Zhu Lilun : Group task force investigates the preservation of cultural relics at the Palace Museum in Taipei
Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun criticized yesterday that this incident shocked Taiwanese society and was a scandal and serious mistake that had never happened. If someone had not reported it to the "legislator" Chen Yixin, when would the DPP authorities conceal it? For this "world-class joke", the "Executive Yuan" must be held accountable to the end. We immediately set up a special task force to investigate and announce the preservation of cultural relics from the Palace Museum in Taipei.
He questioned that the DPP damaged cultural relics after a few years of "ruling". The DPP no longer carried forward Chinese culture. Is it based on the ideology and is it unwilling to properly maintain and preserve the precious assets of Chinese culture? Zhu Lilun and the Kuomintang "legislator" Li Guimin Facebook has flooded many netizens, questioning the reasons for the damage and whether the cultural relics have been dropped? Li Guimin called on administrative and supervisory units to mobilize comprehensively and immediately thoroughly investigate the reasons for the damage, process and member background, responsibilities and moral integrity, and clarify how many similar situations there are? In response to the public's doubts about "the prince replaced by the raccoon cat", Wu Micha cannot be allowed to speak to himself.
Literary and historical writer Cai Dengshan called on Taipei Palace Museum to announce the surveillance screen from the warehouse to the workplace, "How to break it, the truth is naturally clear, and whether it is hidden is not something Wu Micha can explain." Writer Yang Du also called: "If you break it, you must see it. If you break it, you must find someone to verify it is the original thing and cannot be stolen and sold!"
Taipei Palace Museum responded that tomorrow, the investigation report and surveillance screenshots of the previous two cases will be provided with the "Legislative Yuan" for investigation reports and surveillance screenshots. Li Boyang, a cultural relic restorationist at the Taipei Palace Museum, said that it is not difficult to repair these damaged porcelains. The main difficulty lies in the precision of bonding and the coloring should be adjusted to exactly the same as the original color. He pointed out that from the damaged structure of the porcelain, it can be seen that it is caused by nature or man. It can also be seen that the force point is at the mouth of the bowl or the bottom of the bowl; good porcelain has a thin body wall and may "crack" due to vibration or impact.
Taipei Palace Museum said it will provide the investigation report of the "Legislative Yuan" and the screenshots of surveillance
Li Guimin criticized Wu Micha for destroying three collections in less than two years. His repeated mistakes prove that he has neither professionalism nor management ability nor carelessness. Refusing to apologize is not enough to make up for the harm. He is still shameless and shameless and keeping his post and receiving a high salary.
Convener of the Kuomintang think tank Chen Xuesheng said that after the establishment of the Taipei Palace Museum in 1925, a good system for preservation and restoration of cultural relics was formed, and as long as it was done step by step, it was impossible to damage the collection; but Wu Micha had three items during his tenure, because he did not respect professionalism and had problems with internal management. For example, Wu merged , the Library and Documents Department of Taipei Palace Museum, and Calligraphy and Painting Department into Calligraphy and Painting Documents Department, and the former Director of the Artifacts was promoted to vice president, and then transferred the former Director of the Book and Documents Department to the Director of the Artifacts. Both are cultural relics, but they are like crossing mountains. Wu is so disrespectful to professionalism, and it is difficult to ensure that the same problem will not occur again.
Chen Xuesheng: Lan Qianshan Pavilion renews its contract, and Wu will not be allowed to go alone.
For the Taipei Palace Museum no longer renews the contract for the "Lan Qianshan Pavilion" cultural relics, Chen Xuesheng said that the "Lan Qianshan Pavilion" cultural relics storage was signed by former president Qin Xiaoyi and Lin Boshou, the owner of the cultural relics. After 8 deans, it has not been abolished. Now it has been ruined by Wu Micha, which damages the integrity and reputation of the Taipei Palace Museum. Any cultural relics "Lan Qianshan Pavilion" are priced at a price of several hundred million NT$3 NT$4. The museum is undesirable, but Wu said he would not want them, which is more outrageous than the bank president saying he didn't want them. These precious cultural relics were given to Lin Boshou's descendants, so can we find a safer and more reliable storage point than the Taipei Palace Museum?
He pointed out that if the Taipei Palace Museum set up a South Court and cultural relics to overseas exhibitions, major policies such as the establishment of a South Court and cultural relics should be resolved by the Taipei Palace Museum Steering Committee, including the president of the Taipei Palace Museum, several heads of the "Ministry Association" and heavyweights in the art and literary circles, the "Lan Qianshan Pavilion" cultural relics storage should also be approved by the committee, and Wu will not be allowed to act independently.
