In 2017, the National Palace Museum planned an exhibition around the “Palace memorial on the inspection tour to six Taiwanese aboriginal tribes in Sazum and on their illegal land reclamation” from the NPM collection and produced a supplementary documentary about developments in Taiwanese history. This documentary, filmed in 4K high resolution, has incorporated the newest technological advancements, adding new modes of visualization such as 3D modeling and GIS mapping to create more realistic video effects.
The documentary tells the story from the perspectives of Liu Yunke, the Governor General of Fujian-Zhejiang, as well as other key historical figures of the period, as they became involved in the land, peoples, and policies surrounding the Sun Moon Lake during the mid-Qing dynasty. The film attempts to recall the historical memories regarding developments in middle Taiwan and to reconstruct an important scene in Taiwan’s land reclamation process.
