内容简介故宫，既是明清朝的皇宫遗址，也是中国最的古代文化艺术博物馆。它的建筑理念、建筑功能，以及匠心独运的建筑意趣都成为今天我们了解中国传统宫廷建筑的经典代表作。自永乐大帝敕令修建，故宫在600多年的历史风云中，始终处在中心位置。那些围绕着紫禁城展开的历史进程，那些生活在紫禁城里的帝王嫔妃，那些为皇权稳固、百姓福祉或勤勤恳恳，或蝇营狗苟的将相，还有那些泯灭在岁月洪流中的宫女太监侍卫们，都曾在这座宏伟华丽的宫殿群中经历过悲欢离合，也为这座高高在上的建筑群增添了生气和活力。The Forbidden City is not only the imperial palace site of the Ming andQing dynasties, but also the largest museum of ancient culture and art inChina. Its architectural concept, architectural function, and ingenious architectural interest have become the classic representative of today’s understanding of Chinese traditional court architecture. Since its construction by the Yongle Emperor, the Forbidden City has always been at the center of its 600-year history. The historical process surrounding the Forbidden City, the emperors and concubines who lived in the Forbidden City, the generals who worked hard for the stability of the imperial power and the welfare of the people, and the palace maids, eunuchs and guards all experienced joys and sorrows in this magnificent palace complex. It also adds life and vitality to this high-rise building complex.
