陕西古迹

Daming Palace (大明宫), originally known as Yong’an Palace (永安宫) when it was constructed in 634 AD, later renamed Daming Palace in January 635 AD, served as the political epicenter of the Tang Dynasty for over 200 years. Unfortunately, in 904 AD, Daming Palace was destroyed and became a ruin. Situated on the Dragon’s Head Hill in the northern part of Chang’an City, it featured magnificent structures such as Hanyuan Hall, Linde Hall, Sanqing Hall, Qingsi Hall, Xuanzheng Hall, and Zichen Hall.

Daming Palace National Heritage Park (大明宫遗址公园), covering approximately 3.84 square kilometers, faithfully restores the historical appearance of the Tang Dynasty’s Daming Palace. It follows a central axis from Danfeng Gate to Chongxuan Gate, encompassing areas like the front court, palace buildings, and palace gardens. While preserving cultural relics, the park also incorporates tourism elements, offering visitors a glimpse into the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty’s political and cultural center.

Highlights of Daming Palace National Heritage Park

The Hanyuan Hall

Hanyuan Hall, the primary ceremonial hall within Daming Palace National Heritage Park, was the grandest structure in Tang Dynasty’s Chang’an City. Serving as the focal point for significant imperial ceremonies and court assemblies, it held immense historical significance. Flanked by the Xiangluan and Qifeng Pavilions on its eastern and western sides, it also featured a pathway known as the Longwei Road leading to the flat grounds. The palace’s raised platform stood at over 3 meters high, with dimensions of 75.9 meters in length from east to west and 42.3 meters in width from north to south. Hanyuan Hall exemplifies the architectural grandeur of the Tang Dynasty.

The Taiye Pond

Taiye Pond, situated in the central northern region of Daming Palace National Heritage Park, covers an area of approximately 16,000 square meters. It consists of two pools, East and West, connected by a central channel. The water source for Taiye Pond is derived from the Longshou Canal, which originates in the south. The pond is also connected to an underground channel that links it to areas outside the palace grounds. The design of the surrounding covered walkways and adjacent palace buildings takes advantage of the topography, creating a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing landscape within this historically significant location.

The pottery on display includes figurines, animals, and household items such as vases and bowls, all with intricate designs and vivid colors. The exhibition hall provides visitors with an opportunity to learn about the history and significance of this ancient art form, which played an important role in Tang dynasty culture and trade.
