Both the east and west sides feature suites, with the west side housing The Emperor's study, filled with well-known ancient tomes, lone volumes, calligraphy, and paintings.
The western side is The Emperor's living quarters, where one enters to find a fire kang presumably used by The Emperor to ward off the cold in winter. On the kang there are yellow cushions, a red flower-patterned kang blanket, mattresses, and backrests for bedding, while the floor has spittoons, a dressing mirror, Ruyi, and a smoothly cut knife. On either side of the kang, there are Kang tables and cabinets, on which are displayed treasures and stationery carved from jade, porcelain, enamel, bamboo, wood, ivory, and horn.
