Due to the incident of Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, mainland China held a large-scale military exercise in the sea and airspace near Taiwan. At the same time, fierce news suddenly broke out on the island that Taipei Palace Museum is preparing to smuggle the essence of cultural relics preserved in the museum to Japan and the United States. After the incident fermented on the Internet, it immediately attracted high attention from all parties. Then the Palace Museum in Taipei immediately stood up and said that this was not the case, and the related remarks were all spreading rumors. The Internet has memories, and netizens immediately found out the news in April to express their doubts. The Taipei Palace Museum had already made such an attempt as early as April this year, and planned to smuggle cultural relics abroad when the situation in the Taiwan Strait is tense. The Taipei Palace Museum obviously cannot cover up this attempt with just one rumor. If the Taipei Palace Museum dares to smuggle cultural relics when mainland China liberates Taiwan, mainland China will definitely respond.
First of all, it is necessary to understand the establishment process of the Palace Museum in Taipei. As we all know, after Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan in 1949, he not only took away the army and the gold and silver stored in Nanjing and Shanghai during his retreat, but also brought a large number of precious cultural relics to Taiwan. At that time, in order to preserve these cultural relics, the Taipei Palace Museum was built. Previously, many of the treasures in the Taipei Palace Museum mainly came from the Palace Museum.
1912 1 Revolution was successful, Empress Dowager Longyu signed the "Edict of the Abdication of Emperor Qing", and the Qing Dynasty ended. Despite this, Yuan Shikai, who succeeded the President of the Republic of China, considered that he was once a minister of the Qing Dynasty, and when negotiating with Sun Yat-sen and other revolutionaries, he specifically proposed preferential treatment clauses to require preferential treatment of the Qing royal family. First, the little emperor Puyi still lived in the Forbidden City; second, the government of the Republic of China provided 4 million taels of silver as living expenses every year to the Qing royal family; third, the little emperor Puyi could still maintain his abdication. Under this situation, the "country among the country" was created at the factual level. From 1912 to 1924, the cultural relics stored in the Forbidden City for hundreds of years were always in the hands of the little emperor Puyi. In 1924, Feng Yuxiang launched a Beijing coup, driving Puyi's little emperor out of the Forbidden City and taking over it by himself. Since then, the Forbidden City has been converted into the Palace Museum as a place for cultural relics protection, and it is also opened as a park. At that time, Beijing tourists were even able to enter and exit the area of Zhongnanhai at that time.
Since Puyi was kicked out of the palace in the 1924 coup in Beijing and established the Palace Museum to manage cultural relics in the Forbidden City, the cultural relics in the Palace Museum have experienced some turmoil. After the "918th Incident " in 1931, the relevant people from Peking had already felt that the north might be unstable. The Palace Museum reported to the Nanjing government and prepared to pack all the treasures that could be taken away from the Palace Museum to Shanghai. During the September 18th Incident in 1931, only the catalog was prepared and a large number of boxes suitable for transporting cultural relics were ordered, and no real action was taken. The Great Wall Anti-Japanese War Campaign occurred in 1933, and the situation in the north became further unstable. " Great Wall Anti-Japanese War " mainly occurred in the area of Gubeikou and Miyun, which was too close to Peking at that time. In 1935, the Japanese instigated the Yin Rugeng Hebei Autonomy, which directly caused the North China Incident , and the North China region became a colony of Japan in disguise.
Under this situation, two major events also occurred in the cultural and educational circles in Peking. One of them was that the head of the Forbidden City at that time began the southward migration of cultural relics under the order of the Nanjing government. These cultural relics were escorted all the way and transported to Shanghai by railway. At that time, the Nanjing Central Museum was under construction, and the place was too small to preserve cultural relics, so this batch of cultural relics was mainly stored in Shanghai. The second is Tsinghua University new president Mei Yiqi said that North China is unstable. If Tsinghua University continues to teach here and continues to build high-rise buildings, it may cause huge losses. Therefore, Mei Yiqi said: "The greatness of a university is not about the high-rise buildings, but about the profoundness of knowledge." This sentence is now familiar. Later, Mei Yiqi sent someone to buy a piece of land in Yuelu Mountain, Changsha to prepare for the construction of a temporary resettlement site for Tsinghua University.
