Editorial: Chinese sons and daughters are qualified to question the National Palace Museum in Taipei

  The damage of three precious cultural relics in the National Palace Museum in Taipei could not be concealed, causing public outrage on both sides of the strait.

People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and even Chinese sons and daughters at home and abroad not only deplore the damaged cultural relics, but also doubt the attitude, ability and motivation of the current management of the National Palace Museum in Taipei to protect nearly 700,000 cultural relics.

  The latest damage to the three national treasures can be traced back to May of this year, but it was not until the incident was exposed by Taiwanese public opinion a few days ago that the Taipei Palace Museum twisted it and made a hasty explanation.

It's hard not to wonder, if public opinion hadn't been exposed, would this matter have been unknowingly concealed by the gods of the Imperial Palace in Taipei?

In places that have not been noticed by public opinion, have the national treasures in the National Palace Museum in Taipei encountered more "darkness under the lights"?

  There are various indications that it is no accident that such things have happened one after another in the past two years. The root behind it is that the DPP authorities' promotion of "de-Sinicization" in Taiwan has seriously affected the protection and management of cultural relics on the island. , which requires us to be highly vigilant and firmly opposed.

  As we all know, the collection of the National Palace Museum in Taipei is extraordinary. It is a cultural treasure belonging to the entire Chinese nation, and it is the testimony and inheritance of China's long history and splendid culture. With more special and richer historical culture and national significance, it has become a constant cultural blood and historical bond between the two sides of the Strait.

  However, the management of the National Palace Museum in Taipei today is more concerned with downplaying and avoiding these aspects than they have invested in the protection and management of cultural relics, which has led to the continuous occurrence of damage to precious cultural relics.

You must know that this batch of national treasures traveled more than half of China under the fire of the Japanese army, and the escorts traveled thousands of miles. The escorts never died. None of the national treasures was lost, and almost no damage was done.

This batch of national treasures has been moved to Taiwan for more than 70 years, and it has not been damaged after three major inventories. Why is it damaged today?

Although Wu Micha, director of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, has said that, the outside world has reason to doubt that the perverse actions of the DPP authorities of "de-Sinicization" are the fundamental cause of the damage to the national treasure.

  The DPP authorities chose Wu Mica to be the director of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, of course, not because of his professional level and strong sense of responsibility, but because of his "green" color.

Wu Micha understood this, and after taking office, he cooperated with the DPP authorities to "de-sinicize" many things.

All these political manipulations use the precious cultural relics of the National Palace Museum in Taipei as a political resource, which consumes and damages the professional ability and awe of the National Palace Museum in Taipei in the protection and management of cultural relics.

  The 1.4 billion Chinese and the wider global Chinese are qualified to question the Taipei Palace Museum and the DPP authorities for explanations and assurances.

If they are not able to protect them well, then these cultural treasures should be handed over to people with more professional ability and attitude to take care of them.

Previously, the DPP authorities were exposed to select 90,000 of the most expensive national treasures in the Forbidden City and transfer them to the United States and Japan. Although the DPP denied this, the Taipei Forbidden City, which was manipulated by it, consciously dwarfed and marginalized China. Culture is an indisputable fact.

  Before the DPP came to power, there were frequent cultural exchanges between the Forbidden City and the Forbidden City across the Taiwan Strait.

The National Palace Museum in Taipei is also a check-in place for mainland tourists to Taiwan. The highest record is that millions of mainlanders visit each year.

On June 1, 2011, under the joint promotion of people of insight from both sides of the strait, "Fuchun Mountain Residence", "Remaining Mountain Map" and "Useless Teacher Scroll", which had been separated for hundreds of years, were combined and exhibited in Taipei, becoming a cross-strait exhibition. A very symbolic scene of cultural exchange.

  When the DPP engaged in separatist acts, precious cultural relics became victims.

There has been a case of using "Cuiyu Cabbage" to help the election for one's own people. This time, the three precious cultural relics are damaged. If they are allowed to develop, there will be more serious consequences.

To fundamentally lift the crisis of national treasures, only the state of separation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can be ended.

Only when the motherland is reunified can national treasures be better protected, and cultural relics can better play their role in inheriting the blood of the Chinese nation's civilization.
