It’s like the backbone of the capital city. It may become a UNESCO World Heritage site（世界遗产地）. The central axis lies in the center of Beijing. It runs from Yongding Gate in the south to the Bell Tower and Drum Tower in the north. It cuts the city into two parts—east and west. Along the axis, there are many important buildings: Tian’anmen Square, The Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and many others. The building of Beijing’s central axis started in the Yuan Dynasty (1271—1368) and went on in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Today, modern buildings lie along the extended（延展）line of the axis, like the National Stadium and Beijing Daxing International Airport. The central axis shows important ideas in traditional Chinese culture. Ancient people saw the center of places as important. They usually put the royal palaces in the center of the cities.

Today, modern buildings run along the central axis.They include the National Stadium in the north, and Beijing Daxing International Airport in the south. Why the central axis? It shows important ideas from traditional Chinese culture. Ancient people saw the center of places as important. When building cities, they put royal palaces(皇家宫殿) in the center. Other important buildings were built around the center. Beijing was not the first city to use a central axis. During the Three Kingdoms period(220-280), the city Yecheng had a street running from the east to the west. It separated the royal palaces from common people’s living and business areas. In Chang’an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty(618-907), there was a wide street from the north to the south. 判断正（A）误（B）。 11．Beijing has more than 5, 000 years of history. 12．The Temple of Heaven is in the eastern part of Beijing. 13．The central axis of Beijing started in the Ming dynasty. 14．The idea of the central axis comes from traditional Chinese culture. 15．Chang’an is the first city to use a central axis. 4 Last summer I went to one of the world’s most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijing, China.

During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner’s family for three generations (代) . Right now the Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world.