After the treasures of the Palace Museum were sent to Shanghai for storage, the full-scale war of resistance broke out in the past two years, followed by the Second Shanghai War of Resistance in Shanghai on August 13, and the cultural relics moved south and finally arrived in Chongqing. In 1945, Japan surrendered to , and in 1946, the National Government officially returned to Nanjing, and these cultural relics slowly returned to their original location. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek also considered that the power of the National Government had not yet fully grasped North China, so these cultural relics were still stored in Nanjing and not opened. After the end of in 1948, Chiang Kai-shek had already felt the feeling of the decline of the rivers and the end of the dynasty. Therefore, he sent these cultural relics that did not have Kaifeng during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression directly to Taipei. This is the origin of the rare cultural relics in the Palace Museum in Taipei.
Secondly, after understanding the ins and outs of the Palace Museum in Taipei, you can also make a judgment on the authenticity of the smuggling of cultural relics in the Palace Museum in Taipei.
First, judging from the existing information, the smuggling of cultural relics is one of the important contents in Tsai Ing-wen's "Taiwan independence plan", and Tsai Ing-wen made this plan out of various thoughts.
On the one hand, every cultural relics in the Palace Museum in Taipei is indeed all fine products. At that time, when the Palace Museum's cultural relics moved south or when Chiang Kai-shek brought them to Taiwan, many large cultural relics could not be taken away. Now when visiting the Palace Museum, the large urn and large tripods seen on the Hall of Supreme Harmony were obviously unable to be carried, so they had to bring some convenient cultural relics and treasures. Therefore, compared with the fine cultural relics stored in the Taipei Palace Museum, the Taipei Palace Museum has a slightly better collection. From the perspective of cultural relics value, if Tsai Ing-wen wants to engage in "Taiwan independence", she will inevitably work hard on this.
On the other hand, the reason why Tsai Ing-wen made the smuggling of cultural relics as one of the important contents when formulating the "Taiwan independence plan" is due to an important political tradition. If you are familiar with the history of Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, you can know the idiom "winning the world". From Shang Dynasty to Zhou Dynasty , only the emperor is worthy of having the identity and status of " Jiuding ". "winning the world" actually represents the legitimacy of the regime. If Tsai Ing-wen wants to engage in "Taiwan independence", she will never let go of the rare cultural relics in the Palace Museum in Taipei. Behind each treasure is the inheritance of the national spirit and the continuation of cultural bloodline. Therefore, no matter from the political attributes rich in cultural relics valued by the sea, if Tsai Ing-wen wants to engage in "Taiwan independence", if she fails to succeed in the end, she will inevitably do something evil and smuggle the cultural relics of the Palace Museum in Taipei abroad. From this perspective, the so-called rumor-refuting statement of the Palace Museum in Taipei is just a cover-up of the bell.
Second, since the smuggling of cultural relics at the Palace Museum in Taipei has become the plan of Tsai Ing-wen and other "Taiwan independence forces", mainland China should also be prepared and carefully consider its opinions.
1. Establish a good ledger. Mainland China must know what cultural relics and collections are there in the Palace Museum in Taipei, and China can do this. The Palace Museum in Beijing and the Palace Museum in Taipei have long established a mechanism for exchange and cooperation on cultural relics, so mainland China knows exactly what cultural relics there are. Even if the Palace Museum in Taipei conceals something, just go to Beijing’s First Archives for inquiries. According to the Qing Dynasty’s Office of the Internal Affairs archives, various cultural relics are still vivid in their minds, and they cannot carry out actions of moving flowers and hiding the world or concealing the world. Therefore, the ledger must be established well, the catalog list must be clearly listed, and if you dare to lose one, you will ask the administrator of the Palace Museum in Taipei.
2. After making the ledger, mainland China should also strengthen monitoring of the entry and exit of the Palace Museum and cultural relics in Taipei. This kind of supervision can be carried out in a variety of ways. Technical means can be used, satellite and other technical means can closely monitor the entry and exit of cultural relics in the Palace Museum in Taipei, or mobilize public opinion supervision. To date, the Internet has provided very good technical conditions for the dynamic development of cultural relics in the Palace Museum in Taipei.
3. Mainland China must also be prepared for the worst. After all, Taiwan has not yet recovered it, so mainland China must take the most resolute actions to address the loss of cultural relics.If someone dares to smuggle the treasures of the Chinese nation abroad, forget their ancestors and be willing to rebel, mainland China must be wanted globally to make it the target of everyone's punishment. Only by showing determination and inspiring bloodliness, if someone dares to make the idea of cultural relics, it will definitely make it doomed.
