The name of the Forbidden City has nothing to do with the color of the palace walls. The "purple" in the Forbidden City represents the purple star, which means that the palace is the center of the world. Entering, this is the true meaning of the Forbidden City.
Our ancient astronomy divided the Yuanxing into three constellations. There are twenty-eight constellations surrounding the three constellations. Among them, the Purple Yuanxing is in the middle and is the center of all the stars. Therefore, "forbidden" is used to represent the supreme status of the palace, which is the primary position in the center, in order to show the nobility of the palace and the people in the palace. Therefore, the entire imperial city was built according to the pattern of "Zi Wei Zhong", with a city within the city and a city within the city, and the Forbidden City is located in the center of Beijing.
Of course, the various palace gates in the Forbidden City are also very particular. There are three stars in the south of Taiwei Yuan, which are regarded as three gates, namely Zuoyemen, Duanmen and Youyemen. Correspondingly, there are Meridian Gate and Duanmen in front of the Forbidden City, and Zuoyemen and Right Gate are set up on the east and west sides. Yemen; between the Meridian Gate and the Taihe Gate, the Jinshui River meanders through, symbolizing the Milky Way in the Heavenly Palace; the Supreme Harmony Palace in the palace is high up, symbolizing the majesty of heaven; the Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace are also very majestic. , is the symbol of the two emperors’ palaces!
People now use to call the Forbidden City the Forbidden City. It is a rare and well-preserved ancient building in the world. I have visited the Forbidden City once. It is indeed magnificent and well-deserved. The buildings inside are extremely beautiful. The wisdom of the ancient people is really admirable. If you have the opportunity to go to Beijing, you can go to Jingshan Park behind the Forbidden City to see the entire Forbidden City.
