Amazing Murals in Yongle Palace

Heavenly gods line up and show respect for the Celestial King of Creation.

Mural paintings in Sanqing Hall are considered the most beautiful. They cover an area of 400-odd square meters, with 4.26 meters in height and 94.68 meters in length. This group of mural paintings, completed in 1325, highlights the Taoist rite where Heavenly gods show respect for the Celestial King of Creation. 298 Heavenly gods line up symmetrically in four groups, looking dignified and solemn. These gods feature large sizes, with the main gods as tall as 2.85 meters and heavenly ladies as tall as 1.95 meters.
