These are such exquisite objects. I'm glad that China has preserved them as part of the historical record of their incredible culture. Thank you for sharing this with us. It is wonderful to see the fantastic artistry of these craftsman.
That was in the days when artists could spend weeks, months or even years to create something. Today people would never keep an artist for upto years to produce one piece.
Most emperors were actually pretty chill about it. They were constrained by Confucian morals. And most of these artifacts were actually either imported from outside of China or collected from tributary countries.
These were from the "Forbidden City" ? No wonder, cos a lot of them looks quite Muslim, or Iranian, and foreign. Or is that because some of those items were part of the Chinese-Muslim heritages, of which, they have never had an actual "leader" to rule that section of the trading route? Well.. Carrie Lam being a Cheng, which is based on a muslim-chinese surname must be overjoyed. So basically, these items should belong to Malaysia ? Where their population of Chinese-muslim exists ???
Some of those items... they are Russian relics.. Especially those clock mechanisms and things like that. Cos it reminds us of Eastern European orthodoxy....
I am surprised the P.R.C. museums have any items left.The nationalists looted most museums on the mainland in 1949 and brought all these looted treasures to Taiwan.

Too quick, no time to savour and appreciate the fine art work. Only sad to think such pieces were created while millions suffered.
Thank you for the video. It shows amazing craftmanship! I am glad they were saved!
A slight tendency to overdecoration....though beautiful ceramics and a splendid dragon. Interesting diversity.
My eyes were just wide😳 soo beautiful they were
I like it its so amazing craftmanship, really appreciate if you could let us know the information about year of that artwork exist
Genius, they put a clock on a vase,
Some narration describing the objects and time periods would’ve been helpful. Were they all from the same dynasty? Which one(s)?
That was back when artists lost Thier heads if the emperor didn't like it.lol.
