Jialiang
Jialiang is an ancient Chinese device for measuring several volume standards.
The term jialiang is mentioned in the" Rites of Zhou".
The passage describes the construction of one that includes three measures," fu"( 釜)," dou"( 豆), and" sheng"( 升); furthermore, the instrument weighs one" jun"( 鈞) and it s sound is the" gong" of" huangzhong"( 黃鐘之宮).
Known jialiang give standards for the five measures yue( 龠), ge( 合, equal to two yue), sheng( 升, equal to ten he), dou( 斗, equal to ten sheng), and hu( 斛, equal to ten dou).
The earliest known jialiang was made in the first year of Wang Mang's short- lived Xin Dynasty( 9- 23 CE), in order to standardize the measurements across the empire.
Wang chose bronze to emphasize that it would last and remain as a reference.
A 216- character inscription records the process of the casting and shows where each of the five measurements can be found.
Wang Mang's jialiang is now in the National Palace Museum, Taipei.
The continuing availability of Wang Mang's device has ensured it an important place in researching historical Chinese metrology for millennia.
Investigations on the jialiang were undertaken by such scholars as Liu Hui of the Three Kingdoms period and Zu Chongzhi and Li Chunfeng of the Tang dynasty.
According to the research of modern scholar Liu Fu 劉復, at the time of its creation, following its measurements, the standard units correspond to the modern metric system in this way: 1 chi( 尺) was 23.1 cm; 1 sheng( 升) was 200 mL; and 1 jin( 斤) was 226.7 g.
In Beijing's Forbidden City, before the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Palace of Heavenly Purity, there are two jialiangs cast during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor, a square one in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and a round one in front of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
These were cast in 1745 based on an examination of the Wang Mang's round jialiang and the square jialiang made during the time of Emperor Taizong of Tang.
The jialiang and the adjacent sundial(" rigui" 日晷) have been described as symbolizing the sovereignty and unity of the imperial reign or emphasizing that the emperor is just and fair.
Hall of Supreme Harmony
The Hall of Supreme Harmony( Manchu:;Möllendorff:amba hūwaliyambure diyan) is the largest hall within the Forbidden City in Beijing, China.
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.
It was the location where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties hosted their enthronement and wedding ceremonies.
The name of the Hall was changed several times throughout the past few centuries, from its initial Fengtian Dian( 奉天殿), later to Huangji Dian( 皇极殿) in 1562 and to the current one by the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing dynasty in 1645.
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.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony rises some 30 meters above the level of the surrounding square.
It is the ceremonial center of imperial power, and the largest surviving wooden structure in China.
It is eleven bays wide- of which the main room being nine bays wide- and five bays deep, the numbers nine and five being symbolically connected to the majesty of the Emperor.
The six pillars nearest the imperial throne are covered with gold, and the entire area is decorated with a dragon motif.
The Dragon Throne, in particular, has five dragons coiled around the back and handrests.
The screen behind it features sets of nine dragons, again reflecting the" nine- five" symbolism.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony features an exquisite throne made of red sandalwood, and formerly used by the emperors of the Qing dynasty.
Set into the ceiling directly above the throne is an intricate caisson decorated with a coiled dragon, from the mouth of which issues a chandelier- like set of metal balls, called the" Xuanyuan Mirror", a reference to the Yellow Emperor, a mythological Chinese ruler.
According to legend, the metal balls will fall and strike dead any usurper to the throne.
In the Ming dynasty, the emperors held court here to discuss affairs of state.
During the Qing dynasty, emperors held court far more frequently.
As a result, the location was changed to the Inner Court, and the Hall of Supreme Harmony was only used for ceremonial purposes, such as enthronements, investitures, and imperial weddings.
The original hall was built in 1406 during the Ming dynasty, destroyed seven times by fires during the Qing dynasty, and rebuilt for the last time in 1695 – 1697.
After a reconstruction in the 16th century, the dimensions of the hall was reduced from around 95 m by 48 m to its present measurements, 64 m by 37 m; inability to find sufficiently large logs was cited as the cause for this change.

Gate of Correct Conduct
The Gate of Correct Conduct, or the Gate of Moral Standards, Zhendumen, is a gate on the west side of the Gate of Supreme Harmony.
It was first built together with the Gate of Supreme Harmony and named West Corner Gate, and was later renamed the Gate of Proclaiming Governance by Jiajing Emperor in 1526.
The fire destroyed the gate in the 14th year of Guangxu and was rebuilt the consecutive year.
Its today's name was given by the Qing Emperors.

The Hall of Central Harmony is one of the three halls of the Outer Court of the Forbidden City, in Beijing, China, along with the Hall of Supreme Harmony and Hall of Preserving Harmony.
It is smaller than the other two halls, and is square in shape.

Gate of Supreme Harmony
The Gate of Supreme Harmony (Manchu: ; Möllendorff: "amba hūwaliyambure duka") is the second major gate in the south of the Forbidden City in Beijing, China.
The gate was originally built during the Ming dynasty, when it was called Fengtianmen (奉天門).
Following the Manchu conquest of China, the gate was given its present Chinese and Manchu names.
The gate burned down in 1886 due to a fire started by a tipped lamp in the guard room.
The present gate dates from the rebuilding after this fire, which was completed in 1894.
In the Ming dynasty, the Emperor held morning court sessions at the Gate of Supreme Harmony to discuss state affairs with his ministers, although throughout most of the Ming dynasty the court sessions were purely ceremonial, a demonstration of the Emperor's diligence and the status of the titular first minister.
In the Qing dynasty, when the Emperor attended court far more frequently, morning court sessions were held at the Gate of Heavenly Purity, which is much closer to the Emperor's living quarters.
The Gate of Supreme Harmony was used occasionally for banquets and other ceremonies.
The gate is three bays deep and seven bays wide, covering a total area of 1371.4 square metres.
It is flanked by two minor gates, Zhendu Gate to the west and Zhaode Gate to the east.
The gate and the Meridian Gate form the north and south boundaries of a great plaza that is divided by a serpentine waterway, the Inner River of the Golden Water, which is spanned by a set of five bridges.
On the north (inner) side of the gate is Harmony Square, leading to the grand Hall of Supreme Harmony, the ceremonial centre of the Forbidden City.
Arrayed around the stairs are a large number of incense burners.
The central stairway was reserved exclusively for the Emperor and his immediate attendants, as was the central entrance of Meridian Gate.
