Lidai Diwang Miao (Temple of Previous Dynasties)

Originally, I thought that the temple of emperors in modern times forcibly put the cards of emperors in modern times together. I only learned that it was right for people to make up the pile, but this behavior began during the Ming Jiajing years... This place is small and fine, if you don’t explain it to the tour guide, you will visit it for up to half an hour. The old gentleman who explained the duty did not come quickly and clearly to explain the history of the temple.

Finally opened! Be careful not to go on Monday. The hall is magnificent, but only some of the emperor's cards are served inside. Of course, there is no Qin Shihuang or Emperor Yuan. However, how can the lack of Emperor Yuan Wen?

Ming Jiajing Emperor built, the yard is not large enough to be rich in content, the main hall supply from Fuxi, Yandi, Huangdi, Xiaqi, Shangtang began to Ming Dynasty emperors a total of 188, East and West Temple supply 79 people of the famous general Xianchen. In-depth understanding of the Ming and Qing emperors' views on emperors and famous officials, there are about 460 emperors in China, there are only 188 worship cards, such as Qin Shihuang, Yuan Wendi, etc. are not listed.

Historical background: the imperial temple of the past dynasties is a group building, it sits north and south, several buildings on the central axis have shadow, temple gate, bell tower, Jingdemen, Jingdechong Temple, Jingdechong Temple on both sides of the east and west sides of the two stele pavilions. The original imperial temple was first built in Nanjing by Zhu Yuanxu, and Ming Jiajing Emperor chose to build the imperial temple in the former site of the security temple in Yuanchengmen. Cultural value: The imperial temples of the past generations are the only existing imperial temples in China, and most of them retain the structure of the Ming Dynasty when they were created, with high architectural value and cultural relics value. The main temple was built by the emperors from the beginning of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors to the Ming Dynasty. The temple was built by Guan Yu alone and became a strange temple in the temple. It must be known that the temple of the emperors of the past years was dedicated to the Three Emperors and the emperors who founded the country and guarded the business. From Hongwu to Qianlong, the Imperial Temple experienced changes from Nanjing to Beijing, from less to more emperors, from statues to plaques. Emperor Qianlong proposed "Chinese unity is like a line", and the emperors can be learned from the law, so that the emperor's concept of sacrifice is perfect.

历代帝王庙终于开放了，听着消息赶紧上公众号预约，扫过码之后还要在现场买票的，20块钱。历代帝王庙有将近500年的历史了，原来在南京，后来迁到北京，前身是保安寺。其实历朝历代都有供奉古代君王的传统，尤其三皇五帝是一定会建庙祭祀的，明朝建立历代帝王庙的时候，最初只供奉16位古代君王，后来标准不断调整，供奉君王的数量也不断增加，最终康熙时确定了188人的规模，他们的牌位供奉在大殿里，从三皇五帝直到明朝君王，不过也有些著名的君王是不在其中的，最典型的应属秦始皇。另外，这里还供奉着几十位各朝的贤臣，分别在东西配殿，关羽是最为特殊的一位，清朝时专门建立了关帝庙，形成了奇特的庙中庙。现在除了供奉君王与贤臣的展览外，还有关于百家姓的展厅，整体参观下来大约需要一个半小时。清朝统治结束后，历代帝王庙曾经用于办公场所、学校等用途，近几十年来，终于得到了妥善的保管和恢复，成了今天我能看到的博物馆。
