The history of Chinese toys can be traced back thousands of years ago, but to say that the ancient toy collections are great, they also have to count the beloved toys of the emperors in the Forbidden City in the Qing Dynasty. According to the old customs of the Qing Dynasty, the toys of the emperor's childhood are generally not passed on to the next generation. If they are used, they will be burned. However, the emperor of the late Qing Dynasty was mostly young, and Tongzhi was 6 years old, and Guangxu was 4 years old. The last emperor Xuantong was only 3 years old when he was enthroned. In order to be happy with the "Doll Emperor", the eunuch palace ladies tried their best to make the number of toys in the palace a lot more than the previous one, and most of them were retained.
During the period from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, Chinese society was in the tradition of foreign and foreign exchanges. At this time, the toys in the palace also had the characteristics of combining Chinese and Western cultures and earth-oceans. From traditional clay operas to foreign-inspired music boxes, they can be roughly divided into sounds. Put the three categories of play and puzzle.

Today's children are growing up with a variety of early education CDs and audio books. There were no modern audio equipment in the past, but the children in the palace did not lack acoustic toys.
Traditional vocal toys such as Diabolo and Tyrannosaurus are indispensable. The Diabolo Chinese are no strangers. The Tyrannosaurus is commonly known as the "money stick". In the middle of a bamboo stick about 1 meter long, copper coins are placed in the middle. The children hold the whip and fight, and the copper coins and kites make a sound, which is equal to today’s boys. Beloved "laser weapon".
The tyrants with the sounds will surely give the emperors a lot of joy. Wenzhi martial arts can not be less, the music box chat can be counted as music. Among the various music boxes in the Palace Museum, there is a beautiful rectangular stone-plated bird-sounding cage, made in France in the 19th century. The cage base is equipped with a device for controlling bird activities and tweets. After winding, the bird in the cage whispers with the music and turns its mouth, shaking its wings, and the butterfly in the cage wants to fly. It is a treasure in the mechanical toys of the Forbidden City.
