Wuchaomen Ruins Park

Wuchaomen park is located at the north end of Yudao street in Zhongshan Gate. It is named after the wuchaomen of the Ming Palace Museum in the south of the park. In 1958, Wumen and Fengtian hall were turned into parks. Nanjing's Ming Palace Museum is the blueprint of Beijing's Palace Museum. It is the first imperial palace of a unified dynasty in Nanjing history. It is located on the north and south sides of today's Zhongshan Road. After Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jiqing (Nanjing), he changed Jiqing into yingtianfu. In order to be the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Liu Ji and other divination sites to be designated as the new palace, and finally selected this land as the geomantic treasure land of "Zhongfu Longpan" and "the house of the emperor". It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang recruited 200000 military and civilian craftsmen to fill yanque lake and "build a new city". The project started in 1366 and lasted for one year. It was magnificent and prosperous. Entering the Meridian Gate, there are five stone bridges, called "neiwulong bridge", under which is neiyu river. After crossing the bridge is the Fengtian gate. From south to north, there are three main halls: Fengtian, Huagai and Jinshen. There are Wenhua hall and Wenlou in the east of the three halls, and Wuying hall and Wulou in the west, which are collectively referred to as the five halls of the former dynasty. Fengtian hall, which is often referred to as Jinluan hall, is the place where Zhu Yuanzhang held a major ceremony and received the congratulations of civil and military officials. Later, the three halls of Taihe, Zhonghe and Baohe in the Forbidden City of Beijing were built to simulate the three halls of Fengtian, Huagai and Jinshen. After the three halls, the place where the emperor and his concubines lived was called houting. Located on the central axis are the three palaces of Qianqing, Jiaotai and Kunning, with rouyi Hall (East Palace) on the left and Chunhe Hall (West Palace) on the right. The northeast corner is the East six palaces, and the northwest corner is the West six palaces. On the west side of Chunhe hall is the imperial garden. "Former dynasty" and "later court" were combined to form "imperial court". The Palace Museum of the Ming Dynasty has numerous palaces, numerous pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, thousands of houses, resplendent splendor and magnificent momentum. It was once the palace of Hongwu, Jianwen and Yongle in the early Ming Dynasty for 54 years. It was not until the 19th year of Yongle (1421) that Zhu Di, the founder of Ming Dynasty, moved his capital to Beijing that the imperial palace of Ming Dynasty in Nanjing officially ended its mission. However, it was still garrisoned by royal families and important officials, and its status was still very important. As soon as Nanjing was liberated, Liu Bocheng, Chen Yi and other comrades invited relevant experts and scholars to have a discussion and solicit opinions on protection. The participants agreed that this is an important Ming Dynasty Palace site in Chinese history and should be protected. Therefore, they decided to deeply bury about 350 stone pillar foundations on the ground and bury them in the north central axis of the road and its two sides; to protect the 600000 square meters of land on the north side of Zhongshan East Road as the training ground of Nanjing Military Region; and to transport the stone carvings that were robbed by the British fares to Xiaguan Yangtze Hotel back to the site It's going to be repaired. In October 1956, the Ming Palace Museum site was announced as a key cultural relic protection unit in Jiangsu Province. Now the municipal government is planning and demonstrating a new plan to protect and utilize the Ming Palace Museum site, so as to make it play a greater role.
