freeOK概要：This documentary provides a detailed description of the construction of the Forbidden City, the palace of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty. Yongle forged his vision by using hundreds of thousands of timber harvested from remote corners of his empire and giant stones dragged across the ice from the frozen north, and gathered one million workers. Covering 180 acres and boasting 9000 rooms, it remains the greatest palace on Earth. For five centuries, everything behind its blood red walls has been prohibited except for the emperor's intimate court. Now, many of the long overlooked Ming dynasty chronicles, many of which were translated specifically into English for the first time, will tell the story of how this authoritarian emperor climbed to the top, betrayed his family, and killed everyone on the road to seizing the throne. How did he build a gilded palace that was also a prison; Filled with concubines, supervised by eunuchs, greed and treachery prevail.
