- Description:
The Emperor Qianlong seemed to be very fond of all kinds of things that he could enjoy. Therefore, hundreds of pieces of different outer boxes were displayed in the palace. However, the Emperor Qianlong, who liked to travel around, was also very particular about tables for going out. As can be seen from the “Work File” of the sixth year of Qianlong’s reign, the Emperor Qianlong ordered the production of “a hundred pieces of nanmu folding table for going out”. Compared with the courtyard collection, it was indeed a nanmu low table or kang table. The legs of the table could be disassembled and put into the large drawer of the table. The large drawer was assembled in the form of hundreds of pieces. In addition to all kinds of stationery, there are also all kinds of exquisite literary toys. It can be imagined that the emperor needs to write and paint when he travels. He can freely create and enjoy cultural relics by putting the table on it and taking out the contents. This luxurious elegance is embodied here.
