Qianqing Gong (Palace of Heavenly Purity), Jiaotai Dian (Corridor of Union & Peacefulness), Kunning Dian (Construction of Earthly Tranquility) which located at the northern part of the palace
is the serious building structures that made up Neiting (Inner Trial) or Houqin (Again Palace). We appreciate more scenery of the Forbidden city during
Forbidden City Tours.Besides which, there are palaces with both
east and west sides as the residential area for imperial concubines as well as the princes. Moreover, Cining Gong, Kangshou Gong and Ningshou Gong (Palace of Tranquil Longevity) have all together
adding attractive colors to your overall designs of this Inner Court. In other word, Neiting (Inner In the court) or Houqin (Back Palace) can be concluded as the official residences with the
imperial family. Nevertheless, it also served as being the important venue for strict and worshipping ceremonies along with the place where imperial families spent for a daily livings. The overall
designs associated with Back Palace were set in conscientious, careful and closed environments with magnificent and gorgeous architecture which thoroughly visualized the scale and type of imperial
building architectures.
There was a great study in naming off these palaces. The ancient Chinese believe that the world could end up divided into two categories which might be the Yin and Yang, which astonished me much in
forbidden city tour. The Chinese believe the emperor was
representing the Heavens and Yang; and so the residence of the emperor had been named as Qianqing Gong (Construction of Heavenly Purity). The Empress would in contrast represent the Earth and Yin
should occupy that Kunning Dian (Construction of Earthly Tranquility). In the mean time, the Jiaotai Dian (Corridor of Union) which is located in between of Palace of Heavenly Purity and
Construction of Earthly Tranquility is actually where Yin and Yang mingled together to produce harmony.
