Project overview
Located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, Deshou Palace was originally the residence of Qin Hui, a prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. After his passing, it was repurposed as an imperial palace and later expanded by Emperor Xiaozong to honor his father. Also known as the “Northern Palace,” it played a significant role in the dynasty’s political and cultural history.
The Deshou Palace Archaeological Museum is a dedicated institution preserving and showcasing the architectural remains and cultural heritage of the Southern Song Dynasty. Integrating the findings of four major excavations, the museum follows the original palace layout and architectural elements, carefully reconstructing the site while protecting its historical integrity. This project represents the most extensive and well-researched Southern Song Dynasty site restoration in China, offering a rare glimpse into the grandeur of ancient imperial architecture.
ZHUART bamboo flooring in the museum
Within the exhibition halls of the Deshou Palace Museum, ZHUART deep-carbonized bamboo flooring was selected for its strength, durability, and sustainability. Made from premium Moso bamboo and processed with advanced high-temperature carbonization, ZHUART Bamboo provides exceptional hardness, density, and dimensional stability—ideal for preserving the integrity of a historic site.
More than just a flooring solution, ZHUART Bamboo represents an eco-friendly approach to heritage conservation, blending modern sustainability with cultural preservation.
