Introduction to the jade wall in front of the Yangxin Hall in the Forbidden City

Hope it helps you. There is also a round jade wall in front of Yangxin Gate, which is embedded in a frame. The front and back of the frame are decorated with 8 small dragons. There are different opinions on the placement of the jade wall here: one is that it plays a decorative role and serves as a screen wall in front of important palaces; another is that the round jade wall symbolizes the integrity of the country; in addition, the jade wall has the function of warding off evil spirits in Feng Shui. Some people say that the jade wall did not exist during the Ming Dynasty and was only installed during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. In addition to the meanings I mentioned, many other sayings have also been found:

1. The eighth episode of the large-scale documentary "Forbidden City" "Jade Hidden in the Forbidden City" explains that when the emperor was sitting in the Yangxin Hall handling government affairs, he could always see the jade not far away opposite, which was as beautiful as jade. Facing the wall and meditating, it reminded the emperor Reflect on your own words and deeds.

2． The round jade wall symbolizes the integrity of the country.

3. The use of round walls and square frames represents the ancients' highest worship of "heaven" and "earth". This not only solved the emperor's embarrassment of "looking at the wall and thinking about his faults", but also showed the emperor's respect for heaven and earth, and also satisfied all the emperor's comrades. The world of your wishes is under your control.

4. Some people say they have seen a saying: the round hole in the green jade is a metaphor for seeing small things and few people in the hole, reminding you not to be a frog at the bottom of a well. See more and listen more. Accept the world.

5. Some people also call it the Nine Dragons Jade Wall, and the other dragon refers to the emperor in the Yangxin Hall. I beg to differ with this statement.

6． Another theory is that the inner circle represents the round well where Concubine Zhen died. Empress Dowager Cixi was afraid that Concubine Zhen's ghost would seek revenge, so she suppressed it with squares symbolizing the four directions of heaven and earth. This is even more far-fetched.
