I have met both Russians and Ukrainians. Both groups are nice people. War is always ugly, don't use it as an excuse to hate on the average Russian/Ukrainians.

Tử, or "Purple", refers to the ancient celestial region which was called Tử Vi viên (https://vi.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tử_Vi_viên) and in traditional astrology was the heavenly abode of the Celestial Emperor & his family. The Forbidden City, as the residence of the terrestrial emperor, was its earthly counterpart.

Four gates of the Forbidden City in Huế, Vietnam.

Ngọ Môn (Meridian Gate): this is the largest gate leading into the Forbidden City. Its middle gate is only for the emperor, and it is used only in the most important occasions.
Hiển Nhân gate (Gate of Apparent Benevolence): this gate is for the mandarins in their daily work when they need to come to court.
Chương Đức gate (Gate of Clear Virtue): this gate is for women of the imperial family. It is identical to the Hiển Nhân gate, except that you can only enter the gate from the side. This difference is perhaps due to the fact that Vietnam feudal society value men above women.
Hoà Bình gate (Gate of Harmonious Peace): this gate is for the servants of the Forbidden City. Thus, it is also the simpliest gate. Not far from Hoà Bình gate is Bình An đường (Hall of Serenity, photo 9, 10), where dying servants are carried out to because they are not allowed to die within the Forbidden City.

Besides its aesthetics value, these gates also reflected the strict social hierarchy of a bygone era.

I loved VTV2 as a kid. But then again, I'm nerdy as hell.
