黑料不打烊

This exhibition, entitled Treasures from the National Palace Museum鈥檚 Collection of Qing dynasty Historical Documents, makes public archives that were once guarded in the imperial palace and kept strictly out of bounds. Imperial decrees, official documents, palace memorials, biographies of eminent officials, and maps and illustrations all help visitors garner an understanding of the development of official documentation during the Qing dynasty. In addition, they offer a glimpse into how the Qing government was administered, the secrets of court life, and the relationship between emperors and their officials, as well as the politico-economic and cultural landscapes, and the rise and fall, of the dynasty. The exhibition also features a dedicated section for archives relating to Taiwan. During the Qing dynasty, the local affairs and living conditions of the people on the island off the southeast coast of China were a focus of the court鈥檚 attention, and thus many official documents, memorials, maps, and local gazetteers were produced. The selected items in this section offer visitors an overview of the people, places, affairs, and products of Taiwan as documented during the Qing dynasty, providing testimony to the Qing court鈥檚 management of Taiwan over a span of more than two hundred years.
