This new landmark in Hong Kong invited 914 Palace Museum, envy!

To say that in the second half of 2022, the most "luxurious" cultural event, the opening of the "Hong Kong Palace" was the first.

However, although it is called the "Hong Kong Forbidden City", people belong to the cooperation project of the West Kowloon Cultural Administration and the Palace Museum, so strictly speaking, it is not the "Hong Kong Branch of the Forbidden City" that everyone thinks.

The Hong Kong Palace Museum is located on the bank of Victoria Harbor. The venue covers an area of ​​130,000 square meters and a construction area of ​​30,000 square meters. The entire construction has gone through 5 years before and after the construction, which consumes 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

For this opening exhibition, the Palace Museum has formed 7 bidding groups. Since 2018, it has carefully selected various exhibits from the millions of cultural relics collected from the museum.

In the end, 914 precious cultural relics were selected, including 166 national treasure -level first -class cultural relics, which can be called the largest borrowing of the Palace Museum in 1925.

The "Luo Shen Fu Tu", "The first volume of Luo Shen Fu" was identified by Qianlong's "Luo Shen Fu", the "Luo Shen Fu Tu" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the "Tang Yu Shi Nan Xingshu Lan Ting Preface Paper", Wang Xizhi's "After the Rain Post" Song Yingben, Song Huizong " The real traces of the Xuejiang River Return, Ru Kiln Light Sky Glaze Wash ...

Many national treasures. Before the Forbidden City, the Forbidden City never even exhibited it, and after this exhibition, I would like to return to the warehouse to "sleep" for many years. It belongs to the "missing this time, and I will never see it in my life."

The high level of Hong Kong's opening exhibition in the Forbidden City also directly pushed cultural relic premiums to "the world's best", so that no insurance company in the world dares to independently undertake this sky -high policy.

How hot is the Hong Kong Palace Museum?

Just say that, on the day of the opening of the museum, 40,000 tickets will be empty, and the tickets at the end of August, you have to get a number in line, the type of more than 10,000 ...

1. Victoria Harbor has a "Chinese Ding Ding"

As the inheritance and continuation of the Forbidden City culture, the biggest feature of the Hong Kong Palace Museum of Culture is first reflected in the beauty of its form.

The design language draws on the design inspiration of the architecture and collections of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and successfully combines ancient, today, and local culture.

It is the most Chinese -flavored new cultural landmark in Hong Kong.

The designer behind it, Mr. Yan Xunqi is a well -known architectural designer in Hong Kong. He has participated in the Paris Opera House to openly design competitions and has become one of the three champions.

His masterpieces, the Yunnan Museum, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, etc., are representative modern style buildings in China.

Hong Kong Convention Center

The design prototype of the Hong Kong Forbidden City Cultural Museum is based on a square block, and refers to the ancient Chinese utensils "Fang Ding", which is exquisite and elegant, simple lines, smooth shapes, gathered up and down, and the top of the top. The overall style is together in ancient China. The essence of artistic relics.

Although it is a modern architecture, it gives people a unique cultural connotation and grace of ancient Chinese architecture in design concepts.

The Architecture of the Forbidden City of Hong Kong has also inherited the traditional Chinese culture, based on the main color of the Forbidden City building -gold and Zhu Hong as the tone.

For example, the entrance of the museum's main entrance and the entrance of each exhibition hall uses a typical vermilion, which echoes the Beijing Forbidden City.

The door nail decoration design also refers to the door of the Forbidden City. Each door is decorated with 81 silver nails with nine or nine distributions, and 10 doors are equipped with 810 nails. It is justified with the meaning of "nine nine concentric hearts" of Chinese traditional culture.

In order to echo the "glazed tile" of the Forbidden City of Beijing, the exterior wall of the Hong Kong Forbidden City has made a texture effect.

At the same time, the Forbidden City of Hong Kong also uses the surface of aluminum plates, glass curtain walls, and natural gradient iron decorative panels, in order to better fit the visual elements of the Golden Wall of the Palace Museum in Beijing.

