Wonders of architecture
Monday again, let it be filled with good thoughts and deeds. Smile more often and bring joy to people! And we continue to acquaint you with the wonders of architecture.
Forbidden City in Beijing
The Forbidden City, the green heart of China’s capital, symbolizes the wealth and innovation of the Ming Dynasty. Built in the 15th century towards the north, as an earthly image of the heavenly Purple Palace, that is, the Pole Star – to be a worthy home for the Heavenly Emperor. In ancient times in China, it was believed that the emperor was the son of Heaven, therefore, the supreme (heavenly) power was bestowed on him. Heaven was considered the North Star, the only one that shone motionless in the northern sky.
The Forbidden City is planned in such a way that it points its visitors directly to Heaven, it was considered a divine place, and ordinary people were strictly prohibited from entering its territory. That is why the palace was called “forbidden”. It was the home of the Chinese emperors for over 600 years, and the entrance to the complex was only granted with the permission of the emperor.
Currently known as the Palace Museum, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is believed to be the largest palace in the world, covering an area of over 72 hectares.
Angkor Wat in Cambodia
The temple in the depths of the Cambodian jungle, the architecture seen through the thickets of the Siem Reap forest, the moats surrounding the temple, symbolizing the ocean and mountain structures praising the gods – such a view is breathtaking.
The Angkor Wat temple complex symbolizes the universe, and its five towers in the shape of lotus buds symbolically represent the heavenly abode of the gods – Mount Meru with its five peaks. It is the largest Hindu temple in the world, built at the beginning of the 12th century by King Suroyavarman II, and is often called the “eighth wonder of the world.” The silhouette of Angkor Wat is the national symbol of Cambodia, adorns the flag and coat of arms of the state.
