Historically, Purple Cloud Palace, because of taking the responsibilities of praying for royal families, had solemn overall arrangement, exquisite furnishings.Emperor of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties often iued their orders to set up altar so as to praise and pray for good fortune, or plead deities to ble the peace of their state and the plain people or the harvest of crops.In fact, this was a ritual of communicating with Gods, for Taoism thought through that way Gods would help the prayers, ble them to be away from the disasters and prolong their lifespan.
