On the Embodiment of the Concept of Heaven and Man in the Pattern of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty
Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty was a famous metropolis in Chinese and even in world history,and its construction was not only a typical example of"taking advantage of natural terrain and geographical conditions",but also embodied the traditional concept of"man-nature harmony".The overall layout of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty referred to the constellations of the Big Dipper and the Southern Dipper to demonstrate the authority of the emperor.The Weiyang Palace,the main palace in the city,corresponded to the Purple Forbidden Enclosure symbolizing the residence of the emperor of heaven,and the Que standing in front of the palace symbolized the unity of heaven,earth and man,and at the same time showed the difference in status between the emperor and the common people.In addition,the locations and forms of the ritual buildings in Chang'an city,such as the She Ji,the Jiao Temple and the Ming Tang,also reflected the harmony of heaven and earth,yin and yang,the four seasons and the five elements.This design concept had a profound impact on the con-struction of capitals in Chinese history.
