3,000 boxes of Forbidden City treasures were smuggled to Taiwan and placed in a small village, which was not cared for for 15 years

In 2013, a movie called "Tianji Fuchun Mountain Jutu" "turned out", although there are Zhiling sister and Tianwang Andy Lau's "double sword combination", but this movie once released encountered a "cold wave", box office reputation both met cold, can be called "bad film"! We don't care whether the movie is good or bad for the time being, but the plot is quite playful, and the "joint exhibition" of "Fuchun Mountain Jutu" is a hammer, which leads to a series of stories.

I wonder if you have grasped the point? Yes, the famous Painting of the Yuan Dynasty", "Fuchun Mountain Jutu", is still "divided into two", the first half of the "Leftover Mountain Map" is now in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, and the second half of the "Useless Teacher Volume" is now collected in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.

According to the "History of Chinese Art", this painting is an ink painting on paper created by the Yuan Dynasty painter Huang Gongwang in 1350, known as the "Orchid Pavilion in Painting", which is one of the top ten famous paintings in China!

How come half of such a precious painting went to Taiwan? This has to start with Chiang Kai-shek's crazy "luck of treasure"!

On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and the fifteen-year-long War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression ended in the victory of the Chinese nation!

After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the issue of nation-building was followed; our party was well aware of the great righteousness, conformed to the aspirations of the people of the whole country for peaceful nation-building, and was willing to make certain concessions in exchange for peaceful coexistence with the Nationalist Government.

Our Party is full of sincerity, but Chiang Kai-shek is a set of face to face and a set behind his back, negotiating with our Party on the one hand, but on the other hand, he began to launch a civil war, at the end of June 1946, Chiang Kai-shek attacked the Liberated Areas in an all-round way, and the civil war broke out in an all-round way!

The Nationalist government was unpopular with the people, and its defeat was becoming increasingly evident under the heroic counterattack of the People's Liberation Army and the masses of the people, and by 1948, Chiang Kai-shek had anticipated his own fate and began to lay out Taiwan as a future retreat.

Therefore, starting in 1948, Chiang Kai-shek sent a large number of materials to Taiwan, including three thousand boxes of cultural relics from the Palace Museum!

Why chiang kai-shek was able to succeed so easily

The reason why Chiang Kai-shek was able to transport the cultural relics of the Forbidden City so easily was that at that time these cultural relics were stored in Nanjing, the Palace Museum was born in 1925, "after the 918 Incident", the National Government decided to send the cultural relics to Nanjing for preservation in order to avoid the damage of these precious cultural relics, in 1933, these cultural relics first "arrived" in Shanghai, and then were preserved in Nanjing!

Nanjing was the "stronghold" of the Nationalist government, which had been firmly controlled by Chiang Kai-shek until the "Battle of the Crossing River" in April 1949, so he was able to easily transport it away in 1948!

Under the auspices of Hang Liwu, 3,000 boxes of cultural relics were divided into three batches, which began to be transported from the end of 1948 to february 1949, when the last batch of cultural relics arrived in Taiwan.

So what is the "fate" of these 3,000 boxes of cultural relics in Taiwan?

According to the Taichung Times, after Hang Liwu sent 3,000 boxes of cultural relics to Taiwan, he first temporarily stored them in the warehouse of a sugar factory in Taichung, waiting for Chiang Kai-shek's further arrangements.

However, at that time, Chiang Kai-shek was terrified, coupled with the unstable situation in Taiwan, he was busy stabilizing people's minds, and if he had the energy to take care of those cultural relics, he handed them over to Hang Liwu to handle with full authority.

As we all know, the preservation of cultural relics requires an extremely harsh environment, temperature and humidity and other conditions have strict regulations, half a point is not sloppy, the warehouse of the sugar factory is not suitable for storing cultural relics, Chiang Kai-shek has no time to take care of, Hang Liwu searched for Taiwan Island, and finally found a highland that was barely suitable for storing cultural relics outside the village of Beigou Village in Wufeng Township, located in the Taichung Plain, Hang Liwu immediately decided to build a warehouse in this highland, after the warehouse was built, 3,000 boxes of cultural relics were all transported to this place, and since then this batch of cultural relics has "settled down" in Beigou Village. 。

According to Hang Liwu's plan, originally this batch of cultural relics was temporarily "settled" in Beigou Village, waiting for Chiang Kai-shek to free his hands to relocate, but he did not expect that this wait would be fifteen years, during which the Taiwan authorities completely forgot that there was another batch of precious cultural relics stored in a small mountain village, until the 1960s, when Taiwan's political situation was stable and Chiang Kai-shek "had nothing to do", he finally remembered that there was another batch of treasures.

He immediately sent people to inspect, thanks to Hang Liwu's original meticulous arrangement, these cultural relics are still well preserved, but have begun to appear hidden dangers, so Chiang Kai-shek made a big stroke of money and allocated funds to build the National Palace Museum in Taipei.

On November 12, 1965, the Palace Museum, which lasted for one year and nine months, was completed, and 3,000 boxes of cultural relics were transferred from Beigou Village to the museum.

What did Chiang Kai-shek take away with him?

As the head of the National Government, Chiang Kai-shek naturally has his eyes higher than the top, and the cultural relics that can be favored by him are naturally extraordinary, and a few of them are famous at will: Yan Zhenqing's "Manuscript on Sacrifice to the Nephew", Mao Gongding in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Sanshi Pan in the Western Zhou Dynasty, "Azure Without Stripes and Daffodil Basins" in the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Shi's "Huangzhou Cold Food Post", Zhao Gan's "Map of the First Snow of the River Trip" of the Fifth Dynasty, plus the aforementioned "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", and so on.

Any one of them can be called a national treasure, but now these precious cultural relics belonging to the people of the whole country are displayed in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, and we did not even have the opportunity to see them before the "three links" between the two sides of the strait!

It is worth mentioning that Chiang Kai-shek was not only transported to Taiwan for these precious cultural relics, but also a large amount of gold!

3,000 boxes of Forbidden City treasures were smuggled to Taiwan and placed in a small village, which was not cared for for 15 years

As the saying goes, "prosperous gold, chaotic antiques", Chiang Kai-shek is well versed in the way, from 1948, Chiang Kai-shek divided the gold in the mainland treasury into five batches and sent it to Taiwan, according to incomplete statistics, the gold nuggets transported to Taiwan by Chiang Kai-shek are 2.27 million taels, which is about 250 billion yuan at the current value!

Compared with cultural relics, Chiang Kai-shek obviously valued this batch of gold more, and specially assigned his most trusted eldest son, Chiang Ching-kuo, to be responsible for transporting it, and Chiang Ching-kuo also lived up to expectations.

It took a year to transport more than two million taels of gold to Taiwan, and it is precisely because of this batch of gold "foundation" that Taiwan was able to develop rapidly in the late 1970s and early 1980s, becoming the first of the "Four Asian Tigers"!

brief summary:

Chiang Kai-shek's intention to take away gold and cultural relics is obvious, that is, to one day be able to "counterattack the mainland" on this basis, but with the passage of time, Chiang Kai-shek's "bold words" have long become unrealistic "whispers", but it is a pity that those precious cultural relics are still across the sea from us!

We firmly believe that under the leadership of our party and the joint efforts of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, these cultural relics will eventually "see the light of day"!
