According to a previous report by Observer.com, the Kuomintang "legislator" Chen Yixin reported damage to the cultural relics of the Palace Museum in Taipei in the "legislative body" in Taiwan on October 28, accusing the director of the institute Wu Micha of trying to hide. Wu Micha held a press conference on the same day to admit that three cultural relics were damaged, namely "Ming Hongzhi Fragrant Yellow Green Colored Double Dragon Small Bowl", "Qing Kangxi Dark Dragon White Li Small Yellow Porcelain Bowl" and "Qing Qianlong Blue and White Flower Plate", saying that they would investigate and punish according to regulations, and would formulate a budget to improve porcelain packaging.
On October 31, the Taipei Palace Museum submitted a preliminary investigation report on "Ming Hongzhi, delicate yellow and green colored two dragons" and "Qing Kangxi, dark dragon and small yellow porcelain bowl", saying that when the cultural relics were broken or related to the iron box, it was caused by human pressure and compression or space reduction, it may also be due to hidden injuries or cracks that were invisible to the naked eye before (pronunciation is the same as "question", traces of ceramics when they will crack). Another investigation report on the "Qing Dynasty Qianlong Blue and White Flower Plate" that was identified as "man-made damage" was not submitted by the Taipei Palace Museum.
Three damaged cultural relics
On the evening of November 3, Wu Micha, director of the Palace Museum in Taipei, appeared on the TV program "What to say" of Taiwan's "Public Video" and announced the investigation results and punishment decisions for the "Qing Dynasty Qianlong Blue and White Flower Plate".
Wu Micha described the process of the staff "missing" breaking cultural relics, saying that the incident occurred on May 19 this year, when the staff were sorting out cultural relics. Among them, there was a brocade box containing 6 cultural relics. A staff member took out 4 cultural relics from the box when he was sorting it out. He forgot to remind his colleague that there were cultural relics in the brocade box, and even forgot to button the box. Another staff member found that the cloth inside the brocade box was a bit off, so he thought to stick the cloth back. He mistakenly thought that all the six cultural relics in the brocade box had been taken out, so he turned over the brocade box to repair it. Two cultural relics that had not been taken out had fallen out like this, one of them was caught, and the other "Qing Qianlong blue and white flower plate" was thrown to the ground and broken.
According to the photos previously released by the Palace Museum in Taipei, the "Qing Dynasty Qianlong Blue and White Flower Plate" fell from a high place due to staff negligence and broke into 7 pieces of uneven sizes.

Wu Micha said that after watching the surveillance video and listening to the oral statements of colleagues, the investigation team confirmed that both of them were wrong. Among them, the staff member who turned the brocade box and caused the cultural relics to break was punished with a serious punishment for his official duties; the other staff member did not fasten the box because the cultural relics box he took out was not properly taken care of, and did not fasten the box without the cultural relics in the box, which caused others to damage the cultural relics due to the mercy, and was punished with twice assertions.
Wu Micha apologized to the public for the damage to cultural relics at the end of the program, and promised that he would protect cultural relics more carefully. In addition, Wu Micha also said that damage to cultural relics is inevitable and hopes that the public can understand. He said that the injury must be minimized, especially human-caused injuries.

Wu Micha's so-called "misunderstanding" rhetoric and the Taipei Palace Museum's punishment of the two staff members involved only made a demerit and aroused dissatisfaction among the people on the island.
Some netizens angrily scolded: "This is really a big deal."
" is all national treasures, and you are not cautious and afraid at all, which shows how casual the work attitude is! "
" breaks an antique, it's tens of millions! Only one is bigger than that, alas..."
Someone angrily scolded the DPP authorities: "The entire government has been broken from beginning to end. ”
” The responsibility for power outage is thrown to birds and animals! Hundreds of millions of cultural relics have been broken, but it is just a "misunderstanding"! This government is really irritating! ”
Wu Micha’s remarks also made Chen Yixin, the Kuomintang “legislator” who was the first to reveal the damage to cultural relics, very dissatisfied. He spoke in Taiwan’s “Legislative Yuan” on November 4 and criticized that the investigation of the Forbidden City in Taipei was like squeezing toothpaste and driving a ox cart. The outside world forced it to announce it, and the more it was announced, the more suspicious points it was.
He asked why the Forbidden City in Taipei was reluctant to hand over the investigation report of the “Qing Dynasty Qianlong Blue and White Flower Plate” that was artificially damaged, while Wu Micha, as the president, disclosed the investigation content to the media on the 3rd. “Will the Forbidden City in Taipei be responsible to the ‘legislative body’ or to the media? ”
Chen Yixin also pointed out the suspicious points in the investigation of the damage incident of the "Ming Hongzhi, the delicate yellow and green colored double dragon small bowl" in his speech. This cultural relic was found to be damaged on February 3 last year, and Wu Micha immediately reported to Taiwan's "President" Su Zhenchang, "But why did the on-site exploration wait until 3 weeks later? Why does it take 3 months to review the materials? Why does the interview with relevant personnel have to wait until half a year before it is held? What are you waiting for inquiries about the Taipei Forbidden City investigation? "Chen Yixin questioned repeatedly.
Chen Yixin also said that internal news from the Taipei Palace Museum revealed that the entire investigation process had 6 hours of recordings, but the Taipei Palace Museum has not made it public. He asked the Taiwan "Executive Yuan" to instruct the Taipei Palace Museum to disclose the text content of the 6-hour recordings and disclose the truth to the public.

Chen Yixin said that the Taipei Palace Museum neglected the national treasures at this point because the DPP authorities intend to "de-Sinicize" the Forbidden City in Taipei. For this reason, they did not hesitate to downgrade the South Court of the Forbidden City to the Asian Art Museum. This is also the reason why the DPP government deliberately ignored the Forbidden City's professionalism, ideological first, and used laymen to lead experts.
"Especially after Wu Micha took office, he arbitrarily changed the internal structure of the Forbidden City, unreasonably tidied up different departments, and even introduced a large number of old and old confidants, and changed their blood inside the Forbidden City, intending to politically transform the Forbidden City, which hurt the Forbidden City the most. "Wu Micha criticized.
Previously, the Kuomintang's "legislative body" party group held a press conference to ask Wu Micha to step down, and asked the Taipei Palace Museum to publish surveillance images, comprehensively take stock of the cultural relics, and ask experts to appraise relevant cultural relics; the administrative agencies of the Taiwan authorities should set up a special task force to investigate the Taipei Palace Museum, and the legislative, educational and cultural institutions of the Taiwan authorities should also investigate together.
