CHINA: BEIJING: FORBIDDEN CITY HOSTS SERIES OF MUSIC CONCERTS
Mandarin/Eng/Nat
China's ancient Forbidden City, in the centre of the capital Beijing, plays host this week to a series of concerts bridging east and west.
The Ming-Dynasty-era buildings were once off-limits to all but the Emperor and his court -- but for the first time an international music festival is underway within its walls.
Located within the high red walls of Beijing's Forbidden City, The Imperial Ancestry Temple was begun during the Ming Dynasty over 5-hundred years ago.
China's most sacred imperial palace was a world unto itself when these rooms were built.
Now normally open only to daytime tourists who wander the empty halls and courtyards, the palace has come back to life this week with the opening Monday of the Forbidden City Music Festival.
Both Chinese and foreign musicians are playing a repertoire that reaches across western and eastern traditions.
Festival organisers said they wanted visitors to experience a living palace, not a mere monument.
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
Beijing is an ancient city with a lot of ancient palaces and ancient architecture and I think it's very significant to have such a classical music festival in such an ancient place.
SUPERCAPTION: Zhang Yu, Chinese organiser
The Imperial Ancestry Temple was renamed the Working People's Cultural Palace under communist rule, but still retains its ancient magic.
It was here that Chinese emperors offered sacrifices to their ancestors.
Outside the hall a jade stream-bed winds beneath seven white marble bridges.
The sights here are impressive enough at any time.
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
It touched me deeply. Listening to European classical music in such a Chinese ancient palace I can feel an exchange, a fusion between western and eastern culture. This makes me think a lot.
SUPER CAPTION: Zhang Song Yan, spectator
The programme -- including chamber music, recitals, and both Western and Chinese classical music -- seemed to suit the foreign guests just as well.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
It's the idea, the idea is perfect. Here you can enjoy about the music but also same time you can enjoy the surroundings. The surroundings I think they are more exciting than the music.
SUPERCAPTION: Jorma Kalliomaki, audience
The Festival finishes on Saturday with a concert which incorporates both Chinese and Western music traditions -- aptly named Music Connects People.

2016 China Trip Day 13 in Forbidden City of Beijing, China
Tiananmen Square is a large city square in the centre of Beijing, China, named after the Tiananmen (Gate of Heavenly Peace) located to its north, separating it from the Forbidden City. The square contains the Monument to the People's Heroes, the Great Hall of the People, the National Museum of China, and the Mausoleum of Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong proclaimed the founding of the People's Republic of China in the square on October 1, 1949; the anniversary of this event is still observed there. Tiananmen Square is within the top ten largest city squares in the world. It has great cultural significance as it was the site of several important events in Chinese history.
The Tiananmen (Chinese: 天安门; literally: Gate of Heavenly Peace) is a famous monument in Beijing, the capital of the People's Republic of China. It is widely used as a national symbol. First built during the Ming dynasty in 1420, Tiananmen is often referred to as the front entrance to the Forbidden City. However, the Meridian Gate (午门) is the first entrance to the Forbidden City proper, while Tiananmen was the entrance to the Imperial City, within which the Forbidden City was located. Tiananmen is located to the north of Tiananmen Square, separated from the plaza by Chang'an Avenue.
The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming dynasty to the end of the Qing dynasty—the years 1420 to 1912. It is located in the centre of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum. It served as the home of emperors and their households as well as the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government for almost 500 years.

Treasure Gallery (Forbidden City / 紫禁城)
The Treasure Gallery is a series of exhibition spaces in the northeast part of the Forbidden City in an area of the Museum known as the Palace of Tranquil Longevity Sector (Ningshou gong qu). It consists of six gallery rooms displaying pieces from the imperial collection and extant accoutrements for palace life. All of these exquisite items are made of precious materials, such as jade, jadeite, gold, silver, pearls, and other precious and semi-precious stones. The superb craftsmanship and inestimable value of each piece is aptly summarized in the title of the gallery.
Occupying a large area in the northeast of the Forbidden City, the Palace of Tranquil Longevity Sector was originally designed as the private paradise of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1736-1795) for after his retirement from imperial duties. The courts in this sector contain expansive halls, intimate residential chambers, a grand theatre (now the Gallery of Qing Imperial Opera), a scenic garden, and solemn Buddhist shrines. The overall layout of this rectangular sector is modeled after the Forbidden City. This relatively secluded and independent area creates the perfect environment for displaying the treasures of dynastic glory.
The Treasure Gallery is accessed through the Gate of Conferring Blessings (Xiqing men, the entrance to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity Sector).
An additional ticket (10 yuan/person) is required for admission to this area, which houses both the opera gallery and Treasure Gallery.

