What are the palaces in the Qing Dynasty? Who lived there and what did they do?

There are Qiongyuan East Gate and Qiongyuan West Gate in the southeast corner and southwest corner of the Imperial Garden, which are connected with the East and West Six Palaces (commonly known as "Three Palaces and Six Courtyards"-Editor's Note). On both sides of the last three palaces, there are mainly six palaces in the east and west, forming an inner east road and an inner west road.

The six palaces of the East, the West and the Six Palaces were all built during the Yongle period, and now most of them are buildings of the Ming Dynasty. Every palace is a courtyard with a front hall and a back hall. The wall is deep and the door is tight. It was the place where the Empresses of Ming and Qing Dynasties lived. Some palaces have cloisters connected in a rotating way, and trees, flowers and buildings complement each other.
