Image was scanned from color slide. Note: The Hall of Supreme Harmony (Tài Hé Diàn) is the largest hall within the Forbidden City. It is located at its central axis, behind the Gate of Supreme Harmony. Built above three levels of marble stone base, and surrounded by bronze incense burners, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is one of the largest wooden structures within China. Together with the Hall of Central Harmony and Hall of Preserving Harmony, the three halls constitute the heart of the Outer Court of the Forbidden City.--Wikipedia.

For almost 500 years, it served as the home of emperors and their households, as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government.
