The Lin Boshou family in Banqiao deposits the cultural relics of the "Lanqianshan Pavilion" in the Forbidden City. Because the Forbidden City notifies the owner that the contract has expired, during the buffer period of half a year, if the Lin family decides not to renegotiate the contract or make a clear wish, after the half-year expires, the Lin family must Retrieve the artifacts.
In this regard, the Kuomintang group accused the Forbidden City of rudely "returning" cultural relics, and strongly demanded that the Ministry of Culture must designate some important cultural relics of "Lanqian" as national treasures, and demanded that the Forbidden City follow the old practice to take the initiative to renew the contract.
Despite the Forbidden City's clarifications many times, the two sides have never been in focus, and the key descendants of the Lin family have never made an appearance or spoke out by name, causing related disputes to this day.
Su Shuobin believes that the "depository system" that does not deal with ownership is very peculiar.

However, the Education and Culture Committee of the Legislative Yuan, convened by KMT legislator Zheng Zhengqian, held a public hearing yesterday (19th). Most of the co-signers of the former legislator Chen Xuesheng led the action to save Lanqian cultural relics left in Taiwan participated in the speech, and a few scholars proposed I disagree, but when Zheng Zhengqian made his conclusion at the end, the conclusion seemed to be that he did not summarize all the speeches, but that the director of the Forbidden City once said that "the Lin family did not plan to take it back." I also hope that the Ministry of Culture will work hard to implement the conclusions such as allowing Lanqian cultural relics to obtain the status of cultural assets, which is equivalent to the designation of cultural assets status proposed by officials of the Ministry of Culture at the public hearing, the explanation of the need to change the deposit system by the director of the National Palace Museum, and scholars in the public hearing. Related remarks such as "Taiwan's depository system that does not deal with ownership is very unique" and other relevant statements raised at the scene were completely ignored, which was quite surprising.

[Chen Xuesheng: The balance of terror in the Lin family is to maintain the status quo]
Chen Xuesheng's speech was probably the same as when he first launched the "Save Lanqianshan Museum Cultural Relics, National Treasures in Taiwan" joint signature. He questioned that the previous directors of the Forbidden City had followed the Old Testament. Why did they change when Wu Micha became the director?
Moreover, Lanqian cultural relics only occupy 4 cabinets in the collection library, which does not take up much space.
However, because the cultural relics of the "Lanqianshan Pavilion" are still private property, the wishes of the owners must still be respected.
Therefore, has the rescue joint signature initiated by Chen Xuesheng been authorized or entrusted by the descendants of the Lin family?
The reporter asked Chen Xuesheng after the public hearing, and Chen Xuesheng admitted that he had heard "indirectly" from beginning to end that the Lin family's "return" notice "caused great trouble to their family". As for through whom?
Which descendant of the Lin family would you like to say?
Chen Xuesheng said that it is inconvenient to disclose.
The reporter further asked, it is rumored that the descendants of the Lin family have at least several different opinions, if the depositors reach a consensus in the future to retrieve the cultural relics, what will you do?
Condemn the Lin family?
Chen Xuesheng replied: "After the Lin family has reached a terrifying balance among themselves, they will maintain the status quo."
[Su Shuobin: The depository system that does not deal with ownership is very special]
Regarding the issue of contract renewal for the Lanqianshan Museum, Su Shuobin, the curator of the front desk and a professor at the Institute of Taiwanese Literature at National Taiwan University, pointed out that the "reservation system" of the Forbidden City is reasonable?
is another topic that needs to be discussed.
There is no corresponding concept of "deposit" in the world, and there is no consistent "deposit" practice. In other words, Taiwan's "deposit system" that does not deal with ownership is very unique.
Su Shuobin cited the Metropolitan Museum of America as an example. There are only two types of collections outside the museum. One is a donation or bequest whose ownership is transferred to the museum, and the other is a loan that does not transfer ownership.
Japan also has different policies depending on individual museums. Some of them are only donated (transfer of ownership upon expiration of the agreement), while others are entrusted (agreed to be returned to the original owner after use), but they must be clearly stipulated in the contract.
It may be necessary to review the current contract of the Lanqianshan Museum in the Palace Museum or the parent law "Measures for the Collection of Collections of the National Palace Museum".
