Taipei Palace Museum Review

The National Palace Museum in Taipei is a cultural treasure trove, housing one of the world's most extensive collections of Chinese art and artifacts. Established in 1965, the museum's origins trace back to the Forbidden City in Beijing, with its collection relocated to Taiwan during the Chinese Civil War to safeguard it from conflict. Today, the museum boasts nearly 700,000 pieces, spanning over 8,000 years of Chinese history—from Neolithic times to the Qing dynasty .

Originally just to take pictures and punch a card, I didn't expect the cultural relics inside to be amazing, not losing the Forbidden City in Beijing, China, cultural and creative products are also dizzying, lingering. I returned full of, reluctant to give up. There is also a restaurant inside, the food is delicious and the service is very good, which is one of my favorite places in Taipei.

📝 **Real feelings: a cultural baptism** "Walking into the National Palace Museum in Taipei is like opening a three-dimensional history book. Each artifact is not a cold exhibit, but a life with a story. Standing in front of the Mao Gong Ding, it seems that you can hear the bell of the sacrifice; staring at the "Traveling in the Mountains and Rivers", it seems that you can feel the breeze in the mountains. There is no noise here, only the whispers of history, which makes people slow down and savor it carefully.

🍎Locals are half price. I went there countless times when I was a kid, and only went there once later. 🍎Mao Gong Ding, Jade Cabbage, Pork Stone, etc. Compared with museums in mainland China, the things here may not be very old, but they look more valuable. There are also many calligraphy and paintings. When I went there, it seemed that there were not many exhibitions. In short, they were all things that were easy to move during the war.

There is a saying: For architecture, go to the Forbidden City in Beijing, and for cultural relics, go to the National Palace Museum in Taipei. During the Anti-Japanese War, in order to save cultural relics from being destroyed, the National Government began to move many important cultural relics to the south. After all kinds of twists and turns, these cultural relics were finally transported to Taiwan. Therefore, the National Palace Museum in Taipei houses most of China's national treasures, including the famous Jade Cabbage and Mao Gong Ding.

The National Palace Museum in Taipei, also known as the Taipei Palace Museum and the Zhongshan Museum. It is the largest museum in Taiwan Province and one of the three largest museums in China. Among the treasures collected by the National Palace Museum in Taipei, there are oracle bone archives, ceramics, bronzes, ancient calligraphy and paintings, rare ancient books, Ming and Qing archives and documents, etc. Among them, ancient calligraphy and paintings are easy to transport, so the calligraphy and painting treasures shipped to Taiwan at that time were quite rich. However, calligraphy and painting treasures are actually difficult to preserve properly. By chance, it is said that before the museum was built, a large number of cultural relics were temporarily stored in mountain caves because there was nowhere to preserve them. The temperature and humidity in the caves are just the most suitable for preservation, so the calligraphy and painting treasures are still very well preserved. I personally like to visit calligraphy and painting exhibits very much. Huang Gongwang's "Fuchun Mountain Dwelling Picture" only exists in legends, but it is also a great blessing to be able to see Wang Xizhi's "Kuaixue Shiqing Tie".

The cabbage, one of the three treasures in the town hall, was on business trip to Taiwan. It only saw two treasures. However, because the collection was too rich and heavy, it was also a comfort. It also saw the celadon Narcissus pot of the Song Ru Kiln once again. The last time it was gathered at the Dongyang Ceramic Art Museum in Osaka City, there were only seven celadon Narcissus pots of the Ru Kiln in the world. However, Fuchun Mountain Gutu was not seen. According to the local guide, he had only seen it once in eleven years. The Fuchun Mountain Residence Map is divided into two parts, mostly in the Taipei Palace Museum and a small part in the mainland. Fortunately, I saw it in the Shanghai Museum last week. There are so many good things here that it deserves to be the most popular scenic spot. In addition, I must find a local guide who can explain them.
