Symbolic Meaning of Tiananmen 天安门的象征意义
Tiananmen is located on the north of Tiananmen Square， facing Chang’an Avenue. On the opposite side， there are People’s Heroes Monument， the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall， Great Hall and National Museum of China.
The Chinese name of the Tiananmen is made up of the Chinese characters for “heaven”， “peace” and “gate” Humanities in English respectively. It is conventionally translated as “The Gate of Heavenly Peace”. However， the original meaning of the gate is “Gate of Heavenly Peacemaking”. It is located in the south of the Imperial City and its counterpart of the imperial city is called Di’anmen， which is translated as the “Gate of Earthly Peacemaking”.
There are two pairs ornamental columns with depiction of dragons and phoenixes decorating the surroundings of the Tiananmen gate. There are two lions standing in front of the gate which are believed to protect humans from evil spirits. In ancient， the one facing the south is called “back home”， hoping the emperor to come back early to handling affairs. The one facing the north is called “go out”， hoping the emperor to get out of the house and take a look at the folks.
Today， there is a huge portrait of Mao Zedong hanging above the doorway in the middle of Tiananmen. The western and eastern walls have giant placards. The left one reads “Long Live the People’s Republic of China”， the right one reads “Long Live the Great Unity of the World’s Peoples”.
Tiananmen is the symbol of new China. It has the history of 500 years and highly concentrated Chinese civilization and national spirits. It recorded the glorious history that Chinese people struggling bravely for the independence， and wrote a magnificent poem of the new China and of Chinese nation trending to prosperity.
天安门面临长安街，位于天安门广场的北边，对面是人民英雄纪念碑、毛主席纪念堂、人民大会堂和中国国家博物馆。
天安门的中文名称是由“天堂”“和平”和“门”组成，人们通常会照字面意思理解成“天堂一样和平的门”。然而，它的准确意思是“天工建立的和平门”，这道门位于皇城的南端，皇城的背面还有一道门，那就是地安门，它被认为是“尘世建立的和平门”。
天安门前有两对雕刻精美的龙凤华表点缀着周围的环境。门前还有两个石狮子，这是保护人民与邪恶斗争的象征。古代，那对狮子面朝南的叫“望君归”，希望皇帝早日回宫处理朝政。面朝北的叫“望君出”，希望皇帝不要总在宫里，要常到民间走走看看。
现在，天安门的正中门洞上方悬挂着巨大的毛泽东画像，东西两侧分别挂着巨大的标语牌，左边是“中华人民共和国万岁”，右边是“世界人民大团结万岁”。
天安门是新中国的象征，它承载着500多年的悠久历史以及高度浓缩的中华文明和民族精神。它记载了中国人民不怕艰难险阻、勇敢争取独立的光辉一页，写下了新中国与中华民族走向繁荣昌盛的壮丽诗篇。
