故宫博物院：万春亭轩辕镜因安全隐患被取下|故宫博物院|轩辕镜|安全隐患_新闻资讯
晨报96101现场新闻(记者 樊一婧)昨天，像往年一样到故宫游玩的“故宫粉”刘女士向北京晨报反映称，故宫万春亭龙嘴下照明用的珠子不见了。对此，故宫博物院回应称，这颗龙嘴叼着的珠子名为轩辕镜，出于安全方面的考虑，已将其取下并放入了库房。
昨天，北京晨报记者来到位于故宫御花园内的万春亭，据亭前牌匾显示，万春亭为明代所建，是上圆下方、四面为十字形的重檐多角亭，与千秋亭是园中构造装饰完全一致的建筑。清代曾在此供关帝像。按五行方位，东方属春，万春亭在御花园东边，故有此名。
记者注意到，万春亭宝顶上有云文，天花板上绘有双凤，藻井中央雕有盘龙。“我记得去年来这参观时，明明龙嘴衔着悬珠，怎么现在什么都没有了呢？”刘女士对此提出质疑。
记者观察到，龙嘴下方确实空空如也。园内一名工作人员介绍说，以前雕龙口中确实垂下来一个圆球，有多面球灯的效果，白天站在它正下方就能看到四射的光芒。“轩辕镜已经卸下来有一段时间了，可能怕它老化，容易被风刮掉。”但是何时卸下的轩辕镜，该工作人员也说不出具体时间。
根据故宫官网的介绍，古代皇帝金銮宝座的正上方由水银制成的亮晶晶的圆球也称“轩辕镜”。在现今故宫中，凡是龙椅的正上方皆有盘龙藻井，藻井上雕刻着一条龙，龙嘴下面叼着一个亮晶晶的轩辕镜。据说，轩辕镜是中国古代祖先“轩辕氏”制造的，可以分辨真假天子。袁世凯登基时，因为心虚，害怕轩辕镜会掉下来砸死自己，于是下令将龙椅往后移了三米。
昨天，故宫博物院就刘女士的疑惑解释称，“当初古建专家在故宫万春亭内巡查时发现，若风较大，正好会吹到亭内悬挂的轩辕镜，存在安全隐患，所以就取下来放入库房了。”

万春亭和千秋亭
万春亭、浮碧亭、千秋亭、澄瑞亭，是故宫御花园里象征四季的亭子。万春亭、千秋亭为明嘉靖十五年(1536年)建，是一对造型、构造均相同的建筑，仅藻井彩画有细微的差别。两亭均由一座方亭各面出抱厦形成。宝顶是由彩色琉璃宝瓶承托鎏金华盖组合而成，上圆下方的屋顶取仿“天圆地方”的古明堂形制。亭内天花板绘双凤，藻井内置贴金雕盘龙，口衔宝珠。两亭色彩绚丽，造型精美，可称是宫中亭子之最。
