Shenyang National Palace Museum displays 99 pieces of Taiwanese folk collections. The "Cross-Strait Ancient Cultural Relics Research and Development Association Collection Special Exhibition" co-organized by the Shenyang National Palace Museum and the Taiwan Cross-Strait Ancient Cultural Relics Research and Development Association has recently begun to be held in the Shenyang National Palace Museum. This is the second large-scale exhibition of treasures collected by private collectors in the Shenyang National Palace Museum. According to reports, the "Special Exhibition of the Cross-Strait Ancient Cultural Relics Research and Development Association Collection" will be on display at the Feilong Pavilion and Xiangfeng Pavilion of the Forbidden City in Shenyang from June 2 to July 15, 2011. The 99 art treasures are selected from the collections of eight well-known Taiwanese private collectors, including Ouyang Jianzhong, Chen Guanwei, and Lu Xiugui. The exhibits are mainly porcelain, as well as some precious seals, jades, and snuff bottles. Most of the porcelains on display are made with shapes and glazing methods from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. They have unique shapes, delicate patterns and are natural, making them highly valuable for collection. The red decorated porcelain jar placed in the center of the Shenyang Forbidden City exhibition hall attracted the attention of many visitors. This vessel is called "Glaze Red Guiguzi Down Mountain Jar with Lid". It is decorated with copper red material and has a petiole-shaped button on the top of the lid. On the vessel, Guiguzi rides on a two-wheeled cart pulled by a tiger and leopard. It is decorated with curly grass, lotus petals, peonies and other patterns. Its full picture and clear lines form a beautiful picture of characters. One of the organizers, Ouyang Jianzhong, chairman of the Cross-Strait Ancient Cultural Relics Research and Development Association, said he hopes that this exhibition can promote exchanges between the cultural and museum circles on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and allow mainland compatriots to further understand the strength of Taiwanese private collectors. The Cross-Strait Ancient Cultural Relics Research and Development Association is a non-governmental organization in Taiwan that has long been committed to cross-Strait cultural exchanges. It is keen on the inheritance of the excellent culture of the Chinese nation and has collected a large number of exquisite works of art.
