According to a field survey, the result shows that there are over 8,600 rooms in the Forbidden City. Maybe it is an incomplete figure since one folk statement indicates the number should be 9,999. It was designed to have 9,999 rooms, this is because 10,000 was a number reserved for gods, and the emperor wanted to make the statement "I am next to a god." Having 10,000 would anger the gods, and bring him bad luck. the Ming and Qing emperors built 9,999 and one half rooms, meaning the sky palace ranks No. 1 and the Forbidden City follows immediately behind.
