| dc.description | Detail, inscription above the throne of the Empress; The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. The Inner Palace, on the main axis north of the five-bay Gate of Heavenly Purity (Qianqing men), was a more private part of the Forbidden City. The three inner halls mirror the three great halls of state in the front precinct: the Palace of Heavenly Purity (Qianqing gong), the emperors’ living quarters during the Ming period; the small, square Hall of Union (Jiaotai dian); and the Palace of Earthly Tranquillity (Kunning gong), the living quarters of the Ming empresses. The Hall of Union, the empress’s throne-room, is square and heavy, with solid masonry walls and a single-eaved roof.
