一提起故宫，很多人想到的只有北京故宫，却不知道在沈阳还有一座故宫。它是清朝最初的皇宫，已经有四百多年的历史。这就是沈阳故宫。
我生在沈阳，长在沈阳。小时候，沈阳故宫就像我的玩伴一样陪伴着我成长，一直到目送我来到遥远的广州读书。记忆中，它红墙绿瓦，庄严肃穆，静谧古朴，一点也不比北京故宫逊色。
再次与这位老朋友相见，已是初一暑假。这次来，我带上了一个任务——要仔细品读它，发现它与众不同的意义。
由大清门进入，沿大门北面的御路拾阶而上，便来到月台。台的正中，就是始建于后金天聪年间的崇政殿。岁月的痕迹并没有减少大殿的庄严感。整个大殿金碧辉煌，走进里面，只见红色的大柱上，缠绕的是腾飞的金龙图案，金龙周围点缀着火焰和云朵；正中央，“正大光明”牌匾熠熠生光，与高大的龙座、腾飞的金龙一道，彰显着皇权的至高无上。游客们不禁啧啧惊叹。
这里就是清朝皇帝入关前办公的地点。
遥想当年，皇太极和他八旗兄弟们在这个大殿里做出了多少个重要的决定；顺治元年，摄政王多尔衮在这个大殿里是怎样代替六岁的福临作出决定，入主中原……历史的车轮滚滚向前，一位又一位伟人就是凭着这一个个的历史建筑，被后人铭记。
继续前进，感受着久违而又熟悉的历史气息，在斑驳的记忆里追寻着我的童年：小时候来沈阳故宫，游客很少，没有小贩；我在里面奔跑，玩乐，欢笑，感觉整个故宫都是我的。多年不见，这里的游客多起来了，小贩也多起来了，古朴的故宫多了不少喧闹的气息。不知怎的，我总觉得不太自在。
不知不觉，我们走到了位于崇政殿后的凤凰楼前。凤凰楼是后宫的门楼，是当年盛京最高的建筑。据说此处是当年皇帝和嫔妃观赏日出之地，因而有“凤楼晓日”的美称。
专注欣赏之际，一阵嘈杂声突然打断了我。楼上，一群穿着皇帝、妃嫔服饰的人们在相互取景拍照，嘻嘻哈哈，随随便便。“打卡”留念后留下了一句“这也没啥好看的，这么小，一点儿意义都没有”，扬长而去。
愤愤地看着他们离去的身影，我不禁思索了起来：历史建筑给人的意义到底是什么？
阳光从翠绿的树叶投下斑斑树影，好似与三年、三十年、三百年前并无两样。看着眼前斑驳的石砖，褪色的红墙，我想：历史就是一段已经逝去的过往，而历史建筑则是它曾经存在的象征。今天，我们参观它，目的是留住那些曾经的美好，记住那些曾经的伤痛。沈阳故宫虽然非常小，但它的价值是无法与其它任何历史建筑比较衡量的。它，永远我们心中的无价之宝！
我，来自沈阳。我为沈阳故宫代言！
沈阳故宫是中国现存的两座古代帝王宫殿之一，也是举世仅存的满族风格宫殿建筑群，具有很高的历史价值、文化价值和艺术价值。2004年，联合国教科文组织正式将沈阳故宫列入《世界遗产名录》。
沈阳故宫位于沈阳老城中心，初建时叫“盛京宫阙”，清迁都北京后又称“陪都宫殿”、“留都宫殿”，并被尊为“国初圣迹”。 它始建于1625年（后金天命十年），基本建成于1636年（崇德元年），是清太祖努尔哈赤和太宗皇太极营造和使用过的宫殿。清世祖福临也在这里继位称帝，改元顺治，并于当年入关，统治全国。清王朝入主中原后，康熙、乾隆、嘉庆、道光等皇帝曾先后10次“东巡”盛京祭祖，都到此“恭瞻”，或驻跸处理朝政和举行盛大庆典，并有所扩建。沈阳故宫是清王朝定鼎中原前在东北地区的统治中心，也是清统一全国后东北地区的政治和经济中心。最后完成于1783年（乾隆48年）。
沈阳故宫占地6万多平方米，全部建筑100余所500多间。按其布局分为三部分，即东路、中路和西路。东路建筑为努尔哈赤时期所建，有浓郁的民族特色；中路建筑主要是皇太极时期所建，曾演绎过许多历史故事；西路建筑建于清乾隆年间，以储藏《四库全书》而闻名。
[东路]
沈阳故宫东路建筑主要包括大政殿和十王亭。从建筑形式上看，它们都是“亭子式”建筑，好像11座“帐殿”依次排列在广阔的广场中。这种建筑形式脱胎于女真民族戎马生涯中的帐殿，是游牧民族“帐殿”制在皇宫建筑上的反映。 大政殿俗称八角殿，又叫“大衙门”、“笃恭殿”。它外高18米，是一座八角重檐攒尖顶“亭子式”建筑。大政殿作为17世纪初的建筑杰作，融汇了满、汉、蒙、藏等多民族建筑的艺术风格，是沈阳故宫最著名的建筑之一。
十王亭又称“八旗亭”，在广场两侧呈八字形排开，每边5个。从北自南，东边分别为左翼王亭，镶黄、正白、镶白、正蓝旗亭；西边为右翼王亭，正黄、正红、镶红、镶蓝旗亭。左右翼王亭是当时左右翼王办公的地方。八旗亭是八旗旗主办公的地方，也是在大政殿举行朝会和典礼时各旗官员集结之处。这种建筑形式是以八旗制度为核心的军政体制在宫殿建筑上的反映。（八旗制度是一种军政合一，兵民一体的政治制度）
[中路]
中路的宫殿，中轴线上由南至北依次是大清门、崇政殿、凤凰楼、清宁宫，两侧还有一些对称式的附属建筑。进入大清门，就进入了中路的第一进院落，东有飞龙阁，西有翔凤阁。它们都是两层，为五间九檩硬山式建筑，里面陈列着乾隆东巡时带到沈阳故宫的乐器。
大清门俗称午门，也是就故宫的正门，为五间硬山式建筑，是当时文武群臣侯朝的地方，也是清太宗皇太极接受群臣谢恩之处。当年，明朝著名将领洪承畴、祖大寿等降清后，就是跪在大清门前谢罪和请降，受到皇太极接见的。
崇政殿原名“正殿”，俗称“金銮殿”，崇德元年定名为“崇政殿”，是沈阳故宫中路最重要的建筑。是清太宗皇太极日常处理军政要务、接见外国使臣和边疆少数民族代表的地方。这里曾发生过许多重大历史事件。1636年（天聪十年），皇太极在这里举行登基大典，改国号为“大清”；1644年（顺治元年）清迁都北京后，历代皇帝东巡驻跸期间都要在这里举行谒陵礼成大典。
崇政殿为五间九檩硬山式建筑，它最有特点的地方是殿顶的黄琉璃瓦带绿剪边，现在殿内陈设的是按照乾隆东巡时的面貌设置的。贴金雕龙扇面大屏风和金龙宝座，是皇权至高无上的象征；
殿外月台上东南角有“日晷”，它是利用太阳的投影和地球自转的原理，借指针所产生的阴影的位置来显示时间的；西南角有“嘉量亭”，它是我国古代的标准量器，含有统一度量衡的意义，象征国家的统一和强盛。月台上还有四口大缸，都盛满清水以防火灾。古代称它们是“门海”，象征缸中水多似海，可镇火灾，所以又称“吉祥缸”。
眼前这座建筑就是凤凰楼，处于“前朝后寝”的中间，建在3.8米高的青砖台基上，是一座三层歇山式建筑，原名叫翔凤楼，是皇太极休息、宴会和读书之所。清入关后，曾用以存放帝王的画像、行乐图及清初皇帝的玉玺。凤凰楼正门上方悬挂的“紫气东来”金字横匾，是乾隆皇帝的御笔，意识是大清朝国力强盛的福气是从东方的盛京来的，表达了清代皇帝对祖先创业之地的顶礼膜拜。下层的门洞是连接台上、台下的通道。凤凰楼既是后宫的大门，又是当时盛京最高的建筑，所以有“凤楼晓日”、“凤楼观塔”等传称，并被列为盛京八景之一。 第三进院落南起凤凰楼，北至清宁宫，东西各有二宫，是一组典型的北方四合院建筑。这就是皇太极的后宫，为皇太极和后妃们的住所。
清宁宫原叫“正宫”，为五间硬山式前后廊式建筑，是沈阳故宫中最具满族住宅特色的建筑。东一间是皇太极和孝端文皇后博尔及吉特氏的寝宫，称“暖阁”；寝宫分为南北两室，各有火炕，又称“龙床”。1643年（崇德八年）皇太极就在南炕上“端坐无疾而终”，终年52岁，后葬于昭陵。西侧三间通连，北、西、南三面搭成相连的环炕，称为“万字炕”，是帝后日常饮食起居及会见、宴请亲眷的厅堂。门开在东面第二间南面，形如口袋，称为“口袋房”。清宁宫的烟囱在清宁宫的后面，从地面垒砌，略低于房脊，从正面看不见，非常的有特点，一会绕过去就能看到。其“口袋房、万字炕、烟囱出在地面上”的布局，反映了满族民居独特的建筑风格。
索伦干在清宁宫正门前的庭院南端，满族人称它为“神杆”。木杆下方上圆，底部镶有石座，顶端安有锡斗，全部用红漆涂染。它是满族人用来祭天用的。祭天时，在锡斗内放上五谷杂粮或猪的杂碎，以敬乌鸦，这反映了满族萨满教的灵禽崇拜观念，据说也和乌鸦救主的观念有关。
清宁宫两侧的东西配宫，都是皇太极和妃子们的居住之所。东配宫有关雎宫，衍庆宫，西配宫有麟趾宫和永福宫。四宫中以永福宫最为著名，1638年（崇德三年），清世祖福临就出生在永福宫。
[西路]
沈阳故宫西路是为了适应皇帝东巡的需要而增建的一组建筑，主要有文溯阁、戏台、嘉荫堂和仰熙斋，套院相接，多而不乱，有较浓的文化气息。
文溯阁建于1781年（乾隆四十六年）至1783年（乾隆四十八年），为西路建筑中的主体建筑，是仿照明代浙江宁波大藏书家范钦的“天一阁”修建的，专门用来收藏乾隆时期的编撰的大型图书《四库全书》，也是全国存放《四库全书》的著名七阁之一。阁名是乾隆钦定的，因位于其“祖宗发祥之地”盛京，所起取“溯源求本”之意名为“文溯阁”。《四库全书》分经、史、子、集四大部，结构严谨，是我国古典文献中的珍贵遗产，对弘扬和传播民族文化具有重要意义。《四库全书》共缮写7部，其中一部就藏在“文溯阁”。1966年10月，基于备战考虑，辽宁省将《四库全书》等秘密运至兰州，有移交到甘肃省图书馆保存。 文溯阁是硬山式建筑，面阔6间，外面看是重檐2层，在里面看则是3层，明显带有江南建筑的风格样式。与沈阳故宫的其它建筑不同，文溯阁顶盖上用的
是黑琉璃瓦绿剪边，这在沈阳故宫中是独一无二的。根据五行八卦之说，和代表水，书最忌火，以黑瓦为顶象征以水克火之意。
文溯阁后为仰熙斋，是皇帝读书之所。阁前宫门外有嘉荫堂，左右有出廊，南面有戏台，是乾隆、嘉庆时期皇帝东巡赏戏的场所。
各位游客们，大家好！，在繁华的沈阳古城中心，有一座巍峨庄严的清代宫殿建筑群。那里就是我们这天的目的地――沈阳故宫。
依建筑时光和布局，沈阳故宫的建筑可分为三部分，它们分别是东路、中路、西路。这天，我们就按这个顺序。首先参观东路建筑。沈阳故宫以其独特的建筑艺术和特殊的历史而闻名中外，在这片绚丽多彩，雄伟多姿的建筑群中，最古老，最具特色的就是我们面前的大政殿。
