The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the mid-Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the Dongcheng District, in the middle of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost five centuries, it served as the home of the Emperor and his household, as well as the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government.
Built from 1406 to 1420, the complex consists of 980 surviving buildings with 8,707 bays of rooms and covers 720,000 square metres. The palace complex exemplifies traditional Chinese palatial architecture, and has influenced cultural and architectural developments in East Asia and elsewhere. The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987, and is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.
Since 1924, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork and artefacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Part of the museum's former collection is now located in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Both museums descend from the same institution, but were split after the Chinese Civil War.

1987年，北京故宫被列入世界文化遗产。世界遗产组织对故宫的评价是：“紫禁城是中国五个多世纪以来的最高权力中心，它以园林景观和容纳了家具及工艺品的9000个房间的庞大建筑群，成为明清时代中国文明无价的历史见证。”

故宫成为世界文化遗产，使人们对故宫古建筑价值的认识有了深化。故宫所代表的是已经成为历史的文化，而且有着宫廷文化的外壳，同时它却代表了当时的主流文化，经过了长时期的历史筛选和积累，当然不能简单用“封建落后”来概括。

故宫和博物院不是毫不相干或对立的，而是有机的统一，相得益彰。把它们结合起来，就可看到，故宫博物院是世界上极少数同时具备艺术博物馆、建筑博物馆、历史博物馆、宫廷文化博物馆等特色，并且符合国际公认的“原址保护”、“原状陈列”基本原则的博物馆和文化遗产。

世界文化遗产的基本精神是文化的多样性，从世界文化遗产的角度，人们努力挖掘和认识故宫具有的突出的和普世的价值。

(7)介绍故宫景点的英文短文扩展阅读：

一、名称考义

故宫又称紫禁城。中国古代讲究“天人合一”的规划理念，用天上的星辰与都城规划相对应，以突出政权的合法性和皇权的至高性。

天帝居住在紫微宫，而人间皇帝自诩为受命于天的“天子”，其居所应象征紫微宫以与天帝对应，《后汉书》载“天有紫微宫，是上帝之所居也。王者立宫，象而为之”。

紫微、紫垣、紫宫等便成了帝王宫殿的代称。由于封建皇宫在古代属于禁地，常人不能进入，故称为“紫禁”。但明朝初期称为“皇城”，直接称呼为“紫禁城”则大约始于明朝中晚期。

二、建筑规模

北京故宫由明朝皇帝朱棣始建，设计者为蒯祥（1397—1481年，字廷瑞，苏州人）。占地72万平方米（长961米，宽753米），建筑面积约15万平方米，占地面积72万平方米，用100万民工。

共建了14年，有房屋9999间半，实际据1973年专家现场测量故宫有大小院落90多座，房屋有980座，共计8707间（而此“间”并非现今房间之概念，此处“间”指四根房柱所形成的空间）。

Manpower and materials throughout the country were used to build the Forbidden City. A total of 230,000 artisans and one million laborers were employed. Marble was quarried from fangshan Country Mount Pan in Jixian County in Hebei Province. Granite was quarried in Quyang County in Hebei Province. Paving blocks were fired in kilns in Suzhou in southern China. Bricks and scarlet pigmentation used on the palatial walls came from linqing in Shandong Province.
