GATE OF THE HEAVENLY PEACE
Most tourists enter the Forbidden City through the Gate of the Heavenly Peace. Through the gate, across the square, tourists can reach the main entrance to the palace (Meridian Gate).
The Meridian Gate is the formal southern entrace to the complex. The gate is also one of the tallest buildings inside the city. It is 38 meters high. Originally, it served to be the backdrop for imperial proclamations.
The Hall of the Supreme Harmony is where the throne of the emperor stands. The hall measures 37 meters and it is the largest of the complex. It was the center of the Imperial Court. It was used for major occassions like the enthronement of the emperor.
HALL OF THE HEAVENLY PURITY
The Palace of Union and Peace was used for safekeeping of the jade seals of the Imperial Court.
The Hall of the Earthly Tranquility was the residence of the empress during the Ming Dynasty. From the reign of the emperor Yongzheng, the empress moved out of the palace.
The Hall for Ancestral Worship was the place where the imperial hosehold worshiped their ancestors in the Ming and the Qing Dynasties. In some special occassions, the emperor paid tribute to his ancestors in this hall.
THE DECLINE OF THE EMPIRE
The Forbidden City ceased being the political center of China in 1912 due to the abdication of the last Manchu Emperor, Puyi. It became Palace Museum in 1925, but wasn't opened to the public until 1949.
CONCLUSION
Known to all as the Forbidden City, Beijing's Imperial Palace is actually China's most glorious palace and it has a lot of history behind because it was the house of the Chinese emperor for 5 centuries and it has significant importance in the evelopment of the Chinese society.
Although it is no longer an imperial precinct, it remains one of the most important cultural heritage sites of China.
