Centennial architectural history
When it comes to the historical story of the Forbidden City, we have to mention the background of its establishment. The Forbidden City was built in the fourth year of Yongle (A.D. 1406) and put into use in the eighteenth year of Yongle (A.D. 1420). At that time, Emperor Yongle (Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son Judy) advocated the construction of the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City is another huge project-the construction of the Forbidden City, which sprouted after Judy moved to the capital. The reason for the establishment of the Forbidden City stems from the description of astrology in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty.

There is a purple palace in the sky, where God lives. In ancient astronomy, the purple MSI located in the central position with Polaris as the center was the residence of the Emperor of Heaven, also known as? Wei Zi Zi Yuan? Since ancient times, the emperor has called himself the son of the Emperor of Heaven, so the place where the son of the Emperor of Heaven lives is generally? Purple city? The place where the emperor and his children lived, except the eunuchs and maids in the palace, was generally forbidden to ordinary people, so it became a forbidden place. Therefore, it was named the Forbidden City.

In the first year of Yongle, Li Zhigang, Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, wrote a letter about moving the capital, saying that Beiping belonged to Long Mai, and it was reasonable to move the Imperial Capital to Beiping. After listening to the opinions of the ministers, Judy began to order the promotion of the status of Beiping House and changed it to Shuntianfu. At the same time, most people were ordered to move to Beiping Prefecture, mainly wealthy businessmen, refugees and large families in the south of the Yangtze River. The following year, Yongle Emperor Judy ordered the construction of the Forbidden City in Beiping based on the Nanjing Forbidden City. The Forbidden City has gone through 14 years from construction to completion. The columns used in the Forbidden City building, as well as materials such as wood and marble, only took nearly 1 1 year from material selection to transportation. The project of selecting wood and mining marble has cost tens of thousands of people. In the process of selecting wood and mining marble, there are? A thousand goes into the mountains, and 500 goes out? The statement shows the cruelty of the construction process at that time

In the 14th year of Yongle (A.D. 14 16), Emperor Judy of Yongle formally proposed to discuss moving the capital to Beiping, but it was still opposed by some ministers. Ming Chengzu expressed dissatisfaction with this and dismissed the ministers who raised objections one by one. So far, no one in North Korea is opposed to moving the capital. The following year, the Forbidden City in Beiping officially entered the construction stage and was officially completed in the 18th year of Yongle (A.D. 1420). In the same year, Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, announced that Beiping House would be designated as the Imperial Capital, and the original Tianfu would be changed to Nanjing, and the Shuntianfu of Beiping would be changed to the capital.
