I have never been to the Forbidden City, which is a pity. I wanted to read this book to see old objects from our past, but unfortunately there are still too few pictures. You can learn a lot of little knowledge in it, but the author also contains a lot of personal information, which is hard to agree with. But after reading it, I feel sad for those treasures that have been lost in other countries. We have lost too many things ourselves, and if we want to get them back, we have to pick them up as soon as possible, whether they are physical antiques or living cultural continuations.
I don't want to miss any of Teacher Zhu Yong's books. You can read them as literature or prose.
