Nanjing Museum of modern Chinese history

Nanjing Museum of modern Chinese history (Presidential Palace) has a history of more than 600 years. In the early Ming Dynasty, it was the residence of guide Marquis and the residence of Han king. In the Qing Dynasty, there were Jiangning weaving department, Jiangnan governor department and Liangjiang governor department. When Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty went down to Jiangnan, they all took it as a "Palace". It was called Xuyuan because it was the royal residence of Zhu gaoxu, the second son of Zhu Di, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. It has the unique style of Jiangnan garden.

In March 1853, the Taiping army occupied Nanjing and established its capital in Tianjing, where Hong Xiuquan built a grand palace of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

After the Qing army conquered Nanjing, it burned the palace buildings and rebuilt the governor's office of Liangjiang in 1870. Lin Zexu, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Liu Kunyi, Shen Baozhen, Zuo Zongtang, Zhang Zhidong and duanfang all served as governors of Liangjiang.

After the 1911 Revolution broke out in October 1911, on January 1, 1912, Sun Yat Sen took the oath of office as the provisional president of the Republic of China and established the first Republican state power in Chinese history, the provisional government of the Republic of China.

In April 1912, when the provisional government ended, the Nanjing left behind government was established with Huang Xing as the left behind. In the "second revolution" of 1913, it became the general headquarters of the yuan army, with Huang Xing and he Haiming as the commanders successively.
