Recently I spent over three hours looking, reading and enjoying the exhibits at the National Palace Museum located in the suburbs.
Many local and foreign visitors go there daily to take pictures outside and spend endless hours inside. No cameras are allowed inside, but you can buy you can buy colored slides of the exhibits in the gift shop downstairs. There is a very large collection of beautiful jades. Also, there is an ancient bronze vessel exhibit. Some of the exhibits are changed regularly for special collections such as porcelain and silk paintings.
My attention was mainly in the room with the wall-size slide show describing some archeological discoveries from pre-history tine. Also, the oracle bones’ exhibit was very good; there seemed to be an endless amount of rare, beautiful, interesting, and fascinating things.
what strikes one first in a birds -eye view of beijing proper is a vast tract of golden roofs flashing brilliantly in the sun with purple walls occasionally emerging amid them and a stretch of luxuriant tree leaves flanking on each side. that is the former imperial palace, popularly known as the forbidden city, from which twenty-four emperors of the ming and qing dynasties ruled china for some 500 years--from1420 to 1911. the ming emperor yong le, who usurped the throne from his nephew and made beijing the capital, ordered its construction, on which approximately 10,000 artists and a million workmen toiled for 14 years from 1408 to 1420. at present, the palace is an elaborate museum that presents the largest and most complete ensemble of traditional architecture complex and more than 900,000 pieces of court treasures in all dynasties in china.
located in the center of beijing, the entire palace area, rectangular in shape and 72 hectares in size, is surrounded by walls ten meters high and a moat 52 meters wide. at each corner of the wall stands a watchtower with a double-eave roof covered with yellow glazed tiles.the main buildings, the six great halls, one following the other, are set facing south along the central north-south axis from the meridian gate, the south entrance, to shenwumen, the great gate piercing in the north wall. on either side of the palace are many comparatively small buildings. symmetrically in the northeastern section lie the six eastern palaces and in the northwestern section the six western palaces. the palace area is divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner palace. the former consists of the first three main halls, where the emperor received his courtiers and conducted grand ceremonies, while the latter was the living quarters for the imperial residence. at the rear of the inner palace is the imperial garden where the emperor and his family sought recreation.
the main entrance to the palace is the meridian gate(1), which was so named because the emperor considered himself the "son of the heaven" and the palace the center of the universe, hence the north-south axis as the meridian line going right through the palace. the gate is crowned with five towers, commonly known as the five-phoenix towers(2), which were installed with drums and bells. when the emperor went to the temple of heaven, bells were struck to mark this important occasion. when he went to the ancestral temple, it was the drums that were beaten to publicize the event.beyond the meridian gate unfolds a vast courtyard across which the inner golden water river runs from east to west. the river is spanned by five bridges, which were supposed to be symbols of the five virtues preached by confucius--benevolence, righteousness, rites, intelligence, and fidelity(3).
at the north end of the courtyard is a three-tiered white marble terrace, seven meters above the ground, on which, one after another, stand three majestic halls; the hall of supreme harmony(4), the hall of complete harmony(5), and the hall of preserving harmony(6).the hall of supreme harmony, rectangular in shape, 27 meters in height, 2,300 square meters in area, is the grandest and most important hall in the palace complex. it is also chinas largest existing palace of wood structure and an outstanding example of brilliant color combinations. this hall used to be the throne hall for ceremonies which marked great occasions: the winter solstice, the spring festival, the emperors birthday and enthronement, and the dispatch of generals to battles, etc. on such occasions there would be an imperial guard of honor standing in front of the hall that extended all the way to the meridian gate.
on the north face of the hall in the center of four coiled-golden dragon columns is the "golden throne", which was carved out of sandalwood. the throne rests on a two-meter-high platform with a screen behind it. in front of it, to the left and right, stand ornamental cranes, incense burners and other ornaments. the dragon columns entwined with golden dragons measure one meter in diameter. the throne itself, the platform and the screen are all carved with dragon designs. high above the throne is a color-painted coffered ceiling which changes in shape from square to octagonal to circular as it ascends layer upon layer. the utmost central vault is carved with the gilded design of a dragon toying with pearls. when the emperor mounted the throne, gold bells and jade chimes sounded from the gallery, and clouds of incense rose from the bronze cranes and tortoises and tripods outside the hall on the terrace. the aura of majesty created by the imposing architecture and solemn ritual were designed to keep the subjects of the "son of the heaven" in awe and reverence.
