[Reporter Ling Meixue/Taipei Report] Banqiao Lin Benyuan's family Lin Boshou and his descendants deposited the cultural relics of the "Lanqianshan Pavilion" in the Forbidden City. Due to the expiration of the storage contract, they are currently in accordance with the "National Palace Museum's Collection Collection Measures" No. 14-19 It is understood that the Forbidden City does not intend to renew the contract. It has not yet been finalized, and the Lin family, the owner of the cultural relics, has not publicly stated its position.

Chen Xuesheng, the convener of the cultural and educational group of the Kuomintang think tank, pointed out today (28th) that in order to prevent the cultural relics of the "Lanqianshan Pavilion" from being lost overseas, he has launched a joint action to "rescue the cultural relics of the Lanqianshan Pavilion and keep the national treasures in Taiwan". The contract also requires the Ministry of Culture to designate Tang Chu Suiliang's "Yellow Silk Version of the Lanting Scroll" and Tang Huaisu's "Xiaocao Thousand-Character Essay" among the Languan cultural relics as national treasures in accordance with the "Cultural Resources Law".

However, according to the provisions on the designation of cultural relics in the "Cultural Assets Preservation Law Enforcement Rules", Article 30 states in detail that "the review and designation of private cultural relics as stipulated in Article 67 of this Law may be made by the owner to the municipality directly under the Central Government where the domicile is located, The county (city) competent authority applies." That is to say, under the current situation that cultural relics are only "deposited" in the Forbidden City, they must be reported by the "Lin Family", and the Forbidden City actually has no right to intervene; and the Ministry of Culture can't take the initiative to review and designate.

Rumor has it that the Lin family did not request a "rescue" joint signature for the renewal of the deposit of cultural relics in the Languan Museum. Regarding this, the Forbidden City stated tonight that it has not processed the extension of the storage contract for the cultural relics of the "Lanqianshan Pavilion". , ask the depositor to retrieve it, and have given a buffer period for the retrieval operation at the request of the depositor.

As for whether to negotiate a new storage contract with the owner, neither party has discussed it yet.

It is understood that the Forbidden City prefers to renegotiate a new contract on the premise that the owner is willing, rather than continuing the old contract of free deposit; and the Lin family does not seem to take the initiative to ask for joint signatures.
