Once every three years, all the daughters of officials from the ages of 13 to 17 of man, Meng, and Han Ba Qi will be eligible to marry freely only those who are not yet elected to the age of 17. During the Women's draft, the candidate female was first received by the eunuch from the secret door to the north gate of the royal garden.

Hexiu Shan and Yu Jing Ting
Hexiu Mountain is located in the east of the royal garden. It is built manually by the Taihu Lake stone in the Taihu Basin of Jiangsu Province.