the hall of complete harmony is smaller and square with windows on all sides. here the emperor rehearsed for ceremonies. it is followed by the hall of preserving harmony in which banquets and imperial examinations were held.behind the hall of preserving harmony lies a huge marble ramp with intertwining clouds and dragons carved in relief. the slab, about 6.5 meters long, 3 meters wide and 250 tons in weight, is placed between two flights of marble steps along which the emperors sedan was carried up or down the terrace. it is the largest piece of stone carving in the imperial palace. quarried in the mountains scores of kilometers southwest of beijing, this gigantic stone was moved to the city by sliding it over a specially paved ice road in winter. to provide enough water to build the ice road, wells were sunk at very 500 meters along the way.the three halls of the inner palace are replicas of the three halls in the front, but smaller in size. they are the palace of heavenly purity(7), the hall of union(8), and the palace of earthly tranquility(9).
the palace of heavenly purity was once the residence of the ming emperors and the first two of the qing emperors. then the qing emperor yong zheng moved his residence to the palace of mental cultivation and turned it into an audience hall to receive foreign envoys and handled the state affairs. the promotion and demotion of officials were also decided in this hall. after the emperors death his coffin was placed here for a 49-day period of mourning.the palace of union was the empresss throne room and the hall of earthly tranquility, once a private living room for the empress, was partitioned. the west chamber served religious purposes and the east one was the bridal chamber where the newly married emperor and empress spent their first two nights after their wedding.
the imperial garden was laid out during the early ming dynasty. hundreds of pines and cypresses offer shade while various flowers give colors to the garden all year round and fill the air with their fragrance. in he center of the garden is the hall of imperial peace, a daoist temple, with a flat roof slightly sloping down to the four eaves. this type of roof was rare in ancient chinese architecture. in he northeastern corner of the garden is a rock hill, known as the hill of the piled-up wonders, which is topped with a pavilion. at the foot of the hill are two fountains which jet two columns of water high into the air. it is said that on the ninth night of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the empress would mound the hill to enjoy the autumn scene. it is also believed that climbing to a high place on that day would keep people safe from contagious diseases.
the six western palaces were residences for empresses and concubines. they are kept in their original way for show. the six eastern palaces were the residences for them too. but now they serve as special museums: the museum of bronze, the museum of porcelain and the museum of arts and crafts of the ming and qing dynasties. in the northeastern-most section of the inner palace are the museum of traditional chinese paintings and the museum of jewelry and treasures where rare pieces of imperial collections are on display.
now the forbidden city is no longer forbidding, but inviting. a visit to the palace museum will enrich the visitors knowledge of history, economy, politics, arts as well as architecture in ancient china.
Lying at the center of Beijing, the Forbidden City, called Gu Gong, in Chinese, was the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now known as the Palace Museum, it is to the north of Tian an men Square. Rectangular in shape, it is the worlds largest palace complex and covers 74 hectares. Surrounded by a six meter deep moat and a ten meter high wall are 9,999 buildings. The wall has a gate on each side. Opposite the
Tian an men Gate, to the north is the Gate of Devine Might (Shenwumen), which faces Jingshan Park. The distance between these two gates is 960 meters, while the distance between the gates in the east and west walls is 750 meters. There are unique and delicately structured towers on each of the four corners of the curtain wall. These afford views over both the palace and the city outside. The Forbidden City is divided into two parts. The southern section, or the Outer Court was where the emperor exercised his supreme power over the nation. The northern section, or the Inner Court was where he lived with his royal family. Until 1924 when the last emperor of China was driven from the Inner Court, fourteen emperors of the Ming dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing dynasty had reigned here. Having been the imperial palace for some five centuries, it houses numerous rare treasures and curiosities. Listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1987, the Palace Museum is now one of the most popular tourist attractions world wide.
Construction of the palace complex began in 1407, the 5th year of the Yongle reign of the third emperor of the Ming dynasty. It was
completed fourteen years later in 1420. It was said that a million workers including one hundred thousand artisans were driven into the long-term hard labor. Stone needed was quarried from Fangshan, a suburb of Beijing. It was said a well was dug every fifty meters along the road in order to pour water onto the road in winter to slide huge stones on ice into the city. Huge amounts of timber and other materials were freighted from
faraway provinces. Ancient Chinese people displayed their very considerable skills in building the Forbidden City. Take the grand red city wall for example. It has an 8.6 meters wide base reducing to 6.66 meters wide at the top. The angular shape of the wall totally frustrates attempts to climb it. The bricks were made from white lime and glutinous rice while the cement is made from glutinous rice and egg whites. These incredible materials make the wall extraordinarily strong.
Since yellow is the symbol of the royal family, it is the dominant color in the Forbidden City. Roofs are built with yellow glazed tiles;
decorations in the palace are painted yellow; even the bricks on the ground are made yellow by a special process. However, there is one exception. Wenyuange, the royal library, has a black roof. The reason is that it was believed black represented water then and could extinguish fire.
Nowadays, the Forbidden City, or the Palace Museum is open to tourists from home and abroad. Splendid painted decoration on these royal architectural wonders, the grand and deluxe halls, with their surprisingly magnificent treasures will certainly satisfy "modern civilians".
