@beautifulchina025: The **Hall of Supreme Harmony (Taihe Dian)** is the largest and most iconic structure in the Forbidden City, used for imperial coronations and grand ceremonies. Its floor is paved with **"golden bricks"** – not real gold, but ultra-refined clay tiles from Suzhou. Each brick underwent a year-long process of kneading, firing, and polishing, producing a smooth, resonant surface so precious they were literally worth their weight in gold during the Ming-Qing dynasties.symbolizing imperial prestige. Today, these rare artifacts are priceless cultural relics, protected to prevent wear from foot traffic.#china #chinatravel #forbiddencity #beijing #chineseculture #History #landscape #fyp
