the furniture, made of expensive red sandalwood, are produced by means
of the Chinese traditional workmanship, and sculpted by skillful craftsmen
from all over the country, especially the success of the large scale
red sandalwood sculpture "Qing Ming Shang He Tu" (Picture
of a Busy Market in the Capital City of Song Dynasty), which caused
a sensation at home and abroad. Evaluated by experts of the Palace
Museum, it has an extremely high value for collection, and is a rare
art treasure. Due to Chen lihua's outstanding contribution to the
Chinese traditional culture, she was known as "queen of red sandalwood
in China" by overseas media. To better preserve and research
Ming and Qing furniture, Chen Lihua invested 200 million yuan in building
the China Red Sandalwood Museum beside the Jingtong Highway in Beijing,
which opened to the public on September 19,1999. With nearly a thousand
furniture selections displayed, which are mostly red sandalwood furniture
of Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Museum becomes the first place in
the world where Chinese classical furniture is collected, displayed
and researched, which is also a precious tribute to the 50th Anniversary
