Behind the impassable and imposing purple walls which form a structured and meticulous grid, the golden palatial roofs of the largest and most sophisticated pre-modern empire in the world shine under the sunlight. There, amid power and majesty, thousands of books, objects, and works of art treasured for centuries are guarded with care, astounding all the travelers who pass by. This collection represents the tribute to the great beauty that continues today: the physical and spiritual heart of Chinese civilization.
