[Global Times Comprehensive Report] Taipei Palace Museum 28 reported on the 328th that three precious cultural relics were damaged, spanning the Ming and Qing dynasties. Some people revealed that the director of the Palace Museum in Taipei Wu Micha actually issued a ban on internal personnel, intending to hide the truth.
According to Taiwan's Zhongshi Electronic News 28, Kuomintang "legislator" Chen Yixin said at a forum that day that he received a report that the "girl yellow glaze green colored dragon pattern bowl" collected by the Palace Museum in Taipei has now been broken. This is a ceramic bowl with two dragons playing with beads on the outside, the gaps are decorated with cloud patterns, and there is no pattern on the inside. The bottom is blue and white "Made in the Hongzhi Year of the Ming Dynasty" six-character regular script style, plus double circles. Chen Yixin said that the "girl yellow glaze green colored dragon pattern bowl" is a very precious cultural relic and has never been exhibited to the public. However, in February last year, the Taipei Forbidden City moved it out of the warehouse but accidentally broke the bowl. After the incident, Wu Micha ordered that the bowl should not be handed over, and that the inspection report should not be conducted before repair. All relevant documents must be processed in the form of the highest secret to avoid leaving any evidence. Not only that, Chen Yixin also disclosed that the Taipei Forbidden City recently broke a piece of Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain that was more precious than a porcelain bowl. Wu Micha used the same trick again and used the same method to hide the evidence. Chen Yixin said that if this matter is true, it will be the first time in history that the Forbidden City in Taipei has broken the "national treasure" and Wu Micha's administrative and political responsibilities must be investigated. He asked, "Does the Tsai government also seal the broken cultural relics and facts for a hundred years?"
28, "The Power of the Times" Taipei City Council candidates Chen Zhiming and Liu Shijie further revealed that there were more than one cultural relics broken by the Forbidden City in Taipei. On February 3 last year, the "clear yellow glaze green colored dragon pattern bowl" was found to be damaged. On April 7 this year, the "Qing Kangxi dark dragon white li small yellow porcelain bowl" was found to be damaged. On May 19 this year, the "Qing Qianlong blue and white flower plate" was found to be damaged. They asked Wu Micha to apologize to the society and submit a review report.
In response to the above allegations, Wu Micha held an emergency press conference on the afternoon of the 28th, vigorously denied concealing the damage caused by cultural relics. He said that if the damaged "national treasure" and important cultural relics level are definitely reported according to existing procedures, but the three pieces of porcelain damaged this time are listed as "general cultural relics", and only one of them is human negligence, that is, the blue and white flower plate was accidentally dropped by the staff, but they were immediately reported to him according to the procedures. As for the "girl yellow glaze green colored dragon pattern bowl" and the "Qing Kangxi dark dragon white li little yellow porcelain bowl", they are all damaged after opening the packaging. They are currently under repair or waiting for repair. Only the blue and white flower plate must wait for the punishment procedure to be completed and the responsibilities will be clarified before the repair will be initiated. Wu Micha also said that there is no improper handling of the relevant investigation under the "confidential" procedure during the process, and there is no such issue as "to avoid leaving evidence".
As for the value of the three cultural relics damaged, it is said to be as high as 2.5 billion NT$ . Wu Micha said it was inconvenient to disclose the price, but "absolutely far below 2.5 billion yuan." However, he admitted that the value will definitely be reduced after the damage. He revealed that because the cultural relics in the Forbidden City in Taipei have no appraisal, the insurance amount will be very high, so there is no insurance for cultural relics. Only when the exhibition is loaned or moved to the South Courtyard for exhibition will it be added.
United News Network 28 said on the 19th that during the Ma Ying-jeou period, the Kuomintang had written to the Taipei Forbidden City to understand the inventory and investigation of cultural relics. The Taipei Forbidden City replied at that time that it had conducted three major inventorys after the cultural relics were moved to Taiwan, and there was no record of breaking cultural relics. Relevant people said that the procedures for inspecting cultural relics in Taipei City were quite rigorous. In addition to those related to the Forbidden City of Taipei City, external witnesses were also hired to witness them. The external witnesses in the latest inspection were Lin Baili, founder of Guangda Group .
An insider revealed that Wu Micha has vigorously promoted the digitalization of cultural relics in recent years, promoted the old subordinates, and failed to repair the shortcomings, which are all the reasons for the damage to cultural relics. He said that since Wu Micha took office in 2019, all newly hired personnel in the Forbidden City in Taipei have been his past subordinates or students, and "employment is above the major." In addition, the number of exhibitions in the North and South Institutes has increased, but the number of personnel in the Forbidden City in Taipei has not been filled, and the total number of personnel is only 2/3 of Wu's before taking office.In addition, Wu Micha vigorously promoted the digitalization of cultural relics, resulting in frequent entry and exit of the warehouse and moving them, which increased the damage rate of cultural relics.
News that precious cultural relics in the Forbidden City in Taipei were damaged and concealed, triggered the PTT forum on the 28th. Netizens said, "Is it because of the similar situation more than once? This is the most terrifying thing." Some people also said, "I feel that the dean is very familiar with the black box homework... According to this step, no one knows how many cultural relics were stolen and sold." Zhao Shaokang, chairman of "China Guangxi", said that this is a world-class joke and Wu Micha should pay his wealth and property. He said that in the past, in order to prevent the Japanese, the Forbidden City's national treasures were intact, but why was it broken in Taipei now?
"Who will protect our national treasure of the Forbidden City?" The well-known political commentator Huang Zhixian html wrote an article on the 328th that Wu Micha is a "classic Taiwan independence scholar". Tsai Ing-wen first made him the "director of the National History Museum " and then promoted him to serve as the director of the Taipei Palace Museum, who is very important to 1.4 billion Chinese. The DPP is unwilling to promote professional talents from the Taipei Forbidden City, so the rigorous work code established in the past few decades has been broken. Moreover, the "Taiwan independence" elements will not have Chinese national sentiments, but will only regard the Taipei Forbidden City as a resource and use it by any means. Previously, the authorities used "green jade cabbage" to assist the Democratic Progressive Party members, and used Yan Zhenqing " Commemoration for Nephew " to please former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe . What else would you dare not do? Besides, "the United States and Japan are extremely coveting these Chinese national treasures and are fully capable of getting along with them." The article says that the hundreds of thousands of national treasures in the Forbidden City belong to the Chinese and the treasures of world civilization. "What are the mistakes? Who can we Taiwanese people deserve? Heartbroken, quiet worries, and inexplicable indignation are not enough to describe my mood." (Zhang Ruo)
