China 2015 Beijing. Forbidden City. Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Many years ago I saw the movie The Last Emperor and there was a scene shot from this Hall. It stuck in my mind ever since and now, I can see it for the first time.

Hall of Supreme Harmony / 太和殿 (Forbidden City / 紫禁城)
The Hall of Supreme Harmony / 太和殿 is the largest hall within the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. It is located at its central axis, behind the Gate of Supreme Harmony. Built above three levels of marble stone base, and surrounded by bronze incense burners, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is one of the largest wooden structures within China. It was the location where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties hosted their enthronement and wedding ceremonies. The name of the Hall was changed from Fengtian Dian (奉天殿) to the current one by the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing dynasty.
Together with the Hall of Central Harmony and Hall of Preserving Harmony, the three halls constitute the heart of the Outer Court of the Forbidden City.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony rises some 30 meters above the level of the surrounding square. It is the ceremonial center of imperial power, and the largest surviving wooden structure in China. It is nine bays wide and five bays deep, the numbers nine and five being symbolically connected to the majesty of the Emperor. The six pillars nearest the imperial throne are covered with gold, and the entire area is decorated with a dragon motif. The Dragon Throne, in particular, has five dragons coiled around the back and handrests. The screen behind it features sets of nine dragons, again reflecting the nine-five symbolism. The Hall of Supreme Harmony features an exquisite throne made of red sandalwood, and formerly used by the emperors of the Qing dynasty.
Set into the ceiling directly above the throne is an intricate caisson decorated with a coiled dragon, from the mouth of which issues a chandelier-like set of metal balls. Called the Xuanyuan Mirror, this object harkens back to the Yellow Emperor, a mythological Chinese ruler. In the Ming dynasty, the emperors held court here to discuss affairs of state. During the Qing dynasty, emperors held court far more frequently. As a result, the location was changed to the Inner Court, and the Hall of Supreme Harmony was only used for ceremonial purposes, such as coronations, investitures, and imperial weddings. According to legend, the metal balls will fall and strike dead any invaders of China.
The original hall was built in 1406 during the Ming dynasty, destroyed seven times by fires during the Qing dynasty, and rebuilt for the last time in 1695–1697. After a reconstruction in the 16th century, the dimensions of the hall was reduced from around 95m by 48m to its present measurements; inability to find sufficiently large logs was cited as the cause for this change.

The Forbidden City – Hall Of Supreme Harmony – Beijing – Audio guide – MyWoWo Travel App
The Gate of Supreme Harmony will take you into a 30,000-square-meter square, dominated by the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It is the largest wooden building in China from its time to have survived, and the tallest in the Forbidden City, resting on a spectacular, ornate three-storey marble base. It dates to 1406, and has been repaired several times over the centuries. It's a breath-taking sight!
This building is the heart of the entire complex. It's here that the emperors used to receive high-ranking public officials and exercise their power. The Hall hosted coronation ceremonies, the emperors' birthdays and marriages and the celebrations for the winter solstice and the Chinese New Year.
Along the stairs leading to the terrace, you can see 18 bronze incense burners, representing the 18 provinces of China in the 15th century. On the terrace, you can see a bronze crane and tortoise, symbolizing power and longevity. The centuries-old marble sundial and the grain measure, placed at the corners, represented the emperor's ability to administer justice fairly...

Heavy Rain in Beijing Brings about Rare Scene at Forbidden City
Despite the tremendous disruption that heavy rain brought to Beijing on Wednesday, at least the Forbidden City remained flood-free due to its sound drainage system.
Due to the heavy downpour throughout the day, the water level of the Inner Golden Water River rose sharply, but the 600-year-old Forbidden City, or the Palace Museum, and its dragon-headed drain spouts not only served their function, but also presented a rare scene.
Visitors on that day were able to witness all 1,142 dragon spouts drain water from the upper platforms on which the principal palace halls are built.
It is really an uncommon scene. Only when the rain is heavy can we see water pour out of these nine dragon drain spouts, said Qi Fei, a senior engineer of the historic building department at the Palace Museum.
The drain spouts were primarily built on the platforms of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Central Harmony, and the Hall of Preserving Harmony. More on:
