The Forbidden City was built in 1420 in Ming Dynasty. The emperor Shunzhi of Qing Dynasty moved into it in 1644. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.

The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace, itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred（神圣的）that the common people could not even dream of going in.

The emperors liked different kinds of activities to celebrate all the traditional festivals in the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes.
