The gate was built in 1420, during the 18th year of Yongle Emperor's reign.[1] The Gate was originally named "Black Tortoise Gate" (Шаблон:Zh), but when Qing Dynasty's Kangxi Emperor, whose birth name was Xuanye (Шаблон:Lang), ascended to the throne, the use of the Chinese character Xuan (Шаблон:Lang) became a form of naming taboo.[1]

The gate is the back gate of the palace,[1] and was used by palace workers.[1] Women being sent into the palace for selection as concubines also entered the palace through this gate.[1]

It is important to note that the Xuanwu Gate Incident, while sharing a similar name with this gate's original name, did not take place at this gate. The palace coup happened during the Tang Dynasty, when the capital was in Chang'an.
