For the first time, exploring guarding stories across multiple places, narrative upgrades connecting history and future

A century of ups and downs, protected by the whole people, from the Royal Forbidden Garden to the People's Museum, the Palace Museum carries China's excellent traditional culture. Due to the war, cultural relics of the Forbidden City moved southward in batches; due to development, the Forbidden City established the North Courtyard. The story of this century-old museum has long spread to many parts of the motherland. Therefore,"Guardians of the Forbidden City" will break through space and use the Palace Museum located in Beijing as its origin to explore those little-known guarding past events across multiple places for the first time. The audience will go to the Leshan Palace Museum Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall with the "Forbidden City Guardians Searching Team" to the Leshan Palace Cultural Relics Museum, the Forbidden City Cultural Museum in China Hong Kong, the Forbidden City Cultural Museum in Gulangyu, Xiamen and other places to look for the protective mark outside the Forbidden City walls. The program allows the story of the Forbidden City to be presented to the eyes of the Chinese people in a more comprehensive and broader dimension, and also sorts out a clear development context for this century-old "history of protection". As the "guardian" that contributes to the integration of Chinese and Western cultures, Moutai Liquor is the epitome of Moutai's craftsmanship spirit.
