The Yangxin Hall is located on the west side of the Qianqing Palace at the rear of the Forbidden City. It was built in the 16th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1537). It was the longest working and living place used by the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. Starting from Emperor Yongzheng, eight emperors of the Qing Dynasty lived here. Yangxin Hall became the center of power and one of the most important scenic spots in the Forbidden City.
“The Yangxin Hall has not undergone major repairs for hundreds of years, and the last repair was 35 years ago.” Shan Jixiang, director of the Palace Museum, said that the buildings in the Yangxin Hall area have not been systematically repaired for a long time.

It involves 1,890 existing indoor and outdoor furnishings of various types, including bronzes, jade, porcelain, woodware, calligraphy and painting, ancient books, etc. During the overhaul, the Palace Museum will cooperate with the Capital Museum to open an exhibition area for the Yangxin Hall.
Strive for "research-based restoration"
Restore the "eight masterpieces" of ancient buildings
"In the past, we invited bids, and the bidding company introduced construction teams, and the construction teams "Construction at the lowest cost will have a destructive impact on the protection of cultural relics." Shan Jixiang said that for this overhaul of the Yangxin Hall, the Palace Museum has proposed to the relevant authorities that it will no longer introduce it through bidding as in the past. Instead of a construction team, a professional team of craftsmen and researchers was formed to strive for "research-based restoration."
Shan Jixiang introduced that the Forbidden City will establish a traditional craft material base for official ancient buildings and a craftsman recruitment, assessment and training mechanism, explore multi-disciplinary cooperative restoration, and strive to restore and continue the healthy state of the Yangxin Hall area. Improve the preservation environment of cultural relics and the quality of visitor visits.
In addition, the Palace Museum will also try to take the overhaul of the Yangxin Hall as an opportunity to restore the "eight major works" of ancient architecture, namely tiles, wood, earth, stone, building materials, paint, color painting, and paper. The craftsman training mechanism builds a professional echelon of document research, protection and restoration, detection and analysis, and value assessment to reserve new forces for the future protection of cultural relics and architectural heritage.
