The Palace Museum is the imperial palace of Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368-1911 A.D.). According to the ancient Chinese astrology theory, Ziweiyuan (i.e. Polaris) is located in the middle of heaven, where the Emperor of Heaven resides, and the Heaven and Man correspond. It is also known as the Forbidden City. After taking the throne, Zhu Di, the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, decided to move his capital to Beijing. He began to build palaces in 1406 A.D. and completed them in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1420). In 1911, the 1911 Revolution overthrew China's last feudal monarchy, the Qing Dynasty. In 1924, Emperor Ai Xinjueluo Puyi was expelled from the palace.
After the victory of the 1911 Revolution, the Qing Dynasty government announced its abdication. The Palace should have been nationalized. However, according to the Preferential Conditions for the Qing Dynasty formulated by the interim revolutionary government at that time, Puyi, Emperor Xun, was allowed to "temporarily live in the imperial palace", that is, the "back bed (inner court) in the back of the Forbidden City.

Puyi, who lived in the palace with the remnants of the late Qing Dynasty, had been trying to recover, and stole a large number of cultural relics from the palace under the names of rewards, pawns and repairs, which attracted serious attention from all walks of life. In 1924, Feng Yuxiang launched the "Beijing coup", organized the Regent Cabinet, revised the preferential conditions for the Qing Royal family, expelled Puyi from the palace and took over the Forbidden City, and set up the "Commission for the Rehabilitation of the Qing Dynasty", which was responsible for cleaning up the public and private property of the Qing royal family and dealing with all aftermath matters.

Huang Qian, Fan Yuanlian, Hu Ruoyu, Wu Jingheng, Li Zushen, Li Zhongsan, Wang Daxie, Wang Zhengting, Yu Youren, Li Yunying and so on. Provisional Council is also set up to "carry out the affairs of the whole courtyard", with nine members on board. Build the museum and library. Li Yu-ying is the interim director and chairman, Yi Peiji is the curator of the antiquities museum, and Chen Yuan is the curator of the library.

After the completion of the checkup, a total of 6 volumes and 28 volumes of the Palace Museum Articles Check Report were published, totaling more than 94,000 cultural relics numbered 117,000.