The facade consists of more than 4,000 curved aluminum plates. It seems the same, but the size of each aluminum plate is very different. Not only the size and arc of each piece of aluminum plate are different, but the arc on the same piece of aluminum plate is also diverse.

The ceiling of the atrium is also a must. The designer interprets the glazed tiles on the roof of the Forbidden City with modern methods. From a distance, it is like a bamboo curtain covering the roof, and it is like a light yarn. It is simple and elegant, dreamy and elegant.

Another highlight of the design is that the core idea of ​​the Forbidden City architecture in the space -the concept of the central axis is responding to the space of the Forbidden City.

The design team designed three atrium spaces for different orientation on the ground, the second and fourth floors. Referring to the progressive layout of the axis space in the middle of the Forbidden City, the layers of the progress of the entire building are progressing and leading visitors to visit the upper floor.

The three atriums are connected to the outdoor space, allowing the audience to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the West Jiujiu Cultural District, the Hong Kong Island, and the beautiful scenery of Lantau in addition to enjoying cultural relics exhibits.

The Hong Kong Forbidden City has established a "Forbidden City" with its own history, culture, and background from the various details of the architectural design.

2. The national treasure treasures you have only seen in textbooks

The opening of the Hong Kong Cultural Museum showed more than 900 precious cultural relics from the Palace Museum. Many of them were publicly displayed in Hong Kong for the first time. Some collections have never been exhibited publicly.

For example, "Lanting Preface", known as the "First Line of the World", this time is the copy of Tang Da's calligraphy, Yu Shinan, and the "Book of Lanting Pavilion".

The national first -class cultural relics "Luo Shen Fu Tu" was originally written by Gu Kaizhi, a big painter in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, based on Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu", but quickly lost.

Although it is a copy, it is also quite precious. Qianlong is designated as the "first volume of Luo Shen Fu", which is treasured in the royal study. Even in the Forbidden City of Beijing, it rarely exhibits external exhibitions.

3. Today, what should we think of the "Forbidden City"?

From the Royal Palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the World Cultural Heritage of all human beings, the ancient Forbidden City has spanned 600 years.

From the palace to the people's "museum", how should we see the Forbidden City today?

From the vice president of the Palace Museum in 2003, and returning to the retirement, Li Wenru in the book "Six hundred years of the Forbidden City" believes that the biggest value of the Palace Museum for today is: with modern rationality, to understand this imperial power and emperor system Fresh specimens must have the correct interpretation of traditional culture and the leading values.

"It should be placed on the Forbidden City more on the scientific value, artistic value, and aesthetic value." He said.

The Forbidden City leaves people's beauty of unparalleled oriental architecture. Its location, layout, shape, coloring, high and low, dense coordination, wide and narrow, and showing people's unspeakable beauty in the changes of light and shadow.

This beauty belongs to everyone who sees and think of it today and in the future. Every corner is the real craftsmanship.

From Yongdingmen in the south, the bell and drum tower in the north, the middle axis passes through the purple ban, about eight kilometers long. Since ancient times, it is known as the "axis of the emperor". Six hundred years ago, with the determination of the central axis, the Forbidden City was born.

This palace city representing the high art level of ancient Chinese buildings, six hundred years later, is still the world's largest wooden structured palace building complex in the world.In the past, only a few people such as the emperor could enter the Taihe Hall along the central axis; now, tourists can also enter the Forbidden City along the central axis.However, not everyone knows the axis structure of the Forbidden City.The most important buildings in the Forbidden City are on the central axis. Without the central axis, the Forbidden City loses the soul. No matter how orderly and smooth the building shop is, there will be no shocking orgasm.

The central axis is not only the time and space positioning of the construction of ancient cities in ancient China, but also the concept of continuous extension.It runs through the vast land, rivers and rivers, and runs through time and space.Its planning and layout coincide with "heaven and human induction".

"The greatness and strength of the Forbidden City is reflected in its long -lasting vitality."
