This position and angle allow the 'Zhengda Guangming' plaque, dragon motifs, and the throne to be fully captured in the frame, emphasizing the solemnity and grandeur of the interior architecture of the Qianqing Palace and showcasing the majesty of the imperial palace. The composition employs a central framing technique, placing the 'Zhengda Guangming' plaque and the throne at the center of the frame, making them the focal point. Additionally, the inherent symmetry of the architecture, with elements distributed evenly on both sides, enhances the stability and order of the image, highlighting the neat layout and traditional Chinese aesthetics of the Qianqing Palace. 1.
