The Forbidden City was accused of colluding with a guide to privately pay tickets for 100,000 seals.

From the sneak sneak door, the typo door, the club door in May, to the Ge Kiln Gate, the 瞒 门 gate, and the private door in August, the “扒 扒” movement around the Palace Museum continued to escalate. The "New Century" magazine published on the previous day published a cover report titled "The Palace Museum", pointing directly to the Forbidden City, which is known as China's number one cultural heritage. Yesterday, Caixin.com published a report entitled "The 100,000 Yuan Sealing Fee Suspended" and the report titled "The Palace Museum has damaged important cultural relics." As mentioned above, in 2009, the Forbidden City had a case of private placement of self-directed self-directed performances. After the incident was revealed, the insider was blackmailed for 100,000 yuan "sealing fee." Later, the author quoted insiders of the Forbidden City as saying that after the incident of the Song Dynasty Ge Yaoqing glazed mouth plate was damaged on July 4, the Forbidden City also had important cultural relics (the old Tibetan wooden screen) was damaged.

Sealing fee

The media questioned the Forbidden City to seal the money for the cover-up?

The Forbidden City responded that there was no response to the rumor of sealing fees

"In the process of interviewing the Forbidden City, the most heard sentence was 'covering past' or 'cracking'. From the burglary to the damage of cultural relics, the first reaction of the Forbidden City was the same." In the reporter's note published yesterday, Cai New network reporter Ren Bo is so sighed.

The article quoted a number of sources as saying that before and after 2009, there was a case of private placement of a self-directed self-directed performance in the Forbidden City. After the incident, the cover of the Forbidden City’s leadership was done to the extreme.

In the article, Ren Bo disclosed in detail the process of the “sealing fee scandal”: according to regulations, all the tickets for the Forbidden City must be directly turned over to the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Finance has strict supervision over the Forbidden City. However, there are guides who have the ability to directly lead tourists into the Forbidden City, bypassing the ticket-buying process, which is the evasion ticket. "Of course, the money still has to be paid, but the tourists' money is not to go to the Ministry of Finance, but to privately blend them. The tour guides and the guards of the Forbidden City directly settle the accounts.

Ren Bo said that it is difficult to check how many tickets have been lost. Perhaps it is because the trial and error is too smooth, and the scale of the escaping ticket has developed to an unobtrusive level. It was unlucky, it was seen in the eyes, and the whole process was photographed and set aside.

Grabbing such a rare handle, the lion opened his mouth and asked the Forbidden City for a sealing fee of 200,000 yuan. The Forbidden City not only did not report to the police, but also seriously sent a director to negotiate and put the price to 100,000 yuan. In the end, the leader is the master, and the funds are officially paid from the finance department to the extortion.

The blackmail incident has subsided. After that, only one contract worker was expelled, and the others were safe. The most ironic thing is that the defending office of the Forbidden City was also rated as a model party branch.

"More than one person mentioned this matter and cited it as a shameful shame on the Forbidden City. I have always wanted to know how the 'Leader' of the Forbidden City signed and pledged the money, and what name is used to withdraw the money. I would like to know more. The question is how much money the Forbidden City still spends in this way." Ren Bo said.

Caixin.com reporter applied to the Audit Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Culture for disclosure of relevant information. The Audit Commission said that these situations need to be looked at by other departments. The Ministry of Finance indicated that it would postpone the disclosure of the relevant situation. The Ministry of Culture asserted that the audit of the Forbidden City did not find financial problems.

Yesterday, the person in charge of the relevant departments of the Palace Museum told this reporter that the report on the “sealing fee” has no response at the Forbidden City.

Report door

The media questioned the wooden screen of the Qing Dynasty was blistered?

The Forbidden City responds to the normal restoration and dedusting of cultural relics

Caixin.com reporter quoted insiders of the Forbidden City as saying that after the cracking of the Song Dynasty kiln glazed sunflower mouth plate on July 4th, the important cultural relics were damaged.

According to reports, the cultural relics of the accident were the old wooden screens of the Qing Palace, which were kept by the Palace Department of the Forbidden City. The screen was soaked in water when it was repaired by the Ministry of Science and Technology. After the accident, the person in charge of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Science and Technology kept concealing the report from the hospital for more than one week. Later, due to the exposure of the Song dynasty kiln green glaze sunflower mouth plate was exposed, the matter was reported to the hospital. It is said that the Forbidden City has not reported the incident of damage to the cultural relics to the higher level. The report did not disclose the time of the incident.

