Forbidden City Palace of Terrestrial Tranquility (Kunninggong) |
|||||
| Kunninggong, Palace of Terrestrial Tranquility,
was first built in 1420 and restored in 1655. It is the only example of
Manchurian architecture in the Forbidden City and was the residential palace
of the empress during the Ming and Qing dynasties. However, in the Qing
dynasty, the newly wed emperor and empress lived in the East Warmth Chamber
of this palace for just a few days. After this time, the emperor would
move to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and the empress would move to another
palace. The emperor's bridal suite in the East Warmth Chamber was painted
red and the palace lamps were decorated with red Double Happiness symbols
to create a warm and happy atmosphere. The delicate and exquisitely embroidered
bed curtain and quilt both feature a hundred playing children. The emperors
all desired to have many children to show the imperial family's prosperity.
In the West Warmth Chamber, a religious sacrifice would be offered up every day. On important occasions, emperors and empresses would preside over the ceremonies in person. Behind the palace, it is the Kunningmen, the Gate of Terrestrial Tranquility, with the imperial doctors' duty room, dispensary and the eunuchs duty room flanking it. |
