Here mainly refers to the treasures of Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan paintings collected by the Palace Museum. As the largest museum in China, the Palace Museum has nearly 50,000 famous paintings of past dynasties, including nearly 1,000 national first-class cultural relics, and more than 400 fine paintings before the Yuan Dynasty, ranking first in the number of national museums, including almost all famous paintings of China in various historical periods. Many of these works are rare treasures, or unique original works that have survived disasters, or masterpieces of masters and masters in the history of art, which combine the essence with the grand view. Therefore, painting collection has become the top priority of the art collection of the Palace Museum. Although the Palace Museum also provided 22 collections (including calligraphy works) in the "National Treasure Exhibition of Painting and Calligraphy in Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties" held in Shanghai the year before last, this is only a small part of the painting collection of the Palace Museum, which is not enough to reflect the whole picture of the painting collection of the Palace Museum. This time, the Palace Museum promised to provide the Shanghai World Expo with the best representative paintings of the Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties (not repeating the exhibits of the last National Treasure Exhibition).
Second, the calligraphy of past dynasties is extremely easy to think about.
Calligraphy is different from calligraphy. Calligraphy is a respectful name for the ink of ancient famous artists, which contains the meaning of a model of calligraphy works. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Forbidden City concentrated on collecting ancient calligraphy works, which can be seen in the descriptions of Peiwenzhai Calligraphy Manual compiled by Kangxi and Shiqu Baodi compiled by Qianlong and Jiaqing. At the beginning of the last century, before and after the emperor abdicated in the late Qing Dynasty, the collection was scattered. Some of them have crossed the Taiwan Strait and are kept in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. After liberation, due to the concern of the government and the contributions of many collectors (,Chen Shutong, Luo,), many fine works were returned to the Palace Museum, and the calligraphy treasure house of the Palace Museum was rebuilt, enjoying a high reputation at home and abroad. These calligraphy books, whether letters, poems, classics or manuscripts, are magnificent, spectacular and superb in thought.
All three countries have excellent clock technology.
The Palace Museum has the richest collection of 18 to 19 mechanical clocks and watches in the world. There are 1000 kinds of clocks and watches, which attract audiences all over the world with their unique characteristics. These clocks include the China clock and the European clock. China clocks were made in Qing Palace, Guangzhou and Suzhou at that time. European clocks and watches are made in Britain, France, Switzerland, the United States, Japan and other countries, among which British clocks and watches are especially famous for their beautiful shape, wide variety and large quantity. From this, we can appreciate the exquisite skills of Chinese and foreign clock manufacturing more than 100 years ago.

Emperors and empresses in the Qing Dynasty lived a luxurious life. In the palace, they possess a large number of gold, silver, pearls, precious stones and jade articles, and use these treasures to make various costumes, jewels, daily necessities and furnishings in the palace.
