故宫里的一些大殿前、庭院中都摆放着一个个这样腹宽口收、容量极大，而且装饰精美，两耳处还加挂着兽面铜缸。这些大缸除了有装饰作用外，其主要功能为储水防火，因而又被称作“吉祥缸”，“太平缸”。

In front of some big halls and courtyards of the Forbidden City, there are such wide stomachs, huge capacity, exquisite decoration, and copper jars with animal faces hanging on both ears. In addition to the decorative function, the main function of these large tanks is water storage and fire prevention, so they are also called "auspicious tanks" and "Taiping tanks".

据《大清会典》记载，宫中共有大缸308口。但世事沧桑，由于各种原因，如今只剩下231口了。这些大缸共分为铁、铜和鎏金铜三种。一般来讲，铁缸是明代时铸造的；铜缸有明代的，也有清代的；鎏金铜缸则均是清代铸造的。这么多的铜缸，摆放的位置可是很有讲究的。比如清朝时，鎏金的铜缸那是等级最高的，只摆放在最重要的大殿门口，比如太和殿、保和殿、乾清门前，共有18口。而其他宫门口一般只放置铁缸和铜缸。

According to the book of the Great Qing Dynasty, there are 308 large tanks in the palace. However, due to various reasons, there are only 231 people left. These vats are divided into three types: iron, copper and gilded copper. Generally speaking, iron jars were made in Ming Dynasty; copper jars were made in Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty; gold-plated copper jars were all made in Qing Dynasty. There are so many copper tanks, but the location is very exquisite. For example, in the Qing Dynasty, the gold-plated copper jars were the highest ranking, only placed in front of the most important main hall, such as Taihe hall, Baohe hall, and Qianqing gate, totaling 18. In other palaces, only iron and copper tanks are placed.
