Introduction to the Platform of the Hall of Supreme Harmony: There is a broad platform in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, called Danbi, commonly known as the platform. On the platform are a sundial, a pair of bronze tortoises, a pair of bronze cranes, and 18 bronze tripods. Turtles and cranes are symbols of longevity. The sundial is an ancient timepiece, and the Jialiang is an ancient standard measuring instrument. Both are symbols of imperial power. His Highness is a three-story white marble stone base with a height of 8.13m, surrounded by railings. There is a stone-carved faucet for drainage under the railing. During the rainy season, the spectacle of thousands of dragons spewing water can be seen.
