To the south of Taiji Palace is the Imperial City, and to the north is the North Wall of Chang 'an. Outside the north wall is the West Inner Garden, and to the north of the Inner Garden is the Forbidden Garden (Sui Daxing Garden).

Historical position
Taiji Palace is the center of political activities in the early Tang Dynasty, where Gaozu and Taizong proclaimed themselves the emperor and established a generation of sacred system. All the decrees of "the rule of Zhenguan" were promulgated here, and many famous political stories of Zhenguan monarch and minister also took place here.
After Emperor Gaozong's reign, the center of political activities moved eastward to Daming Palace. However, Zhongzong, Zong Rui, Xuanzong, Xuanzong and Zhaozong still listened to politics in the west for some time, which still retained an important political center position in the Tang Dynasty.
Besides the main political hall, Taiji Hall and Liang Yi Hall, Ganlu Hall is the third hall where the emperor studied in the Inner Palace. The famous Wude Hall in Sui Dynasty is adjacent to the East Palace. When Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty abolished the prince's bravery as Shu Ren, he declared a letter in this hall. In the early Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan gave a place behind the dry house and a place of Wudetang to Li Yuanji, which facilitated his communication with Prince Li.
In the first year of congenital (7 12), at the beginning of his accession to the throne, Li Longji also listened to politics in this temple, which shows that his position was unusual. Lingyan Pavilion is famous for its heroes. This is a portrait gallery of heroes. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan (643), Emperor Taizong painted portraits of 24 people, including Sun Chang Wuji, Du Ruhui and Wei Zhi, in recognition of their achievements and contributions. This is the so-called "Twenty-four Outstanding Lingyange".
In fact, there are three graphic heroes in this pavilion in the Tang Dynasty, except one in the Zhenguan period. In July of the first year of Zong Guangde (763), it was also a portrait of heroes such as Guo Ziyi and Li Sheng. In September (789), the fifth year of Zhenyuan reign in Zhide, twenty-seven heroes, such as Chu Suiliang and Li Guangbi, were collected, and new choices were made on the basis of the previous generation.
The third time was in July of the second year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (848). Since the early Tang Dynasty, thirty-seven people, including Wang Ranru, Cen Wenben, Li Xian, Ma Zhou and Ma Sui, have been painted, and "the pavilion is revered as a spiritual rock".
Graphic Lingyange became an important form of rewarding heroes in Tang Dynasty. In linyou county Cultural Center, Shaanxi Province, there is also a remnant stone carved by Shi Xiong, a poet of the Song Dynasty, from which we can see that many famous ministers in the Tang Dynasty once offered sacrifices in this pavilion.
