The image shows a display in the Palace Museum in Beijing, China (latitude: 39.882, longitude: 116.407). The display contains three framed, rectangular pieces of paper, each showing a diagram with Chinese text, including some illustrations. The text on the bottom of the display says "《大明会典》中的相关记载," which translates to "Relevant records in the Great Ming Code." The text to the right of the diagrams says: "According to the "Ming History" records, at the beginning, the Ming dynasty did not have a specific system for bestowing the title of "Grand Secretary". In the early years, the title was bestowed based on the "Order of the Emperor." When the Emperor's eldest son was crowned the Prince, the Grand Secretary, the Grand Tutor and the Commander in Chief were each given a title. This was the case with the Emperor's first son, who would be granted the title of Prince of the Heir Apparent. Subsequently, there was an additional decree regarding the granting of the title of Heir Apparent, which stated that the title should be conferred on the Emperor's eldest son, who would then be bestowed with the title of Grand Secretary. During the reign of the Hongwu Emperor, the Imperial Court did not have a specific system for granting this title. Over time, there have been subtle shifts in the bestowing of this title, resulting in a unique and consistent pattern."