The above-mentioned insiders said that the cultural relics of the Forbidden City were damaged, and the facts reported were not cultural relics but internal interests. For a long time, many incidents of cultural relic damage have occurred in the Forbidden City. None of them have been dealt with. On the contrary, many directly responsible persons have been promoted.

Earlier, the netizen "Long Can" broke the news in the blog, saying that four incidents of cultural relics damage in the Forbidden City in recent years were reported. The above-mentioned insider said that the "Long Can" is basically true, but the current vice president Chen Lihua mentioned in his blog was the director of the court department, and the box that placed the Buddha image was treated as a waste material. The abandoned box is not a Buddha statue, but a compilation. After the incident happened, no one was responsible.

The person familiar with the matter said that when Chen Lihua was promoted to be the vice president of the Palace Museum, many insiders raised objections, but Chen Lihua was still promoted.

The person familiar with the matter said that at present, the managers of many functional departments of the Forbidden City lack the quality of cultural relics management. The insiders said that due to the lack of responsibility for the incident of cultural relics, the awareness of the protection of cultural relics in the Forbidden City is waning.

Yesterday, the reporter of this newspaper asked the relevant departments of the Palace Museum for verification. The staff said that the relevant departments of the Palace Museum had verified the incident. After investigation, the above-mentioned cultural relics were not damaged. "The cultural relics they said were blistered." In fact, it is doing normal repair and dust removal."

Other hotspot tracking

The media questioned the income generated by private auctions?

The Forbidden City responded incorrectly to the acquisition failure

The "China Youth Daily" published on August 5 published a long-form report entitled "The Mystery of the Five Songs of the Song Dynasty", saying that some netizens posted questions about the "revenue-generating" collection of valuable cultural relics in the private auction hall of the Palace Museum. The day before yesterday, the Palace Museum responded by saying that the acquisition funds were not approved in the past, the acquisition was not realized, and there was no “private auction of precious collections”. The purchase records on the official website and related documents were mistakes.

According to the "China Youth Daily" report, on May 16 this year, a netizen named "Xiangjiang Yuyin" posted a post on the Internet, citing the diary of the famous cultural relics expert Yan Guanghui, which pointed out that the Palace Museum was auctioned and collected in 1997. Five precious books of the Northern Song Dynasty that were once lost overseas, but the batch of books was once again “appeared” in the cultural relics auction market in 2005, and was sold at a price more than twice the purchase price in 1997.

"What is the power of the Forbidden City to auction the state-owned cultural relics purchased by the public in the same year?" Netizens pointed out that the National Palace Museum was suspected of violating the law.

On the same day (August 5th), the reporter of the Palace Museum, Feng Naien, firmly denied this in an interview with this reporter. He said that because of some rumors, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage had specifically investigated the matter to the Palace Museum. The Palace Museum has reported the situation truthfully. "The Palace Museum has never bid for and collected five books of the Northern Song Dynasty celebrities. There is no such thing as a private auction collection."

The day before yesterday, the Palace Museum sent a letter to the China Youth Daily to explain this.

The Palace Museum explained that in 1997, Beijing Hanhai Auction Co., Ltd. auctioned 5 Song people's books at the spring auction. At that time, Mr. Xu Bangda, a famous paint and painting appraiser, wrote to the higher authorities to recommend the acquisition. After the implementation of the argumentation procedure, the Palace Museum and the auction company approached the media. The use of this amount of funds to purchase cultural relics must be applied to the higher authorities, which was not realized because it was not approved.

"About the acquisition of the "80th Anniversary of the Palace Museum" published in our hospital in 2005 and the official website of the "History of the Year" of the official website, it is found that this is due to the mistakes in the publication of the official documents of the school in the same year. Based on the application for the funding documents at that time, there was no verification of the final result of the application without approval and failure to purchase.” The Palace Museum said that it will correct this information on the official website, “The Palace Museum Eighty Years” The book will need to be corrected when it is reprinted.

For such an explanation, the industry does not buy it. Some people further questioned: If the Forbidden City is true, why they did not take the initiative to explain the matter after the failure of the acquisition in the past, but let the "false news" report through the media and other means. Widely spread?

“The inside of the industry is well known. The 'Forbidden City Collection' is a gold-plated signboard. From 6.82 million in 1997 to 22.275 million in 2005, the auction prices of these five cultural relics have more than doubled. How much contribution did the Forbidden City make? This is the Forbidden City. 'The acquiescence of advertising', or the seller of the year 2005 is a cheaper? We need the explanation of the Forbidden City!" An industry insider who did not want to be named said that if it is "accepted advertising", the Palace Museum has a violation of the "price" .
