Why is the Forbidden City much shorter than foreign ancient buildings?

Comparing the feudal castle with the palace of the feudal ruling class directly caused the psychological loss of the feudal ruling class, so they tried their best to contain and suppress the bourgeoisie. We live in too many cement forests, and when we get used to high-rise buildings, we will look back at history with our present eyes. This metaphor is not appropriate to describe the Forbidden City. Magnificent. In the evening, it is like a fairyland on earth. In the south half of the city, there are three halls, namely, Taihe, Zhonghe and Baohe, as the center, supplemented by Wenhua and Wuying on both sides. It is the place where the emperor held a court meeting, which is called "the former court". The layout of the whole palace is rigorous and orderly, and every inch of bricks and tiles follow the feudal hierarchical etiquette system, which embodies the supreme authority of the emperor. In the era of feudal monarchy, ordinary people could not and dared not approach.

Surrounded by a 10m high fence and a 52m wide moat. The city is 96 1m long from north to south, 753m wide from east to west and covers an area of 780,000 ㎡. There are gates on all sides of the city wall, of which the Wumen Gate in the south and the Shenwu Gate in the north are now exclusively for tourists to visit. It is said that tourists from all over the country and all over the world also visit here, and its charm can be imagined. On the other hand, the tallest landmark in China is 328 meters high, which can't be compared with the Forbidden City. The building is on fire, even the halls and corridors that have been popular for thousands of years are gone, and the houses are kept at a polite distance. As a result, even the emperor had to endure the wind and the sun to come to work.

Since the new Beijing Hotel was built, the geomantic omen in the Forbidden City in Tiananmen Square has changed. Later, due to traffic problems, the watchtower was enclosed (locked), lead the way! If you don't know feng shui, you feel awkward. At that time, it was extremely controversial. The ancient buildings in China are basically "brick and wood structures". The size of the house you build depends on the length of the wood you own. At that time, the royal family could only cut such a long piece of wood, so the Forbidden City could only be built so high and so big!
