Cultural Relics from the Forbidden City Moved South
by Zhu Yong
About This Novel
In February 1933, 19,816 boxes, 72 packages of 15 pieces and 13 bundles of "antiquities" including documents, archives, ancient books, and various cultural relics were moved south in batches at the critical moment when the Japanese army invaded Pingjin. Among the international historical facts of rescuing national treasures under the threat of war, the relocation of cultural relics from the Forbidden City to the south is the earliest, largest, longest-lasting, and far-reaching action. This is not a simple rescue of treasures, but a real national cultural rescue operation. The relocation of cultural relics from the Palace Museum to the south is an eventful period for the Palace Museum and a history of struggle for the Chinese nation. Zhu Yong uses poetic language, prose style, and historical attitude to objectively restore the historical context and factual details of the relocation of cultural relics from the Forbidden City to the south, and takes us into those dusty years.
