Wooden Construction. The Forbidden City’s beams and columns are made of wood, as are the walls that separate the halls into different rooms. Culturally, wood was the favoured material in traditional Chinese buildings.
The Forbidden City is the world’s largest collection of well-preserved medieval wooden structures. All the buildings in the Forbidden City are made using high quality wooden beams and columns, and there are many examples of outstanding carpentry.
For instance, its intricate interlocking roof brackets, known as dougong, which literally means “cap and block,” not only look impressive; they also have a crucial practical application. The brackets transfer the weight to the structure’s vertical columns, reducing the strain on the horizontal beams, which reduces the risk of the beams splitting or cracking. What is most impressive is that they don’t require glue or fasteners; they fit together perfectly because of the quality and precision of the carpentry. It is an innovation that could be up to 2,500 years old.
As well as using them for their practicality, architects later focused on making them more decorative, which is very apparent when you look at the intricate carpentry of the Forbidden City’s roofs.
Painting and Decorations. Most of the decorations on the buildings can be classified into three types: imperial drawings of dragons and phoenixes, geometric motifs, and Suzhou garden motifs.
Dragons and phoenixes are the major motifs found throughout the Forbidden City. Dragons were used to represent emperors while phoenixes represented empresses. The dragons within the Forbidden City, of which there are more than 10,000, are in many different styles.
Besides the major buildings, other pavilions and towers are decorated with Suzhou garden motifs. The same style of motif within the Forbidden City can be found in the classical gardens of Suzhou.
Auspicious Colours Though the majority of the Forbidden City’s walls are made of grey brick and many of the stairs and terraces are made from bright white marble, there are also many bold and colourful elements, and there are very deliberate choices behind the colours used.
Yellow is a dominant colour; it can be seen in the glazed tiles that are used for the roofs and the many decorations that are painted yellow. Even many of the bricks on the ground are made yellow using a special process. Since the days when myths of the Yellow Emperor became “history”, yellow has been said to be auspicious and imperial, and was used exclusively by Ming (1368–1644) and Qing dynasty (1636–1912) imperial families,
Red is also an auspicious colour, associated with happiness, wealth and power; it features prominently on window frames and exterior columns.
Green is also quite an important colour, because it signifies growth; it can be found of the roof tiles of buildings such as the princes’ quarters.
The Roofs and Eaves and Animal Decorations…One of the most beautiful parts of the Forbidden City’s architecture is its roofs and their eaves.
Yellow Tiles and Stately Roof Shapes……Only the imperial buildings of the Forbidden City were permitted to have yellow tiles: yellow was the emperor’s colour.
The roof shape of the Forbidden City’s most important buildings also had significance. Double-eave hip roofs were the classiest roofs in the empire, reserved for the top imperial buildings.
Animal statuettes have been used on the eaves of important Chinese buildings since at least the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD). There are many kinds of animals on the Forbidden City’s roofs.
Each animal has different meanings. For example, dragons are used to protect against fire while phoenixes bring good luck and represent virtue. A lion represents the power of the owner and a Haetae (a bull-like beast reputed to butt wrongdoers) stands for justice.
The number of animals reflected the status of a building, with 9 being the highest number permitted in China.
The roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the most important building in China, housing the emperor’s throne, is the classiest roof in all of China’s history and the highest roof in the Forbidden City. There are 9 mythical animals at each of the roof’s corners: a dragon, a phoenix, a lion, a horse, a seahorse, a lion-like dragon, a fish dragon, a Haetae (bull-like dragon), and a flying monkey.
The volume of “Little Snow in Fishing Village” exhibited in ” 千古风流人物 -Special Exhibition of Su Shi’s Theme Paintings and Calligraphy in the Palace Museum” is a masterpiece of Wang Xu. This painting depicts the scenery after the first snowfall on the shore of the mountain and water, and scenes such as fishermen’s work and literati’s appreciation are rarely arranged in the same frame. Wang Xu expressed his feelings of seclusion in the mountains and forests with his fine and natural portrayal and clear and smooth pens and inks, which fully echoed Su Shi’s emphasis on the creation theme of literati painting “getting out of the image”. Go to the famous paintings of the Forbidden City with one click, and immediately take a closer look at this treasure…
Describes the scenery of the fishing village and forest at the beginning of the winter snow. In the picture, there are strange pines on the snow-capped mountains, fishing boats on the banks of the river, the peaks turn, the scene is easy to move, the whole picture is depressed, shrouded in an ethereal and quiet atmosphere, although there are fishermen working hard, but it reflects the literati and Yishi Longing for the elegant feelings of a reclusive life in the mountains and forests. This picture is the work of Wang Xu’s master Li Chenger and his own family. In the picture, the outline of the mountains and stones is purely with a short side-forward pen, and the edge contour adopts the “broken ink method”. After the outline, it is turned inward with clear water, and the ink is light. Hanlin Changsong uses the center’s thick ink to highlight his noble character. In order to express the snow, in addition to leaving the mountains blank, the author also applied white powder to the peaks, tree branches, and sandy feet. In order to express the sunshine after the snow, the author also slightly dyed the tree head and the tip of the reed with gold dust, and absorbed the painting method of the golden and green landscapes since the Tang Dynasty in the ink and wash, which is a creative practice. This work fully embodies the creative theme of literati painting in the Northern Song Dynasty, which emphasized “there is a picture in a poem, and there is a poem in a picture”. The skillful technique of writing “the difficult scene of poet Mo Qing” is exactly the same as “poem and painting” Model work….

How does the Forbidden City worship the moon? In which this year of the Rat on 1st October 2020 it’s the Mid-Autumn festival in which on the Same Day it’s the National Day of the China- People’s Republic of China …… On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon was sky full, and the entire Forbidden City was bathed in clear moonlight. In the palace to worship the month, it is also called the monthly payment. The Shengping Department needs someone to “recite the fast” before the monthly payment, that is, to recite the prayer. The monthly payment lasts about half an hour, and the confession must be set up in accordance with the “auspicious position” provided by the Qin Tianjian. The “Moonlight God Code” must be placed in the center of the confession. In addition, colourful painted moon cakes, seasonal fruits, incense burners, tea, wine, etc. must be placed. It highlights the meaning of ripe fruit and good grain harvest in more than half a year. In addition to the moonlight god code, there is also a clay sculpture jade rabbit statue for children to worship. The jade rabbit no longer looks like pounding medicine, but is made into a human shape and wears a crown. This clay sculpture jade rabbit is respected by people as the “Year Rabbit
