As we all know, the Forbidden City, as one of the largest and most complete wooden structures in the world, has a large collection, ancient books and calligraphy and painting treasures, so it is a treasure house of well-known works of art inside and outside. As one of the "Top Ten Buildings in the Capital", although the Great Hall of the People is as famous as the Forbidden City, it seems that few people will associate its collection of calligraphy and paintings, because it gives the impression that it is the place where large conferences are held. But in fact, this building, which took less than a year from design, architecture to decoration, is another treasure house in addition to the Forbidden City, which stores a large number of outstanding and excellent calligraphy and painting works.
The Great Hall of the People has a total of 33 local conference halls, as well as the welcome hall and banquet hall, the national reception hall, and the golden hall. The Great Hall of the People has a special status, and in order to increase its beauty, the central government has decorated it with many outstanding works of calligraphy and painting. The selection of these themes mainly includes the Great Wall, mountains and rivers, welcome pines, flowers, etc. These works can make the Great Hall of the People not only look magnificent, but also show our national characteristics.
For more than half a century, the Great Hall of the People has collected more than 1,000 works, including works by famous calligraphers and painters such as Qi Baishi, Fu Baoshi, Guan Shanyue, and Pan Tianshou.
