An invitation from the emperor's banquet, experience the retired life of Emperor Gaozong.

Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty loved lakes, mountains, springs, rocks, pavilions, and terraces. Emperor Xiaozong built a large number of garden landscapes in Deshou Palace and often accompanied Emperor Gaozong to visit the gardens. The North Garden is ingeniously built and compact, reflecting the characteristics of "a world in a bottle," "skillful in borrowing, exquisite in body," and "suitable for travel and residence." The east area is a plant viewing area, the south area is a place for banquets and entertainment activities, and Zaixin Hall south of Furong Hill is where Emperor Gaozong held banquets. The west area is dominated by landscapes, with the core landscape imitating the Lingyin Mountains and waters, while the north area is decorated with various pavilions and halls. The Juyuan Building, which occupies the commanding heights of the back garden, is located in the northwest corner. Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty maintained the habit of "holding court every five days" for a long time and expanded Deshou Palace many times, which was called "North Palace" at that time. In the 16th year of Chunxi (1189), Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty abdicated and retired to Deshou Palace, which was renamed Chonghua Palace. Song people had banquets such as Feiying Banquet (flower viewing), Nuanhan Banquet (snow viewing), Boat Banquet (painted boat), Tanchun Banquet (spring outing), Tongnian Banquet (singing), and Zhenshuai Banquet (elderly). In addition to the harmonious father and son of Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Xiaozong, the North Palace also welcomed two diligent and frugal female hosts, Empress Wu and Empress Xie. Empress Wu was good at writing and calligraphy, and her calligraphy style was similar to that of Emperor Gaozong. She also presided over the Shaoxi abdication. Yaozhou Kiln began in the Tang Dynasty and was the most famous kiln in the northern celadon system during the Song Dynasty. It once made tribute porcelain for the court. The Southern Song Dynasty official kilns included "Xiuneisi Kiln" and "Jiaotanxia Kiln," with glaze colors including powder blue, light blue, gray blue, moon white, and rice yellow. Goryeo celadon is porcelain made on the Korean Peninsula during the Goryeo Dynasty (918–1392). In the first half of the 12th century, it became an artistic masterpiece comparable to the celadon of famous Chinese kilns. Song people liked to make wine cups in the shape of flowers, and sunflower cups were classic styles. Flower mouth bottles began in the Tang Dynasty and became popular in the Song and Jin Dynasties. In the first year of Jingde of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty (1004), blue and white porcelain was produced in Jingdezhen.
