Abstract
Abstract. The existing interior decoration of Qing Dynasty is the master of that of each dynasty, with its diversified forms and complicated functions. As early as 1920s, the Rehabilitation Committee of Qing court recorded the interior furnishing in the Forbidden City by using Chinese traditional documentary method. Today, along with the constantly updated techniques, the recording method for the current situation of interior decoration has gradually developed from two-dimensional drawings into digital and comprehensive record. However, the current research results are mostly limited to a single field. This paper takes the digital record and reproduction about the current situation of interior decoration in Jingfu Palace in the Forbidden City as an example. Through the use of photogrammetry, 3D laser scanning, virtual display and other technology and equipment at the forefront of architectural field, it makes qualitative and quantitative record about the interior decoration inside Jingfu Palace. By combing with the interpretation of historical documents, it restores the original design ideas hidden behind the current situation of interior decoration, so as to summarize the best recording and reproducing method of interior decoration of Qing Dynasty.

Use the way of drawing sketches, photographs to record the Jingfu Palace interior decoration mortise and tenon form and dimension information, and through software modeling method to complete the the three-dimensional record of mortise and tenon structure. (Figure 14) The dimension information of the cloud nail structure is recorded by the method of drawing sketch, and the form information is recorded by extension sampling and shooting the positive photograph.

Summary
1.2.1 Image Record Since the late Qing Dynasty, with the decline of China's national power, the western colonists inspected the old buildings in China at the same time as the cultural output. Published in 1926, “The Forbidden City of Peking ”includes a total of 14 pieces of architectural drawings and 274 pieces of photographs. Before and after 20th Century, Japanese scholars took the decoration of Chinese traditional architecture as the focus of the investigation, and took many photos of interior decoration. 1.2.3 Image, Text and Survey Drawing Record When foreign scholars surveyed Chinese architecture on a large scale, the Institute for Research in Chinese Architecture began to use western surveying and mapping methods to survey Chinese traditional architecture. In the last forty years, the scholars have been using the combination of three methods of image, text and survey drawings to record the interior decoration. Take Bishachu of Taijidian as an example, the contents are based on photo records, with survey drawings, together with a summary of written records to reproduce the Forbidden City interior decoration. The survey drawing develops from the control dimension record to multi-level record with the detail dimension, decoration motif and so on
