Chang says, "In Taiwan's limited space, many of its cultural artifacts were damaged due to conditions of war and frequent natural disasters. Art that was well preserved was held by private collectors as family heirlooms and not easily seen on the market. These factors made collecting quite difficult."
「台灣幅員小，戰亂、天災不斷，致使文獻大多毀壞，即使保存完好，基於傳家之寶不外賣的觀念，也不會輕易流入市場，因此在蒐藏上相當不易。」
