The Vietnamese said they designed the Forbidden City. Is it true?/You don't say. What is the basis?

Just like the joke that "the universe belongs to South Korea", the Forbidden City was designed by Vietnamese, which can only be said to be ridiculous. Only when the Forbidden City was built, a large number of Vietnamese craftsmen were selected in the Ming Dynasty, so some Vietnamese participated in the design and manufacture of the Forbidden City. And the design of the Forbidden City can hardly be attributed to one person.

As we all know, China was a celestial kingdom in ancient times, but during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, China's national strength was very strong, which was also the reason why Zheng He went to the West during the Yongle period. At that time, other countries in East Asia were all dependent countries of China, just like many people want to work in the United States now. At that time, many people wanted to work in China.

Emperor Yongle can be said to be a very special emperor, because he was the only usurper and he was an obvious usurper, so many of his old men were very dissatisfied with the emperor Yongle at that time. In addition, Emperor Yongle's own fief was in Yan Di, and Nanjing, the capital at that time, was not his territory. At the same time, Nanjing always reminded him that his throne had been usurped. Therefore, Emperor Yongle decided to move the capital.

The palace is the symbol of the whole royal family and the place where the emperor works and lives, so it must not be shabby, so millions of people gathered to start building the Forbidden City in Beijing. Emperor Yongle naturally wanted to leave as soon as possible, so although so many people gathered, the whole construction progress was still too slow. So at that time, the Ming Dynasty thought of Vietnam, a dependent country at that time. They found many craftsmen in Vietnam to let them participate in the construction of the Forbidden City, so to put it bluntly, they are overseas workers.

So the Vietnamese say that the design of the Forbidden City is also based on this, but participation does not mean that they designed it. It is ridiculous to say that the Forbidden City was designed by Vietnamese.
