War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, why can the Forbidden City be completely preserved?

1. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the Japanese slogan was "Glory in Greater Asia" and did not destroy the Forbidden City. This does not mean that the Japanese people are kind or disciplined, but it is in line with the long-term interests and goals of Japan's occupation of China.

The Forbidden City is a symbol of China's political power. To conquer China, the Japanese should not only occupy the land, but also conquer the hearts of China people. Destroying the Forbidden City for no reason runs counter to the Japanese goal of long-term occupation and rule of China.

3. At that time, the fall of Beiping City was basically peacefully taken over by the Japanese army, and there was no gun battle.

The Japanese army occupied Beiping, and the Forbidden City has been regarded as a thing in the bag by Japan. Moreover, the Forbidden City is owned by the puppet Manchukuo government, and the Japanese army will not destroy what has been seized.

Introduction to the Forbidden City:

The Forbidden City in Beijing is the imperial palace of China in Ming and Qing Dynasties, formerly known as the Forbidden City. It is located in the center of Beijing's central axis and is the essence of ancient court architecture in China. The Forbidden City in Beijing is centered on three halls, covering an area of 720,000 square meters, with a construction area of about10.5 million square meters. There are more than 70 palaces and 9000 houses. It is one of the largest and best-preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.

The construction of the Forbidden City in Beijing began in the fourth year of Yongle (1406), based on the Forbidden City in Nanjing, and was completed in the eighteenth year of Yongle (1420). It is a rectangular city with a length of 96 1 m from north to south and a width of 753 m from east to west. Surrounded by a wall with a height of 10 meter, there is a moat with a width of 52 meters outside the city. The architecture of the Forbidden City is divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court. The center of the outer court is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Zhonghe and the Hall of Baohe, which are collectively called the three halls, and are the places where the country holds ceremonies. The center of the Forbidden City is Gan Qing Palace, Jiaotai Palace and Kunning Palace, collectively referred to as the last three palaces, which are the main palaces where emperors and empresses live.

The Forbidden City in Beijing is known as the first of the five largest palaces in the world (the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Palace of Versailles in France, Buckingham Palace in Britain, the White House in the United States and the Russian Kremlin). It is a national AAAAA tourist attraction. 19 1 was listed as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units, and 1987 was listed as a world cultural heritage.
