故宫一日游—大会堂赏乐

One-Day Tour to thePalace Museum—Enjoy the Music in the Great Hall of the People

 故宫啥时候游览都可以，最佳游览时间是每年的八九月份，元旦游览故宫，一是游人较少，最主要的则是为了晚上聆听人民大会堂的新年音乐会，元旦前后走进人民大会堂，已然是一种文化时尚。

The Palace Museum can be visited at any time, but the best time to visit is in August and September. I chose to visit the Palace Museum on New Year's Day when there were fewer visitors, when there were fewer visitors, and more importantly, I also planned to attend the New Year concert in the evening at the Great Hall of the People. Walking into the Great Hall of the People around New Year has become a cultural fashion.

先说一下故宫。   

First, let's talk about the Palace Museum. 

    
故宫又称紫禁城，是中国明、清两代的皇宫。依照中国古代星象学说，紫微垣（即北极星）位于中天，乃天帝所居，所以，皇帝住紫禁城，天人对应。

The Palace Museum, also known as the Palace Museum, was the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties of China. According to ancient Chinese astrology, he emperor’s abode, which was considered the pivot of the terrestrial world, was correlated with the Ziweiyuan( the Pole Star), where the emperor of heaven lives.

北京故宫是世界上最大的古建筑群---规模最大、保存最完整，位于北京中轴线的中心。

The Palace Museum in Beijing is the largest ancient architectural complex in the world -- the largest and best preserved. It is located in the center of the central axis of Beijing.

北京为五朝帝都：辽、金、元、明、清，明清时期的故宫和紫禁城是在元皇宫和元大都的地基之上建造起来的。

Beijing used to bethe capital of five dynasties: Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing. The imperial palace and the Palace Museum during the Ming and Qing dynasties were built on the foundation of the imperial palace and the capital of the Yuan dynasty.

明代第三位皇帝朱棣在夺取帝位后，为了巩固统治，控制北方，震慑蒙古，决定迁都自己的封地北京。公元1406年开始，在元大都的基础上营造宫殿，到明永乐十八年，即公元1420年落成。.

After taking the throne, Zhu Di, the third emperor of the Ming dynasty, decided to move the capital to his fiefdom Beijing in order to consolidate his rule, control the north and awe Mongolia. The palace was then built on the basis of the capital of Yuan dynasty from 1406 to 1420.

1911年，辛亥革命推翻了中国最后的封建帝制——清王朝，按常理，皇帝不应在此地居住了，但根据当时临时革命政府拟定的《清室优待条件》，逊帝溥仪仍被允许暂居宫禁，即紫禁城后部的后寝，又称内廷。1924年，清逊帝爱新觉罗•溥仪被逐出宫禁，从此，故宫不再是皇帝的专属。至此，故宫共计居住过明清24个皇帝。

In 1911, the Qing dynasty, the last feudal monarchy of China, wasoverthrown by the Xinhai Revolution (the Revolution of 1911), and according tocommon sense, the emperor should not continue to live here. However, based onthe "Preferential Treatment Conditions of the Imperial Family ofQing" provided by the provisional revolutionary government at that time,"preferential treatment conditions of the family of Qing dynasty", Puyi,the last emperor of Qing, was still allowed to temporarily residence live inthe Inner Court, the northern part of the Forbidden City the palace, namely thebedroom after the Forbidden City, also known as the imperial palace. In 1924, EmperorPuyi of the Qing dynasty was expelled from the imperial palace. Till then, thePalace Museum served as residence of a total of 24 emperors of the Ming andQing dynasties.

此后，政权交接频繁，故宫文物历经多次迁移，但总有光明磊落、胸怀未来的文物工作者精心呵护，所以，经过几代文物保护者的清理整顿，故宫及其文物的修缮保护逐步完善。

Since then, though with frequent changes ofregimes and several transfers of the collections of the Palace Museum, thecollections of the Palace Museum have always been carefully protected by thoseforward-looking and right-minded people who dedicate to takinggood care of the collections.Therefore, after unremitting efforts of several generations of theseprotectors, the repair and protections of the Palace Museum and its collectionswas gradually improved.

由于历史原因，1948到1949年，部分清宫旧藏文物被国民党政府迁往台北故宫，但北京故宫博物院通过收回溥仪私带出宫的珍品，接受民间捐赠，并参与考古发掘，故宫博物院在1949年以后更是多种渠道丰富馆藏。

Due to historical reasons, part of the old Qing’s palace treasures were moved to the Palace Museum in Taipei by the Kuomintang government from1948 to 1949, but the Palace Museum in Beijing has been retrieving and enriching its collections through a variety of channels including recovering the treasures privately taken out of the palace by Puyi, accepting private donations, and participating in archaeological excavations, especially since 1949.

到目前，文物总数达到一百八十多万件，其中珍贵文物一百六十多万件、一般文物十一万多件、标本七千多件，主要门类有档案古籍、古书画、瓷器、铜器、玉器等，涵盖几乎整个古代中国文明发展史和几乎所有文物门类。

Up to now, the total number of cultural relics has reached more than 1.8 million, including more than 1.6 million precious cultural relics, more than 110,000 general cultural relics and more than 7,000 specimens. The clock hall, treasure hall, stone drum hall, opera hall, etc., it exhibits these precious cultural relics in different categories.

目前，故宫分别设有书画馆、瓷器馆、铜器馆、玉器馆、金银器馆、青铜器馆、钟表馆、珍宝馆、石鼓馆、戏曲馆等，分门别类地展览这些珍贵文物。

At present, the Palace Museum has a museum of calligraphy and painting, a museum of porcelain, a museum of bronze, a museum of jade, a museum of gold and silver, a museum of bronze, a museum of clocks and watches, a museum of treasures, a museum of stone drums, and a museum of operas, which exhibit these precious cultural relics in different categories.

另外，为了对故宫文物捐献人的纪念，特辟捐献馆展示，并镌刻捐献人姓名于展厅中以示尊重和感谢。

In addition, in order to commemorate the donors of cultural relics of the Palace Museum, a special donation hall is separated for display and engraved donor name in the exhibition hall to show respect and gratitude.
