Remains of the Forbidden City in Nanjing

The existing relics of the Forbidden City in Nanjing are:

Wumen site 1

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were two temples at the Wumen Gate of the Ming Palace Museum. The meridian gate is the south gate of the palace, and the middle gate is only driven by the emperor. The left and right side doors only allow officials with three qualities to enter and exit, namely, officials, Hou, Xu, civil servants and military attache.

Other grades can only enter two doors and leave two doors. The meridian gate is not only the gate for officials to go in and out, but also the place for conveying imperial edicts and books notified by the imperial court, and it is also the place where the emperor punishes the ministers' court aides.

2. Fengtianmen Site

Fengtianmen was built at 1366. Enter from the meridian gate and cross the Inner Wulong Bridge, which is the Fengtian Gate, and there is the Fengtian Hall.

Fengtianmen site is 58 meters long from east to west and 30 meters wide from north to south.
