Jadeite Cabbage exhibited in Czechia in historic first
2025-09-12
Taiwan’s National Palace Museum is marking its 100th anniversary with a historic overseas exhibition, bringing iconic artifacts like the Jadeite Cabbage to Europe for the first time. But while the showcase is expected to draw crowds in Czechia, it’s also drawing fire from Beijing, which accuses Taiwan of politicizing Chinese culture.
In a historic move to celebrate its 100th anniversary, the National Palace Museum is holding an exhibition overseas. Its first stop was Czechia’s National Museum, marking the first time that the ever-popular Jadeite Cabbage is shown in Europe.
Michal Lukeš
National Museum Director
It’s the first time that we are displaying the Jadeite Cabbage. I’m sure it will attract a lot of attention, just like the Mona Lisa.
Among the 131 collection items on display are the painting “Along the River During the Qingming Festival,” and curio cabinets that belonged to the emperor. But the exhibition of the treasures has drawn a strong reaction from China.
Chen Binhua
Taiwan Affairs Office
The DPP authorities, while aggressively pushing forward cultural Taiwan independence and pursuing desinicization, are at the same time shamelessly exploiting the treasures of Chinese civilization in a blatant attempt to advance their separatist agenda.
Liang Wen-chieh
Mainland Affairs Council
We weren’t the ones who did the Cultural Revolution, it was the Chinese Communist Party. They were the ones who were calling for the destruction of the “Four Olds:” old ideas, culture, customs and habits. It’s clear that the ones that tried to destroy Chinese culture were the CCP, not us.
The Director of the National Palace Museum, Hsiao Tsung-huang, also pushed back against China’s comments.
Hsiao Tsung-huang
National Palace Museum Director
The exhibition showcases our collections and highlights the essence of Chinese culture. There’s no desinicization happening, no disrespect to the artifacts. It’s purely a cultural exchange.
Johnny Chiang
Legislative Yuan Deputy Speaker
This is an important exhibition of Chinese culture in Czechia. We hope that the Beijing authorities can face the reality that we are the ones protecting and promoting Chinese culture. These are national treasures of the ROC, jewels of the Chinese civilization.
The National Palace Museum has a large collection of Chinese cultural artifacts that it’s now showing the world.

翠玉白菜首度亮相歐洲 台捷交流迎重要里程碑
2025-09-12
故宮博物院百年院慶，首度到捷克辦海外特展，展出翠玉白菜、清明上河圖等國寶，但中國國台辦竟稱這是文化台獨、去中國化，故宮院長蕭宗煌重申，這是單純的文化交流，隨行的立法院副院長江啟臣也強調，台灣在維護與發揚中華文化，陸委會副主委梁文傑反批，當年搞文革的是中國，誰破壞中華文化顯而易見。
見證歷史性的一刻，故宮百年海外特展，第一站來到捷克國家博物館，人氣國寶翠玉白菜，更是首次踏上歐洲。
[[捷克國家博物館總館長 盧卡其]]
“這是翠玉白菜首次展出，我可以保證，會吸引許多民眾熱烈關注，就像蒙娜麗莎一樣受歡迎”
不只翠玉白菜，還有重量級展品，像是清明上河圖、皇室的經典收藏多寶格等等，總計精選131組珍貴文物，只是台灣帶自己的國寶出國辦展覽，中國卻很有意見。
[[國台辦發言人 陳斌華]]
“民進黨當局一方面，極力推進文化台獨，去中國化，另一方面又大肆利用中華文化瑰寶，進行謀獨操弄”
[[陸委會副主委 梁文傑]]
“搞文化大革命不是我們，是中共，他以前講說什麼要破四舊，思想、文化、風俗、習慣，要破壞中華文化的是中共，不是我們”
陸委會反嗆破壞中華文化的是中國，故宮院長蕭宗煌，也有話要說。
[[國立故宮博物院院長 蕭宗煌]]
“推介的也是故宮裡面的文物收藏，然後介紹的也是中華文化的精髓，所以沒有什麼去中，也沒有什麼詆毀文物，都沒有這些事情，就是單純的一個文化交流”
[[立法院副院長 江啟臣]]
“這個是一個中華文化，在捷克很重要的展現，我們希望北京政府也應該正視，我們在維護，發揚，還有保護中華文化，這是中華民國的國寶 ，這是中華文化的瑰寶”
台灣透過故宮，妥善重要文物，反觀中國發動文革大肆破壞，誰真正在維護中華文化，答案再清楚不過。
