The thousand-year old imperial capital, has long been highlighted by geomancers; its layout resembles a dragon vein winding: the central axis like the ‘dragon’s body’, Tiananmen and Jingshan echoing as the ‘dragon’s head’, and Beihai and Houhai forming the ‘dragon’s eyes’, surrounded by calm waters, reaching the imperial city in all directions. The magnificent city walls and moats resemble ‘dragon scales’, stacked layer upon layer, safeguarding this grand capital; the Kunming Lake and Wanshou Mountain in the Summer Palace together depict the ‘dragon’s belly’, where lake and mountain coexist in tranquility and abundance.
For centuries, the Forbidden City, old alleys, and siheyuan have carried the aroma of countless scholars and artists. Art students often sketch by the lotus pond, incorporating ancient locust trees and gray walls into their paintings, symbolizing the traditional charm and modern vibrancy of Beijing.
At the same time, Beijing frequently steps into the world of images—from the Dunhuang court in ‘The Last Emperor’ to the grand battle scenes in Hollywood blockbuster ‘The Great Wall’, showcasing Beijing’s majesty and mystery to audiences at home and abroad.
