Situated at the heart of Beijing, the Palace Museum is approached through the Gate of Heavenly Peace(Tian’an men). Because of its centrality as well as restricted access, the palace was called the Forbidden City. It was built from 1406 to 1420 by the third emperor of the Ming dynasty, the Yongle Emperor who, upon usurping the throne, determined to move his capital northward from Nanjing to Beijing. The Ming dynasty fell to the Manchu Qing in 1644 and in 1911 the Qing dynasty was overthrown by the republican revolutionaries. During nearly six hundred years, twenty-four emperors lived in and ruled from this palace.
The Forbidden City is surrounded by 10-metre-high walls and a 52-meter-wide moat. Measuring 961 meters from north to south and 753 meters from east to west, it covers an area of 1, 110, 000 square meters. Each of the four sides is pierced by a gate: the Meridian Gate(Wu men)on the south, the Gate of Divine Prowess(Shenwu men)on the north, the Eastern and Western Prosperity Gates(Donghua men and Xihua men). Once inside, visitors will see a succession of halls and palaces spreading out on either side of an invisible central axis. The buildings’ glowing yellow roofs levitating above vermilion walls is a magnificent sight. The painted ridges and carved beams all contribute to the sumptuous effect.
Known as the Outer Court, the southern portion of the Forbidden City centers on three main halls—Hall of Supreme Harmony(Taihedian), Hall of Central Harmony(Zhonghedian), and Hall of Preserving Harmony(Baohedian). It was here in the Ourter Court that the emperor held court and conducted grand audiences. Mirroring this arrangement is the Inner Court comprising the northern portion of the Forbidden City. The Inner Court is comprised of not only the residences of the emperor and his consorts but also venues for religious rituals and administrative activities.
In total, the buildings of the two courts account for an area of some 163, 000 square meters. These were precisely designed in accordance with a code of architectural hierarchy, which designated specific features to reflect the paramount authority and status of the emperor. No ordinary mortal would have been allowed or would even have dared to come within close proximity to these buildings.
The Forbidden City, the culmination of the two-thousand-year development of classical Chinese and East Asian architecture, has been influential in the subsequent development of Chinese architecture , as well as providing inspiration for many artistic works.
