The residence of the emperor, empress and empress dowager in Tang Dynasty.
There were three palaces in Chang 'an in Tang Dynasty, namely Taiji Palace, Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace. These three Miyagi were not built at the same time, nor were they the imperial life centers at the same time. Taiji Palace was built in the Sui Dynasty, and was called Daxing Palace at that time. In the early Tang Dynasty, the two emperors mainly lived in Taiji Palace. Daming Palace used to be a refuge palace. In middle age, Tang Gaozong moved to the cool and dry Daming Palace because of wind arthralgia and fear of dampness, and the expanded Daming Palace became the main residence of the Tang emperor. The predecessor of Xingqing Palace was the residence of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty before he ascended the throne. After Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne, it expanded to form another palace area. Xingqing Palace is not as big as Taiji Palace and Daming Palace, but it is luxuriantly decorated. Xuanzong became the center of the emperor's listening to politics and life.

In the Anshi Rebellion, Xingqing Palace was seriously damaged. After the Tang Dynasty, emperors generally did not live here. Taiji Palace was first built and is recognized as the official Miyagi. The main entrance of Taiji Palace is Chengtianmen, and the front hall of Taiji Palace is Taijitang. Whenever New Year's Day, winter solstice, Amnesty and other major festivals and foreign envoys come to a meeting, the emperor boarded Chengtianmen to preside over a grand ceremony, during which he hosted a banquet and played music. Taiji Hall is the place where the emperor receives ministers and handles government affairs. The north gate of Taijitang is called Xuanwu Gate. Xuanwu represents the north. According to astrology, Xuanwu is a constellation consisting of seven stars in the north. The mysterious god in mythology is the god of the north, the water god of the combination of tortoise and snake. The Xuanwumen incident, which is of great historical significance in the Tang Dynasty, happened here. By the Tang dynasty, there was a clear distinction between the inner and outer dynasties of the palace. Dozens of palaces to the north of the Taiji Hall, including the Hall of Two Instruments, constitute the Imperial Palace, where emperors, princes and queens all live.

Inner Korea is divided into east and west roads, and the east road is called the East Palace, where the prince lives and studies. West Road is Yefu Palace, the residence of the emperor and queen. The Hall of Two Instruments is the main hall of the Imperial Palace, located on the central axis. The emperor's daily hearings are often held here. After the mid-Tang Dynasty, funerals of emperors and empresses were held here. Ganlu Hall and Shenlong Hall, north of Liangyi Hall, were the palaces where emperors lived in the middle of Tang Dynasty. The emperor's sleeping halls in the Tang Dynasty are all called the Hall of Eternal Life, which means good luck. On the seventh day of July, the Palace of Eternal Sorrow in the Palace of Eternal Life is the emperor's bedroom of Huaqing Palace. There are three pools in Taiji Palace, namely Donghai Pool, Beihai Pool and Nanhai Pool, which are places where emperors and queens row boats. According to historical records, when the Xuanwu Gate incident happened, Tang Gaozu Tang Gaozu was rowing in the pool. It can be seen that the Taiji Palace in the Tang Dynasty is very big. In the sea pool to the north of the palace, Xuanwu Gate was silent. Daming Palace is in the east of Taiji Palace, so it is also called Dongnei. Daming Palace was originally the backyard of Taiji Palace, close to Longshou Mountain and higher than Taiji Palace. Longshou Mountain bends eastward on the bank of Weishui River, with a peak height of 20 feet and a tail height of 60 to 70 feet.

