Why is the Palace Museum in Hong Kong in Hong Kong? This problem is the focus of attention from all walks of life. Shan Xiangxiang's new book may have a good answer. In the book, Shan Xiangxiang reviewed the history of Hong Kong's historical architecture, and focused on the innovation achievements of the "Activating Historical Architecture Partner Plan" and the beginning and end of the construction of the Hong Kong Palace Museum. Among them, there is an interpretation of the Hong Kong urban planning, but also with nearly a hundred historical buildings as a clue, telling the experience of Hong Kong in the protection of cultural heritage and the story of Hong Kong.

Based on the long -term close cooperation with the Hong Kong Museum industry, both the Palace Museum and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government hopes to use their advantages to further strengthen cooperation in the exhibition, research and education field. Shan Xiangxiang recalled: "In September 2015, I invited Ms. Lin Zhengyue, director of the Government Department of the Government of the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong to participate in the unveiling ceremony of the training center of the International Cultural Relics Association." This meeting, Shan Yixiang proposed whether he could be in Hong Kong. Build a museum that has long -term display of the Forbidden City and Chinese culture. "This suggestion seemed to be whimsical at the time, but Lin Zhengyue thought it was a very good idea, and said that he would conduct feasible research after returning to Hong Kong."

In December 2015, Shan Xiangxiang visited Lin Zheng Yue'e again to discuss the exchanges and cooperation between the Palace Museum and the Hong Kong Museum. The Palace Museum and the Hong Kong Museum have jointly held a number of large -scale cultural relics exhibitions, both of which have been successful, attracting hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong citizens and visitors to visit. However, if the cultural relics and collections of the Palace Museum should be displayed for a long time and large scale, there are limitations in the exhibition space and the exhibition period, and it is impossible to hold a number of exhibitions for a long time. To this end, whether it can build a museum in Hong Kong to display the Palace Museum culture, in the form of a fixed place and replacing exhibits, it shows the colorful Forbidden City culture and precious cultural relics, causing thinking.

In March 2016, Shan Xiangxiang inspected the site selection of the Hong Kong Palace Museum in the Hong Kong Palace Museum in Hong Kong. "The Cultural Museum of the Hong Kong Palace Museum is located in the Linhai area of ​​the beautiful West Kowloon Cultural Area. It is located in the core area of ​​the Hong Kong city. Only in order to have a solid foundation, and we can build its own existence value based on the forest of the world's cultural and artistic facilities. Cultural facilities are very consistent. "Shan Yixiang believes that the construction of a museum specializing in traditional Chinese art and culture in the West Kowloon Cultural District is the most suitable choice.

On December 23, 2016, in the reporting hall of the Palace Museum, Lin Zhengyue, then director of the Government Department of the Government of the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong, was the chairman of the board of directors of the West Nine Administration Bureau. The District Administration will officially launch the Hong Kong Palace Museum Cultural Museum project on the Memorandum of Cooperation of the Cultural Museum of the Hong Kong Palace Museum.

According to the content of the cooperation memorandum, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government will set up a venue for displaying the culture of the Forbidden City in the Western Kowloon Cultural District, and name it "Hong Kong Palace Museum Cultural Museum". In the five aspects of the Palace Museum's cultural and creative products, create a comprehensive display space for the Palace Museum with unique Chinese traditional cultural characteristics.

After that, Shan Xiangxiang went to Hong Kong many times to visit. Whether it is a lecture or an interview with the media, he has repeatedly emphasized that the construction of the Hong Kong Palace Museum of the Palace Museum is responsible for history, cities, and people, and is an important measure based on long -term.

After the chief of the Hong Kong Palace Museum of Cultural Museum, after the global public recruitment, it was decided that Dr. Wu Zhihua, deputy director of the Hong Kong Kangle and Cultural Affairs Department was appointed. After the Hong Kong Palace Museum is opened, there are no more than 10,000 viewers daily. The Wu Zhihua Pavilion stayed for a long time, and the Forbidden City culture moved from the "House Culture" to the "Daqian World", expanding the audience from more than 7 million people in Hong Kong to the 70 million people in the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area, and then walked into the cultural life of people from all over the world.
