Chapter 177 Arriving at the Forbidden City, the largest architectural complex in the world!
The right to speak on fashion trends is also controlled by the Western world.

Whatever they say is a trend, that is the trend.

But this time it’s different. If the military coat can appear on the Bari Fashion Week, it will definitely shock the entire fashion industry!
By that time, the rules set by the Western world will definitely be shaken!
Let them see the beauty and fashion that belong only to China!

Chen Lu replied to the message without hesitation.

Emma was waiting in front of the computer, staring at the screen.

This way, if the message is replied, she will be able to see it first.

After all, time is limited, Barry Fashion Week is about to begin, and we have to race against time.

Ding!
"He replied to me!"

Emma couldn't wait to open the private message and saw the message from Chen Lu.

Same, agreed?
She was a little surprised. She didn't expect to get permission so easily.

"Mr. Chen, can you come to Bari? Don't worry, I will cover all the round-trip airfare, hotel accommodation and other expenses. I hope you can come and discuss it in person."

Chen Lu frowned.

In person?
In fact, going to Bari was also in the original plan.

After all, Barry has the title of the city of romance, and he also wants to see how romantic it is.

However, there are still many tourist attractions in the country that he has not visited, and he has no plans to do so for the time being.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not planning on going to Barry at the moment."

"That's it..."

Emma felt a little regretful. Since the design was about clothing with military coat elements, it would be better to discuss it in person.

After all, she doesn't know much about Chinese culture, and her designs may not be able to perfectly showcase Chinese beauty.

But she didn't force it.

If they don't want to come, you can't beg them to come, right?

"Then can you send me an authentic Chinese military coat? Because I really don't know where to buy one."

"That's no problem. Just send me your address and I'll send it to you today."

Many military coat manufacturers came to him for cooperation, and he just had to choose one and send it to him.

If you knew that the military coats you produced might be displayed at the Bari Fashion Week, you would probably be eager to send out samples, right?
"Thank you so much!"

Emma quickly replied, this is really going much more smoothly than I imagined.

"I'll send you the sketch in a few days. Please give me some suggestions!"

After hanging up the phone, the two arrived at the Forbidden City a few hours later.

Anna was shocked when she saw such a magnificent complex of buildings.

Stepping into the Meridian Gate, it feels like traveling through a tunnel of time and space, and you are instantly surrounded by a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.

The tall city walls are mainly vermilion in color, and the tops of the walls are covered with golden glazed tiles, which shine brightly in the sun, demonstrating the supreme majesty and dignity of the royal family.

The corner towers on the city walls, with their flying eaves and pointed corners, are exquisite and delicate, like guards protecting the imperial city, quietly telling stories of the past.

Walking along the central axis, the three main halls of Supreme Harmony, Central Harmony and Preserving Harmony are arranged in sequence. They are magnificent and are the core area of ​​the Forbidden City.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony, also known as the Golden Throne Hall, is where the emperor held grand ceremonies. It is a grand building with a double-eaved hipped roof and ten beasts installed on the eaves, fully demonstrating the supremacy of imperial power.

[Is this the Forbidden City? It looks even more stunning than the pyramids and the Sphinx in Egypt!] [It is said that the Chinese royal family all admires gold, so why is the outer wall red?]

[Who told you that everyone admires gold? Every dynasty has a different favorite color. ]

[This is even more shocking than what I saw in the buildings in China! ]

[I thought the Forbidden City was a palace, but it turns out to be more like a neighborhood? ]

[What kind of community is this? According to the standard, this is called a building complex!]

The foreigners also widened their eyes. They had never seen such a huge complex of buildings!

The area covered is at least as large as hundreds of football fields!
Compared with such a huge Forbidden City, the architecture in their country is simply not worth mentioning!

There happened to be a tour guide explaining to tourists, so Chen Lu hurriedly pulled Anna to follow.

After all, he is a professional tour guide and his explanation is definitely clearer than mine.

"The Forbidden City is also called the Purple Forbidden City. In ancient times, people emphasized the unity of man and nature, and used the stars in the sky to correspond to the planning of the capital. In other words, overlooking the Purple Forbidden City is exactly like a star map in the sky!"

"The palace where the emperor resides is called Ziwei Palace, and the imperial palace was a forbidden area in ancient times, so it is called the Forbidden City."

“Twenty-four emperors once lived in the Forbidden City, and it now exists as the Palace Museum.”

"The Forbidden City, along with the Palace of Versailles, Buckingham Palace, the Palace of the Holy Trinity and the Kremlin, is known as one of the five greatest palaces in the world and is listed on the World Cultural Heritage List!"

"The palace buildings of the Forbidden City are the largest and most complete ancient building complex in China, with a total area of ​​more than 72 square meters. It is said that there are 9999 and a half palaces and rooms, and it is called the "Sea of ​​Palaces"!"

"A central axis runs through the entire Forbidden City, and this central axis is on the central axis of the capital. The three main halls, the three rear palaces, and the imperial garden are all located on this central axis."

"There are many buildings symmetrically distributed on both sides of the central axis."

"The outer court is centered on the three main halls of Taihe, Zhonghe and Baohe, with Wenhua and Wuying halls as the two wings. The inner court is centered on the Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Hall and Kunning Palace, with the six east and west palaces as the two wings. The layout is rigorous and orderly."

"The palace is surrounded by a 10-meter-high, 3400-meter-long wall, with a 52-meter-wide moat outside the wall."

"The outer court is where the emperor handles government affairs. It mainly has three main halls, namely the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Central Harmony, and the Hall of Preserving Harmony."

"The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the main hall, where important ceremonies such as the emperor's enthronement, wedding, and enthronement are held. The Hall of Central Harmony at the back is where the emperor rests before attending important ceremonies, and the Hall of Preserving Harmony is where banquets and palace examinations are held."

"The museum houses a large number of cultural relics. According to statistics, there are more than one million pieces, accounting for one-sixth of the total number of Chinese cultural relics!"

[One million cultural relics, are there really that many? ]

[Don’t forget, China is an ancient country with a history of 5,000 years of civilization, and it is the only one of the four ancient countries that has not been interrupted! ]

[If the British hadn't looted so many of them, the number of cultural relics here would be even greater! ]

[Damn it, the British are here. I get so angry every time I think about it! ]

[One day, I will make them pay back everything with interest! ]

After the tour guide's introduction, Anna had a preliminary impression of the Forbidden City.

Just one word: big!

It is worthy of being the largest building complex, it looks so shocking!

If you want to explore the entire Forbidden City, it will take a whole day, right?
Chen Lu smiled and said: "In fact, the most amazing thing about the Forbidden City is its super earthquake resistance. It can't be shaken down even by a magnitude 10 earthquake!"

[Can't be knocked down by a magnitude 10 earthquake? Are you just bragging? 】
