Meng Dandan Beijing Report
Wang Xudong, dean of the Palace Museum, revealed that the daily daily streaming tourists in the Forbidden City of Beijing will be greatly reduced to 40,000, which is only half of the number of people in front of the epidemic, and the Forbidden City is quiet.
Wang Xudong participated in the lectures and symposiums of Chinese and foreign media hosted by the "Palace Museum of Humans together" hosted by the Chinese Records Association yesterday."Everyone can calm down to feel this human heritage."
Affected by the epidemic of crown disease, the number of tourists in the Palace Museum in Beijing dropped from more than 19 million in 2019 to more than 3 million last year.According to media reports, during the epidemic in last year, the Forbidden City restored 5,000 people daily when it was restored on May 1, raised to 8,000 people per day on May 12, and remedied in July to 12,000.
During the Spring Festival this year, the Forbidden City was open normally from the first to the sixth day of the New Year, with a daily reservation of 30,000 people.
Wang Xudong said yesterday that after the daily stream, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to experience the Palace Museum, but through digital technologies such as live broadcast, some tourists can not go home and can still understand the diversified value of the Forbidden City from different perspectives.
Wang Xudong took over as Dan Xiangxiang, Dean of the Palace Museum in April 2019, and became the seventh head of the Forbidden City. He was previously the Dean of the Dunhuang Research Institute.
The fire of the Paris Master is the safe use of the Forbidden City
He was also asked by a reporter yesterday that the Palace Museum in Beijing was revealed by the fire from the Paris Dames, and emphasized that the alarm of the Paris Virgin fire was the safe use of the Palace Museum.
In the Lantern Festival in 2019, the Forbidden City once held the "Night of the Forbidden City" cultural activity, and opened the night light show for the first time, which caused countless controversy.
Wang Xudong did not mention whether he would reopen the night, but he said that he would "constantly reduce the scale of electricity in the building."He joked that since he took office in the Forbidden City, he "stopped the lighting in the hall" "Maybe it was a bit disrespectful to my former dean."
He explained that electricity safety is the top priority of the fire safety of the Forbidden City.The Palace Museum carries the mission of Ping An Palace, Academic Palace, Digital Palace Museum, and the "Four Forbidden City" in the Palace Museum. Among them, the "Ping An Forbidden City" is the first to use technology and management methods to truly and complete the safety of inheriting the cultural relics of the Palace Museum.
