A few of us went to the Asian Civilisation Museum on 25 May 09 to see Emperor KangXi’s artifects.
It’s a pity that no photos were allowed to be taken of the exhibits. But I was quite surprised by some of the things shown. Apart from the Emperor’s garb, old paintings etc there were already scientific instruments already in use. There was a protractor, divider and even a sextant.No wonder China was the centre of the world at that time. Kangxi ruled China from 1662 till 1722 ,a total of 60 years.
He was also a Great Producer. He sired 24 sons and 12 daughters from a number of consorts. Indeed a great role model for Singaporeans.
Nevertheless we were able to take some photos with the “Qing Attendants” ……..