The Forbidden City (故宫 (Gùgōng)), located at the centre of Beijing, was the imperial palace of China for five centuries, until the early 20th century. It today houses the Palace Museum, one of China's largest national museums, with an extensive collection based on the former imperial collection. This is truly the spot to appreciate the might and grandeur of the Imperial Chinese court during the height of its power in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Administratively, the Forbidden City precinct is part of Dongcheng district, but it is historically distinct and has many sights of its own, so we cover it in a separate article.
The Forbidden City is a very big place with lots to see: A typical visit covering the main palace buildings and the main museum displays will usually take a full day. If you are pressed for time, consider focusing on only the main halls and just a couple of the museum sections.
See Inside the Forbidden City
----------------------------------------
Outer Court (外朝). The imposing set of buildings designed to be the ceremonial centre of the palace. Visitors enter through Meridian Gate (A), the imposing main gate with unique protruding side wings, followed by the Gate of Supreme Harmony (F), where the Emperor sometimes held court. There are then three grand halls set on a multi-tiered marble platform, including the Hall of Supreme Harmony (G), which was the ceremonial throne room used for the grandest of state occasions. To preserve the fine paving stones, it is no longer possible to enter the halls, but you can admire the interiors from the front door.
Paintings and Calligraphy Gallery - Hall of Military Eminence (武英殿). Somewhat ironically, this set of buildings (H) built to celebrate military valour now houses the Palace Museum's paintings and calligraphy gallery. Works from the Palace Museum's extensive collection are rotated through the gallery and changed every few months. To reach the Hall of Military Eminence, go through the gate on the left after the Meridian Gate but before going through the Gate of Supreme Harmony.
Porcelain and Ceramics - Hall of Literary Glory (文华殿). This mini-palace (J) was variously used as the Crown Prince's court and an imperial Confucian lecture hall. It now houses the Palace Museum's porcelain and ceramics gallery. The gallery's exhibits trace through the development of Chinese porcelain, and includes items from the large imperial collection held by the Palace Museum. To reach the Hall of Literary Glory, go through the gate on the right after the Meridian Gate but before going through the Gate of Supreme Harmony.
Inner Palace (内廷). Form the Outer Court, the central section of the Inner Palace is accessed through the Gate of Heavenly Purity. The Inner Palace, like the Outer Court, is centred on three main buildings. The grandest, the Palace of Heavenly Purity (L) was designed to house the Emperor's bed chamber, but later became a throne room where the Emperor held court with his ministers. The Palace of Earthly Tranquillity was designed to be the Empress' bed chamber, but later became a Shamanist shrine. The Emperor and Empress' marital suite, where they spent their wedding night, is in this building. To the west of this main complex, the much smaller Hall of Mental Cultivation (N) was in later years the Emperor's actual bedchamber and office. You can even see where the Empress Dowager Cixi ruled China from behind a curtain for 47 years. The remainder of the Inner Palace is made up of a series of small courtyards, the homes of the Emperor's concubines and household. Look out for the Crystal Palace, a cast iron and glass building of which sadly only the skeleton remains. The Palace Museum's Bronzeware Gallery is also in the Inner Palace. Other permanent and temporary exhibitions are also housed around the Inner Palace.
Treasures Gallery - Palace of Tranquil Longevity (宁寿宫). A palace in itself with its own Outer Court, Inner Palace and Imperial Garden, this complex (O) was designed for the Qianlong Emperor to enjoy his retirement after abdication - but he was too busy giving his son instructions on government to ever use it. Look for the glaze-tiled Nine Dragon Screen in front of the main entrance. These buildings now house the Palace Museum's Treasures Gallery (珍宝馆), which includes works in precious metals and precious or semi-precious stones. A separate admission charge applies. The Stone Drum Gallery, which houses a set of ancient drum-shaped stone carvings, and the Theatre Gallery, housed in a traditional Chinese-style outdoor theatre, are also in this complex. The mini-Palace Garden, while smaller than the main garden, is more finely decorated with some small but elaborate garden buildings. ¥10.
