The hunting was held once in each of the four seasons of the year, each time in different places with an addition of the imperial hunting, where artificial hunting grounds were prepared.
This so-called artificial hunting ground was named 'The heart of Capital.'
The artificial hunting grounds were prepared solely for royal enjoyment. This imperial hunting ground was usually used as a diplomatic activity, as a bonding ritual between kingdoms. Emperors, princes, and even princesses were allowed to participate in the hunting game.
It had meadows, lakes, forests, wetlands, and valleys. It was also a good choice for a summer resort. A large guest house was built near the military office to accommodate the guests. The imperial hunt usually lasted for 20 days. After the hunt concluded, a grand banquet would be held, where the emperor would invite his ministers to drink and enjoy the singing and dancing performances with the royal families.
