Step-by-step explanation:

The Forbidden City was the political and ritual center of China for over 500 years. After its completion in 1420, the Forbidden City was home to 24 emperors, their families and servants during the Ming (1368–1644) and the Qing (1644–1911) dynasties.

Answer:

Explanation:The Palace Museum welcomes audiences from all over the world every day. For foreign audiences, English is an important language for them to understand this ancient palace. Nowadays, in the Forbidden City, the English signs introducing the Forbidden City often use "Gate" to refer to "door" and "Palace" to refer to "Palace". Use "Tranquility" to describe the "Ning" of "Kunning Palace". These are the translation words that can be seen everywhere in the Forbidden City. In order to more accurately introduce the Forbidden City and its related history to audiences around the world, we can first look at how foreigners in the Ming and Qing dynasties described China.
