Inside the 9th exhibition hall at Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM)，paintings and sculptures both Louvre Museum and the Palace Museum in Beijing reflect one theme (precise): a historical China-West exchange.
Since the museum opened to the public in July, the museum has welcomed large number of tourists and constant new exhibitions. For those are in charge, it seems they have a rather u permanent mission：making the HKPM a (globe ) center for cultural exchanges between the East and West.
Among the new 69 relics (遗址)are a set of three paintings from the Album of Beasts, (create) by noble painters Yu Sheng and Zhang Weibang during the Qing Dynasty. The 180-page Album of Beasts has been considered as a (combine ) of reality and imagination, as well as
the Orient and Europe, as the two artists painted images of animals from Chinese classics (use) light and shadow techniques typical of Western art. The introduction to the painting explains that this kind of animal (see) as a flying horse when walking on land, but when it flies it becomes the North Star.
For the staff, the best way to introduce to visitors the historic integration between the East and the West (be) to put what the paintings convey right where they can see them.