明清两代皇帝居住的宫城叫做紫禁城。紫禁城有两座，一在北京，一在南京。南京紫禁城是明太祖朱元璋和建文帝朱允 4位皇帝和清代10位皇帝。他们在这里君临天下，统治中国491年，将*五个世纪。
这座故宫为什么称为紫禁城呢？原来，中国古代天文学说，根据对太空天体的长期观察，认为紫微星垣居于中天，位置永恒不变，是天帝所居。因而，把天帝所居的天宫谓之紫宫，有“紫微正中”之说。
封建皇帝自称是天帝的儿子，是真龙天子；而他们所居住的皇宫，被比喻为天上的紫宫。他们更希望自己身居紫宫，可以施政以德，四方归化，八面来朝，这到江山永固，以维护长期统治的目的。
明清两代的皇帝，出于维护他们自己的权威和尊严以及考虑自身的安全，所修建的皇宫，既富丽堂皇，又森严壁垒。这座城池，不仅宫殿重重，楼阁栉比，并围以10米多高的城墙和52米宽的护城河，而且哨岗林立，戒备森严。*民百姓不用说观赏一下楼台殿阁，就是看一看门额殿角，也是绝对不允许的。
明清皇帝及其眷属居住的皇宫，除了为他们服务的宫女、太监、侍卫之外，只有被召见的官员以及被特许的人员才能进入。这里是外人不能逾越雷池一步禁区。因此，明清两代的皇宫，既喻为紫宫，又是禁地，故旧称紫禁城。
北京紫禁城占地面积724250*方米，还没把护城河和护城河与城墙的绿化带计算在内。宫殿房屋建筑面积为155000*立米。紫禁城是一座长方形的城池，南北长961米，东西宽753米，四周有高10米多的城墙围绕，城墙的外沿周长为3428米（城墙外有宽52米的护城河，是护卫紫禁城的重要设施）。城墙四边各有一门，南为午门，北为神武门，东为东华门，西为西华门。城墙的四角有四座设计精巧的角楼。
北京紫禁城筹建于明成祖永乐(公元1404年～公元1424年)五年，兴建于永乐十五年至十八年。整个营造工程由侯爵陈圭督造，具体负责是规划师吴中。紫禁城位于都城正中，中轴线穿过皇城正中，也就是穿过紫禁城中三大殿、三大宫。紫禁城正门为正南门午门，午门是宫城中最高的门座，朝中大赦、献俘等重大仪式都在午门举行。其北门为神武门，东门为东华门，西门为西华门。
紫禁城作为明清两代的宫城，也分为外朝、内廷两个部分。外朝是皇帝办公的地方。举凡国家的重大活动和各种礼仪，都在外朝举行。外朝由***——端门——午门——太和殿——中和殿——保和殿组成的中轴线和中轴线两旁的殿阁廊庑组成。内廷是皇帝后妃生活的地方，

——描写北京故宫的优秀作文实用五份
今天的北京天气异常炎热，但我们还是决定先去世界闻名的`故宫。到了大门口我才知道什么叫人山人海，我都想打退堂鼓了，不过眼前气势宏伟的故宫还是强烈地吸引着我们艰难地在人群中前行。
终于进入故宫，租了一个电子导游器，那一个个生动的讲解仿佛把我带回到几百年前。故宫是明、清两代的皇宫，又称紫禁城。明代1406年开始建造，历时14年完工。在这五百余年中，共有24位皇帝曾在这里生活居住和对全国实行统治。故宫里最吸引人的建筑是三座大殿：太和殿、中和殿和保和殿。走到太和殿前宽阔的空地上，皇帝为了庄严和安全没有种一颗树，再看看脚下已经被腐蚀的土砖，我想可能那些改变中国历史的皇帝也曾在这里走过，他们要是复活看到这么多人会赶尽杀绝还是热情相待呢？
暑假，我和奶奶、姑姑、姐姐一起去北京玩，第一站就是游故宫。
听导游说，故宫非常大，有12万*方米，故宫的房子也很多，一共有999间半房子。为什么有999间半房子，据说的天上玉帝有1000间房子，为了对天神的尊敬，所以故宫就比天上少半间。
进入故宫所要经过的第一座城门是***。走进***，就能看到一座高大的城墙，这就是午门。午门有三个门洞，在古时候，只有皇帝才能走正中间的那一个最大的门洞。在午门之后就是整座故宫的核心部分太和殿、中和殿和保和殿，明清的皇帝就生活在这三座宫殿之中。故宫博物院里有些铜锅，锅的两侧都有一条金龙，可这些金龙和锅上都有着一道又一道的刀痕，导游说，这是因为八国联军攻打北京时，把故宫里能带走的东西全都带走了，这些锅太重了，他们就用刀把镀在锅和龙身上的金子刮下来带走，因此，在它们的身上就留下了这些刀痕。看到这些，我真恨那些外国军队。
我们还去了皇上、皇后的寝室、皇帝上朝的地方，傍晚时分，我们才依依不舍地离开了故宫。
说到北京故宫，那是人人皆知，它是北京的象征。暑假期间，我和妈妈在导游的带领下一起去探究故宫的历史。
