What does the palace mean?

The answer to what palace means is as follows:

This palace belongs to the place where the emperor, his queen and children lived before their death. According to legend, the Jade Emperor lived in all 10000 palaces, but in order not to surpass the gods, the Forbidden City built 9999 semi-palaces. The emperor is the body of the sun, so the palace is a mansion in geomantic omen.

In the history of more than 2,000 years in China, hundreds of emperors have emerged, and almost every emperor has built a grand, luxurious and magnificent mausoleum, which is built on auspicious soil and geomantic treasures. In the emperor's mind, the two are equally important.

In the eyes of the world, it seems that people tend to pay more attention to the palace and despise the imperial tomb. That's understandable. From the perspective of historical research, the importance of the imperial tomb is not worse than that of the imperial palace, or even more valuable. A palace can be used by many emperors or even several dynasties.

China Palace experienced Xianyang Palace and Epang Palace in Qin Dynasty, Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace in Western Han Dynasty, Nangong Palace and Gong Bei Palace in Eastern Han Dynasty, Jiankang Palace in Six Dynasties, Daxing Palace and Weizicheng in Sui Dynasty, Daming Palace and Shangyang Palace in Tang Dynasty, Song Palace, Yuan Palace and Nanjing Palace in Ming Dynasty, and Jing Palace in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Palaces can be passed down for decades or even centuries. The most representative of imperial power is Bao Xi, 20 square Bao Xi in Ming Dynasty and 25 square Bao Xi in Qing Dynasty.

The tomb is not like this. An emperor and a mausoleum were built in different times. At that time, the country's political, economic, military, cultural, scientific and technological conditions were different. Every emperor's hobbies and interests are different, so every imperial tomb has the distinctive characteristics of that era. Therefore, from the perspective of historical research, the imperial tomb is more important than the palace.
