Tiananmen Square is located at the intersection of the central axis of the capital Beijing and Chang'an Avenue. It was first built in the 15th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1417) and was originally named "Chengtian Gate". It was rebuilt in the 8th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1651) and is still called "Tiananmen" today. It was the main gate of the imperial city during the Ming and Qing dynasties.On October 1, 1949, Chairman Mao Zedong solemnly declared to the world from the Tiananmen Tower: "The Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China was established today!" Tiananmen has since become the symbol of New China. The national emblem of the People's Republic of China is hung in the center above the double eaves of the Tiananmen Tower, and the portrait of Chairman Mao is hung above the doorway in the middle of the city platform. On both sides are banners with large characters reading "Long Live the People's Republic of China" and "Long Live the Great Unity of the People of the World". In 1961, Tiananmen became the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units promulgated by the State Council.
