With the hope of introducing my festival program in modern day communist China we spent yesterday morning learning about the country by visiting the capitol, Beijing. In the afternoon we toured the famous “Forbidden City” in central Beijing. Constructed from 1406 to 1420 the Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace that served as the home of emperors as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government for almost 500 years. During the tour I noted many similarities between China and India’s ancient civilizations that I’m confident will be useful in my programs
