The Gate of Divine Might or Gate of Divine Prowess (simplified Chinese: 神武门; traditional Chinese: 神武門; pinyin: Shénwǔmén, Manchu: ᡧᡝᠨ ᡠ ᠮᡝᠨ šen u men) is the northern gate of the Forbidden City in Beijing, China.
[1] The gate was built in 1420, during the 18th year of Yongle Emperor's reign.
[1] The Gate was originally named "Black Tortoise Gate" (玄武門; Xuánwǔmén), but when Qing dynasty's Kangxi Emperor, whose birth name was Xuanye (玄燁), ascended to the throne, the use of the Chinese character Xuan (玄) became a form of naming taboo.
The palace coup happened during the Tang dynasty, when the capital was in Chang'an.
