The Gate of Divine Prowess, sometimes referred to as the Gate of Divine Might (Shenwu Men) is the northern gate of the Forbidden City. The Gate was originally named The Black Tortoise Gate (Xuánwumén), this being the traditional name for the northern gate of a Chinese Imperial Palace. The Forbidden City, built between 1406 and 1420, served for 500 years (until the end of the imperial era in 1911) as the seat of all power in China, the throne of the Son of Heaven and the private residence of all the Ming and Qing dynasty emperors.
