The Beijing Eight Imperial Handicrafts Museum is hosting an exhibition titled "Legacy of Beijing and Inheritance of Craftsmanship — A Retrospective of Masterpieces by Late Masters of Eight Imperial Handicrafts". Over 20 classic works by five late inheritors of the relevant techniques are on display.

 

This time, the museum has also introduced two kinds of creative souvenirs based on two exhibits, namely the refrigerator magnets inspired by Beijing-style longpao (dragon robe) and the bookmarks incorporating the calligraphic work "Baishoutu" (百寿图, which consists of 100 variants of the Chinese character "寿" that means "lifespan" and "longevity").
