Also, for the women of the inner court, the grand theater of Changyin Pavilion of Ningshou Palace is also a place where the heart yearns for. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are three theaters in the Forbidden City:

The smallest one, in fact, is the Taiji Hall of the apse of the body Yuan Hall of the Hou Hug Xia, when singing, the main hall of the Changchun Palace opposite, is the place to listen to the play. This theater building was built after Wenzong opened the Taiji Hall and Changchun Palace, which is his "private theater".

The harem concubines listened to the play, mainly in Shufangzhai.

Shufangzhai is next to the north palace wall of the inner court, and the imperial garden is on the left, although the location is remote, the stage is "professional", and the volume is much larger than the theater building in the Taiji Palace.

This theater building can be regarded as a scene in this book, but it has not really come in handy: Guan Zhuofan entered Beijing to see His Majesty when he was appointed governor of Jiangsu, and stayed in the palace as a royal guard, and the queen mother of the two palaces gave a banquet, which originally meant "appreciating the play", but at that time, the Marquis of Guan honestly said that he "didn't understand the drama and couldn't listen", so this matter was put aside.

If you "enjoy the opera", the location of the drama is naturally Shufangzhai.

Although the theater of Shufangzhai is not small, it is a small witch compared to the big theater of Changyin Pavilion.

The theater of Taiji Hall and Shufangzhai have only one stage of stage, and the stage of Changyin Pavilion Grand Theater is the upper, middle and lower three floors, the upper floor is called "Futai", the middle floor is called "Lutai", and the lower floor is called "Shoutai", and the regulation is grand.

Therefore, according to the old legend, this three-layer stage of "blessing, Lu and longevity" contains a lot of tricks.

"Shoutai" is set up in the center of the well, the well is equipped with a winch, there is a cover plate, can be opened and closed, when singing, "the end of the masonry" and the ugly people of the end of the life and the net of the end, can be raised from the ground to the table.

It is said that there is a scene of "the golden lotus of the earth", that is, four big lotus flowers are slowly drilled out from under the stage, and a Bodhisattva is placed on one lotus flower.

Also, the word "Yong" is not imaginary, there is really water! -- On the ground under the stage, there are manholes at each of the four corners, "When the ***** rises slowly, the water will spurt out!"

"Lutai" and "Futai", all set up patios, up and down, the wellhead is set up with a wheel, the well is aligned with the well of "Shoutai", "masonry", actors can be lifted and lowered through the patio, for example, "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers" play, there are really fairies falling from the sky, and the petals are flying around!

Wow!

Some people also say that the Summer Palace, which Prince Xuan repaired for the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, also has a big theater in it, which is repaired according to the Changyin Pavilion Grand Theater, two large theater buildings, the general height and appearance, are also three-story theaters, and they are also various organs.

In this way, the big theater building of Changyin Pavilion must be worthy of its name, and it must be interesting at the top! Otherwise, I think that Prince Naxuan has such a vision, and he is a person who pays attention to "Western learning", how can he draw a gourd according to Changyin Pavilion?

Not really!

This, this-

Hey, it's like eating bran vegetables on weekdays, and suddenly one day the table is full of Han, and for a while, it's a little unbearable!

Hahaha!

It was really sudden.

This "Tianzi No. 1" lobby meeting does not seem to have been prepared for a long time, and there has been no news about this before the Queen Mother returns to Luan - it will not be a deliberate blockade of news, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the theater team, are all a bunch of big mouths, this kind of thing, it is impossible not to reveal the letter.

The matter was decided the day before the auxiliary king went to Tianjin to welcome the Queen Mother, and as soon as the internal affairs office was ordered, he hurriedly ran errands, contacted the "four major Hui classes", prepared the "masonry", the line, cleaned, repaired, and whitewashed the Changyin Pavilion, and it took only a few days to describe "time is tight and the task is heavy", but everything was done properly and on time.

Moreover, this time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is particularly "self-denying" in terms of reimbursement, and there is nothing too big to show - it has not been a long time since I received any decent and serious errands from Prince Xuan, and this is not easy to come to an order, if you don't know each other, not only will there be no second order in the future, but if it is not good, even the order at hand may have to be smashed.

As for why the "top" wants to hold such a "Tianzi No. 1" lobby meeting, there are different opinions inside and outside the palace.

The most common saying is that although there are three queen mothers in the "top", in the final analysis, this scene is still sung to the "west" alone.

Here's why:

First, the "West Side" is the best one.

Second, this can be regarded as "reverence for merit", and it can be regarded as the "filial piety" of the emperor and the emperor's husband.

Third, after the "removal of the curtain", the queen mother of the two palaces, who was originally "working day and night, dreaming of sleeping at night, holding her hair and spitting out her breasts, and being extremely diligent", suddenly became idle, and the "east side" didn't matter, her temperament was originally to eat tea and dinner; The one on the "west" side is different!

Who doesn't know, this master likes flashy and lively, and as soon as he is idle, he will make trouble? If you can't find something to do, and if you hold it hard, you will have to be "windy", and the close servants on the left and right will be unlucky?

So, I have to think about it for her, so I can pass the time!

This remark naturally cannot be put on the table; It's not even easy to say that the lobby of this "Tianzi No. 1" will be used to "recite merit and virtue", after all, the "national funeral" has not been long in the past - the one who "mourns" is the son of the "western"! Listening to the play, after all, it belongs to "Yile", and at this point, it is not easy to directly connect with "Xibianer".

So, in the name of "the New Year, the family is lively and lively", he was sloppy.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a "family banquet", and the emperor, the three empress dowagers, and the concubines of each palace had to have a banquet with them, which meant that "the family was lively and lively together"! Now, it's just a matter of adding a few plays to the "family banquet", and this "lively" is a little bigger--no problem!

By the way, the Jingshifang has already said that on Chinese New Year's Eve, each palace does not have to open its own partnership, lunch and dinner, all in the Changyin Pavilion reading is Lou.

Reading is the building on the opposite side of the big theater building, which is the place where you specially take it to watch the play.

While watching the play, while eating, while enjoying the entertainment of the ears and eyes, while satisfying the appetite, ouch, what a pleasant thing is this?

This year, but it's a happy life!

Although this is to "recite merit and virtue" for the west, everyone is following the light, hello and me, well, it is really ...... "virtue and politics"!

Few people know -- including the "West Side" himself, the most fundamental purpose of holding this "Tianzi No. 1" lobby meeting is actually not for her who loves to listen to operas the most, but for the one who loves to listen to operas the most -- Guan Zhuofan, Prince of Fu Zhengxuan.
