Kunning Palace is located in the north of Jiaotai Hall of the Forbidden City in Beijing. It belongs to one of the last three palaces in the Forbidden City in Beijing, located behind the Jiaotai Hall. The name of Kunning Palace comes from the original text of Tao Te Ching: those who got it in the past, the sky was clear and the ground was flat, God got it with spirit, the valley got it with profit, everything got it with life, and the marquis got it with the idea that the world was right.

In ancient times, the status of the queen was relative to that of the emperor. She was the most distinguished woman in the world. The emperor is heaven, the queen is earth, the emperor is dry, the queen is Kun and the queen is the only one in the world. The queen's bedroom was taken from Tao Te Ching, and Kun got a better one, so it was named Kunning Palace. Similarly, heaven also has a clean, emperor's bedroom named Gan Qing Palace.

The Palace of Kunning was built in the 18th year of Yongle (1420), destroyed by fire in the 9th year of Zheng De (15 14) and the 24th year of Wanli (1596), and rebuilt in the 31st year of Wanli (1605).

In the second year of Qing Shunzhi (1645), it was rebuilt again in the twelfth year of Shunzhi (1655). In the second year of Jiaqing (1797), a fire broke out in Gan Qing Palace, which extended the front eaves of the temple and was rebuilt in the third year of Jiaqing (1798). Gan Qing Palace stands for masculine gender, while Kunning Palace stands for feminine gender, which means the combination of Yin and Yang and heaven and earth.

Extended data:

The Palace of Kunning is the Queen's main palace, facing south, with nine bays on the front. Counting the small bay on both sides, what we see now is 1 1 bay. Kunning Palace, Jiaotai Palace and Gan Qing Palace are located on the same platform, with a rectangular plane and two-story eaves, and the roof is covered with yellow glazed tiles.

As far as architectural structure is concerned, there are many doors in the backyard courtyard: there are five doors in the east and west walls, including two in Gan Qing Palace, one in Jiaotai Palace and two in Kunning Palace-mainly for the convenience of emperors, concubines, maids and eunuchs.

In fact, not all queens live in the Palace of Kunning. Empresses and concubines in the Ming Dynasty all lived in Kunning Palace, while those in the Qing Dynasty mostly lived in the East and West Sixth Palace. However, the status of Kunning Palace as the queen's main palace has never changed, so the bridal chamber of the Qing emperor's wedding is still in Kunning Palace.

Just as concubines live in the East and the West, so do queens, emperors and empresses. Similarly, the Palace of Kunning is the place where the queen sleeps, but the concubines also live here.

Huang Zongxi's Miscellaneous Notes on Jujube Trees records that the Tang Dynasty (now Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province) was chosen by Dai, who once lived in Kunning Palace and was blessed three times. In the tenth year of Hongzhi (1497), the eunuch Ningmou came to the county seat, and the imperial secretary sent a personal letter asking whether his mother and brother were well. The mood of parting and remembering was full of sadness.
