The Forbidden City Cultural Creation is the Palace Museum's concept of "bringing culture into life", combining modern design concepts and production techniques, integrating the Forbidden City's cultural relics, architecture, historical stories and other elements into daily necessities, allowing people to get close to history and feel the charm of culture.

Specific cultural and creative products: Qianli Jiangshan Folding Fan

The Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains folding fan is a popular cultural and creative product. Its design inspiration comes from the masterpiece "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" by the Northern Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng. This folding fan cleverly combines traditional art with modern craftsmanship, becoming a cultural carrier that is both practical and artistic.

First of all, from the appearance design, the fan surface of the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains folding fan adopts the almost lost "Hua Luo" craft. This craft originated from the Qing Dynasty peony pattern Hua Luo cultural relics collected in the Palace Museum, which has extremely high historical and cultural value. The pattern design of the fan surface is inspired by "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". It depicts the vast rivers, undulating mountains, fishing villages, wild markets, waterside pavilions and other scenes with delicate brushstrokes, forming a beautiful Jiangnan landscape. This design not only shows the beautiful artistic conception of the original work, but also restores the gorgeous colors of the original work, allowing people to feel the charm of Chinese traditional culture at a glance.

Secondly, from the perspective of materials and craftsmanship, the surface of the Qianlijiangshan folding fan is fine, light and transparent, and it uses a silk satin lining, which is natural and echoes the folding fan. The choice of this material not only increases the texture and beauty of the folding fan, but also makes the fan surface more durable and easy to store. At the same time, the folding fan opens and closes smoothly and is very convenient to use. Whether it brings a touch of coolness in the hot summer or appreciates its exquisite patterns in leisure time, it is a pleasant experience.

Finally, from the perspective of cultural value, the Qianlijiangshan folding fan is not only a work of art, but also a carrier for inheriting and promoting Chinese culture. It allows more people to appreciate the charm of traditional Chinese paintings up close and feel the profoundness of Chinese traditional culture. At the same time, by purchasing and using this folding fan, people are also invisibly supporting the development of cultural undertakings and contributing their own strength to inheriting and promoting Chinese culture.

Palace Royal Fan

As a treasure of traditional Chinese culture, the imperial fan is not only a must-have in summer, but also a symbol of status for literati. In the Qing Dynasty, fans were used more and more frequently in the court and among literati. They were of various shapes, made of high-quality materials, exquisitely designed, and profound in meaning.

The pattern design of the imperial fan often contains profound cultural connotations and meanings. For example, the pattern of Huixi Lanlu·The Imperial Fan is taken from the cultural relic "Ivory Braided Inlaid Ivory Dyeing Carved Orchid and Chrysanthemum Pattern Enamel Handle Fan", which selects orchids, autumn chrysanthemums and dragonflies as elements. The picture is vivid and elegant, full and three-dimensional, implying high quality, virtue and elegance. The pattern of the Buddha's Hand Picking Spring·The Imperial Fan is taken from the cultural relic "Crimson Nasha Embroidered Buddha's Hand Flower and Bird Sandalwood Handle Round Fan". The Buddha's hand and a five-colored bird standing quietly on the branch in the pattern complement each other, and the decoration with scroll grass pattern shows the unique charm of court art.

The material and craftsmanship of the imperial fan are also exquisite. The fan surface is mostly made of high-quality materials such as silk and silk, with fine texture, lightness and transparency. The fan handle is made of precious materials such as ivory, enamel, and sandalwood. After fine carving and inlaying, it shows the luxurious temperament of the imperial fan. At the same time, the opening and closing of the imperial fan is smooth and very convenient to use. Whether it brings a touch of coolness in the hot summer or appreciates its exquisite patterns in leisure time, it is a pleasant experience.
In addition to practicality and artistry, the imperial fan also has profound cultural value. It is not only a carrier of Chinese traditional culture, but also a symbol of court culture.
