The design and decoration of the Nine Dragon Wall contain the number ninety-five, which symbolizes the imperial power and the dignity of the emperor, either explicitly or implicitly. Because nine is the highest number of Yang numbers and five is the middle number of Yang numbers, the number nine and five has become the representative of imperial power and the dignity of the emperor. Among the three major Nine Dragon Walls in China, the most legendary is the Nine Dragon Wall of the Forbidden City! Extended information

The Nine Dragon Wall in front of the Huangji Hall of the Forbidden City was built in the 38th year of Qianlong's reign. It is a 20-meter-long and 3.5-meter-high glazed screen wall. The front is made up of 270 fired glazed plastic blocks. Complete, the screen wall is decorated with nine giant dragons, each playing a pearl, with mountains, rocks, clouds and sea in the background.

There are tens of thousands of huge stones used in the Forbidden City, the largest of which is the large stone sculpture with nine swimming dragons placed behind the Baohe Hall, which weighs about 300 tons. "The Records of the Construction of the Two Palaces and the Ding" briefly records that the long stone sculptures were hauled on artificial ice roads in the middle of winter.
