Introduction of Gate of Heavenly Purity (Qianqingmen)

Gate of Heavenly Purity, also called Qianqingmen is the main entrance to the inner court. The Qing emperors sometimes give audience to government officials here. There used to be a throne in the gate. The emperor sat there and listened to reports from officials. This ceremony was held to show that the emperor attached great importance to the state affairs.

North of the Gate of heavenly purity is the inner court, the living quarters for the emperor and his royal family. The three halls on the central north-south axis, the heart of this area, are surrounded by six eastern palaces and six western palaces, just like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon.
