杜懿豪The Imperial Palace,popularly known as the Forbidden City,which has witnessed twenty-four emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties ruling China for some 500 years―from1420 to 1911,is the most splendid architectural complex in the world,also the brightest pearl in the human history. Ancient Chinese people fully displayed their wisdom in building the Forbidden City.The Forbidden City is surrounded by 10-metre high walls and a 52-metre wide moat.Measuring 961 meters from north to south and 753 meters from east to west,it covers an area of 720,000 square meters.Each of the four sides is pierced by a gate,the Meridian Gate(Wu men)on the south and the Gate of Spiritual Valor(Shenwu men)on the north side,being used as the entrance and exit by tourists today.Once inside,visitors will see a succession of halls and palaces spreading out on either side of an invisible central axis.It is a magnificent sight,the buildings with glowing yellow roofs against vermilion walls,not to mention their painted ridges and carved beams,all contributing to the sumptuous effect.
