First of all, Mr. Zhang Hongwei defined the scope of the Jiangnan region in his lecture and introduced the nature of Jiangnan art research and research prospects. He believed that the scope of Jiangnan should be positioned in the Taihu Lake basin. Furthermore, he affirmed that Jiangnan art research is a promising and characteristic research direction with comprehensive academic research approaches.

Second, Mr. Zhang Hongwei elaborated on the relationship between Jiangnan art and the National Palace Museum and its research value. He pointed out that Jiangnan art is an essential branch in Chinese art history and that the National Palace Museum has many collections related to Jiangnan that have not yet been noticed or studied in depth by scholars. He cited the Qianlong emperor as an example, arguing that Qianlong's paintings and calligraphy carry a southern literati complex. The art of Jiangnan went north, closely related to the emperor's will.

Thirdly, Mr. Zhang Hongwei explained how to use the materials of the cultural relics of the Forbidden City, especially for the graduate students who asked how to use the resource materials. He believes that now is a good time to do scholarship, an era of information pouring out. Therefore, he earnestly hoped that graduate students could use the material resources in this era for academic research, especially first-hand information.
