The story of the hall of supreme harmony

Puyi cried when he ascended the throne, and Zai Feng's unlucky words proved the demise of the Qing Dynasty.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony, commonly known as the Golden Throne Hall, is the largest hall in the Forbidden City. With a building area of 2,377 square meters and a double-eaved roof, it is the highest floor in the main hall and the largest of the three external halls. It is said that Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was only three years old when he ascended the throne at the end of 1908, and his father, Regent Zai Feng, helped him ascend the throne.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the drums and music suddenly sounded, scaring the little emperor to cry and clamor to go home. Zai Feng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely that he had to coax the little emperor into saying, "Don't cry, don't cry, it's almost over, it's almost over!" Ministers think this is unlucky. Three years later, the Qing Dynasty really perished, ending the feudal rule of China for more than two thousand years.
