Poems describing the Hall of Supreme Harmony

There is a broad platform in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, called Shan Pen, commonly known as the platform. The platform is equipped with a sundial and a fine scale, a pair of bronze turtles and cranes, and a bronze tripod with a seat of 18. Turtles and cranes are symbols of longevity. A sundial is an ancient timer and a beam is an ancient standard ruler, both of which are symbols of imperial power. His Royal Highness is a three-story marble pedestal, with a height of 8. 13m and railings around it. There is a stone faucet for drainage under the railing, which can show the wonders of thousands of dragons spitting water during the rainy season.

Twenty-four emperors in the Ming and Qing Dynasties held grand ceremonies in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, such as the emperor's accession to the throne, marriage, conferring the queen, and being ordered to go to war. In addition, every year, the emperor receives congratulations from officials of civil and military affairs and holds a banquet in honor of princes and ministers. In the early Qing Dynasty, the Jinshi exam was also held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Since the fifty-fourth year of Qianlong (1789), it has been held in Baohe Hall, and Biography is still held in Taihe Hall.
