About the Hall of Supreme Harmony
The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the biggest hall inside the Forbidden City, Beijing, China. It sits on the complex's main axis, just behind the Gate of Supreme Harmony, atop three marble levels and among bronze incense burners. In China it ranks among the largest wooden buildings and is the largest surviving one. Ming and Qing emperors held enthronement and wedding ceremonies here. The name changed repeatedly: first the Hall of Venerating Heaven, then the Hall of Imperial Supremacy in 1562, and finally the present name, given by the Shunzhi Emperor in 1645.
Construction and fire have shaped the building over centuries. The original hall dates to 1421, in the Ming dynasty, and fire destroyed it seven times during the Qing. Its last rebuilding spanned 1695 to 1697. A 16th-century reconstruction shrank the plan from roughly 95 by 48 meters (312 by 157 ft) to 65 by 37 meters (213 by 121 ft); the stated reason was that logs big enough for the old size could not be obtained.
Inside, eleven bays span the width, the central room takes nine of them, and the depth is five bays; nine and five carried imperial symbolism. Gold covers the six columns nearest the throne, and dragons decorate the whole interior. The throne is red sandalwood, and above it the ceiling holds a caisson with a coiled dragon. Ming emperors conducted state business in the hall; under the Qing it served only for ceremonies including enthronements, investitures and imperial weddings.
