The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the largest hall in the Forbidden City, situated at the front of the central axis. It was used for grand ceremonies such as coronations, imperial weddings, and enthronements during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The Hall of Central Harmony served as a resting and preparation area for the emperor before major ceremonies, located between the Halls of Supreme Harmony and Preserving Harmony.
The Hall of Preserving Harmony was used for banquets and the final stage of the imperial examination. It was a venue where the emperor received officials and conducted significant events.
