它们即是美化紫禁城内的装饰品，同时也是不可或缺的消防器材。古人将“吉祥缸”称为“门海”，既是“门前大海”的意思。这些“吉祥缸”内常年都储备有清水，一旦宫中失火，太监们就可以就进从缸内取水扑救。

They are not only the decorations to beautify the Forbidden City, but also the indispensable fire fighting equipment. The ancients called "auspicious tank" Menhai, which means "sea in front of the gate". There is clear water in these auspicious tanks all the year round. In case of fire in the palace, eunuchs can get water from the tanks to put out the fire.

皇宫内各处陈设“吉祥缸”的数量以及缸的大小是随着环境而定的。如太和殿、保和殿及乾清门周围陈设的均是“镀金海”铜缸，而内廷东、西六宫庭院及长街上所陈设的就是比较小的青铜缸或者铁缸了。

The number of auspicious jars and the size of the jars are determined by the environment. For example, all around Taihe hall, Baohe hall and Qianqing gate are decorated with "gilded sea" copper tanks, while the smaller bronze tanks or iron tanks are displayed in the courtyard of six palaces in the East and west of Neiting and on the long street.

因为紫禁城的建筑是木结构的，火胜木，水胜火，五行互相创造，放一个铜缸是一个好彩头和一个好道德。毕竟，只有两个水缸才能救火。在古代，没有电灯，人们在晚上点蜡烛，特别是在紫禁城，很容易着火。作为明清皇宫的紫禁城，我们现在看到的就是紫禁城，虽然已经延续了几百年，但保存完好的一个铜缸，不禁让人想起大铜缸的贡献。

Because the buildings of the Forbidden City are made of wood, fire is better than wood, water is better than fire, and the five elements create each other. It is a good color head and a good morality to put a copper cylinder. After all, only two water tanks can put out the fire. In ancient times, without electric lights, people lit candles at night, especially in the Forbidden City, which was easy to catch fire. As the Forbidden City of the imperial palace of Ming and Qing Dynasties, what we see now is the Forbidden City. Although it has lasted for hundreds of years, a well preserved copper tank reminds us of the contribution of the big copper tank.
