Many people are very confused about the name of Daming Palace. Those who understand the historical background of Daming Palace will naturally know the mystery. Those who do not understand the historical background often think that Daming Palace was named "Daming Palace" because it was built in the Ming Dynasty.

So why does the Daming Palace "not play according to common sense?" Below, Xiaobian takes everyone to explore some of the "mysteries"!

"Tang Dynasty Daming Palace"

Daming Palace is located in Longshou Plain, Weiyang District, Xi'an City. It was the main palace of the Great Dynasty during the Tang Dynasty and is known as the pinnacle of "Chinese Palace" architecture. When it comes to Chinese palaces, many people may first think of the Forbidden City in Beijing. The Forbidden City is my country's most important historical and cultural heritage and a miracle in human history.

However, compared with the Daming Palace in the Tang Dynasty, the Forbidden City in Beijing still cannot conceal the glory of the Daming Palace. First of all, the overall layout of the Daming Palace is 4.5 times that of the Forbidden City in Beijing. The internal layout is very large and the momentum is magnificent.

"The Significance of Daming Palace"

In fact, the significance of the Daming Palace did not have much significance to the Tang Dynasty at that time except as the political center of a dynasty. The Daming Palace was only used as an imperial palace during the Tang Dynasty, but for later people, the Daming Palace has become an ancient building in Chinese history. Its significance lies in that it has become a very important part of Chinese culture.

"Why Daming Palace was named"

The Daming Palace was first built in the eighth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. The origin of the "Ming Dynasty" in the Daming Palace came from the Ming chapter in the Book of Songs: Da Ya. It is recorded in the Preface to Mao's Poetry of the Han Dynasty that "King Wen had clear virtue, so God ordered King Wu to be King Wen, King Wu inherited each other, and his virtue became wider and wider, so Ming Dynasty.

The origin of the Ming Dynasty in Daming Palace was taken from the meaning of the poem in the Book of Songs. At that time, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty hoped to encourage and encourage himself with the wise and diligent governance of the King of Zhou. From the origin of the name of Daming Palace, it is enough to prove that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to the construction of Daming Palace at that time.

"Why Daming Palace was named"

After we knew the name of Daming Palace, we probably also learned that the "Ming" in Daming Palace came from the poetry collection in the Book of Songs. Based on this, we also learned that the Ming in Daming Palace did not mean that Daming Palace was built in the Ming Dynasty, but meant virtuous.

In order to spur his belief in diligent governance, Emperor Taizong hoped that he could govern the country well and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, so he called this palace built in the Tang Dynasty the "Daming Palace".

The "Ming" in Daming Palace does not refer to the dynasty in which it was built, but the significance given to the palace by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. It also proves that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was a wise king at that time.

As for whether the Daming Palace was built in the Ming Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, for those who don't yet understand this history, I hope it can help you solve the mystery. (Xiao Xuan/Wen)