刚走到神武门，我一抬眼就看到了日晷。它是古代测量时间的工具，上面刻着子时等十二个时辰。它指针的阴影投在哪里，就表示现在是哪个时辰。
我们沿着故宫中轴线继续前行，就来到了富丽堂皇的大殿——太和殿。听讲解员说，它就是我们经常听到的金銮殿，也是皇帝举行各种大典的地方。我在门口朝殿内望去，又高又粗的柱子通体呈红色，上面刻有金雕花纹。金色的御座前有精細美观的仙鹤、炉鼎，座后有精雕细刻的围屏。整个太和殿金碧辉煌，庄严绚丽，犹如仙境之中的琼楼仙阙，令我们啧啧赞叹。
走过太和殿，我们来到了珍宝阁。据统计，故宫共有180余万件藏品，在珍宝阁**展出了400余件难得一见的珍品，而其中最吸引我的就属凤冠与金嵌珍珠天球仪了。在珍宝阁中展出的两顶凤冠，分别是十二龙九凤冠与三龙二凤冠，它们色泽鲜艳、精美绝伦。而金嵌珍珠天球仪是乾隆时期的稀世珍宝，可以直观、形象地了解日、月、星辰的相互位置以及运动规律。它以珐琅盘为底，以缠枝花纹为装饰，球体上九条龙形状各异，顾盼有神，是绝无仅有的完美艺术品！
故宫这部奇书，展示了中华民族辉煌的文明，展现了古代劳动人民的智慧与伟大，中华五千年悠久的历史文化值得我们每个人传承与发扬！
今年国庆节，我们一家来到了北京旅游。
到了北京，一定要看的当然是故宫了。一下高铁，我们不等去宾馆放下沉甸甸的行李，便风尘仆仆地赶往故宫排队入场——要知道，在国庆节前来旅游的人可是出奇的多。做足了心理准备的我还是一下子被眼前的景象惊呆了！人群好似一条将要冲进故宫的长长巨龙，挤满了街道，人之多，真正谓“举袖成幕，挥汗成雨。”挤进人群中，更是人声鼎沸，男的、女的、老的、少的、高的、矮的，各种各样的人都在这入宫的长龙中蠕动着，喧哗着。虽然每个地方都有警察维持秩序不至于混乱，却也还是吵闹异常，老人的咳嗽声，女人的尖声尖气的`抱怨声，小孩那震耳欲聋的啼哭声，一起组成了一首嘈杂的交响曲，令我心乱如麻。如此无聊，不如自己找点乐子吧。想着，我便观察起了排队的人们，他们有的掏出手机低头刷起了微信；有的耐不住长久的等候，着急地跺着双脚，嘴里还嘟囔着什么；有的拿出了折叠小凳，打牌聊天，玩得不亦乐乎；还有两位小朋友挥舞着拍子，竟打起了羽毛球，真是热闹！经过若干小时的等候，我们终于进入了故宫。
故宫里的展品的确令人叹为观止，但这长达数小时的排队大大地败了我的玩兴，实为遗憾！不过现在网络发展迅猛，故宫已经全面开放了网上购票，再也不用去现场排队了，再也不会出现如此“壮观”而可怕的景象了。有网络，真好！
今年暑假，爸爸妈妈和我来到北京的故宫游玩。
故宫旧称紫荆城，是清明两代皇宫，中国现存最大最完整的古建筑群，故宫占地12万*方米，屋宇九千九百九十九间半，建筑面积15.5万*方米为长方形城池，四角矗立、风格绚丽的屹立的角楼，墙外有宽52米的护城河环绕，形成一个森严壁垒的城堡。建筑物气势雄伟，豪华壮丽，中国古当代艺术的精华，于1995年被联合国教科文组列为“世界文化遗产”。
我们来到故宫的正门，故宫的正门就是午门无门从正面看有三个门洞，可走*一看却成了五个门洞，导游告诉我们这就是“三明五暗”令我们印象最深的是太和殿，太和殿事故共中最大的建筑物，他是皇帝每天上朝朝政的地方，他的屋顶脊上还有一个高3。36米的大吻，往下还有一个垂脊兽，在我国古代异兽越多代表殿里等级越高。殿里有龙椅、屏风，并立有六根金柱，每个布置都很有意义，看到这里，我感到好像看到朝中文武百官朝拜的情景。
这次故宫游让我知道许多可贵的知识，里面还有许多宫殿我不一一细讲，有机会你们自己去细细游赏。
——描写北京故宫的作文 (菁华5篇)
今天的北京天气异常炎热，但我们还是决定先去世界闻名的故宫。到了大门口我才知道什么叫人山人海，我都想打退堂鼓了，不过眼前气势宏伟的故宫还是强烈地吸引着我们艰难地在人群中前行。
终于进入故宫，租了一个电子导游器，那一个个生动的讲解仿佛把我带回到几百年前。故宫是明、清两代的皇宫，又称紫禁城。明代1406年开始建造，历时14年完工。在这五百余年中，共有24位皇帝曾在这里生活居住和对全国实行统治。故宫里最吸引人的建筑是三座大殿：太和殿、中和殿和保和殿。
走到太和殿前宽阔的空地上，皇帝为了庄严和安全没有种一颗树，再看看脚下已经被腐蚀的土砖，我想可能那些改变*历史的皇帝也曾在这里走过，他们要是复活看到这么多人会赶尽杀绝还是热情相待呢?
