Introduction:
Chiu Kwong-chui repackaged The Grand Forbidden City: The Imperial Axis to cater for Mainland Chinese and overseas readers.
The architectural design of the Forbidden City is affected by tough restrictions and various situations. With a charming skyline, the setup of the Imperial Home is very warm. The Front Court is in perfect order and the grand Imperial Axis provides the best viewpoint to discern this. Named after the star of Ziwei, the home of the Great Imperial Ruler of Heaven, the Forbidden City was the home of the Great Imperial Ruler of Earth.
