Beginning with the renaming of the Forbidden City to the Palace Museum in 1925, the Forbidden City began its nearly 50 years of turmoil. Many important historical events such as the inventory and cataloging of cultural relics, the evacuation of national treasures to the rear, overseas exhibitions of cultural relics, and the transportation of fine cultural relics to Taiwan have occurred. Especially during the Anti-Japanese War, millions of national treasures were transported from south to north, west to east and back in the flames of war. Amidst the displacement and displacement, the cultural relics and cultural traditions of the Forbidden City not only were not severed, but were continued and reborn, which can be called a historical miracle. This book is a faithful record of the 50-year history of the Forbidden City. It also selects 45 photos of history and cultural relics, striving to give a panoramic view of the fate of the Forbidden City and its cultural relics in the context of the times.
