

This was the first time they saw such strange reliefs in the entire Forbidden City. Other reliefs were either dragons or other mythical beasts, and it was the first time they saw the ocean world in front of them.

Shan Jixiang walked up to them with a smile:”Haha! This is called the stone pedestal with carved cloud and dragon patterns and banners. The Qin’an Hall enshrines the Northern God Zhenwu Emperor, who is in charge of water. These patterns are just right for this.”

“In the 600 years since the Forbidden City was built, it has suffered from fires of varying sizes forty or fifty times, according to records, but the Qin’an Hall has survived every time. It is said that this may be the appearance of the Zhenwu Emperor who is in charge of this place, who has protected the Qin’an Hall.”

Everyone nodded in sudden enlightenment! Sure enough, every detail of the Forbidden City has a significant meaning.

Zhang Yang saw a bowl-sized hole on the stone base, and he couldn’t help but ask curiously:”This stone base should be used to hold something, right?”

“Haha! Not bad, good eyesight!” Shan Jixiang laughed, and said,”There is a seven-star flag on this stone base, but before talking about this flag, I have to talk about this flagpole in particular.” Zhang Yang and others’ eyes lit up when they heard it, knowing that there was another story to listen to.

Especially Xiaohua was unusually happy, she loved listening to Grandpa Shan telling stories the most!

The barrage in the live broadcast room immediately decreased a lot.

There may even be quite a few viewers who will take out pens and paper.

Shan Jixiang coughed lightly and said:”During the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, a flagpole with a seven-star flag was inserted in the cave of the stone base with carved cloud dragon patterns. This flagpole is 31 meters high, and the fluttering seven-star flag can be seen even outside the palace wall.”

“However, during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, the flagpole had decayed and needed to be replaced with new wood. The wood used for the flagpole was very particular, and it had to be tall, round, and straight, and it had to be naturally grown from a mast tree that was not cracked, rotten, or worm-eaten, and had few knots. Emperor Qianlong searched for ten years before he found the right wood for the new seven-star flagpole.”

“Unfortunately, in modern times, the flagpole of the original seven-star flag was damaged again, and even few images and photos have been passed down. It is impossible to see the original appearance of the seven-star flag again!”

“However, in the program I filmed at the Forbidden City, many scholars have used digital technology to restore the seven-star flag after a large amount of historical research. It may look like this!”

The tone was full of regret!

For a moment, Zhang Yang and others didn’t know how to comfort Shan Jixiang.

【Alas! China’s ancient history is so brilliant, and much of it has been lost in the long river of history. Historical and cultural figures like Mr. Shan deserve my respect!】

【Tsk tsk! This flagpole has to be 31 meters high, and a tree as big as a bowl has to grow naturally. What kind of flag is this? The specifications are so high!】

【I don’t know about this seven-star flag, but there is a black seven-star flag in my village. It can only be opened once a year when traveling, and each time it can only be opened for one minute. It is usually rolled up.】

【Holy crap! This is amazing! How come I have never seen this seven-star flag before?】

【The Seven-Star Flag is the flag used by the Northern Water God Zhenwu Emperor when he goes on tour. The seven black stars are open, symbolizing killing. The weak and old should stay away from it. It subdues demons and kills monsters, sweeping away all evil in the world!】

【Holy shit!! If it’s so awesome, how can it be opened? How can the flag be flying in the Forbidden City?】

【Haha! What is the Forbidden City? It is where the ruler of the world lives. As long as you can suppress the seven-star flag, you can open it!】

【Holy crap! I definitely learned something new here, and I’m looking forward to Mr. Shan’s show even more! I want to see what this 31-meter-high seven-star flag looks like?】

【Same for me! 】*10086