大政殿草创于1620xx年，是处理国家政务和举行庆典活动的主要场所之一。大政殿为八角重檐攒尖式建筑，外形近似满族早期在山林中狩猎时所搭的帐篷。在大政殿的房脊上，还饰有八个蒙古力士，牵引着八条铁链，象征着“八方归一”。正门前的大柱上，盘旋着两条翘首扬爪的金龙，是受汉族敬天畏龙思想的影响，以龙代表天子的至尊无上。大政殿建筑特点的多样性，体现了多民族文化的融合。金龙盘柱，尽显中原之风；八位力士又流露了浓郁的蒙古色彩；而亭帐式的风貌，则是满族古老文化的延续。作为最早使用和最为重要的宫殿之一。许多重大历史事件都以大政殿为舞台上演。1643年，六岁的顺治皇帝在大政殿继承帝位，并于次年在此颁布了出兵令，命摄政王多尔哀兵入山海关直捣中原，最终完成了满清一代的一统大业。
大政殿两侧南向，十王亭呈燕翅排列。错落有致，如众星拱月，南宽北狭，似无穷无尽，象征兵多将广，万世绵延。十王亭是清朝入关前左右翼王和八旗旗主在皇宫内办公的地方。它们与大政殿构成了一组亭子式的院落建筑，反映了满族独特的军政体制――八旗制度，这在中国的历史上堪称独步天下。远在努尔哈赤立国之初，凡遇军国大事都由汗王与八旗贝勒大臣共同讨论决定。努尔哈赤定都沈阳后，在修建宫殿时便将这种“君臣合署办公”的制度固定化。以建筑的形式表现了八旗制度和“八和硕贝勒共治国政”的政体及军事民主的思想。因而构成了大政殿、十五亭这组独特的建筑，为中国宫殿建筑史写下了空前的一页。
各位朋友，此刻我们来到了中路。从1620xx年皇太极继承汗位，即续建皇宫，构成沈阳故宫的中路建筑。中路建筑前起大清门，后至清宁宫，院落三进，独成一体。大清门是沈阳故宫的正门，为皇帝临朝前，文武百官候朝的地方。它便是演义小说中俗称的“午朝门”。大清门的屋顶满铺黄琉璃瓦并衬以绿色剪边，既保留了以黄为尊的传统观念，又体现了满族对故乡山林的深厚眷念。从而构成了区别北京故宫的一个特点――宫殿顶覆以黄琉璃瓦镶以绿色剪边。穿过大清门，北望便是崇政殿。崇政殿俗称“金銮殿”，是清太宗皇太极举行日常朝会的地方。1635年，皇太极下令将族名‘女真”改为“满洲”。1636年皇太极在崇政殿登基称帝，上尊号“宽温仁圣”，将国号“金”改为“清”年号“天聪”改为“崇德”。
各位朋友，古代宫殿建筑布局讲究“前朝后寝”。看过了皇帝上朝的金銮殿，请大家随我去参观帝后的寝宫。穿过崇政殿两侧的左右翊门，举目可见位于3。8米高台之上的凤凰楼。楼后为帝后寝居的后宫――台上五宫。与崇政殿比较又构成了沈阳故宫不一样于北京故宫的特点――“宫高殿低”。而北京故宫则恰恰相反，是“殿高官低”。
凤凰楼为宴饮、议事之所，是当年沈阳城的最高建筑，诗称“欲穷千里目，更上一层楼”可谓十分贴切。登上凤凰楼俯瞰四周，万般景物尽收眼底，可饱览盛京全景，也可观赏日出。“凤楼晓日”是当年著名的盛京八景之一。凤凰楼门洞上方悬有“紫气东来”匾，为乾隆皇帝御笔。而乾隆皇帝则是借用这个典故寓意大清的国运兴起于东方。
各位朋友，穿过凤凰楼底层的通道后，我们就进入了后妃居住的台上五官。台上五官是清宁宫、关雎宫、麟趾宫、衍庆宫、永福宫。
此刻请大家随我参观皇太极和皇后的寝宫――清宁宫。清宁宫东梢门称“暖阁”，是帝后的卧室。暖阁内分南北二室，二室均设火炕。1643年八月初九，皇太极在暖阁内驾崩，终年52岁，后葬于沈阳昭陵，即北陵。
清宁东次间开门，是典型的满族民居――口袋房，西四门南西北三面都设火炕，称“万字炕”。与汉族有所不一样的是，满族人将烟囱建在屋后，而且从地面向上垒起。这种“口袋房，万字炕、烟囱竖在地面上”的建筑特点具有浓郁的满族风格了。
各位朋友，此刻请随我去参观西路建筑。西路建于1782年至1783年，主要包括：戏台、嘉荫堂、文溯阁等。说起文溯阁，我们不能不提到乾隆皇帝和《四库全书》。出于加强文化统治的需要，乾隆皇帝于1772年下诏访求天下藏书，历经十余年时光编成一部大型丛书。该书分经、史、子、集四部，所以称为《四库全书》。书修成后，抄录七部，在全国建七座藏书阁分别收藏，沈阳故宫的文溯阁便是其中之一。提起宫殿建筑，我们很容易想起“红墙绿瓦”、“金壁辉煌’这类词汇。而文溯阁却与众不一样，屋顶用黑琉璃瓦镶绿剪边，整个建筑以黑绿两色为主色调，这与它的用途是分不开的。文溯阁藏书忌火，依据五行字说立色配饰，装修取《易经》“北方壬癸水”其色属黑，因此屋顶用黑色琉璃瓦，寓意水从天降，消灭火灾。文溯阁外观为两层，内部实为三层，书架上的木盒称函匣，用于收藏书籍。目前文溯阁的《四库全书》保存在甘肃省图书馆。
看到那里，我们这天的参观已经接近尾声。沈阳故宫的三路建筑是分期建造的，布局却是一气呵成，完整和谐。个性是三路建筑分别代表了“八和硕贝勒共治国政”、“皇太极南面独尊”、“康乾盛世”三个时期社会发展的基本特征。“建筑是凝固的历史”，从总体来看，沈阳故宫以建筑的方式反映了满族政权和满族社会由崛起――兴盛一高度发展的历史进程。
