紫禁城角楼是紫禁城城池建筑的明珠,在民间素有九梁十八柱七十二脊的说法。四座角楼与四座城门和城墙构成了紫禁城严密的城防体系。照片中的紫禁城城墙与护城河拍摄于二十世纪初,照片的远景可见巍峨的午门西翼,城墙与护城河的砖石斑驳不堪,岸边堆放了建筑杂料,一片萧瑟的景象。
The Forbidden City turret is the pearl of the Forbidden City and is known in the folk as the nine-beam 18-bar seventy-two ridge. The four towers and the four gates and the city walls constitute a tight urban defense system of the Forbidden City. Photographs of the Forbidden City wall and moat were taken at the beginning of the twentieth century. The vista of the picture shows the towering west wing of the Meridian Gate. The bricks of the city walls and the moat are mottled and mounds of construction debris and bleak landscapes are stacked on the shore.
