How old is the Forbidden City in Beijing?
It can be traced back to AD 1406, with a history of 500 years.

Judy, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, built the Beijing Palace in the fourth year of Yongle (1406). Since then, the construction project has continued until the end of the Ming Dynasty. 、

It was built in the fifth year of Yongle (1407) and was basically completed in 1420-1424. Zhu Qizhen's first major task after he ascended the throne was to build the Forbidden City. From the first year of the Orthodox Church (1436) to the tenth year of the Orthodox Church (1446), the reconstruction of the three main halls of the Forbidden City and the renovation of the two palaces were completed-the main projects in this period. In the 23rd year of Jiajing (1544), Nanwai Luocheng was built for defense. In the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing (1557), the fire caused "three halls and fifteen doors to be completely destroyed" and had to be rebuilt one after another. It was not rebuilt until the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562). Another fire broke out in the Third Hall of Wanli, but the reconstruction was shelved in 18, and the project lasted 12 years, and it was not completed until the apocalypse.
