The Forbidden City was the result of a two-thousand year old history of classical Chinese and East Asian architecture and exerci

sed great influence on many modern constructions worldwide. The construction of the massive palatial structure began in 1406, lasted 15 years, and required more than a million workers. The Forbidden City, now a museum, stands witness to the currents of changes that swept through China.

A.
The Forbidden City was significant for the ceremonies the people held there for more than five centuries.
B.
The Forbidden City was so-called because ordinary citizens could not enter or leave the palace at will.
C.
The Forbidden City, an exclusive, imperial palace, was the center of China's political scene for centuries.
