At present, there are 143 cultural relics such as China's national treasures or important cultural properties appearing on the museum website. Only a few cultural relics are marked as donations, and most of them are not marked with the source, which makes people inevitably full of doubts about their source. There are Ma Yuan's Crossing the Water in the Cave, Fishing Alone in the Cold River, Kai Liang's Snow Scene, Li Baixing's Song, Six Ancestors Cutting Bamboo, Li Di's Red and White Lotus, etc.
In addition, China's cultural treasures are numerous in Japanese museums. Almost all Japanese 1000 public and private museums have China's collections, and the number should be several hundred thousand. The calligraphy of Wang Xizhi, a famous calligrapher and "book saint" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, has enjoyed endless charm in Japan for thousands of years. Wang Xizhi's "Mourning Post" was introduced to Japan in the Tang Dynasty, or was brought to Japan by Jian Zhen monks when they traveled eastward. Now kept by the Japanese royal family, it is considered to be the only original work of Wang Xizhi. As far as Oracle bone fragments are concerned, Japan is the country with the largest collection. Among the nearly 30,000 Oracle bones lost overseas in China, there are nearly 6,543,800+3,000 in Japanese collection.
Niu Xianfeng, Deputy Director-General of China Special Fund for Saving Lost Overseas Cultural Relics, revealed that in the 50 years before 1945, the Japanese plundered China's cultural relics as a planned strategic act. For example, many Japanese who participated in the construction of "Manchuria Railway" are actually scholars in history, culture and archaeology. They made a thorough investigation of the cultural relics and historic sites in China on the grounds of investigating the local geographical conditions.
According to statistics, from 193 1 year to the end of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in 1945, the Japanese army plundered 1879 boxes of cultural property and at least 3.6 million cultural relics. At the southern end of the Blowing Imperial Garden in the Japanese Imperial Palace, there is a building complex called "Imperial House", which includes five buildings and is a place to collect trophies. However, because it is located in the Japanese Imperial Palace, the Japanese Palace Hall has always prohibited any outsiders from entering and refused to show it to the public on the grounds of state property.