各位游客，我们这天的参观就要结束了，期望故宫之行能给您留下完美的回忆。
Hello,everyone!Please allow me to express a warm welcome on behalf of Shenyang citizens.I'm with great pleasure to be your tourist guide and from now on I will show you around Shenyang Imperial Palace,shere the founder of Qing Dynasty Nuerhachi and his son Huangtaiji lived.Shenyang Imperial Palace ,Fuling tomb and Zhaoling Tomb made in the early period of Qing Dynasty are the three famous historical sites in Shenyang .
Shenyang Imperial Palace with a history of over 360 years started in 1625 and was roughly accomplished in 1636 during the reign of Nuerhachi and HuangTaiji. After them four emperors of Qing Dynasty had come back from Beijing to this palace for 10 times and enlarged its area and added its buildings.They were Emperor Kangxi,Qianlong,Jiaqing and Daoguang.Therefore,until 1783 the palace was finally finished.
Shenyang Imperial Palace is one of the two royal palaces well kept in China.The other one is Forbidden City in Beijing.Shenyang Imperial Palace was entitled "Historic Culture Relics Preserved Buildings" in 1961 by the State Council.This palace is an emperor museum combining the architectual styles of the minorities of Man,Han and Mongolia.
This palace covers an area of 60,000 square meters,comprising over 20 courtyards,300 houses and 70 buildings.The whole construction is divided into three sections: the east, middle and west.
First let's pay a visit to the buildings in the buildings in the middle section.The layout of middle section is similar to a Chinese compound with three courtyards.The first courtyard is the office area.It starts from the Grand Qing Gate on the south and ends at Holy Administration Hall.From Phoenix Tower to Purity and Tranquility Hall is the residential area.They all lay out on the same line.
