The Forbidden City was formerly known as the Forbidden City. in December 1420, Zhu Di, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, issued an imperial edict announcing the completion of the Forbidden City. Since then, fourteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing Dynasty have continued to break the map of the Forbidden City and perfect its architectural design. In these six hundred years of inheritance, it reflects a strong national integration characteristics.

The Forbidden City is one of the largest and best-preserved wooden structures in the world. As a royal building, the Forbidden City can be called the architectural culture of China, condensing the wisdom of thousands of years of architectural craftsmen, the traditional design art and architecture of the perfect fusion. For example, China's unique architectural "white", the use of near-scene buildings or other scenery, constituting a "frame", leaving the appropriate space between heaven and earth, so that the picture composition is perfect.

Architect Liang Sicheng once said: "The culture of every nation in history has produced its own architecture. But unfortunately, not every nation can understand and carry forward its own culture from ancient architecture." Looking back at the present, it is necessary to think about the design of our urban architecture.

Architecture is the city to show the image of the window, but also to a certain extent to drive the local economy, tourism development. But some blindly follow the trend of imitation and even "strange" buildings appear, but also affect the city's reputation.

The root of the problem is that in some urban construction, there is no systematic study of traditional culture, but also do not do a good job digging the homework of local culture, for the "thunderbolt" building out of the cage provides a breeding ground. In addition, the architectural design of the existence of fast, strange psychology, so that too much force, it is easy to appear "strange".

The inheritance of traditional culture is not to draw on a gourd, but to draw the skin and bone. Architectural design should be matched with the local city and even regional cultural traditions, so that the building and urban culture fully integrated, so as not to produce a sense of fragmentation, but also become a colorful piece of the city. From that sense, the relevant departments in the planning and design of buildings, in the spirit of science, rigorous and reverent attitude, firm cultural confidence, the traditional culture to carry forward.

Back to the Palace exhibition activities. This exhibition uses Dan Chen Yonggu as the theme, showing the determination of the National Palace to tell the story of China. Chinese culture has a long history, but also with the times. Then, six hundred years of the Forbidden City will be an inexhaustible "treasure trove" for future generations of designers to provide Chinese architectural and cultural materials.