今天，8月5日，我终于见到了令我梦寐以求的北京故宫，古称“紫禁城”。听说故宫是世界现存最大，最完整的木结构古建筑群，这更加增加了我对故宫的好奇心。让我们走进故宫，走进这个古老的紫禁城。
进入午门，走过金水桥，便能看见一座富丽堂皇的宫殿——太和殿。第一次见到如此壮观的建筑，不禁让我倒吸一口凉气。“这么的的宫殿！”我们大声地叫了出来。开始我和不少游客都认为太和殿是皇帝上早朝和处理朝政的宫殿，但是听了导游阿姨的介绍后才明白：太和殿是举行大典的地方，明、清两代皇帝登基，宣布即位诏书，皇帝大婚，册立皇后，命将出征，每年元旦、冬至、万寿等节日都要在此受百官的朝贺及赐宴的地方。走出太和殿，走过中和殿、保和殿和乾清门就来到乾清宫了。乾清宫是明清两代皇帝在紫禁城中居住和处理日常政事的地方。
它是后三宫之首，位于乾清门内。“乾”是“天”的意思，“清”是“透彻”的意思，一是象征透彻的天空，不浑不浊，象征国家安定；二是象征皇帝的所作所为象清澈的天空一样坦荡，没有干任何见不得人的事。坐落在汉白玉石台基之上的乾清宫内铺满了金砖，使宫殿更加光彩夺目，在殿内的正中央有一个金色的宝座，宝座正上方写着“正大光明”四个字。“金色”的砖加上金色的宝座，乾清宫的一切都使它金碧辉煌。
再往前走就来到了御花园，御花园内的建筑对称而不呆板，舒展而不凌乱，无论是亭台还是倚墙，都是那么的玲珑别致！园内到处都是怪石，如绛雪轩前摆放的一段木化石做成的盆景，乍看似一段久经曝晒的朽木，敲之却铿然有声，确为石质，尤显珍贵。
故宫一游使我流连忘返，故宫的建筑实在是无以伦比的杰作，真是一个奇迹！
8月7日，我们游览了被誉为“东方最大的宫殿”的故宫。
穿过*，游人如潮，都向故宫涌去。我们随着人流兴致勃勃地由南向北依故宫中轴线游览。
过了端门，就是故宫的正门——午门了。午门有五个洞。其*面为凹形，宏伟壮丽。午门后有五座精巧的汉白玉拱桥通往太和门。午门是皇帝下诏书、下令出征的地方。午门当中的正门*时只有皇帝才可以出入，皇帝大婚时皇后进一次，殿试考中状元、榜眼、探花的三人可以从此门走出一次。
我们先游览前朝三大殿，走进太和门，一眼就可望见一座富丽堂皇的建筑，就是太和殿了。太和殿，俗称“金銮殿”，太和殿高35。05米，东西63米，南北35米，面积2377㎡。长宽之比为9：5，寓意为九五之尊，面积是紫禁城诸殿中最大的一座，太和殿有直径达1米的大柱72根，其中6根围绕御座的是沥粉金漆的蟠龙柱。殿内有沥粉金漆木柱和精致的蟠龙藻井，殿中间高2米的台上安放着封建皇权的象征——金漆雕龙宝座，御座前有造型美观的仙鹤、炉、鼎，背后是雕龙屏。太和殿是故宫中最大的木结构建筑，是故宫最壮观的建筑，也是*最大的木构殿宇。整个大殿装饰得金碧辉煌，庄严绚丽。太和殿是皇帝举行重大典礼的地方，皇帝即位、生日、婚礼、元旦等都在这里庆祝。看到这么雄伟壮丽的宫殿，我会想到：五百多前，无数劳动人民深入原始森林，从四川、广东等地采回木材，历尽千辛万苦从距京郊二三百里的山区，运回重达几吨几十吨甚至几百吨的石材，精心施工，用自己的心血和汗水，筑造了这样一座无与伦比的古代建筑杰作，我们的祖先真了不起！
在保和殿西庑《天府永藏展》，陈列着皇室用过的金银玉器和地方官员进献的贡品。有大玉盘、金碗、如意、瓷器、紫砂壶、投壶等皇室用的生活器具，有的晶莹剔透，有的雕刻精美，有的古朴大方，显示出皇室奢侈的生活；也有浑天仪、康熙用过的几何书和画图用具等，让我们感受到科技的发展和皇帝的勤政好学。
