The important part of Forbidden city

Qianqing Gong (Construction of Heavenly Purity), Jiaotai Dian (Corridor of Union & Peacefulness), Kunning Dian (Construction of Earthly Tranquility) which located at the northern part of the palace is the serious building structures that made up Neiting (Inner Trial) or Houqin (Again Palace). We appreciate more scenery of the Forbidden city during Forbidden City Tours.Besides that, there are palaces with both east and west sides for the reason that residential area for imperial concubines as well as the princes. Moreover, Cining Gong, Kangshou Gong as well as Ningshou Gong (Construction of Tranquil Longevity) have altogether adding attractive colors to your overall designs of that Inner Court. In some other word, Neiting (Inner In the court) or Houqin (Back Palace) can be concluded as the official residences with the imperial family. Nevertheless, it also served as being the important venue for strict and worshipping ceremonies along with the place where imperial families spent with regard to daily livings. The overall designs of Back Palace were occured conscientious, careful and closed surroundings with magnificent and lovely architecture which thoroughly visualized the scale and style of imperial building architectures.
There was a great study in naming off these palaces. The ancient Chinese believe the world could end up divided into two categories which are the Yin and Yang, which astonished me much in forbidden city tour. The Chinese believe that the emperor was representing the Heavens and Yang; and so the residence of the emperor had been named as Qianqing Gong (Palace of Heavenly Purity). The Empress would on the other hand represent the Earth and Yin should occupy your Kunning Dian (Construction of Earthly Tranquility). Meanwhile, the Jiaotai Dian (Hall of Union) which is situated in between of Palace with Heavenly Purity and Palace of Earthly Tranquility is usually where Yin and Yang mingled together to produce harmony.
