The construction of Forbidden City was decided by Zhu Di or Emperor Yongle(永乐帝,1360-1424), the third emperor of Ming Dynasty, after his success in usurping the throne from his nephew, Emperor Jianwen(建文帝,1377-1402), the second emperor of Ming Dynasty, through a civil war and moving the national capital northward to Beijing from Nanjing.

They circulate around 28 Star Mansions (星宿), and the Ziweiyuan (in Chinese "紫微垣"), which, currently, is entitled Polaris, is located in the center of the heaven.