最后，我们重点游览了御花园。御花园是皇帝游玩的.地方，有岁寒不凋的苍松翠柏，有秀石迭砌的玲珑假山，楼、阁、亭、榭掩映其间，优美而恬静。那儿有座堆秀山，高达数十米，山上建有亭子，每到重阳节，皇帝就登高远望，尽赏园林美景。
游过故宫，我不禁为故宫杰出的建筑艺术成就而感到骄傲，也为皇帝无比奢华的生活而感慨，更为我国古代劳动人民的高度智能和创造才能而自豪！
历史车轮碾下一条长长的轨迹，故宫经历一次次风雨，屹立于北京*漫长六百年。所有繁华的词语都是用来修饰浩大的紫禁城。我踏入北京故宫，人群的拥挤使我匆匆瞥过午门一眼，却在内心禁不住的感叹它的三峦环抱，五峰雄起，气势雄伟。
继续跟随导游走向太和殿，屡经焚烧，殿内却依然富丽堂皇，皇帝的龙椅在殿中显得那么威严不可侵犯，不论历经多少年的沧桑、入侵，它给人的感觉依旧展现高贵，威德通四方。我并未在太和殿停留多久。我向往的是每任明清皇帝批阅奏折的乾清宫。
乾清宫檐下上层单翘双昂七踩斗栱，下层单翘单昂五彩斗栱，饰金龙和玺彩画，三交六菱花隔扇门窗。堂皇背后却是悲惨含冤的“壬寅宫变”的发生地，当年十余宫女因不堪劳累企图**嘉靖帝，后因胆小宫女告到方皇后里，嘉靖帝被方皇后解救。
但嘉靖帝宠爱的并不知情的曹端妃却因为方皇后的嫉妒怀恨，被凌迟处死。我不知道当时曹端妃真实的心理，但我也敢揣测几分，她可能有希望在里，希望皇帝可以解救她，但她也是绝望的，与她相伴的枕边人迟迟未醒，自己会被残忍的凌迟处死。皇帝是深喜端妃的，等他醒来，宠爱的妃子不在，他剩下的流年只会羽化成思念，沙漏流转的时间已是人世变迁，纵然他是皇，也无法阻止宫斗和爱妃的离去。权位金钱是无用的，它可以买到国家的安康，却从来没有一位皇帝靠着权位得到真情，仍是要向百姓一样经历生死。恶有恶报，方皇后最后也在寝殿被烧死。许是嘉靖帝的报复，亦或上天佛祖的忍耐至极。
紫禁城固然壮观令世人惊叹，但它的背后也只是百姓的眼泪、汗水；历任皇帝妃子大臣的丧命之地。
怀着沉重的心，走入御花园。古柏老槐与奇花异草，星罗棋布的亭阁与横纵交错的石子路，不失宫廷大气，也不失幽静典雅。春日的海棠花飘落，宛如红色雪花一般，悠悠然的落下，不带一分沉重，如此，我的心情也瞬间开朗起来。从未见过紫色的藤萝，只是满眼紫色，好像是大瀑布一般的落下。这里风景优异，令我流连忘返。不谓乾隆皇帝写下“负冰锦鬣游文沼，试暖文禽绕鱼堂”此句。
参观完故宫，我真的犹为感到自豪，中华的历史不谓5000年，人民是智慧的，但在美丽的世界背后也总会有不为人知的百姓的付出。富丽堂皇的故宫给我留下了如此深的印象，比任何其它景点的印象都要深刻。
今天我们六年级到故宫参观游览。游玩过后我深有感触。
听导游说，故宫旧称紫禁城。是明清两代皇宫，*现存最大最完整的古建筑群。1988年被联合国教科文组织列为“世界文化遗产”。故宫占地72万*方米，屋宇9999间半，建筑面积15。5万*方米为一长方形城池，四角矗立、风格绮丽的角楼，墙外有宽52米的护城河环绕，形成一个森严壁垒的城堡。 一进故宫午门，就看到五座精巧的汉白玉拱桥气势雄伟、豪华壮丽，不愧是*古代建筑艺术的精华。过了太和门后就是太和殿，俗称金銮殿，在故宫的中心部位，是故宫三大殿之一，是皇上办理朝政的地方，建在高约5米高的汉白玉台基上。接着就是中和殿，是皇上准备祭祀用品的地方。然后是保和殿，是皇上招待宾客的地方。径直向前走是乾清宫，在故宫内庭最前面。皇上在此批阅奏报，选派官吏和召见臣下，也是皇上的住处。交泰殿在乾清宫和坤宁宫之间，含天地交合、安康美满之意。
