Overall layout
The Forbidden City is located in the center of Beijing. The layout is based on the principle of "Left Ancestor, Right Society, Facing, and Back Market" contained in "Zhou Li·Kaogong Ji". The building is built on the central axis of eight kilometers long from north to south of Beijing. The north and south are straight and symmetrical from left to right. Today, the Working People's Cultural Palace on the left front of the Forbidden City was the Taimiao Temple where emperors worshiped their ancestors during the Ming and Qing Dynasties; the Zhongshan Park on the right front was the Sheji Altar where emperors worshiped the God of Earth and the God of Grain; the Long Live Mountain in Zhongdun on the opposite side of the Forbidden City is dedicated to It is an artificial mountain built to create the feng shui of the imperial city. To the south is the Jinshui River, which is exactly in line with the ancient palace building principle of "carrying the yin and embracing the yang, and infusing the qi for harmony." Long live mountain is a city built specifically to create the feng shui of the imperial city. The artificial mountain was completed in the early Ming Dynasty and is located at the former site of Yanchun Pavilion, the palace of the Yuan Dynasty. It was built by excavating the moat and depositing silt from the South Lake. The construction of this mountain not only satisfies the principle that the imperial city should "bear the negative yin", but also suppresses the Feng Shui of the previous dynasty, so Long Live Mountain is also known as the "Suppressing Mountain". The layout of the Forbidden City in Beijing is that two dragons emerge from the water to protect the Forbidden City. According to ancient Chinese astrology theory, the Purple Star (the North Star) is located in the mid-heaven and is the residence of the Emperor of Heaven. Heaven and humans correspond, so the Emperor's residence is also called the Forbidden City.
? The Forbidden City is surrounded by a palace wall that is 12 meters high and 3,400 meters long. It is in the form of a rectangular city. There is a 52-meter-wide moat surrounding the wall, forming a castle with strict barriers. Therefore, there are four gates in the palace: the main gate is called Meridian Gate, the east gate is called Donghua Gate, the west gate is called Xihua Gate, and the north gate is called Shenwu Gate. Facing the north gate Shenwu Gate, there is a Jingshan built of earth and stone. In terms of the overall layout, Jingshan can be said to be the barrier to the Forbidden City complex.
? The Forbidden City is about 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meters wide from east to west. It covers an area of more than 720,000 square meters and has more than 8,000 existing houses. It is surrounded by a 10-meter-high city wall and a 52-meter-wide moat outside the wall. There is a gate on each side, the Meridian Gate in the south, the Shenwu Gate in the north, the Donghua Gate in the east, and the Xihua Gate in the west. The Forbidden City is composed of two parts: the outer court and the inner court. The outer dynasty has the Taihe Hall, the Zhonghe Hall, and the Baohe Hall as the center, with the Wenhua Hall in the east and the Wuying Hall in the west as its two wings. It is the place where the imperial court holds grand ceremonies. Behind the outer dynasty is the inner court, which includes the Qianqing Palace, the Jiaotai Palace, the Kunning Palace, the Imperial Garden, and the East and West Sixth Palace. It is where the emperor handles daily government affairs and where the emperor and his concubines live. In addition, there is the Ningshou Palace area on the east side, which was the place where Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty retired from the throne to become the Supreme Emperor.
