Amazing! The Pursuit of Light in the Forbidden City A journey through the most splendid sunshine of winter
🌆I never got to see the first snow, and my annual pass to the Forbidden City is about to expire, so I took some time to visit the winter palace. There aren't many highlights in the Forbidden City during winter, but during the month of the winter solstice, many people come to admire the 'Supreme Brightness' plaque in the Qianqing Palace.

🌄I love the light at 9 am and the light at 3 pm; the former is delicately soft and bright, while the latter is warm and ready to burst forth at a touch. Yesterday, when I went to the library, I happened to flip through an old book by Xiao Xi, which mentioned 'the most splendid sunshine of winter,' and these words just fit the moment.

🌅If you don't know what to photograph in winter, come to the Forbidden City to capture the light! A one-meter gap of sunshine, the covered caisson ceilings, and the resplendent great halls. Here is a time map for you to follow, to be embraced by the warmth of affection.

🕙15:00
West side of Qianqingmen Square: Longzong Gate
The sharp-angled windows cast soft rays of light; at this time, you need to prepare a prop, with princes and princesses, emperors and empresses as the main characters, to highlight the plot and cast light on the cheeks, creating an enigmatic sense of immediacy.

🕙15:10
Former Xingmen
The scene is a bit like the shyness of a first encounter, little knowing that the setting sun is so ambiguous.

🕙15:20
Xiangxumen
Using the door crack, you can capture the stark contrast between the black shadows and the golden door studs, lintels, and nails.

🕙15:30
The Treasure Gallery is also a place where you can make the most of the situation. At this time, the sun is just right, capturing the double-layered red walls, ridge beasts, totems, yellow glazed tiles, and green tiles in one's view. Red represents auspiciousness, blue represents all things under heaven, and green represents endless life; with the light of the setting sun, it's even more dazzling.

🕙15:40
The charm of the Chinese Character Gallery probably lies in the double dragons, the colorful paintings of the Xuanzi, and the window patterns of the double-crossed four-leafed diamond windows. And the reflection formed by the marble columns next to it. At this time, the blue sky plays a significant role, allowing the window patterns to reflect the beautiful scenery outside the window, a touch of blue and a touch of yellow.

🕙15:50
Right side of the Hall of Supreme Harmony
The simple lines sketch out a picture with a full sense of layers, with the chi heads spouting warm sun, dignified and elegant. From below, photograph the 10 ridge beasts and the crane of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in response, and the golden light shining from the right side of the great hall adds warmth to the upcoming sunset glow.

🕙16:00 Duanhong Bridge
There are not many people walking on this road in the winter afternoon, a bit lonely and quiet. At this time, the sunlight is just right, making the little lion look spirited, and the red walls and yellow tiles behind it also come alive with vitality, which is just right to describe the most splendid sunshine of winter.

🕙16:10 Eighteen Locust Trees
The beauty of this road lies in the green lawn, a color that will never go out of style. At this moment (blue, green, red, yellow), all things under heaven meet again at this moment of sunset.
🌃Chasing the light, the scene is beautiful
🎆Just like when we first met

It is highly recommended.
Xiucai said that Li guide took us to visit the Forbidden City in a limited time. It was a very enterprising experience. From the initial worry, I met the boring and rigid guide. I didn't expect to listen to Li guide's explanation. It seems to have an immersive feeling. It is worth recommending. Five-star ⭐ praise!
A place of interest and monument very suitable for bringing children, hehehe, the second time I brought my brother. I have been here twice in total, and I haven’t seen it every time. I still have to work out and work hard to strengthen my strength. I will look at it carefully for the next four hours. Come on.
In order to visit the Forbidden City, I signed up for the elite lecture group that Xiucai said. The lecturer Qi Shuai is knowledgeable. All kinds of historical stories are easy to come by. He is warm and patient and gentle. He takes care of the elderly and children. It is a great experience.
A very good female commentator, warm, thoughtful, the commentator's intelligent eyes, in the cultural relics upstream, she used approachable language, for the audience to show a dusty historical picture. The narrator not only explained the historical background of the artifacts in depth, but also made the audience have a strong interest in those ancient stories through live examples. The knowledgeable and thoughtful service of the narrators is indeed gratifying, and they are able to present complex exhibits to us in a simple and understandable way, allowing us to learn and gain knowledge in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
