No European, I can swear, had ever entered its secret chambers until last year. One of its most famous treasures was this Key. It was used only to open the special entrance reserved for the Emperor when he came to worship after his succession to the throne--that was, of course, before China became a Republic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
