Colonial Museum Cultural Research

Both of Guandong Office museum and Taiwan Praetorium museum were founded in the beginning of 20 century. The heavy background ,characteristic building, tortuous experience ,become the force of colony museum research."The sino-japanese war"ended with《Treaty of Shimonoseki》in 1895, the second item provided:""Liaodong peninsula, the Island and Affiliated islands, Pescadores are cessioned to Japan."After this, the Island was ruled by Japan for 50 years. Praetorium Museum was set up with the comprehensive investigation of natural resources and local residents by Japanese with the showing of colony achievement."The Government-general of Taiwan budding production bureau museum"was first established at he lottery building, which was set up with memorial of"the completed railway and opened to traffic"."Eryu houteng memorial museum"was built as memorial of the forth governor and chief civil affairs of Taiwan. It was began to built in April, 1913 and finished in March, 1915. Opended to the audience in August 20th ,1915.Under Japanese occupation , it undergone two subjection, first ,in the year 1920 it was subordinate to interior innings ,and second to bureau of culture and education in 1926.Guandong Office museum was more complex .As《Treaty of Shimonoseki》signed ,the Russian interests was threated, after"Three Countries' Intervention", Chinese government payed 30 million silver to Japan, and so was ruled by Russian 7 years. Today, the position of Guandong Office museum is founded as"Assembly of the army officers"by《City street design scheme of lvshun》. Because of the"Russo-Japanese War", it was only has finished the foundation. In the year 1905, Japan seized back the sovereignty of lvshun and dalian. The Japanese government began to built Guandong Office museum with Russian foundation in 1916, and finished in 1918, Opened to the audience In November 1918. During the 30 years of colonial ruled by Japan , Guandong Office museum was subordinate to the director government of Guandong State, Guandong Office, Guan Dong provincial department. From name of"products exhibitions","Manchuria and Mongolianae Product pavilion museum","Guandong Office museum"to"lvshun museum", we can see the Japanese colonists was stepped up.The buildings of two museums have the same style as coping Greece and Roman architectural. After"Meijirshin", this style was built as the official style in Japan druing this period. This architectural idea was spread to lvshun and Taiwan by Japanese colonial. "Museum is embody will of the state". The exhibition of these two museums was the good reflection. In the early time, Guandong Office museumn's display was to emphasize"Manchuria and Mongolianae". In the 1920s, the display included Manchuria, Mongolianae, inland of China, Xinjiang even India and so on. In 1930s, with the built of"Puppet Manchuria regime", it main displayed Manchuria historical relic. In Tai wan, during Governor museum time ,the disply was to performance the abound resources and the ignorant of the local inhabitant, in"Eryu houteng memorial museum"priod, it was to show the changed culture of Taiwan which was attributed by Japan.From above, we can see both of the two museums built by Japan have invasion, reaction even barbarous aspects. But we inevitably to admit that , with the built of museum ,the advanced logos scientific method was brougt to colony area, and promoted the birth of archaeological in China. So, we should take two sides attitude to colonial museum.
