Recently, the "Na Tian Wei Shu -- Han Meilin Tianshu Art Palace Exhibition" opened at the Palace Museum. The exhibition is co-sponsored by the Palace Museum and the Han Meilin Art Foundation, co-organized by the Han Meilin Art Museum, and provided academic support from the Research Center for Chinese Paleography and The Han Meilin Art Research Center of Tsinghua University.

Han Meilin said: "The 'Book of Heaven' is a special existence in my art field, and it is a qualitative improvement and change for my art and inspiration. After decades, Han Meilin searched and recorded tens of thousands of ancient character symbols from the historical relics such as oracle bones, stone carvings, rock paintings, ancient pottery, bronze, pottery, brick inscriptions, stone drums and other historical relics scattered in many places, and spent several years collecting these historical and cultural relics into the "Book of Heaven".

With the "Book of Heaven" as the element, the exhibition is divided into 5 units: "Thousand Miles Road, Ten Thousand Books", "View its Completeness, Know Its Pass", "Take What Is Appropriate, Cast The Present Wind", "Travel in Art, Compete for Freedom", "Boundary Is Not Bounded, Ren Xidong", and exhibit 1500 works, covering various art fields such as ink painting, ceramics, purple sand, printing and dyeing, wood carving, and iron art.

The exhibition is located in the main building of the Noon Gate and the exhibition hall of the West Wild Goose Wing Building, and will last until March 20, 2022.