当然，我最喜欢的要数御花园了。园中有许多殿宇和树石，都是十五世纪明代遗物。御花园原为帝王后妃休息、游赏而建。园内建筑布局对称而不呆板，舒展而不零散，各式建筑，无论是依墙而建还是亭台的独立，均玲珑别致，疏密合度，布局紧凑，古典富丽。园内青翠的松、柏、竹间点缀着山石，形成四季长青的园林景观。我们在澄瑞亭里坐下歇息，澄瑞亭跨于水池之上，只在朝南的一面伸出抱厦，造型纤巧，十分精美。还有与多人在结了冰的水池上掷硬币，保*安。这里不但建筑好，假山、盆景也是一绝。山势险峻，磴道陡峭，妙趣无穷。
故宫一游使我流连忘返。故宫的建筑实在是无以伦比的杰作，它真是一个奇迹！我们*五千年的文化博大精深，我们应该为古人建造这么宏伟壮丽的宫殿感到骄傲和自豪。同时，我们也有责任保护这些文物古迹不受到破坏，让祖国五千年的灿烂文明万古流传。
——描写北京故宫的作文300字 (菁华3篇)
上次走到*前，合了影留了念，于是我们便走进*城楼，来到故宫的午门前。
我们买了票进了故宫。我早听说过故宫是最大的也是保存最完好的古宫殿群，今日一见果然名不虚传。放眼望去，一座座金碧辉煌的宫殿相连在一起，真是壮观极了。
我们从一个古色古香的门进去，展现在我眼前的是我经常在电视上看到的景象。但是这样宏伟的气息只有置身其中才能感受到。
我被眼前的景象给陶醉了，不时地拿出相机拍照。故宫里的建筑有许多都在整修，所以我们只能玩到一小部分。虽然是一小部分，也够我们玩一阵子。
我来到太和殿旁，导游介绍说我们脚下的青砖铺的方法也是有门道的。它们是横七竖八铺的，防止有刺客刺杀皇上。导游还说现在晚上在故宫中会放28只经过训练的狼狗来保护文物。来到御花园，只见到处都是参天古树，有的都用架子支撑着。里面还有愈多奇形怪状的大石头。
最后我从玄武门走出。啊！故宫你真雄伟。
10月4日早上，我们先坐地铁4号线再转1号线来到了*，今天我们去参观故宫博物馆。
我们第一个看到的是端门，端门城楼中间挂着一幅很大很大的*画像，左右两边各是一行字，一个是“中华人民共和国万岁”，另一个是“世界人民大团结万岁”。第二道门是午门，妈妈说这个地方是以前砍头的地方，很多的人被皇帝在这里砍了头。第三道门是太和门，里面有太和殿，是皇帝搞庆祝活动的地方，也是故宫最高最大的一个殿。再进去就是皇帝的后宫，很多东西都是用金子做的，其中有一个叫储秀宫的，听说是慈禧太后住过的，爸爸说这个慈禧太后非常坏，她只知道吃喝玩乐。
还有一个御花园，里面的树非常的大，都已经有几百年了，还有很多假山，假山上有亭子，很多人在上面拍照。还看到了用整块石头刻成的九条龙，这个有200吨重，还有古代的电话机。
走*故宫，走进古老的紫禁城，这座堪称是全世界规模最大、保存最完好的古代皇宫建筑群，占地面积15万*方米，是*古代建筑最高水*的杰作。进入午门，走过象征“五德”的金水桥，就到达了太和门前…而后就是最具吸引力的太和殿、中和殿、保和殿三座宝殿，均是建在汉白玉的石基上。大家逐一参观了东西六宫和御花园，最漂亮的地方当属御花园，它以古木繁花、亭台楼阁、嶙峋山石的独特魅力而闻名四方，尤其是在京城的最美四月天，繁花似锦，满目苍翠。此次游览故宫给大家留下了深刻的印象，秩序井然的重重宫阙，红墙黄瓦的浓重色彩，呈现着中华历史文明的辉煌。
故宫院长李文儒在《说故宫》里谈到：“伟大的`建筑来自伟大的规划，伟大的规划源于伟大的文化。”故宫是历史文化的结晶。游览参观结束后，大家纷纷表示不虚此行，不只用眼睛，更是用心体会故宫文化，感受传统文化的博大精深，感慨中华民族的伟大！此行不仅扩展了大家的知识面，更提高了思想深度和民族自豪感，增强了大家的凝聚力！今后大家会更多了解历史知识，传承中华民族传统美德，为建立和谐社会、发展祖国未来贡献自己的力量！

