About This Novel
This book outlines the six hundred years of the Forbidden City in a relaxed way. From the founding of Emperor Yongle, through the rise and fall of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the glory of the Kangxi and Qianlong dynasties, to the humiliation of the wars of the late Qing Dynasty, to the transformation from a palace to a museum, and the legend of the protection of cultural relics... The seven short essays condensedly present the architecture, characters and history of the palace, aiming to allow readers to quickly appreciate the vicissitudes of the Forbidden City's charm and rich heritage in the concept of "half an hour", and get started easily.
