The Palace Museum, the China Arts and Entertainment Group and Beijing Gehua Cultural Development Group recently signed an agreement to co-produce a large-scale cultural show named The Forbidden City.
The production tells how the Ming Emperor Zhu Di (1360-1424) established his capital at Beijing and constructed the Forbidden City, and narrates the epic construction of the royal complex.
The whole show contains several chapters organized in chronological sequence, such as Establishing the Capital, Migration and Blue Print. During the performance, a miniature Forbidden City will rise up, and the audience can even walk through its central axis.
