It is here that Kings ascended the throne, passed imperial edicts, and also welcomed the victorious generals and soldiers after a battle. Also situated here are a group of pavilions known as the Ten Kings Pavilions. This was formerly the location where the leaders from the eight banners came to settle national affairs.

The Middle Section features the Chong Zhen Dian which is the location where the Emperor’s court was held and is the most important building in the entire palace.
