　　In response to

National Palace Museum Director response "to four misconceptions"

National Palace Museum collection was the Qing dynasty? Precious relics to Taiwan? …… 30th, National Palace Museum Director Shan jixiang, answers to these questions for the first time in an interview.

"Myth # 1" the National Palace Museum Qing dynasty

Shan jixiang: this is a misunderstanding on the concept, although the forbidden city Palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the collection is an important carrier of China's 5,000-year civilization. The times, from the new stone age, down to the song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties to modern; on the range that includes the essence of ancient Chinese civilization of the geographical, embracing the essence of Han ethnic minorities and many ancient art; on the category contains ancient Chinese artifacts all categories; on the country, and includes technical equipment, Western clocks and other foreign objects.

By the end of 2010, there are collections of the Palace Museum 1,807,558, 1,684,490 cultural relics.

"Myth # 2" precious relics to Taiwan

Shan jixiang,: 1933, first batch South moved of 2118 box heritage most does Department boutique, for antiquities collection various porcelain copper jade, library hid wenyuan Pavilion SI Ku Quan Shu book, brandish algae Hall SI Ku Quan Shu book collection to, wenyuan Pavilion, and Emperor very temple, and dry clear Palace by Save ancient books integrated and literature museum archives, and book treasure, and maps, and image, and instruments, and clothing,. But then as time is pressing, crates and more, cannot in fact do optional boutique heritage boxed. There are limited packaging and shipping conditions, big-ticket items are not removed.

Record, and moved to the Taiwan Museum opened a total of 2972 box, total boxes: 13491 boxes Heritage Museum moved south of the 22%.

"Myth # 3" visited the National Palace Museum no relics

Shan jixiang,: currently forbidden city open area for 52%, main including Qian three Temple, and Hou three Palace, and Mandarin Temple, and Wu British Temple, and yangxin Temple, and things six Palace and Imperial,, constitute has to in the axis mainly of forbidden city Palace building visited route, but by limited to visited conditions, Qian three Temple of Hall, and neutralized Temple, and baohe Palace and Hou three Palace of dry clear Palace, and AC Thai Temple, and Kun Ning Palace by displayed of various furniture furnishings and heritage, audience only can from distance wait-and-see, cannot near distance looked, Therefore creates impression is mainly look at ancient buildings of the Imperial Palace.

Another reason is, the forbidden city has 9 clocks and other permanent Museum and exhibition of Qing dynasty porcelain, thematic exhibitions, 10. This museum and exhibition more scattered and distances. Visit the axis building occupies most of the time you want, most people can choose only one or two visitors browse, cannot observe carefully, leaving small exhibitions the Museum of impression. The future, we will continue to open new showroom, significantly increasing the number of display artifacts.

"Myth # 4" the National Palace Museum lacks a "treasure of the town"

Shan jixiang: forbidden city collection size and variety, and formed a close-knit cultural system, for the appreciation and study which pieces cannot be isolated and stored. Imperial Palace stood one or two pieces of cultural relics. For Palace, and closely related system of cultural relics and ancient buildings of the forbidden city, are priceless treasures. If the audience too much attention to "celebrity relics", "treasure of the town", the other non-"star of cultural relics" go blind, you cannot fully and truly understand the diversity of Chinese traditional culture, easy to form a "can't see the trees" one-sided understanding.
