This folding mirror with the characteristics of the Forbidden City is inspired by the copper mirror case with the pattern of the sea beast in the collection of the Forbidden City. It replicates the ancient and exquisite carved patterns on the mirror body, integrating practicality and artistry. The folding component design enables the mirror to stand upright on the table easily, freeing up your hands. In terms of material, it abandons the traditional wooden structure and adopts modern composite materials, which are light, thin and portable. Whether placed on the desk or put in a pocket or bag for carrying around, there is no burden at all. The mirror is equipped with a high-definition surface and a magnifying glass, which not only meets the daily touch-up needs but also helps with meticulous local care. In addition, a beautiful cloud-patterned storage bag is also given as a gift. Not only can it be properly stored, but its soft fabric can also be used to wipe the mirror surface, keeping it clean at all times.

This portable mirror from the Forbidden City is closely linked to intangible cultural heritage. The enamel techniques and micro-carving skills integrated into its design are modern interpretations of traditional intangible cultural heritage skills. The aesthetic concepts and cultural symbols carried by the cultural relics in the Forbidden City's collection, which are used for the patterns, are also important parts of the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage, allowing intangible cultural heritage to be vividly presented in daily necessities.
