The preparations to resist Japanese aggression were not just a military issue. In particular, it is worth mentioning that the cultural relics of the Forbidden City, which gather the essence of Chinese culture, must be escorted to the south at this time to avoid the flames of war.

The cultural relics of the Forbidden City were in Beiping at that time. The Japanese army spread from Rehe to North China, and the danger of destruction and separation of cultural relics increased. Therefore, the Nationalist Government made early preparations and decided to move south and evacuate, quietly moving out of the Forbidden City on the night of February 6 and transporting it to the warehouse of the Chaotiangong cave in Nanjing.

In two months, 10,000 wooden boxes were transported, and this emergency measure was actually very clever. Later, the flames of the Sino-Japanese War spread to the whole country, and the wooden boxes were directly scattered to safe areas such as Leshan and Emei in Sichuan Province to prevent damage.

After the end of the Sino-Japanese War, he temporarily returned to Nanjing, and soon after the deterioration of the war situation with the communist army, he was transported to Taiwan at the end of 1948. From this point of view, the Forbidden City in the mainland is not "there is a Forbidden City, but no cultural relics", as the outside world says, but the Forbidden City has covered the cultural relics, and the cultural relics have not been well managed and exhibited.

These are all old things, no one can tell if there is anything wrong, the three of them turned around, Wu Tianyuan focused on the bronze chimes on display, and deliberately left a word, waiting for the opportunity to have a joint exhibition in the future.

"No problem, the level of the Tianyuan Museum is not worse than ours, we will cooperate more in the future!"

Director Hu can't ask for it, now Wu Tianyuan is a big name in the circle, relying on his own strength to exchange national treasures from major museums, which is admired in my heart!

Since he took office, he has contacted major museums a lot, hoping to exchange some of them back, but no one is interested. The main reason is that if you exchange Chinese collections for Chinese collections, unless you are willing to take out national treasures, others will definitely not be interested.

But there are no foreign treasures, who is like Wu Tianyuan, treasure hunting is as simple as eating and drinking?

Therefore, for rare animals like Wu Tianyuan, all museums hope to maintain a good cooperative relationship, and maybe one day they will ask for others!

Originally, Director Hu was afraid that Wu Tianyuan would have any prejudice against the National Palace in Taipei? specially found Lin Baili and Huang Xuanlong as intermediaries, but they were treated equally. The treatment is much better than that of foreign countries, and now he still takes the initiative to visit here, and there will be joint exhibitions in the future, which reassures him.

"Our collection here includes the essence of the Qing Dynasty Forbidden City in Beijing, the Shenyang Forbidden City and the former Rehe Palace, as well as cultural relics donated by people from all walks of life at home and abroad. The museum often maintains about 5,000 pieces of calligraphy and painting cultural relics on display, and holds various special exhibitions regularly or irregularly, and the exhibits in the museum are changed every three months. ”

Director Hu took Wu Tianyuan to the treasury and shared his experience: "When the relocation was made, the scholars thought that the gold and stone were the most important, and the tripod was the symbol of the country, so they took a lot, a total of 2,382 bronzes; The literati also attached great importance to calligraphy and painting, and calligraphy and painting themselves were also easy to carry, and they took as much as they could, taking a total of 5,424 pieces. ”

Wu Tianyuan looked at the 943 Song paintings excitedly, and quickly absorbed the energy, this time he was stunned!

"The Song and Yuan Dynasty landscape painting series can constitute the best special exhibition of the National Palace Museum in Taiwan, and there is a Chinese gentleman who admires jade, and jade is also taken away. Only a part of the ceramics was taken, almost 17,934 pieces, but it concentrated the fine products of the porcelain showrooms and worship rooms of the Palace Museum in the mainland, which can be described as a famous kiln. ”

The famous Sanxi Hall Post, the National Palace Museum in the mainland has the "two Xi" in the "Three Xi", and Taipei has the "Yixi" in it. Guo Xi's "Early Spring" is now in Taipei, but not in the mainland. They have "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", and the only Qing Dynasty copy in Taipei has also been exchanged for you. The dragon robe, only the Qing Dynasty left in the Chinese dynasties, the scholars at that time thought that the Qing Dynasty was not worth much, did not take it, so the National Palace Museum in Taipei did not have a dragon robe. ”

It took Wu Tianyuan an hour to absorb all the energy, and the whole person was refreshed and fluttering, his ears were getting more and more swollen, and he was about to reach the critical point of upgrading.

