Legends say that there are 10,000 rooms in the palace of the emperor in heaven.

中国神话传说天上的皇帝有一座皇宫，它由一万个房间组成。

The emperor in the real world built a palace with 9,999-and-a-half rooms to show his respect to the Heavenly Emperor.

于是人间帝王为了表示自己的谦恭，他的宫殿便减去了半间变成 9999 间半。

600 years ago,100,000 laborers were engaged in building the palace with 100 million bricks and 200 million tiles.

600 年前，为了兴建这座世界最大的皇宫，使用了十万工匠、一亿块砖和两亿块瓦。

The palace featured vermilion walls and gold-glazed tiles.

深红色的宫墙和金黄色的琉璃瓦，是这座宫殿最引人注目的特征。

The palace is open to the public and attracts crowds of tourists to experience royal life.

今天的故宫门户大开，任何人都可以徜徉在昔日皇帝的庭院里，遥想神圣帝国的辉煌与荣耀。
