 Middle Road, back-to-bed district, nangshou Palace

 Health care
The health care door is located in the center of the ningshou palace district. It is the palace door in the back of the ningshou Palace area. The north of the Health Care door is the back-to-bed Palace, such as the nursing Hall, leshou Hall, Yi and Xuan, become the central axis of the former sleeping area of nangshou Palace. The east side of yangxingmen square is the courtyard where the playroom is played in the background of changyin pavilion. to the west of the square, you can enter the Qianlong garden area from Yanqi gate.

 Nursing Hall
In the north of the ningshou Palace, the nursing temple was built under the imitation of the nursing Hall regulation in the year of the Qing Dynasty Qianlong (1776). It is the living Palace of the taishang emperor built by the Emperor Qianlong. "Nurturing" comes from "Mencius", where the mind is maintained with the intent of God.

Emperor Qianlong was ready to use this place as his home after returning to the Government. Therefore, the whole architectural pattern and style were modeled on the home Hall of West Road. But I did not actually live in the past. I only sent a banquet to Minister Wang. In the late Qing dynasty, when the Empress Dowager of Cixi lived in the happy life hall, they had a meal at the East warm pavilion. Emperor Guangxu lived here and met the Foreign Minister's wife with the Empress Dowager Cixi.

 Zhenbao Pavilion
The nursing Hall is now set up as the exhibition hall of the treasure Hall.

 Golden editor Zhong and Jasper
The Golden Bell and Jasper q ì ng on display here are two kinds of instrument used to play music, called the "Golden Bell ". Golden clock, a total of 16 pieces, total weight more than 850. From the appearance, the shape and size are consistent, but the wall thickness of each bell is different, so the weight of each Bell varies, some weigh more than 900, and some weigh more than 300. Why is the weight so bad? Because the scale of the clock is controlled by the thickness of the clock wall, so that the clock can play crisp music. Next to the Golden Bell is the Jasper, which has 12 pieces in total, all of which are made of the Jasper mined in hetian, Xinjiang. The inscription written by Emperor Qianlong is also engraved on it.

 Leshou Tang
Leshou Tang is located in the middle road of ningshou palace district, behind the nursing Hall. In the S of the Qing Dynasty Qianlong Dynasty (1776), it was constructed based on the Chunhua Xuan regulation of the Changchun garden. Emperor Qianlong was ready to serve as the place where he studied after returning to Government, but it is not actually used. Happy Life means happy life.

In-hall Decoration, the multi-purpose nancu bag is decorated with valuable wood such as rosewood and Rosewood, and the rooms are decorated with Jade and enamel ornaments. The central area of the indoor north hall is decorated with a great place to control the water and map Yushan, which is the largest jade sculpture hidden in the Palace Museum. The walls of the inner corridor of the external courtyard are embedded with the engraved stone of "Jingsheng Zhai fa Post", which is the ink of Emperor Qianlong's Writing of FA books and classic quotations in jingshengzhai garden. In the late Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager of Cixi lived in this Hall after the 60 s, and the west warm pavilion was the dormitory.

The happy life Hall is now set up as the exhibition hall of the treasure Hall.

 Qingyu dantai Chunxiao Yushan and qingyu Yunlong(This text may be incorrect)
The Chinese jade culture has a long history and has a history of 7000. The Emperors of previous generations went down to a civilian, and none of them liked Jade. Since ancient times, our country has a tradition of "the ancient gentleman must be a gentleman, the gentleman has no reason, and the jade does not go to the body", which has become a symbol of the gentleman's virtue. People like jade, not only because it has the characteristics of crystal clear, it also has the effect of praying for good fortune, Zhen Xie to avoid disaster. While hetian Yu in Xinjiang is the best among all the real estate in China. As early as the Han Dynasty, it has become a national treasure.
One of the two jade carvings placed in the center of the Music Life Hall is in the shape of a mountain called qingyu dantai Chunxiao Yushan ". The opposite is the "qingyu Yunlong" symbol of the sea. In fact, the shape of the sea is very difficult to express, the craftsman will use the jade stone to generate a large volume of water. The sea, the floating clouds, and the dragons are carved around, which shows the image of the sea. These two jade carvings both weigh 3000 or 4000. They are all qingyu extracted from Hotan, Xinjiang, and delivered to Yangzhou for carving. When Cixi passed her life, the person flattering her called the two jade carvings "Shoushan" and "Fuhai", and assumed the meaning of "Fu Ru Donghai, Shou binanshan.

 Dayu water map Yushan

Here, the great YU Zhi Shui tuyu is a huge Yu Shan, carved on it is an ancient and great story-the ancient St. Wang Dayu leads the people to open mountains and conquer the water.

This huge piece of jade is from the Mileta mountains in Xinjiang, thousands of miles away from Beijing. According to experts' estimates, it may take several years from mining to transportation to Beijing, with thousands of resources and resources required. Emperor Qianlong believes that such a rare big Jade material should be used to demonstrate great success. He finally decided to sculpt a tall Yushan Based on the scenes painted by the Song dynasty in his Government.

The heavy Jin and Yi qingyu first made preliminary processing on the four sides of the Court, namely front, back, left and right, and then made the Yushan style with wax, then, they are sent to Yangzhou, Which is carefully crafted by the local yugong. Later, I was afraid that the wax sample could melt and deformation due to the heat of the sky, and I carved another wooden sample and sent it to the past. It took nearly ten years for such an image to be carved. Yushan was finally carved and transported from the waterway back to the Forbidden City in Beijing. In 1787, the huge Yushan was finally placed in the happy life hall, which was built by Emperor Qianlong for himself.

Dayu governance water Yushan quietly placed in the back of the Le Shou Tang, Yushan on the Peak rock towering, ancient wood cangjin, waterfall falls, and clouds rose to the top. The work scenario of rock-opening in groups of three or five in Yushan is dramatic. There are more than a dozen workers working with different equipment, such as the Conference of ancient cutting technology. However, the upper part of Yushan is more romantic. Not only are the elk and ape monkeys running and jumping, but also the elders and servants who are about to climb the peak, and the Gods help the mountains with thunderfire. On the back of Yushan, Emperor Qianlong was engraved with the poems and comments made by the great Yushan.

Dayu governance water map Yushan traveled thousands of miles on the land of China, from cutting, transportation to carving through thousands of craftsman hands, lasted for more than 10 years, traced back a great story of the Chinese Nation thousands of years ago. The emperor used it to boast great achievements and great achievements, but intentionally or unintentionally, on the smooth and gentle qingyu, the exquisite and skillful work scenes seem to have shaped the great soul of an ancient nation's hard work and self-improvement!
