Established in 1925, The Palace Museum is a large-scale national museum housed on the grounds of the palatial complex of the Ming and Qing dynasties known as the Forbidden City. The most expansive and best-preserved historical palatial complex in the world, it holds a vast collection of over 1.86 million cultural objects based on the Ming and Qing imperial collections.

Inside the Palace Museum, visitors are greeted by exquisite patterns that adorn the eaves, walls, and windows of the grand palace buildings, as well as the furniture, objects, and garments on display. Chinese people take pleasure in embellishing everyday life with rich and diverse symbolic patterns that reflect their love and respect for nature and the living. These patterns, celebrating traditional craftsmanship and an unwavering pursuit of beauty, embody the enduring legacy of Chinese aesthetic sensibilities and cultural values that continue to shape our life today.