Weiyang Palace in Han Dynasty was located in Longshou Shandong, so Weiyang Palace was higher than Chang 'an. Daming Palace in Tang Dynasty is located in the east of Weiyang Palace, with a high foundation. After the expansion, Daming Palace is more standardized than Taiji Palace, built on the mountain and magnificent. The main hall of Daming Palace-Hanyuan Hall is located on a pedestal three meters high, and the whole hall is four feet above the ground. Looking from a distance, Hanyuan Temple leans against the blue sky, which is magnificent and breathtaking. The emperor listened to politics in the Han and Yuan Dynasties, overlooking Chang 'an at the foot. There are three "dragon tail roads" in front of the temple, which are stairs from the ground to the main hall. Wei Long Road is divided into three layers, with bluestone railings on both sides. The upper railing is engraved with the pattern of faucet, and the middle and lower railings are engraved with the pattern of lotus. These two water elephants are used to dispel fire. There are incense sticks and Qifeng pavilions in front of the Han and Yuan temples, and there are bell towers and drum towers in front. At every court meeting, officials of the imperial court stood under the bell and drum tower, waiting to enter the court under the supervision of the imperial censor. On the occasion of the meeting, the doctors who supervised the imperial history and made suggestions stood on both sides of the upper handrail on Wei Long Road. Daming Palace and its foundation, Longshou Mountain, seem to form a picture of a dragon. The dragon head mountain is the head, including the tail belly of the Yuan Temple, which drives the dragon. Longwei Road in front of the temple is like a dragon's tail. Zheng Xuandian is behind the Imperial Palace of the Yuan Dynasty, where the emperor receives ministers and listens to politics every day.

Zheng Xuantang's East-West Cloister has doors, Rihuamen in the east and Yuehuamen in the west. Outside are government offices, history museums and colleges. The Chenzi Hall behind the Imperial Palace in the Yuan Dynasty was the emperor's toilet. The emperor can meet important or close ministers in the temporary hall to handle government affairs. Working in the convenience hall can save a lot of etiquette in Zheng Xuan hall. After Chenziting, there are a large number of scattered palaces, and the emperor can play and live at will. The largest palace in Daming Palace is Linde Hall, which consists of front, middle and back halls. At that time, it was also called the "Three Great Halls", which was three times the size of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City in Beijing. Most of the grand banquets in the palace are held in Linde Hall. In Daming Palace, the central axis around the north is Taiye Pool. Tangtai liquid pool has the same name as Hantai liquid pool, but one is in the palace and the other is outside the city. The liquid pool on the soup table is for the queen to row a boat and enjoy the moon. There are pavilions in the pool, cloisters and halls are built around the pool, and the emperor often entertains ministers in Taiye Pool. In the Tang Dynasty, there were three large-scale gardens, namely, the West Inner Garden, the East Inner Garden and the Forbidden Garden.

Xi's inner garden is located in the north of Taiji Palace, and there are several palaces in it. Among them, Hongyiguan was the place where Li Shimin lived when he was the King of Qin, and it was renamed Da 'an Palace after he acceded to the throne. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Yuan, the great-grandfather who retired to the emperor's father, moved to Da 'an Palace. In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Yuan died of illness in the vertical arch hall of Daan Palace. The East Inner Courtyard is in the southeast corner of Daming Palace. There are Cheng Hui Hall, Longshou Hall, Recreation Hall and Stadium Hall in the park. There is a Fuling Yingsheng Hospital in the hospital, where Tang Xizong fell; There is a faucet pool in the pool. Water is injected from the faucet canal, and then the pool is filled up and converted into a bow field. There are Xiaoer Square, Inner Corner Square and Yuma Square. Among the three gardens, the Forbidden Garden is the largest. The East and West Gardens are only one or two miles away from Fiona Fang, while the Forbidden Garden is located in a large area in the northwest of Chang 'an, Tang Dou, bordering Weishui in the north, Chang 'an in the Han Dynasty in the west and Miyagi in the south, with a week 120. There are willow gardens, peach gardens, vineyards and pear gardens in the forbidden park, which are full of vitality. Dozens of elegant pavilions are scattered in the garden, and palaces are built near various scenic spots for emperors to hold banquets and rest. On the site of the Han Palace Que, the famous Weiyang Palace and several pavilions were rebuilt. There are many kinds of animals in the forbidden park, and the emperor can swim whenever he wants.
