Therefore, in October of the 38th year of the Republic of China, that is, shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, two Republic of China planes snatched away thirty-eight boxes of precious cultural relics on the south bank of Chongqing, all of which were rare treasures.
After consultation, the Nationalist Government set up a Kuomintang cultural relics intermodal transport agency led by Hang Liwu as the leader of the relocation of national treasures, and secretly discussed many times how many cultural relics to be transported to Taiwan, and the standard for its rush to transport them was based on the principle of fine products, with the goal of first transporting away eight hundred boxes of the Palace Museum, and taking the eighty boxes of cultural relics that participated in the London Art Exhibition in england at that time, and the rest of the units each selected the most essential cultural relics and archives to take away.
According to Hang Liwu's own recollections and records, among the first batch of cultural relics transported away from Taiwan, the Palace Museum had 320 boxes, the Central Museum had 212 boxes, the Central Library had 60 boxes, the Academia Sinica had 120 boxes, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had 60 boxes, totaling more than 700 boxes. On January 3, 1938, Hang Liwu found a merchant ship to load it day and night for two days, and the second batch of cultural relics were all loaded on ships and shipped to Taiwan. Among the cultural relics in the second batch, the Palace Museum has 1,680 boxes, the Central Museum has 460 boxes, the Central Library has 462 boxes, the Beiping Library has 18 boxes, and the Academia Sinica has 856 boxes, a total of more than 3,500 boxes. On January 9, after consultation with the representatives of various units, the third batch of cultural relics began to be transported to Taiwan, of which the Palace Museum had 972 boxes, the Central Museum had 154 boxes, and the Central Library had 122 boxes, totaling more than 1,200 boxes.
In summary, the total number of cultural relics transported by the Kuomintang from the mainland to Taiwan is: 5,496 boxes. Moreover, these cultural relics are the most valuable and characteristic fine products since ancient times.

Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln Celadon lotus-style warm bowl
Total height 10.4 cm, diameter 16.2 cm, base diameter 8 cm, depth 7.6 cm
Although the only celadon lotus-style warm bowl passed down from generation to generation, although similar vessel shapes can be seen in other kilns of the same period, or even in Korean Goryeo celadon at the end of the twelfth century, the proportions are moderate, and the thickness and thinness change, still surpassing other porcelain kilns, enough to serve as a model of Song porcelain. The unique azure glaze of the Ru kiln has been regarded as the leader of celadon since the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and has become rare in the Southern Song Dynasty; by the late Ming Dynasty, it has evolved into the first name of the Song Dynasty after the five generations of wood kilns.
This bowl is a ten-petal lotus flower, the abdominal wall of the bowl is slightly curved, the straight mouth is slightly constricted, the petals at the mouth edge are smooth and continuous, and the circle foot is slightly higher. The thickness of the whole piece of utensils is uniform from the bottom to the mouth, the glaze is thin and opaque, the glaze color is blue, and there are fine open pieces. The whole vessel is full of glaze, and the inner sole of the circle foot is burned with five nail pads, the nail points are extremely thin, and the nail marks are grayish yellow.
