Источниковедение и историография Китая к 150-летию академика В. В. Бартольда (1869–1930). Ч. 2 53 Wang Jen-chun (IHP Museum, Academia Sinica, Taipei) From the Highest Heaven to the Yellow Springs: Historiography Exhibited at the Museum of the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica Pioneers of the Institute of History and Philology (IHP) in the 1920s to 30s set out pathways of new science for the contemporary intellectual communities in all aspects, even in museology. Dr Fu Ssu-nien (1896–1950) established the Institute in 1928, and later in 1933 organized the Preparatory Office for the National Central Museum, envisioning the museum as the platform to display academic achievements, meanwhile, educateing the public and fostering the advancement of science and culture. After moving to Taiwan in 1949, the Office was combined with the Peking Palace Museum and in 1965 transformed into the National Palace Museum. The Central Museum disappeared; however, the spirit of its founders has been revived in its former home, the IHP. During the tough time while foreign institutions and scholars coveted Chinese relics, the IHP forerunner sought out the first-hand sources through excavation, fieldwork, solicitation and acquisition. In the course of its more than 90 years of history, many leading scholars, not only local but also from overseas, have taken part in its activities, e.g., orientalist Paul Pelliot (1878–1945), archaeologist Johan Gunnar Andersson (1874–1960), and anthropologist S. M. Shirokogoroff (Sergei Mikhailovich Shirokogorov, 1887–1939) who came with his outstanding theories in physical anthropology and ethnology. Before its own display room was built, rich collections of the IHP had been displayed in numerous exhibitions at home and abroad, including “The Exhibition of Chinese Art” which was opened in Moscow State Museum of Oriental Cultures at the beginning of 1940, and travelled to Leningrad the following year, causing sensation in Russia. The exhibits returned to China only in the latter half of 1942, during the German-Soviet War, which is another intriguing but obscure story to tell. The IHP also planned exhibitions by itself.Amagnificent display was held around the same time as the Leningrad exhibition. During the critical time of Sino-Japan war, Academia Sinica relocated to the conservative town Lizhuang in the remote Sichuan Province of China in 1940. To eliminate rumours, such as stories about the bones from the Ruins of Yin being actually remains of humans eaten by the Institute fellows, the Institute programmed an exposition with prominent academicians, such as Li Ji (1896–1979), Dong Zuobin (1895–1963), Liang Siyong (1904–1954), who were lecturing local inhabitants on their research, showing them various scholarly materials, besides skeletons. This successful exhibition brought the Institute six years of safe residence, when remarkable studies were accomplished. In 1958, theArchaeology Hall at the present IHP location was supplemented with a showroom. Later, in 1986, the Institute’s Exhibition Hall Building was opened,
