BEIJING, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday called for the Palace Museum to be made an important base for patriotic education and a significant window for the world to understand Chinese civilization and the Chinese nation.
Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks in Beijing while visiting an exhibition dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Palace Museum.
The exhibition, themed “A Century of Preservation: From the Forbidden City to the Palace Museum,” features 200 valuable cultural relics and documents, including masterpieces of calligraphy and painting, bronze and jade artifacts, and chronicles the development of the museum.
During his visit, Xi Jinping listened attentively to information about the exhibits on display and frequently stopped to look at the relics and ask more about them.
Calling the Palace Museum an important symbol of Chinese civilization, Xi Jinping pointed out that the museum should develop its fine traditions, adhere to the principle that cultural relics belong to and serve the people, strengthen their protection and restoration, and increase their active use.
The exhibition was also visited by Cai Qi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee and a member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee.
On October 10, 1925, the Forbidden City—a vast walled complex that was once the palace of Chinese emperors—opened to the public for the first time, displaying priceless collections of imperial art. This date is considered the founding day of the Palace Museum.
