History

The special feature of the Qingming role is that it is one of the few paintings of the former imperial collection, which today are located in the People's Republic of China. Puyi appreciated this very much and took it with him when he was installed by the Japanese as Emperor of Manchukuo. Thus, it was no longer in the Forbidden City, as the Guomindang the art of the Imperial Palace led away in their flight to Taiwan.

In 1945, the Qingming role has been bought back to Beijing and has since been in the Palace Museum.

Kaifeng was the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.
