The central axis of Beijing turned out to be crooked, did the construction deviation or intentional?

Science Fiction Network September 14th (Qin Yingying) Chinese architecture has been sitting north and south since ancient times. The central axis of Beijing is from the North and Nander to the Forbidden City and connects multiple iconic buildings in series, known as the "city spine". The central axis of Beijing is an extremely rare architectural art axis in the history of the world. However, after survey, this line is not Zhengnan, but it is deviated from the meridian.

The meridian, also known as the "sub -meridian", is an arc connecting the south and north poles on the surface of the earth, and perpendicular to the equator. The meridian and weft lines are the auxiliary lines that humans are convenient to measure, and are defined as semicircular connecting the north and south poles on the surface of the earth instrument and perpendicular to the weft line.

However, the central axis of Beijing was obliquely obliquely in the direction of the counterclockwise. After the actual measurement and calculation of the three points of the three points of Yongdingmen, Di'anmen, and Zhonglou, it was found that the central axis and the meridian had a two -degree or tens.

The central axis occupies an extremely important position in the history of human development. The establishment of the country in the dynasty was established. The position of establishing the central axis was the most important project. For the central axis, ergonomics believe that the universe, the earth, human beings, and society all have their own "axis". It is the key to controlling the development of things. After finding this axis heart, it has mastered the keys to reveal the secrets of all things.

The pattern of Beijing City is based on the establishment of the central axis. The middle axis from Beijing starts from Yongding Gate in the south, and passes north through Zhengyangmen, Forbidden City, Jingshan, Bell Tower, and Drum Tower. The length is about 7.8 kilometers. With the Forbidden City as the center, it became the main line connecting North and South City at that time.

In fact, the central axis of Beijing was crooked from the Yuan Dynasty when the Yuan Dynasty was built. The two generations of the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and the Gongtan, which were subsequently built on the central axis, were based on the central axis of the Yuan Dynasty. The reasons for the direction of Beijing's central axis slightly shifted northwest.

The first statement is the so -called "unique general". According to the "Analysis of Jinzhi" in the Xu family of Xu's casting, the direction of the Yuan Dynasty defined by Liu Bingzhong is based on a tree in the south of the third bridge outside the Yuan Dynasty and the third bridge outside Lizhengmen as the two coordinate points. Draw a line between these two points and extend. And this is also the origin of Beijing's central axis.

The second statement is that there are more than one capital in the Yuan Dynasty. In addition to the capital in the south of Yanshan -the capital, there is still one in the north of Yanshan. Yuan Shangdu site is located in the Zhenglan Banner of Xilingule League in Inner Mongolia today, in a position west of Beijing Zhengbei. If the Beijing central axis extends 270 kilometers north, it can be basically connected to Yuan Shang. However, there are still certain errors, and the distance between the two is more than 5 kilometers.

The third statement is that the central axis of Yuan Dadu was originally pointed at Zhengnan and north, but it encountered problems during actual construction. The middle section of the central axis is on the water surface of the Jishui Pond, and the building cannot be covered. Therefore, the construction operator adopted the authority of the southern section of the central axis and the west of the north section.

After the development of the past, the magnificent large building complex consisting of 43 ancient buildings on the central axis of Beijing today. This has also become a major feature of the Beijing building group. Now, even if the Beijing urban area is far greater than ancient times, the central axis is still visible to the naked eye.
