The four turrets on the four corners of the Forbidden City seem inconspicuous, but they actually carry the high skills of ancient Chinese traditional wooden structures. The internal structure is composed of nine beams, eighteen columns and seventy-two ridges. Such a complex and exquisite building seems to exist only in the sky, so there is still a legend about the construction of the turret. At that time, the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty specifically asked the minister in charge of building the Forbidden City to build four particularly beautiful turrets on the four corners of the palace city. Each turret had nine beams, eighteen pillars and seventy-two ridges. After the minister arrived in Beijing, he called all the masters from well-known construction factories, told them the emperor's will, and set a deadline of three months to build the four turrets that meet the requirements on time. This baffled these master craftsmen. Just when everyone was at a loss, a carpenter saw an old man selling a lot of grasshopper cages, so he bought one to relieve his boredom. Unexpectedly, he took a closer look. , These overlapping and exquisite grasshopper cages, no more, no less, happen to be nine beams, eighteen pillars and seventy-two ridges. So the turret was designed from this. It is said that the old man is Lu Ban who manifested the saint. In addition to its decorative function, the turrets belong to the defense facilities of the imperial palace together with the city walls, gate towers and moats. Their functions are equivalent to watchtowers. The best place to take pictures of the turret is the northwest corner outside the moat. The northwest turret of the Forbidden City has been repaired. The yellow glazed tile roof and gold-plated treasure roof are shining in the sun. Against the blue sky and white clouds, they look more solemn and beautiful.
