Feel the unique oriental aesthetics of the Forbidden City and explore the mysterious building "Peony Pavilion" in the Forbidden City

  Different from previous periods, this exploration encounters difficulties at the very beginning.

In the show, Deng Lun and Wei Chen received clues to disagree. One thought that "Peony Pavilion" was related to opera, and the other thought it was a pavilion in the literal sense.

According to "Forbidden City Lun" Deng Lun recalled, in the past three years of exploring the Forbidden City, he had not heard of the building named "Peony Pavilion", but in the first season he saw a high-standard gorgeous costume python gown at the Cultural Relics Hospital. .

At that time, the python robe was badly damaged and it took a year to complete the repair. Deng Lun and the Palace Museum experts made a "pact of python robe" to meet again next year. Will this python robe be the costume of The Peony Pavilion?

How shocking is the restored python robe, can "Forbidden City Lun" get its long-cherished wish?

  After much searching, the three people also found a mysterious building that many people in the Forbidden City did not know about in Qianlong Garden-Ruting.

Walking into the Ruting Pavilion is like being in a garden in the south of the Yangtze River. The exquisite and unique design not only contains the oriental aesthetic appeal, but also hides many secrets.

Different from other pavilions used for viewing in the Forbidden City, the hidden Ru Pavilion is actually a small theater pavilion.

In addition, there is also a magical natural "reverberation equipment" in the pavilion, which can achieve a good sound effect.

What is puzzling is that although Ruting Pavilion was first built in the 37th year of Qianlong, there is no historical record of whether Emperor Qianlong and others have heard of opera here. Whether this building is connected with opera and pavilion is The "Peony Pavilion" they are looking for?

  Being in the mysterious Ruting Pavilion, developer Wei Chen did not forget to stand on the stage and experience it.

At the scene, Wei Chen not only sang his own national style song "Youth Tour", but also brought a Kunqu opera performance, which evoked the constant "wow" in the audience. Deng Lun became an "iron fan" and waved his arms excitedly and praised: "After you sing, I know why the emperor loves to listen to dramas so much. It's really nice."

  What is looking forward to is that Zhong Hua, the designer who once created the popular cultural and creative “Birds and Branches”, will once again create a brand-new cultural and creative boutique in this issue.

This time, Zhong Hua combined the peony flower of national beauty and fragrance with the little lion of the Broken Hong Bridge of the Forbidden City, showing the design power of oriental beauty.

At the same time, students from Beijing Institute of Technology and Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts, based on the team leader’s feedback elements, created two practical and beautiful meta-creatives.

Tsinghua’s students created a practical and beautiful cultural creation that is the most "love it" in winter; BIT students created an exclusive toy for Luban and other cats. Wei Chen praised this type of cultural creation for its It is most common to have western elements, and the students’ creativity reflects the traditional Chinese aesthetics.

Deng Lun and Ma Xueyang expressed feeling that it is "also practical" and "representative."
