In the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), it was introduced to Beijing, and many skilled craftsmen in lacquer carving migrated here as Beijing became the capital. The Jagiellonian University Museum houses a carved lacquer box from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, which embodies the exquisite craftsmanship and pursuit of beauty of royal workshops in the Qing Dynasty. It is a precious heritage of traditional Chinese arts and crafts.
