The Imperial Granary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Imperial Granary (Chinese: 皇家粮仓; Chinese: 皇家糧倉; pinyin: Huángjiāliángcāng) is an ancient storehouse as old as the Forbidden City, which has witnessed the reign of 24 emperors, from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and seen the entire capital history from the time of the Republic of China and subsequent history to the present. It is the imperial storehouse that has survived the ravages of time on the largest scale, and is the one with the most intact current condition. As the terminal of the Grand Canal, the Imperial Granary (Nanxincang) will be selected into the list of China Cultural Heritage.[1]
