? To the east of the Three Front Halls is Wenhuadian (Hall of Literary Glory) and Wenyuange (Hall of Literary Erudition). Wenhuadian was where the sutras were expounded and lectures given, and Wenyuange was a library where the famous Complete Library of the Four Branches of Literature was kept. ? 西側(cè)武英殿為明末農(nóng)民起義軍領(lǐng)袖李自成登極稱帝和處理政務(wù)之處,清朝為修書印書的地方。保和殿后有宮內(nèi)最大云龍雕石,總長 ,寬 ,重約250噸。中和殿是皇帝舉行大典前小憩或演習(xí)禮儀的地方。殿內(nèi)瀝粉金漆柱,蟠龍銜珠藻井,梁枋遍飾和璽彩畫,還有金漆雕龍寶座,富麗堂皇。三座大殿建在工字形三層漢白玉石的高大臺(tái)基上,四周廊廡環(huán)繞,氣勢磅礴,為故宮中最壯觀的建筑群。 ?