The main entrance to the palace is the Grand Qing Gate,also called Meridian Gate because the emperor considered himself as the son of Heaven and the palace should be the center of universe .The Grand Qing Gate was bulilt in 1632 and is was the place where the civilian offcials and military ministers to present themselves before the emperor daily .The special feature of the gate is the tile color.They are all yellow tiles but engraved with green borders.Yellow synbolizes the ground and the royal right while green represents sea and mountains.The combination of them means controlling the vast areas on the earth.
The building to the east of Grand Qing Gate is called Ancestor Temple(Taimiao)with yellow tile roof,where Nuerhachi's descendants offeredsacrifices to their ancestors for blessings.So Ancestor Temple is the most important.
Please follow me into the gate.This path in the middle links the gate to Holy Administration Hall with Flying Dragon Pavilion (Feilongge) and Flying Phoenix Pavilion(Xiangfengge) on each side.The Hall of Holy Administration is the main building in the middle part of the palace and it was the center of the military,administrative affairs in eatly Qing Dynasty and had witnessed many national ceremories.Flying Dragon and Flying Phoenix Pavilions were for storing music instruments.
Holy Administration Hall was Emperor Huangtaiji's office.In front of the hall are Rigui and Jiangliang,which were used as measure instruments and supposed to be the symbol of unity.
In accient construction,office area is usually in the front part and residential area is in the rear.Since we have visted the place where the Emperors worked and now we'll pay a visite tothe place where empress and concubines lived.Here is the Phoenis Tower.It served as an entrances to the rear chambers and also the entertainment area of Huangtaiji and his concubines,and some gatherings or banquets were held occasionally.The tower was built on a terrace 3.8 meters tall.It was the tallest building in Shenyang at that time .It is amazing watching sunrise in the morning on the tower and Phoenix Sunrise is one of the famous Eight fascinating Scenes in Shenyang.
