The Hall of Supreme Harmony among the three halls of the Forbidden City in Beijing is usually called the Golden King Hall. The Hall of Supreme Harmony in the three halls of the Forbidden City in Beijing was built in the 18th year of Yongle, the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1420). Formerly known as "Fengtian Temple", it was renamed "Neiting" in the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562). The "Imperial Palace" was used until the first year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, and was renamed "Hall of Supreme Harmony" in the second year of Shunzhi (1645).

Twenty-four emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties held grand ceremonies in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, such as the emperor's accession to the throne, the emperor's wedding, the appointment of the queen, and ordering the expedition. In addition, every year, the emperor receives congratulations from officials of civil and military affairs and fetes princes and ministers. In the early Qing Dynasty, the Jinshi exam was also held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Since the fifty-fourth year of Qianlong (1789), it has been held in Baohe Hall, and Biography is still held in Taihe Hall.
