Room 3, Feature Exhibit "History ・ Zheng Cheng Sucheng in Culture

Historical background of the period in which Zheng Cheng, the model for "The Battle of Guoxiang," lived, and the development of his image in Japan and Taiwan, respectively, are introduced along with materials ！.
Zheng Cheng Cheng was born in Hirado, Japan, in 1624. His father was Zheng Shilong, leader of a trading group, and his mother was the daughter of the Tagawa clan. Zheng Cheng Kung, who supported the Southern Ming in their economic ・ and military efforts to rebuild the Ming Dynasty, has been deified in Taiwan since his death as the "Saint King of Kaitai.
In Japan, more than 50 years after his death, Chikamatsu Monzaemon created the puppet play "Kokusaiya Kassen" based on Zheng Cheng Cheng. The play gained such popularity that it was performed for long periods of time, and was adapted into a Kabuki play, thus spreading the image of the play. The scene in which Watouchi （ Zheng Cheng Cheng ） wrestles a tiger has also been handed down to the present day as a folk art. In addition, Japan, which colonized Taiwan （ in 1895 ～ 1945 ） used the story of Zheng Cheng Sung to legitimize its rule over Taiwan.
In this special exhibition, we will consider the connection between Taiwanese and Japanese history and culture through the images of Zheng Cheng Cheng in Japan and Taiwan in three different periods: the 17th century when he lived, the 18th century when he transformed into a new story in Japan, and the modern era.
This special exhibition is held in cooperation with the National Museum of Taiwan History as an exchange program with the museum.
