Join us and researcher Anastasiia Akulich as we unravel and reveal Beijing's bustling countryside life in this unique scroll. Created for the Emperor Kangxi’s birthday, this magnificent 24 metre scroll captures all walks of life from the Qing empire in stunning detail and is a highlight of the Rylands’ Chinese Collections. You can see more of these beautiful collections in our current exhibition Qing: China's Multilingual Empire.
