Taipei Palace Museum Three porcelain cultural relics were damaged. While the storm continued to attract attention, the "Lan Qianshan Pavilion" of the Palace Museum in Taipei will no longer renew the contract, which has once again caused controversy from the outside world.
The Paper learned that the Taipei Palace Museum sent the preliminary investigation report of two of the cultural relics to the Legislative Yuan on October 31, saying that the reasons for the rupture include the possibility that the cultural relics would collide due to human pressure or space reduction when closing the iron box, or there were hidden injuries or cracks that were invisible to the naked eye before.
The contract for the "Lan Qianshan Pavilion" to store cultural relics will not be renewed. The official website of the Taipei Palace Museum responded to this, "The storage space is limited, and it is narrow to keep your own cultural relics. It is actually not suitable to provide private free storage for many years." In this regard, the outside world questioned whether there was any management problem in the Taipei Palace Museum? Duan Xinyi, a person from the education industry in Taiwan, said bluntly: "Please tell the public why cultural relics that have been stored for 55 years, but there is no space now?"
Three cultural relics in Taipei Palace Museum were damaged
Taipei Palace Museum's preliminary investigation report on the damage of two of the cultural relics on October 31 pointed out that " Ming Dynasty Hongzhi Hongzhi's Hongzhi Little Yellow Green Colored Double Dragon Small Bowl" was on the morning of February 3, 2021. Six people including the porcelain department researchers, administrative personnel, research assistants and technicians entered the cave porcelain warehouse for routine sorting, and found that the porcelain number 16896 in the 1873 box of the hospital was broken.
report stated that the time of the porcelain breaking was initially judged after a large-scale inventory on March 2, 2012, and before the discovery on February 3, 2021; according to the staff of the Utensils Department, those who can contact and organize cultural relics are limited to research and administrative personnel, so these people may cause damage to cultural relics, but research assistants and technicians will assist in the handling of iron boxes, and the transportation process may also cause cultural relics to shake or even damage. In addition, when closing the iron box, the cultural relics may be damaged due to human pressure or space reduction, and if there is hidden injuries that cannot be seen by the naked eye, it may also break due to time or collision.
. For the "Lan Qianshan Pavilion" no longer renews the contract for cultural relics storage, the official website of the Taipei Palace Museum responded to this, "The warehouse space is limited, and it is narrow to store its own cultural relics. It is not suitable to provide private free storage for many years. It consumes the resources of the Forbidden City for storage and maintenance, and excludes all resources of its own cultural relics." It also stated that after the contract for cultural relics storage expired, the Taipei Palace Museum has notified several depositors to retrieve the cultural relics. "Lan Qianshan Pavilion" is not an exception.
It is understood that the so-called "reservation" means that folk collectors authorize cultural relics to be kept and exhibited at the Taipei Palace Museum for free, but the name of the depositor must be marked. This is a glory for collectors. It not only encourages the public to share collections, but also provides the most complete and professional preservation of cultural relics, and provides audiences with diverse visiting content.

Pengpai News learned that the "Lanqianshan Pavilion" that the Taipei Palace Museum will no longer renew the contract will be stored in the cultural relics. "Tang Chu Suiliang Yellow silk Lanqianting" and "Tang Huaisu Little Grass Thousand Characters Text" are being exhibited in the annual exhibition "Writing All the Prosperity - Late Ming Cultural Personnel Wang Shizhen and His Aspirations" launched by Taipei Palace Museum. Due to the storage of the "Lan Qianshan Pavilion", these two cultural relics were also visited Tokyo, Japan with Yan Zhenqing's " Memorial to Nephew " and were of great importance. However, it was reported that the Taipei Palace Museum and the "Lan Qianshan Pavilion" cultural relics will no longer be renewed, which also means that the important cultural relics will leave the Forbidden City and the people will not see each other again.
Duan Xinyi pointed out that Mr. Lin Boshou, the owner of the "Lan Qianshan Pavilion", was elected as the Standing Committee of the Management Committee of the Zhongshan Museum, the formerly of the Palace Museum of Taipei, in 1969. His private collection includes 219 calligraphy and paintings and 109 square meters of ancient inkstones stored in Zhongshan Museum . Among these cultural relics, "Tang Chu Suiliang's Yellow Silk Lanting" and "Tang Huaisu's Thousand Characters of Grass Grass". Text is particularly rare, and the market value of these two pieces is far greater than the three porcelain relics that have been damaged recently; in addition, "Huayi Sketch Book" is also a very precious picture album, which has epoch-making "realistic" of Chinese painting to "one picture and one realm". Duan Xinyi asked: "These are all supporting the face of the Forbidden City, and there are also those who have gone to Japan to borrow scripture exhibitions, so why not keep it?"

According to Taiwan media reports, senior employees of the Taipei Palace Museum signed and requested the president to renew the contract "Lan Qianshan Museum" to leave the cultural relics in the Forbidden City. It is incomprehensible to not renew the contract on the grounds that "the warehouse space is limited". The statement of the Taipei Palace Museum pointed out that "whether the contract is renewed or not is discussed by the Forbidden City and the depositors." I hope the outside world "respected the wishes and privacy of the owners of the depositary batch of cultural relics." In response, insiders of the Taipei Palace Museum also said that in fact, the failure to renew the contract was unilaterally proposed by the Taipei Palace Museum. Duan Xinyi pointed out that the descendants of the Lin family increased their storage of cultural relics in 2002, which shows that the Lin family did not want to take the initiative to retrieve the cultural relics. "The Forbidden City called the Forbidden City to take back the things, saying that your things occupied my place, can you not take them back?"
Duan Xinyi also pointed out that Lin Boshou, with his exquisite collection and enthusiasm, once said that the cultural relics of the "Lan Qianshan Pavilion" should be kept in Taiwan forever. "The storage mood is touching. The Taipei Palace Museum also signed a storage method for this case, and it was reviewed and confirmed by experts. They are all very precious cultural relics. Even if the storage method during the term of President Lin Zhengyi was abolished, several presidents still continued to sign the contract." Duan Xinyi asked: "Now, even if professional colleagues sign, can the president arbitrarily decide not to renew the contract?" In the past, there was a management committee above the president, but now the colleagues in the hospital are worried.

Duan Xinyi pointed out that from the damage to cultural relics and the failure to renew the contract with the "Lan Qianshan Pavilion", we have to question the biggest problem in the management of the Palace Museum in Taipei today is disrespect for majors, including changing the original three parts of artifacts, calligraphy, painting, and literature into two parts, and then the director of the Calligraphy and Painting Documents Department was also in charge of the artifacts. It was originally a department of various departments in different fields, and the labor force was reduced, and the South Institute frequently moved cultural relics. It could be said that there were unreasonable requirements for employees in management.
Liu Fangru, director of the Calligraphy and Painting Documents Department of the Taipei Palace Museum, posted on a social platform, saying, "In the end, Mr. Lin Jicheng (referring to Lin Boshou), the owner of Lan Qianshan Museum, was so regrettable!" and said, "To be fair, if Lan Qian's cultural relics can continue to remain in the museum, they will not only have a better preservation environment, but also can definitely play a more diverse art education function."
