During the Qing dynasty these ceremonies included the use of art. Imperial portraits of emperors adorned many of the palaces inside the Forbidden City and were an important part of funeral rituals when an emperor died.In the public sphere, imperial portraits were utilized to enhance the legitimacy of the emperor.