"This is jade cabbage!"

Wu Tianyuan finally saw Cixi's jade cabbage, and he was really ingenious, and he was very impressed.

"Jade cabbage has always been the super popular star of our museum, ranking first in the list of national treasures, and it is as "open all year round" as the flesh-shaped stone! I didn't dare to change the exhibits at will, and even if there were big museums abroad that wanted to borrow the exhibits, I could only refuse. As soon as many tourists inside and outside the island enter the Forbidden City, they first ask where the jade cabbage is placed? You must have seen the jade cabbage to feel that it is worth the trip. ”

Director Hu said helplessly: "It was originally a furnishing vessel of Yonghe Palace in the Qing Dynasty, and it is said to be one of the dowries of Guangxu's concubine Jinfei." Cabbage means innocence and purity, and two mantis symbolizing prolific are carved on the emerald green leaves, praying for more children and grandchildren. The jade carver uses the natural color distribution of jade to grind out a fresh cabbage. ”

"This is Mao Gongding and Sanshi Pan!"

"Yes, Mao Gong is famous, but few people know about San's Pan. It is also known as Yaren Plate, which is a heavy weapon in the period of the King of the Western Zhou Dynasty. In the early years of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Shaanxi Fengxiang was unearthed and once hidden in Qianlong's inner house. It is known for its long inscriptions. The inscription of the Sanshi plate is cast on the bottom of the plate, with a total of 375 characters. It is a work with a very prominent style. The original collection of the Qing Inner Mansion, and Mao Gongding, Da Yu Ding, Yu Ji Zipan and called the four national treasures, the original rubbing is extremely rare, and domestic scholars strive for it and are extremely rare. ”

"The manuscript of the nephew, the line of grass ink, Yan Zhenqing's book. This post was originally a draft of a memorial written by Yan Zhenqing for his nephew, Ji Ming, who was killed by the rebel An Lushan. This work was not originally written as a calligraphy work, because the mood is extremely sad and angry, the mood has been difficult to calm down, the mistakes have increased, and there are smears from time to time, but because of this, this piece of writing is dignified and astringent and vigorous, the gesture is round and majestic, the posture is horizontal, purely written by God, and it is natural and wonderful. ”

"Su Shi, Huangzhou cold food post, there are inscriptions on the famous family and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Because of the praise and praise of all families, the world then called "Cold Food Post" and Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Yan Zhenqing's "Manuscript of the Sacrifice of Nephews" in the Tang Dynasty as "the three major books in the world", or simply called "Cold Food Post" as "the third book in the world". ”

This post was first collected among the people, and then included in the inner government by the Qing court. In modern times, the fate of "Cold Food Post" is unlucky. In the tenth year of Qing Xianfeng, the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace, and the "Cold Food Post" was almost burned down, and then lost overseas. As soon as the end of World War II, Foreign Minister Wang Shijie privately instructed a friend to visit Japan to look for a cold food post, and when he learned of his whereabouts, he bought it back with a large amount of money, and inscribed it on the back of the post, briefly describing the general process of his loss to Japan and his return to China from Japan. ”

"Five generations of Zhao Gan, the first snow of the river, the whole volume describes the scene of the first snow in the fishing villages along the Yangtze River. The title on the front of the picture, "The first snow in the river, Zhao Gan, a student of the painting academy", should be the handwriting of Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty. There are Song Xuanhe, Jin Mingchang, Yuan Tianli, Qing Qianlong, Jiaqing Zhuyin, as well as Ke Jiusi, Wu Rui, Liang Qingbiao, Anqi Zhuyin collection seals. ”

"Northern Song Dynasty Fan Zhongli Xishan Travel Map, it has always been known as Fan Kuan's masterpiece, and there is an inscription of "Fan Kuan" between the leaves. Xu Beihong once spoke highly of this painting: "Of all the treasures in China, the Forbidden City has two of them." The most poured person in my institute is Fan Zhongli's "Journey to the Mountains and Streams", which is majestic, Shen Xiong and ancient, and sincerely works of 10,000 people! ”

Due to the rare and precious hand-me-down, there are currently less than 90 pieces in the world, and there are 21 pieces in the collection of the National Palace Museum in Taipei. ”
