故宫是作为世界现存规模最大的木结构古建筑群。以前半部分的太和殿、中和殿、保和殿为核心，后半部分由乾清宫、交泰殿、坤宁宫组成。最大的宫殿是太和殿，有十一只脊兽，明清两代有二十四位皇帝在此举行登基、大婚、万寿等国家大事，可见其重要性。
不过近年来大雨时，故宫总会漏雨，所以可以在墙面上涂仿雨材料，定期检查，提高排水的效率。也可以融入高科技，用三维扫描定位渗漏点，或者培育修复专家。
守护故宫，不仅是在保护木石构建的建筑群，更是在延续一个民族共同的精神记忆。
The Forbidden City is the largest surviving ancient wooden architectural complex in the world. The front section centers on the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Central Harmony, and Hall of Preserving Harmony, while the rear section is formed by the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Hall of Union, and Palace of Earthly Tranquility. The grandest of all is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, adorned with eleven roof ridge beasts. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, twenty-four emperors held enthronements, weddings, longevity celebrations, and other state ceremonies here, highlighting its great importance.
In recent years, however, the Forbidden City has often suffered from leaks during heavy rains. Protective measures could include applying waterproof coatings to walls, conducting regular inspections, and improving drainage efficiency. High-tech solutions, such as using 3D scanning to locate leaks or training specialized restoration experts, could also be integrated.
To safeguard the Forbidden City is not merely to protect its timber and stone structures, but to preserve the shared spiritual memory of a nation.
