Everything in China means something. This is an example of a door in the Forbidden City, nine is a very auspicious number in China so there are nine by nine little knobs on all the doors.
The more animals on the roof, the more important the building. Nine is the maximum number of animals on the roof. As you can see this is a pretty important building.














This is a giant water vat for fire extinguishing. The buildings in the Forbidden City are all wooden, so fire extinguishers are very useful.



Maybe some of you will recognise this throne, the Last Emperor is the only film that was shot in the real Forbidden City.

Surrounding the main room is a three tier marble structure, it represents the clouds and heaven and shows that the Emperor is closer to the gods than anyone else.