故宫为我国明清两朝的皇宫，也是现存最大、最完整的古建筑群。所以我们在游览时应不乱扔垃圾、不触摸物品，这样才能欣赏到有历史气息的故宫。
进了太和殿的大门，展现在大家面前的便是一座座雄伟的宫殿。正前面那座最大的木构建筑，很是引人注目，那就是太和殿。它是皇权的象征，每当有重大活动时，皇帝都在此举行。后面的一排金碧辉煌的宫殿，分别是中和殿、保和殿。
游完了辉煌的太和殿，再向北走，我们能感觉到这儿的生活气息很浓。这里的一切起居用品在当时都是堪称一流的，后宫里的户外养心之处是御花园。它的格局，布局，古色古香，，花草树木点缀其间，亭台阁楼相依相存，是个精心雅致，赏心悦目的好地方。大家跟着我走，故宫东边这座角楼和其他三座角楼遥相呼应。它们的造型奇特，精美绝伦，与周围环境构成一幅完美的图画。
这气魄雄伟的工程凝结了多少劳动人民的血汗和智慧啊！
今天，我有幸游览了故宫，我从小就听说北京有个帝王的府邸——故宫，今天看到，更觉似曾相识，即使下着大雨，也丝毫没减弱我兴奋的心情。
来到故宫，首先映入眼帘的便是故宫那数不清的红墙黄瓦的府宅，这样的建筑在古代可是只有皇帝才能享有。听导游介绍，故宫足足有72万*方米，15万*方米建筑面积以及8700多间殿宇楼阁。并且故宫周围还环绕有10米多高的城墙，成长方形，每边的宫墙四隅上还建有4座角楼，墙外又有52米宽的护城河，使故宫自成防御体系，是一座名副其实的“城中之城”。
我们从故宫的北门神武门进入，神武门原为玄武门，因与清代康熙皇帝之名玄烨有所避讳，故改为神武门。神武门与其名字相对应，威武神气，有如拔地而起之势，北靠水，南护城。穿过神武门，眼前出现了一座小门，门口有一对镇守的石狮子，名为顺贞门，此门为皇帝出宫之用。穿过顺贞门，眼前出现了皇家。
大家好，我是北京旅行社的导游，名叫成思瑶，欢迎来自济南的朋友来到北京参观故宫，我会陪同大家一起游览故宫，大家在参观的过程中有疑问的地方可以问我。
故宫建于公元1406年，南北长961米，东西宽763米，面积约723600*方米，大小院子有90多座，房屋有980多座，共计7078间。故宫的前半部分建筑形象是严肃、庄严、壮丽、雄伟的，以象征皇上的至高无上。后半部分叫内廷，则富有生活气息，建筑多事自成院落，有花园、书斋、馆榭、山石等。
现在我们马上就到乾清宫了。乾清宫是内廷的正殿，高20米，殿的正中央有宝座，内有“正大光明”匾，两头有暖阁。清康熙前此处为皇帝居住和处理政务之处。清雍正后皇帝移居养心殿，但仍在此处批阅奏折、选派官吏和召见下臣。请大家注意，在解散之后，不要随便触摸这些古老的文物，以防破损。
下面我们要去御花园，请大家排好队。
谢谢大家今天的参观，再见！
上次走到***前，合了影留了念，于是我们便走进***城楼，来到故宫的午门前。

北京的故宫是个美丽的宫殿。
故宫是明、清时代的皇宫，又名“紫禁城”。是世界上目前保存最完整的古代建筑群。
走进***和端门，就来到了闻名遐迩的午门。午门，传说中是斩人的地方，但事实并不是这样，其实皇帝说的“拖出午门，斩！”这句话的真正含义是“把犯人带出午门，到刑场上斩了！”午门的前面有三道门，后面有五道门，正所谓“明三暗五”。
走过午门，再穿过一条像碧玉一样绿的河，就来到了太和门。走进太和门，就来到了赫赫有名的太和殿。金碧辉煌的瓦片，汉白玉做的台阶，非常雄伟。大殿里有一把纯金龙椅，那便是皇帝的宝座。
从太和殿往后走。就来到了著名的中和殿与保和殿。中和殿是皇帝的“休息室”；而保和殿则是一个“考场”。
故宫还有许许多多美丽的地方，说也说不尽，道也道不完，希望你能去细细游赏。
