On October 3, the sixth volume of "Kangxi Southern Tour Map" collected by the Qing Palace was scattered and lost for the first time in the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center after more than a hundred years.
The sixth volume of "Kangxi Southern Tour" will be publicly exhibited at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center from October 3 to 8.
The volume was divided into several segments and lost overseas. After years of efforts by Sotheby's Auction Company, all segments have now been discovered and finally turned into a complete volume.
The complete picture of Kangxi Southern Tour has twelve volumes. The first, nine, ten, eleven and twelve volumes are currently in the Palace Museum in Beijing, the second and fourth volumes are in the Guimet Museum in Paris, and the third volume is in New York. The Metropolitan Museum and the seventh volume are in the Museum of the University of Alberta, Canada. The fifth and eighth volumes are still missing.
The full set of twelve volumes currently only has the sixth volume in a private collection.
