These two pillars were built at the same time as Tiananmen Square. The pillar itself is called Hua Biao, and Hua Biao is also called libel watch. Why do you say that? Because people are allowed to write their opinions on this post. Of course, these opinions are presented to the king. Moreover, because it stands on both sides of the gate of Tiananmen Square, the people it comes into contact with are often ministers with prominent backgrounds, and ordinary people may not come into contact with it at all. When the king mismanages, the ministers of the DPRK can engrave their opinions and dissatisfaction on this pillar. Moreover, because it used to be wood with insufficient natural durability, it has gradually become a stone pillar with the changes of the times, but its function is only symbolic. At the top of the column, there is a god beast crouching, its head facing the sky, looking up and roaring at the sky. So the name of the little beast is looking up to heaven. Its function is to observe the movements of the son of heaven, and their directions are different. If the god beast is facing the Forbidden City, I hope the emperor can go out in private to observe the people's feelings and care for the people. If the beast faces outward, it is telling the emperor to return to the palace and need him to come back to deal with state affairs.
As for its cylinder, there are many exquisite patterns carved on it. It is known that the biggest feature of the royal family is the dragon. Therefore, a flying dragon and many auspicious clouds are carved on this pillar to reflect the majesty of the royal family. Therefore, the significance of its whole appearance is extraordinary, which does not mean that it plays a decorative role there because it looks good.
