Every night unless, good dreams stay sleep.

The moon tower stands alone.

——Wang Guowei's Lin Jiang Xian: where is Shaohua

Vermilion,

Between red and orange,

It symbolizes wealth,

One door, one window, one palace wall,

It's the beauty of time,

Elegant and luxurious.

Those who echo the red wall and the red gate,

It was the red glaze of the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty,

It is one of the treasures of the Forbidden City,

Red is dazzling, beauty is dazzling.

After the loss of red glaze in Ming Dynasty,

So all the existing treasures are treasures,

It symbolizes the glory of that era.

It is autumn, and the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden are about to bloom.

The red chrysanthemums are gorgeous and full of atmosphere,

Flowing with the inherent modesty and introversion,

Only for a moment, then drunk people's eyes.

Dressed in the color of the Forbidden City,

With graceful and graceful posture,

Floating clouds cover the sun and never return. The autumn wind destroys the purple orchid.

——Li Xiucai's reply to Du song

The book of changes says: "the sky is dark and the earth is yellow.".

Confucius said, "the Yellow Emperor allocated the soil,

The king of virtue is in the world, and his color is still yellow. "

Yellow symbolizes monarchy,

Bright yellow is the color of emperors,

As bright as the sun, it is insurmountable.

In the past, yellow was the only popular color in the Forbidden City.

From the plates and vases placed in the palace,

The dragon's and Phoenix's clothes worn by the royal family,

They are all bright yellow.

Now, yellow is no longer exclusive to some people,

And when it's dark,

To create a beautiful mood.

In late autumn, the Ginkgo biloba in the Forbidden City turned yellow,

The Palace Museum seems to be shrouded in golden sunshine,

For the cold and cold season,

Bring some warm comfort and hope.

I don't know when the Ginkgo biloba will turn yellow this year?

It's not as gorgeous as yellow,

It's not white,

It has a touch of warmth, a trace of hazy,

Maybe it didn't exist here,

After hundreds of years of wind and frost,

Some bright white marble railings

And the Xuan paper on the scroll slowly turns yellow,

It's becoming more and more traditional.

It is the color of the years that fascinates.

Return to nature.

The snow in the Forbidden City every winter,

White is always clean, white deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Give us a jade city.

After the snow in winter and spring,

And nourish the jade orchid and pear flower,

A gust of wind blows,

Like the rain of flowers.

Besides the natural beauty,

There is also a precious white in the Palace Museum,

Turquoise blue, attractive.

It comes from the Palace Museum's collection of jadeite crafts.

This process is very complicated,

First, the base plate was made of gold and silver pieces,

And then they drew patterns of gold and silver,

Then carefully paste kingfisher feathers.

Hand in hand with green silk, hairpin flowers add beauty,

Condense time, show originality.

A touch of intoxicating feather blue,

Amazing time

Because of the damage to kingfisher,

The most traditional Diancui has been lost.

No matter how beautiful the process is,

How high is the artistic value,

It can never be compared with life.
