Gate of Divine Might

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gate of Divine Might or Gate of Divine Prowess (Chinese: 神武門; pinyin: shén wǔ mén; literally "Divine Military Might/Prowess Gate") is the northern gate of the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. It faces Jingshan Park. A tablet above the doorway reads "The Palace Museum" in Chinese.

The Gate was originally named The Black Tortoise Gate (Chinese: 玄武門; pinyin: Xuán Wǔ Mén), this being the traditional name for the northern gate of a Chinese Imperial Palace. However when the Kangxi Emperor, whose birth name was Xuanye (玄燁), ascended to the throne, the word Xuán (玄) became a sacred taboo, and so the Gate changed its name to the current one.
