  For example, before we hold a large-scale exhibition in the Forbidden City, we often hold a cultural and creative seminar half a year or a year ago. We hope that experts who develop cultural and creative products for the Forbidden City and these design units will know that you are going to hold this exhibition. What kind of exhibition, what is the theme of this exhibition, and if any important cultural relics appear, they will think and design when they go back.

Half a year later, a year later, when the exhibition opens, cultural and creative products have been made, so that they can be launched in time.
