🏛️ The core of the Imperial History Archives - the Golden Chamber - was a specially designed tool for the royal archives of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is specifically used to store the records and teachings of the emperor. The Shilu detailed the important deeds of the emperor during his reign, while the Hadith (known as Baoxun in the Ming Dynasty) is a classified compilation of imperial edicts. These precious archival materials are carefully stored in the main hall of the Imperial History Palace and the Golden Chamber.
🔧 The production process of Jinkui is exquisite, with the interior made of nanmu material, decorated with longevity vine flower yellow silk, wrapped in gilded copper skin, and carved with cloud and dragon patterns. The Ministry of Works of the Qing Dynasty did indeed use gold when making golden chambers, mainly using 80% colored gold as the raw material for making golden chambers. Therefore, calling it the "Golden Chamber" is truly worthy of its name.
📜 Jin Kui not only has important historical value, but also contains rich cultural connotations, reflecting the superb level of royal craftsmanship. It is a vivid embodiment of the royal archive preservation system and an important physical material for historical research.
