The Divine Comedy is composed of three canticas (or "cantiche"), Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory), and Paradiso (Paradise), composed respectively of 34, 33, and 33 cantos.
The Divine Comedy has been a source of inspiration for countless artists for almost eight centuries–-as one of the most well known and greatest artistic works in the Western tradition, its influence on culture cannot be overestimated.
Robert W. Smith's (ASCAP) The Divine Comedy is a four-movement symphony for wind ensemble which depicts four stages of Dante's journey in a tone poem-like symphonic structure.
At the southern end is the Meridian Gate (technically, Tiananmen Gate is not part of the Forbidden City); to the north is the Gate of DivineMight, which faces Jingshan Park.
Today, Tiananmen Gate in front of the Forbidden City is decorated with a portrait of Mao Zedong in the center and two placards to the left and right.
For example, along the southern walls are five gate arches, with three in the centre and one each to the east and west, which is similar to the Meridian Gate.
