英文內容大要：
Taiwanese painter Chen Cheng-po, active during the Japanese Period, devoted the prime of his life to exploring every corner of Taiwan, seeking out its beauty and expressing it in his paintings.
He might have used the Taiwanese phrase "tsáu-tshuē" to describe his state of mind. "Tsáu" means to move, to explore one's surroundings, while "tshuē" means to search. To truly "seek," one cannot simply sit still and daydream; like a naturalist, one must actively venture out, using keen observation to look for clues and gradually uncover hidden mysteries.
Through eight of Chen Cheng-po's paintings, along with a work that deeply inspired him— Shiotsuki Toho's Kuroshio —this exhibition invites you to seek out the nature of Taiwan, our shared dwelling place.

作者簡介：

The National Taiwan Museum was originally established in 1908 to commemorate the opening of the north-south railway in Taiwan and began with over 10,000 items related to Taiwan's academia, art, and industry. A Newer building was later built to house the collection in 1915. After the ROC took over Taiwan, it was known as the Taiwan Provincial Museum until 1999 when it changed its name to the National Taiwan Museum. It is the only museum established during the Japanese era that still stands today. The museum also underwent renovations in 2017.
The museum has four areas: the main National Taiwan Museum (which is the focus of this blog), the Land Bank Exhibition Hall, Nanmen Park, and Railway Department Park. In the future, the Monopoly Bureau and the Mitsui Bussan Company Building will be added.
