Last summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties (朝代) in China, the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The Forbidden City was completed in 1420. The palace has about 9,000 rooms. It was there that the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.
In Mandarin (普通话), the Forbidden City is called "Zijin Cheng". However, the colour of the palace itself is not purple. The colour purple ("Zi") stands for the power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred (神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.
The emperor also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations.
Right now the Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go into it. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures.
I really learnt a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to the Forbidden City. It was like a dream about going on the trip and seeing the things that Ihad always wanted to see.
1.How long is the history of the Forbidden City
A.About 600 years. B.About 9,000 years. C.1,420 years. D.Over 10,000 years.
