Legend has it that the place where immortals live is called Hai Zi, the place where immortals live is called Ziquan, and the road on the outskirts is called Mozi. Purple gas comes from the east, symbolizing auspiciousness. It can be seen that the "purple" of the Forbidden City is well-known. The Forbidden City comes from this moral.
Ancient astronomers in China once divided the stars in the sky into three constellations, twenty-eight constellations and other constellations.
These three walls include Qiu wall, Wei Zi wall and Shi Tian wall. The Wei Zi wall in the middle of the three walls is bright and dazzling, and there are Qiu wall and Shi Tian wall on both sides, so there is a saying that "Wei Zi is in the middle".
According to ancient myths and legends in China, the "Heaven Emperor" who dominates the universe lives in the Heavenly Palace, which should of course be in the middle of the sky, so the Heavenly Palace should be on the Purple Garden. Therefore, the Heavenly Palace where the Heaven Emperor lives is called the Purple Palace, and "Guang Ya Shi Tian" says: "The Heavenly Palace is called the Purple Palace".
Heaven corresponds to man, and the ancients compared the son of heaven to the purple star wall, so the purple star wall became the emperor's land, so the imperial palace was called Purple Pole, Purple Forbidden, and Purple Forbidden. The saying of "purple ban" existed as early as the Tang Dynasty.
