Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am pleased to serve as your guide today.

This is the palace museum; also know as the Purple Forbidden City. It is the largest and most well reserved imperial residence in China today. Under Ming Emperor Yongle, construction began in 1406. It took 14years to build the Forbidden City. The first ruler who actually lived here was Ming Emperor Zhudi. For five centuries thereafter, it continued to be the residence of23 successive emperors until 1911 when Qing Emperor Puyi was forced to abdicate the throne. In 1987, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization recognized the Forbidden City was a world cultural legacy.

It is believed that the Palace Museum, or Zi Jin Cheng (Purple Forbidden City), got its name from astronomy folklore, The ancient astronomers divided the constellations into groups and centered them around the Ziwei Yuan (North Star) . The constellation containing the North Star was called the Constellation of Heavenly God and star itself was called the purple palace. Because the emperor was supposedly the son of the heavenly gods, his central and dominant position would be further highlighted the use of the word purple in the name of his residence. In folklore, the term “an eastern purple cloud is drifting” became a metaphor for auspicious events after a purple cloud was seen drifting eastward immediately before the arrival of an ancient philosopher, LaoZi, to the Hanghu Pass. Here, purple is associated with auspicious developments. The word jin (forbidden) is self-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-limits to ordinary people.

The red and yellow used on the palace walls and roofs are also symbolic. Red represents happiness, good fortune and wealth. Yellow is the color of the earth on the Loess Plateau, the original home of the Chinese people. Yellow became an imperial color during the Tang dynasty, when only members of the royal family were allowed to wear it and use it in their architecture.

The Forbidden City is rectangular in shape. It is 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meter wide from east west. It has 9,900 rooms under a total roof area 150,000 square meters.

故宫位于北京市中心，旧称紫禁城。是明、清两代的皇宫，无与伦比的古代建筑杰作，世界现存最大、最完整的古建筑群。被誉为世界五大宫之首（北京故宫、法国凡尔赛宫、英国白金汉宫、美国白宫、俄罗斯克里姆林宫）。

故宫平面图

故宫始建于公元1406，1420年基本竣工，是明朝皇帝始建。故宫南北长961米，东西宽753米，面积约为725,000平方米。建筑面积15.5万平方米。相传故宫一共有9999.5间房子，实际据1973年专家现场测量故宫有大小院落90多座，房屋有980座，共计8704间。宫城周围环绕着高12米，长3400米的宫墙，形式为一长方形城池，墙外有52米宽的护城河环绕，形成一个森严壁垒的城堡。故宫宫殿建筑均是木结构、黄琉璃瓦顶、青白石底座，饰以金碧辉煌的彩画。故宫有4个门，正门名午门，东门名东华门，西门名西华门，北门名神武门。
故宫的建筑依据其布局与功用分为“外朝”与“内廷”两大部分。外朝以太和、中和、保和三大殿为中心，是皇帝举行朝会的地方，也称为“前朝”。是封建皇帝行使权力、举行盛典的地方。
内廷以乾清宫、交泰殿、坤宁宫后三宫为中心，东、西六宫、斋宫，后有御花园。是封建帝王与后妃居住之所。内廷东部的宁寿宫是当年乾隆皇帝退位后养老而修建。内廷西部有慈宁宫、寿安宫等。此外还有重华宫，北五所等建筑。

故宫历时14年，在元大都宫殿的基础上兴建。

故宫建成后，经历了明、清两个王朝，到1911年清帝逊位的约五百年间，历经了明、清两个朝代二十四位皇帝。

1949年中华人民共和国成立后，1961年，国务院宣布故宫为第一批“全国重点文物保护单位”。从五六十年代起进行了大规模的修整。1988年故宫被联合国教科文组织列为“世界文化遗产”。现辟为“故宫博物院”。

故宫四门
故宫有四个大门，正门名为午门，宏伟壮丽，俗称五凤楼。东西北三面以12米高的城台相连，环抱一个方形广场。有1组建筑。正中有重楼，是9间面宽的大殿， 是中国古代大门中最高级的形式。 午门是皇帝下诏书、下令出征的地方。 午门当中的正门平时只有皇帝才可以出入， 殿试考中状元、榜眼、探花的三人可以从此门走出一次。文武大臣进出东侧门，宗室王公出入西侧门。
后门“神武门”，明朝时为“玄武门”，玄武为古代四神兽之一，从方位上讲，左青龙，右白虎，前朱雀，后玄武，玄武主北方，所以帝王宫殿的北宫门多取名“玄武”。清康熙年间因避讳改称“神武门”，现神武门为故宫博物院正门。
东华门与西华门遥相对应，门外设有下马碑石，门内金水河南北流向，上架石桥1座，桥北为三座门。东华门与西华门形制相同，平面矩形，城台上建有城楼 ，城楼面阔5间，进深3间，四周出廊。

三大殿
太和门内，在3万多平方米开阔的庭院中，是外朝的中心：太和殿、中和殿、保和殿，统称三大殿（明朝称：奉天殿、华盖殿、谨身殿，嘉靖时改名：皇极殿、中极殿、建极殿。现名为清朝时名称）。这3座大殿是故宫中的主要建筑，它们高矮造型不同，屋顶形式也不同，显得丰富多样而不呆板。

乾清宫
故宫建筑的后半部叫内廷，内廷宫殿的大门——乾清门，左右有琉璃照壁，门里是后三宫。内廷以乾清宫、交泰殿、坤宁宫为中心，东西两翼有东六宫和西六宫，是皇帝处理日常政务之处也是皇帝与后妃居住生活的地方。

坤宁宫

坤宁宫在故宫“内庭”最后面。坤宁宫是明朝及清朝雍正帝之前的皇后寝宫，两头有暖阁。清代改为祭神场所。雍正后，西暖阁为萨满的祭祀地。

文物收藏
故宫，一是欣赏丰富多彩的建筑艺术；二是观赏陈列于室内的珍贵的文物。故宫博物院藏有大量珍贵文物，据统计总共达105万2653件之多，统称有文物100万件，占全国文物总数的1/6。截至2005年12月31日，中国文物系统文物收藏单位馆藏一级文物的总数已达109197件，现已全部在国家文物局建档备案。在全国保存一级文物的1330个收藏单位中，故宫博物院以8273件（套）高居榜首，并收有很多绝无仅有的国宝。故宫的一些宫殿中设立了综合性的历史艺术馆、绘画馆、分类的陶瓷馆、青铜器馆、明清工艺美术馆、铭刻馆、玩具馆、文房四宝馆、玩物馆、珍宝馆、钟表馆和清代宫廷典章文物展览等，收藏有大量古代艺术珍品，是中国收藏文物最丰富的博物馆。
