[00:01.45]B The majority of Beijing's hutongs [00:04.38]were built between the 13th and 19th centries [00:07.40]during the Yuan,Ming and Qing Dynasties. [00:10.60]To help them maintain control over the city, [00:13.15]the Emperors during these periods arranged [00:15.75]different areas of Beijing in neat blocks [00:18.26]of houses built around courtyards. [00:20.73]They were then able to place guards [00:22.64]at the entrances of the various hutongs [00:25.09]which made it easier to keep an eye [00:26.92]on people's movements. [00:28.50]The Emperor's home,the Forbidden City, [00:30.73]was situated in the center of Beijing [00:33.20]and the homes of nobles [00:34.61]and wealthy citizens were in the hutongs [00:36.77]closest to the royal palace. [00:39.17]Ordinary citizens lived in the hutongs [00:41.22]further away from the palace. [00:42.24]
