Chapter 1036 Landmark Projects

Canberra Royal Palace

This is a small, but very elegant palace, which belongs to one of the dozens of palaces of the royal family of the Ocean Empire. It is located on the shore of Lake Burleigh-Griffin in the center of Canberra.

After returning to wash and bathe, Li Fushou put on a blue Taoist robe and came to the front hall refreshed. On the long table in the hall, there are various exquisitely crafted architectural models, all of which are real buildings. Made to scale.

Cai Tingqian, Director of the Secretariat, Gu Kaizhi, Deputy Director, Chen Shiheng, Director of the Internal Affairs Office, Li An with gray hair, Fan Asheng, Earl of Zhongyuan, Li Shun and others were already waiting by the side.

“Wei Chen respectfully asks His Majesty to be safe.”

“No gift.”

The head of the secretariat here, Cai Tingqian, will soon be dispatched to take full charge of the major government affairs of the construction of the new capital area. He has been by his side for so many years. Cai Tingqian’s actions are best in line with Li Fushou’s wishes, and he will not mishandle this major matter. .

What does Li Fushou want?

He wanted this new imperial capital to be grand and magnificent, far from being as simple as a new capital, but also to represent the majesty and new atmosphere of the empire, and write an immortal architectural poem.

Simply put, it is to build a landmark project.

This includes the Temple of Heaven complex built on the Kosciuszko Hill more than 110 kilometers away from Canberra. This is a large-scale building dedicated to the sky. It is built according to the concept of the traditional Chinese sky and a round place, but it is more magnificent and more beautiful. for spectacular.

It is now the Republic of China, and the original Temple of Heaven in the homeland of Shenzhou has been turned into a park. The tradition of sacrifice that lasted for more than 5,000 years has been completely ended and has not been passed on again.

The Chinese descendants who are far overseas will take over the heavy responsibility of inheriting the fire and continue this ancient sacrificial tradition forever.

The ancients worshipped the sky on Yuanqiu and the earth on Fangqiu.

The mound is a hill on the ground in the southern suburbs. The mound is round and high, and resembles the sky.

The square hill is the hill in the Zezhong in the northern suburbs.

The main building of the Temple of Heaven in the homeland of Shenzhou is three stories high, and the main hall Longcao Well is supported by 4 large golden nanmu pillars, while the main building of the Temple of Heaven newly built by the Empire is nine stories high, with an extremely large volume and even more sacred and spectacular.

The Dragon Caojing Well in the main hall is composed of nine dragon pillars carved with thick copper texture. The copper pillars are filled with reinforced concrete and decorated with gold. “Sacrificing to Heaven, also known as “The Temple of Heaven”

Another “Fang Ze” was built, and the building shape is square, also known as “Earth Temple”.

With the construction of Qifeng Altar, Daxiang Hall, Shinto, Huabiao and other buildings, a complete set of ancient Chinese architectural systems has been formed, and incense sacrifices are endless year after year.

On the side of the Temple of Heaven, a valley about ten kilometers apart will be donated by the Imperial Household Affairs Office to build the royal temple Famen Temple Nanyuan. This is an extremely large-scale royal garden and will become the largest Buddhist temple in the empire after completion.

Between the Nanwan of Famen Temple and the Temple of Heaven, the Hall of Heroes, the Temple of Heaven and Taoism and other Buddhist and Taoist buildings will be built. After completion, it will become the most regulated religious building complex in the empire.

Following the Daming Palace, a larger-scale Chang’an Palace will also be built here, which will be used as the royal palace. The original Daming Palace will be donated to be converted into a royal museum, and present a collection of precious antiques belonging to tens of millions. He will serve as the permanent honorary chairman of the Daming Palace Museum, which will be passed on to future generations.

In addition to these landmark buildings, the Royal Household Office will also fund the construction of a series of landmark buildings such as the Imperial Art Gallery, the Royal University of Canberra, the Australian Medical University, the Royal Museum, the Jianguo Gate, the Imperial Monument, etc., to enrich the connotation and cultural education of the entire imperial capital. feature.

Now, elite soldiers and strong generals are gathered together to make the new imperial capital a classic.

Various architectural samples are listed on the desk. According to Li An, the former construction director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who built the Daming Palace, a handed down building, it can be seen that although Li An is in his seventies, it is still difficult to face so many magnificent buildings. Hide the excitement in your heart.

Li An is one of the eight chief executives of “peace and joy, tranquility and far-reaching”, ranking second. He has built dozens of palace buildings for more than 40 years, dedicated his life to the art of Chinese classical architecture, and has a deep understanding of architecture. Unspeakable love.

His eldest son, Li Shun, is now the new construction director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Li Shun grew up on the construction site since he was a child. He heard and saw the essence of Chinese and Western cultural architecture.

He is a graduate of the famous Red River Valley University Department of Architecture. He went to the Department of Architecture of Imperial University in the United Kingdom, and served as a visiting professor in Paris and Berlin. After returning to China, he and his father participated in the construction of the Daming Palace. The Imperial Daming Palace was built by the mountains and rivers. The concept of naturalness came from the hands of Li Shun, who can be regarded as a master in the field of imperial architecture.

Li Ping gave a lecture, Li Shun added.

For the Holy One, he elaborated the architectural design concept one by one, and Li Fushou nodded frequently to express his approval.

Since the first time I set foot on the Brisbane Wharf in 1876, 40 years have passed so far. It has been 26 years since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1890. Decades of vicissitudes have changed, and the years have changed. Australia has always been in peacetime. , thanks to the preferential policy, social and economic development has been smooth sailing.

Looking to the world

The team that is most proficient in ancient Chinese architectural techniques has long been not in mainland China, but in Australia and its overseas continents. This is because of the strong market demand, and many ancient architectural experts with unique skills, including Style Lei, have long since immigrated. Australia, show your ingenuity and ancient skills in this new hot land.

“The construction of Chang’an Palace is not in a hurry. Now the focus should be on the Temple of Heaven project. Is there any problem with the design and production of the related copper Panlong carving columns? The sub-casting technique must be able to stand the research, and the overall progress of the project cannot be delayed.”

Li Fushou admired the scaled-down architectural style all the way, most of them agreed, and only consulted experts on a few details to show respect.

Li Fushou chatted with the housekeeper Li Ping and his later nephew Li Shou while walking. The words were full of praise. The so-called polite corporal is nothing more than this.

in power for so many years

When Li Fushou was in the middle and late stages of controlling the imperial government, he lost some of his early forge ahead, and more of his extra thoughts in the middle and late stages. Now he likes to create some landmark buildings, which not only show the glory of the empire, but also put a deep personal imprint .

Why such a miraculous change?

People are not saints, how can they force themselves not to eat the incense of the world.

These Genesis landmark projects represent the glorious era of the Earl of Queensland, and represent the hardships along the way. Li Fushou wants to leave his own unique mark in history, and the more he is in the middle and late period of power, the stronger his obsession. .

The funding for such an amazing building is from the Imperial Household Office. Therefore, it is not restricted by the country’s overall new capital strategic plan. After the plan is finalized, it can be constructed in advance, and the majestic face can be shown to the world as soon as possible.

Li Fushou’s careful thinking is becoming more and more obvious.

Anyway, the Royal Family of the Ocean Empire is not short of money. Such a large-scale construction project requires tens of thousands of people in the initial stage, which will quickly drive the economic prosperity of the Canberra region, and the future is bright.
