Why is it called the “Forbidden City”? In the past, commoners were prohibited from entering the Forbidden City without permission and only imperial families and invited high officials can enter. Hence the name.

In total, 24 emperors occupied the Forbidden City, so named because it could only be accessed by the emperor, his immediate family, his women and thousands of eunuchs (castrated male servants) and officials. It was renovated constantly throughout its 600-year history.

The Forbidden City was the political and ritual center of China for over 500 years. After its completion in 1420, the Forbidden City was home to 24 emperors, their families and servants during the Ming (1368–1644) and the Qing (1644–1911) dynasties.

The Forbidden City, the palace once home to the emperors of China, was built by workers sliding giant stones for miles on slippery paths of wet ice, researchers have found.

The Forbidden City was built with slave labor. Many societies throughout history have used slave labor to enhance the lives of the monarchs or regimes that are in control.

The Forbidden City was enclosed in defensive layers like an onion. In the center was the Forbidden City for the emperors and their families. It was rectangular and measured 961 meters (3,153 feet) from north to south and 753 meters (2,470 feet) from east to west.
