Why do you say that Puyi stole the collection of Qing Palace from the Forbidden City, including the calligraphy and painting works of famous artists in previous dynasties?

Xiaobailou, commonly known as the Painting and Calligraphy Building of the Puppet Manchuria Palace, is a private collection place of books and calligraphy by Puyi. It is located in the northeast corner of the Puppet Manchuria Palace, with a construction area of 67 square meters. It is a gray-white building with two-story single brick-concrete structure.

Dean Li Lifu said that during the Puppet Manchuria, Puyi's calligraphy and paintings were all stored in Xiaobailou. Except for some of these calligraphy and paintings, which were successively acquired by Puyi and presented by Japanese and Puppet officials, the vast majority of them were collected by Puyi from the Qing Palace, which was smuggled out of the Forbidden City, including famous calligraphy and painting works of past dynasties.

Looking through the history of Xiaobailou, people will find that it is like a lady of bred in an inner chamber, with no one knowing her, with mysterious and hazy colors. According to the records, Xiaobailou was a place where Puyi collected calligraphy and painting during the Puppet Manchukuo period, but it was little known. Xiaobailou was widely known for the first time, or after Japan defeated Puyi and fled hastily. At that time, the national cultural treasures in Xiaobailou were looted as soon as they appeared. Since then, Xiaobailou, like other buildings in the Puppet Manchuria Palace, has disappeared from people's sight. It was not until the Jilin Provincial Museum and the Puppet Manchuria Palace Museum became the owners here that Xiaobailou became an "office space", which made the museum people helpless and had to work for it.

Little is known about Xiaobailou's life history. It has become the wish of museum people after museum to make this historical miracle once rich in Tibetan national cultural treasures bloom brilliantly again.
