In 1931, the Japanese army invaded Shanhaiguan, and the situation in North China became urgent. The Palace Museum decided to relocate its collection of treasures to avoid the ravages of war. The artifacts were transported from Beijing through Shanghai and Nanjing to the interior regions of Sichuan and Guizhou, ultimately being stored in remote areas such as Leshan, Emei, and Anshun. After the end of the War of Resistance, they were gradually transported back to Nanjing, with some sent to Taiwan, some returning to the Palace in Beijing, and some remaining in Nanjing.
The relocation of artifacts took fifteen years, involving nearly 20,000 boxes and nearly a million items, covering tens of thousands of kilometers. They faced bombings by Japanese planes in Xuzhou and Zhengzhou and endured the tests of great fires in Emei, yet they managed to escape disaster, and none of the artifacts were lost or damaged. This is a miracle in the history of cultural relics preservation in China and even in cultural history, as well as a marvel in the history of Chinese civilization. The road of relocation was filled with dangers, paved by countless human and material resources, immense responsibility, and unparalleled courage, with the hardships and risks being unimaginable.
Due to the confidentiality of the relocation work, it has long carried a mysterious and legendary aura. Specific historical conditions determined the uniqueness of the event; the first generation of Palace Museum staff like Ning Zhiyuan, Fan Siceng, Fang Rushan, and Yu Rendao made arduous efforts for the safety of the artifacts, even sacrificing their lives. As people learn about this history and recognize this legend, while marveling at the brilliance of Chinese civilization, they are also moved by those who contributed to it.
Due to historical reasons, not all the relocated artifacts returned to the Palace Museum; some were sent to Taiwan just before the liberation. The existing treasures at the Taipei Palace Museum are the essence among the relocated artifacts. Due to the hurried transportation at that time, some artifacts that should have been kept together, or as pairs, now look across the sea at each other. A strait separates the same civilization, with the same language and culture, just as the land beneath the sea is always connected. We look forward to these treasures returning home, and we await the wandering children to come back to the embrace of their motherland.