Look upward ,we will see a board hanging up on Phoenix Tower ,on which Emperor Qianlong inscribed "Ziqidonglai"，which meant the Qing Dynasty in Beijing immigrated fron Shengjing,the old name for Shenyang to the east .There are 24staircases leading to Phoenix Tower representing 24 seasonal divisions points in chinese lunar calendar.In Shenyang Imperial palace chambers are higher than halls, which is contrary to the architectural style in Forbidden city in Beijing.
Walking through the tower are the rear chambers.The one on the north in the middle was called Purity and Tranquility Hall,which was prepared for emperor and empress.The other four lying on both sides were fo concubines .Purity and Tranquility Hall has five rooms and the First from the east was where Huangraiji passed away here at the age of 52 without any disease.His throne passed to his ninth son,Fulin.In early Qing Dynasty,the construction style was summed up like this: bag-like house,zigzag bed and chimney sitting on the ground.The main buildings here were different from other buildings with a door was opende in the wall of the east room and the other rooms were connected together like a bag.The zigzag beds,made of mud and brick and with fire and smoke tunnels were called"kang"in Chinese.In order to get heat and keep room warm in winter,tunnels was made under the ground of Purity and Tranquility Hall to put fire and smoke through .Now notice the pole standing on the ground for smoke notice the pole standing right in the middle of the courtyard.This red pole is called Suolun pole,or Holy Pole.Its round tin container near the top was filled with food for feeding crows.It was said that Nuerhachi was savedby are considered sacred in Manchurian culture though in Chinese culture crows are regarded as birds bringing bad luck.
Emperor Huangtaiji had four concubines.Among the four concubines Chen was loved best by Huangtaiji and Concubine Zhuang was the wisest and the mother of the next emperor,Fulin.Therefore ,she had a special status among the concubines.
The only chimney was built on the rear of Purity and Tranquility hall from the ground with 11 layers ,representing the 11 emperors from Emperor Huangtaiji to the last emperor Puyi.This chimney was the highest one at that time.In Chinese ,the sound of chimeny"tong" is the same as that of unity.
To the north further is rear courtyard called Yuhua Garden.
After visiting the middle section of the palace ,we come to the eastern section.Its representative building is the Great Administration Hall,flanked by Ten Princes Pavilions.This part was built in 1625,and they were the earliest building in Shenyang Imperial Administration Hall is the place ceremonies and handled state affairs.
Great Administration Hall was built with eight sides representing the style of military tent and also Eight Banner military please look at the ten pavilions,five on each side,which were the offices of the commanders at that time.Here I will give you an introduction to the military system of early Manchurian Period .Nuerhachi divided his troops in four parts and each part was identified by the color of its banner .There sere then four kinds of banner:red,blue,white and yellow banner.As the troops expanded quickly ,another four parts were added and therefore another four kinds of banner were needed .By then there were altogether eight kinds of banner.This army was therefore well known for Eight Banner Army .
The last part of Shenyang Imperial Palace is the western section,built from 1782 to 1783 and during Emperor Qianlong's reign.Its main construction is Book Source Pavilion (Wensuge) with Theater Platform and Good Descendant-benefiting Hall(Jiayintang) in front,Prosperity Administration Stydy (Yangxizhai) and Nine Halls behind.Book Souurce Pavilion(wensuge) was specially designed for storing the encyclopedia compiled at that time,Si Ku Quan Shu.This encyclopedia collected most of the books in Chinese history .Its complication started in 1773.This set of history books is composed of seven sections,more than 36,000 volumes.It took educated persons over 10 years to finish is.When finished,the sholeeyclopedia was duplicated in seven pavilions across China.The other six copies were either damaged during wars or lost.This set is the only one well kept.But the real copy is no longer here and now is restored in the Palace Museum in Beijing and Gansu province library.We can see that Book Source Pavilion covered with black tiles.In Chinese philosophy,black refers water.The pavilion was built for storing books and its biggest threat was fire.So black tiles hinting water covering it on the top as a way of protection .Good Proserty Admiration Study was for Emperor reading while Descendant-benefiting Hall and the Theater Platform consisting of a couryard for Emperor ,his empress and concubines watching plays.
Shenyang Imperial Palace is one of the cultural relics in China and it is the symbol of this city .It is a good combination of diferent nationalities as well as a tourist attraction.And now we have to end our visiting ,I hope you all enjoy it and thank you for your cooperation,goodbye.
