The current gate, rebuilt in 1929, was a western-style gate with ionic columns. Two stone lions stood on the both sides of the gate. As the HQ of the Nationalist Government, the sign on the gate read "國民政府" (Nationalist Government) from 1929 to 1937 and from 1946 to 1948. During the Japanese occupation of Nanking, it served as the main gate of Legislative Yuan and Control Yuan of the Wang Jingwei regime. After the constitutionalism and the presidential election in 1948, the sign changed into "總統府" (Presidential Palace) until now. Nowadays, it is not only a significant symbol in downtown Nanjing, but also served as the main entrance to the Presidential Palace.
