Unveiling of an ancient stone slab that read “Đoan Gia” in the Imperial Citadel

Once discovered, this relic is considered of great value and has been transferred to Hue Museum of Royal Antiquities for protection and further research on the life and subdivision within the Six Residence Halls, contributing to the preservation work of the Six Residence Halls area in the future.

Under the Nguyen Emperors, the Six Residence Halls were built to accommodate the concubines in the Forbidden City. In the history of the Nguyen Dynasty, the “Six Residence Halls” could change in number, as under the reign of Emperor Thieu Tri, there were 11 residence halls and 1 palace in total.
