The Forbidden City in Beijing, formerly known as the Forbidden City, was the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is located in the center of Beijing, with Tiananmen Square in front, Jingshan Mountain in the back, Wangfujing Market in the east and Zhongnanhai in the west.

The artistic language and means of expression of architecture are very rich, including space, shape, proportion, balance, rhythm, color, decoration and many other factors. These factors isomorphically form the plastic beauty of architectural art. Let's appreciate the plastic beauty of the Forbidden City architectural art from these aspects.

The architectural art of the Forbidden City is mainly the art of group combination, and the connection, transition and transformation between groups constitute a rich spatial sequence.

The Forbidden City is generally divided into two parts: the former court in the south and the harem in the north. In the south, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Zhonghe and the Hall of Baohe are the centers, and on both sides, the Wenhua Hall and the Wuying Hall are the places where the emperor went to court to receive greetings, meet ministers and hold large-scale ceremonies.

The three halls are built on an I-shaped three-story platform more than 8 meters high, surrounded by stone railings. They are the most spectacular buildings in the Forbidden City, showing extraordinary lofty status. Among them, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the highest-ranking and largest building in the Forbidden City and the largest existing ancient wooden structure in China.

The northern half is centered on Gan Qing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Kunning Palace, Housangong, Dongfang Palace, Xigong and Royal Garden, with Fengxian Hall and Palace on the east and hall of mental cultivation, Yuhua Pavilion and Cining Palace on the west. It is the place where the emperor and his empresses, princes and princesses live, hold sacrifices and religious activities and handle daily affairs.

It consists of the overture of Tiananmen Square, Duanmen and Wumen, the transition of Taihe Gate, the climax of Taihe Hall, Zhonghe Hall and Baohe Hall, the climax of Gan Qing Palace after the transition of Gan Qing Gate, and the end of the Imperial Garden.

In short, in short, architecture embodies great symmetry and highlights the supremacy of imperial power.
