The Hall of Literary Brilliance (Шаблон:Zh), or the Hall of Literary Glory or Wenhua Hall, is a hall in the outer court of the Forbidden City, located far east of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.[1] In the early Ming Dynasty, the hall was originally used as the residence of the heir apparent.[2] However, starting in 1536, Ming emperors began to use the building as a secondary hall.[1] During both the Ming and Qing Dynasty, the hall hosted grand imperial lectures on Confucian classics and served as a place for the emperor to meet his scholars and officials.[1][2] The hall was also where palace examinations papers would be reviewed and marked by nine readers who would be sequestered in the hall for two days.[3] The hall gave its name to one of the seven different titles of grand secretary in late-imperial China. Becoming Grand Secretary of Wenhua Hall was considered to be an especially prestigious honour for high-ranking mandarins.[1]
From 2008 to 2017, the hall served as the location of the Palace Museum's ceramics gallery before it was moved to the Hall of Martial Valor.[4]
