Ancient China pays attention to the planning concept of "unity of heaven and man", and uses the stars in the sky to correspond with the planning of the capital, so as to highlight the legitimacy of the regime and the supremacy of the imperial power.

Architectural style
The palace is the front palace of the Forbidden City. At that time, the architectural shape was required to be magnificent, and the courtyard was clear and open, symbolizing the supremacy of the feudal regime. The Hall of Supreme Harmony was located in the center of the Diagonal of the Forbidden City, with ten auspicious animals on each corner. The designers of the Forbidden City thought it would show the emperor's majesty and intimidate the world. The rear neiting is deep and compact, so the six palaces of the east and west are self-contained, each with palace walls, relative arrangement, orderly. The inner Court was followed by the Imperial court.
The Imperial Palace is arranged along a north-south axis, along which the three main halls, the latter three palaces and the imperial garden are located. And spread out to both sides, north and south straight, left and right symmetry. This central axis not only runs through the Forbidden City, but also runs through the city from yongding Gate in the south to drum Tower and bell Tower in the north.

The Meaning of the Forbidden City
The establishment of the Palace Museum has two meanings: one is another victory of the democratic revolution, a fatal blow to the restoration forces; The second is a great achievement in the history of Chinese culture and art. A museum is an institution that collects, researches, displays and preserves objects for the purpose of cultural education. As a symbol of the monarchy's legal system and only for the emperor to enjoy the precious cultural relics, into the common wealth of the whole nation. When the Palace Museum was founded, the Constitution of the Provisional Council of the Palace Museum was formulated. It marks the maturity of the museum and the beginning of China's museum career.
