Starting from the perspective of children, the play guides teenagers to enter the museum in the form of parent-child dialogue, feel the history and inherit the culture.
Wang Xudong, president of the Palace Museum, introduced that the Palace Museum provided academic guidance for the play, and the creative team completed the creative transformation, and each other's advantages were brought into play to jointly promote the creation of the play.

It is reported that after the completion of the creation and rehearsal, the play will be toured nationwide.
