Ancient site at Anyang was never properly excavated. During WWII
the site was bulldozed into rail cars and taken to Taiwan. The twain
would never speak to one another until this effort.
National Museum of History: HENANSHENG YUN TAI GUWU TULU. (An
Illustrated Catalogue of Artefacts from Henan Province Taken to
Taiwan). Taibei, 1999. 160 pp. Colour plates. 30x22 cm. Paper.
GBP 45.00
Available
A collaborative work between the Henan Museum and the National Museum
of History in Taibei detailing and depicting the 38 crates of
artefacts from Henan province that were taken to Taiwan in 1949 by the
Nationalists. The artefacts included Xinzheng bronzes, jades, Tang
sancai tomb statuary, objects from the Yinxu excavations, textiles
etc. The work is most interesting in apparently being a first effort
to collate these artefacts. Lists of the artefacts are given and a
good number of major pieces illustrated in colour. In Chinese.
