Taiji Palace, Imperial palace in Chang'an, China
The Taiji Palace formed a rectangular complex measuring 1942 meters from north to south and 1288 meters from east to west at the center of Chang'an.
From 583 until 663, seventeen emperors conducted administrative affairs at Taiji Palace before the seat of government moved to Daming Palace.
The palace layout incorporated cosmic principles with structures like the Hall of Two Forces representing the fundamental state of the universe.
The palace maintained three main gates on its perimeter, with the Chengtian Gate serving as the primary southern entrance for ceremonial proceedings.
The Qingming Canal, constructed during the Sui Dynasty, flowed along the western edge of the palace grounds, providing water to the complex.
