China has a long history of establishing customs. The checkpoints of the Western Zhou Dynasty were "movable but unconquerable" and had a military defense function.

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, "customs" were implemented. The customs were responsible for inspecting incoming and outgoing travelers and goods, collecting taxes, and inspecting smuggling. From the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, Pengjiaogou City was established in the southeastern coastal bay, integrating the customs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

During the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the name "customs" was first used as the sea opened up and customs were established. After that, foreigners controlled customs for nearly 100 years, forming a situation where new customs and regular customs coexisted. New China regained sovereignty over customs, established an independent People's Sea, vigorously promoted foreign economic trade, scientific and cultural exchanges, and safeguarded socialist modernization.

When a country is strong, its borders prosper; when a country is weak, its borders decline. Through three thousand years of world changes, more than a hundred years of changes, and more than 60 years of pioneering and enterprising efforts, Chinese customs has always shared the same fate with the country and the nation. In the China Customs Museum, you can explore the history of customs, appreciate customs culture, understand the fate of the country, and witness the rise and fall of the country.
