This book is compiled based on the papers of the "Academic Symposium on Forbiddenology and Ming and Qing Political Culture" co-sponsored by the Institute of Palace Studies of the Palace Museum and the Institute of Asian Civilizations of Northeast Normal University in July 2013. It explores the mechanism and culture of palace politics in the Ming Dynasty, including politics, memorials to "remain in China", education of concubines, and the role of sycophants. It shows that the palace in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was not only a center of autocratic rule, but also a special political and cultural field, showing the multifaceted characteristics of Chinese political traditions.
