The photographer used a level shooting angle to ensure that the yellow dragon-patterned tablecloth in the foreground, the imperial throne and screen in the middleground, and the “Mingguang Dazheng” plaque in the background are all fully presented. A centered composition was employed, placing the throne and table in the center of the frame, with the couplets symmetrically distributed on either side to emphasize a sense of dignity. The shot includes the red walls and the lighting from the exhibition hall’s ceiling to enhance the scene’s atmosphere. Travel Tip: The admission fee is 60 yuan.
