A special exhibition featuring the moving of China's capital during the Ming Dynasty launched on Saturday in the Capital Museum in Beijing. It is part of the celebration of the upcoming Spring Festival.

Co-held by the Capital Museum, Nanjing Museum, and Nanjing Museum Administration, the "1420: From Nanjing to Beijing" exhibition is centered on the historic events during Zhu Di's reign, also known as the Yongle Emperor (rule 1402-1424) in Ming Dynasty, who moved the country's capital from Nanjing to Beijing.

That's also believed to be the origin of the world-famous Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the imperial dish Peking Roast Duck.

A total collection of 267 cultural relics, including 37 first-class items, are on display. The exhibition will run about six months in Beijing and begin its itinerant tour later with Nanjing as the expected second destination.
