Now you enter the hall in the back passage. Here it is worth noting the paintings on the ceiling beams, which date from the second half of the 16th century. Chinese semi-precious stone products are on display in this hall. They have been made in China since the earliest times, at least for five thousand years. They have always had a special significance for the Chinese. Symbolic and ritual objects were made from materials such as jasper and jade, which were considered more valuable than gold. They were also used to make luxury articles of daily use.
The collection features semi-precious stone wares dating back to the Qing dynasty, mainly from the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (1736-1795). The artifacts on display, made of jade, agate and soapstone, were elements of the interior design of a wealthy Chinese home.
