“The lower layer was moved and released to the point where it was in a pulverized state,” said Sun Ou, who restores the works of the art of inlaid in the forbidden city, the former imperial front in the heart of Beijing.
“More than 100 pieces of inserts had fallen and had to be reinforced again,” she told Reuters during a government -organized media tournament in the Department of Cultural Defense and Restoration of the Palace Museum in the banned city.
The work of the painting to restore the fancy treasures of the mass from the Chinese emperors in the past centuries has been accelerated in the last decade between President Xi Jinping to preserve China’s heritage and to design its cultural power on the global scene.
Restoration and cure efforts come as the Palace Museum marks its 100th anniversary and prepares to open a new branch of Beijing later this year in a better place that could happen or even the number of parts on the screen.
Of the approximately 2 million objects held by the paintings of the Palace Museum-from centuries old in ancient bronzeware and rare 10,000 pottery are currently displayed at one time.
A branch of the Museum in Hong Kong opened in 2022 showing about 900 pieces.
The Museum of the Palace was created in 1925 by the then government in power of the Republic of China, after the last Emperor of China, Pu Yi and his family were expelled.
In the following decades, the museum collection was threatened by theft, damage and even destruction during World War II, the Chinese Civil War and later the Cultural Revolution.
In the early 1930s, before Japanese forces were included in China, the Palace Museum authorities packaged many parts – including imperial fronts – and moved them from Beijing to other cities.
Then, in 1949, the Government of the Republic of China of Chiang Kai-Shek was defeated by Mao Zedong’s communist forces.
While Chiang and his nationalist party fled to Taiwan, they took with them thousands of relics that later came under the auspices of the Taiwan version of the palace museum.
Today, the Taipei National Museum of Palace holds more than 690,000 items, more than 80% of which are from the former court Qing, said the Taiwan Museum.
She said the articles belong to the Taiwan government.
