Architectural features of the Forbidden City in Ming Dynasty;

The construction of Nanjing Forbidden City is based on a traditional "geomantic omen theory" created by the ancient capital of China. Under the influence of the traditional political concept of "China is the world, and the world is China", according to the long-term observation of astronomical constellations, ancient astronomers in China divided the stars around the North Pole and China into three walls and twenty-eight nights.

The so-called "three walls" refer to the stars around the North Pole and close to the sky overhead, which are divided into three regions: Wei Zi, Taiwei and Shi Tian. Because each area has stars in the east and west, surrounded by city walls, it is called "three walls".
