Chapter 218: The Treasure of the Town Hall
Hu Yang told everyone that in the future, if you have time, you might as well go to the museum to see, you don't have to spend money to go to the amusement park, and there is not much to learn about history and culture.
In general, museums are free. Many museums are closed one day a week, but they are rarely closed on weekends, after all, everyone has time on weekends. If it's closed on weekends, there's nothing to see about the museum.
Consultant Ye Xinye introduced to you that the museum has one basement and five floors above ground, which is mainly equipped with exhibition halls, collection preservation systems, educational service facilities, business and scientific research facilities, security, public services, and integrated management systems. The exhibition hall is divided into four parts: the history museum, the nature museum, the art museum and the temporary exhibition hall.
"Everyone, do you know what the treasure of this museum is?" asked Hu Yang.
Among the audience in the live broadcast room, there were people from the province and people who had been to the museum, and they immediately gave the answer. However, they said that they had not seen it because it seemed to be closed to the public.
When everyone heard this, they were all interested. With Brother Hu's blessing, I was fated to see the legendary golden monkey king inkstone.
"That's right! This inkstone, we seem to have mentioned it before. Now, let's go and have a look!" said Hu Yang.
Ye Xin led Hu Yang and Andy forward, since they arrived at the museum, they didn't see the treasures of the town, it was too undeserved.
Through the glass, you can see the inkstone displayed inside. This side is known as the first of the three strange inkstones in the world, and many people are very curious about what it looks like.
I saw that the inkstone is a flat cuboid, carved into the stone of the precious Duanxi Laokeng Daxi Cave, the stone color is purple and blue with a little green, the stone is dense, solid, delicate, tender as a child's skin, there are fish brain jelly, fire hammer, blue and white and gold thread and other stone products.
"You have seen it, right? There is a natural fish brain jelly in the inkstone that resembles a macaque, and there is a rouge fire around it, and under the backdrop of the fire, the macaque image is vivid and lifelike. This is all naturally formed, a masterpiece of nature, and it is precisely because of this that it has been rated as the first of the three great inkstones in the world. Hu Yang said to everyone.
In addition, the forehead, lip, back and side of the inkstone are all decorated with thin and shallow carving techniques, and the mountains and mountains, flowing springs and waterfalls, and peach trees are carved according to their aptitude.
The two sides of the inkstone are engraved with the inscription, and the right side is inscribed: "Thousand Golden Monkey King Yan, Guangxu Renchen, Yushan He Xiansu Collection", and the left side inscription: "Guo Lanxiang as an inkstone, Xiang Xinnan journal".
"I saw a friend in the live broadcast room asking how much it was worth, in theory, this kind of treasure is worth a fortune. But if you have to measure it with money, take it to auction, tens of millions of people will definitely grab it, and no one knows what sky-high price it can get.
Since we have seen the Qianjin Monkey King inkstone, we must see another Duan inkstone, which is also one of the three strange inkstones, called Yanhua Sixiang inkstone.
I'll shut up and let the beautiful women tell you, you bastards. Hu Yangcai didn't say much, and was demolished by the audience in the live broadcast room.
He found that these guys were getting more and more presumptuous.
With the long time of contact, the relationship between the audience in the live broadcast room and Brother Hu has gradually narrowed, and they all joked unscrupulously.
may be precisely because of this, they feel that Brother Hu is very close, obviously a rich man, but he has no shelf at all.
Ye Xin said to everyone: "Look at this, that is, one of the three strange inkstones mentioned by Brother Hu just now, the Yanhua Four Elephant Inkstones. ”
I saw that its stone color was blue-gray and blue, the stone was delicate and delicate, and the inkstone was rectangular. The upper left corner of the forehead of the inkstone is engraved with the name of this inkstone, "Yanhua Sixiang Inkstone".
According to the natural "yellow dragon pattern" on the forehead of the inkstone, the craftsman of the inkstone is skillfully carved into a pine tree, with oblique branches and abundant pine needles.
The head of the crane carved next to it and the natural fish brain jelly in the inkstone hall are skillfully combined into a vivid white crane, the white crane flutters its wings and is pecking at the pine leaves, the shape is realistic.
"We are especially grateful to Mr. Shang Chengzuo, it is because of him that everyone has the opportunity to see these two strange inkstones. ”
Subsequently, Ye Xin told you a little about the story of the two inkstones.
I also told everyone that in fact, the three strange inkstones were all mined from an old pit.
During the Guangxu period, Zhang Zhidong served as the governor of Liangguang. This guy is a die-hard fan of Duan Yan, and as soon as he came to Liangguang, he instructed his staff He Pengzhou to be responsible for organizing the digging of pits and stones to build inkstones.
At the beginning, He Pengzhou was conscientious, and every time he mined a good end stone, He Pengzhou asked the craftsman to make a good inkstone and send it to Zhang Zhidong.
However, one day, someone came to report that three extremely top inkstones had been found. He Pengzhou went to take a look, only to see that the pattern on the end stone was gorgeous, and such a natural inkstone could not be found.
"Master Guo Lanxiang, the successor of the Guo family, a famous inkstone maker at that time, was hired to specially build a tripartite inkstone. Each side has a pattern image that resembles an animal, and one side looks like a monkey, which is the monkey king inkstone; One side is a crane; There is also a side like a lying cow.
After getting these three-party inkstones, He Pengzhou moved his mind. This time, instead of handing them over to Zhang Zhidong as usual, he secretly hid them himself. ”
Because the reputation is too great, many people want to get it, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Sanfang Qiyan turned the hands of several people, and was even obtained by Wang Jingwei's wife, after Japan surrendered, it was plundered again, and then went to the people.
Later, it was Professor Shang Chengzuo who inadvertently discovered the Thousand Golden Monkey King Yan, inquired in many ways, and found the middle-aged woman who sold the Thousand Golden Monkey Wang Yan and bought the Yanhua Sixiang Yan from her hand again.
"It's a pity that the last party Qiyan has never been found, and our museum has been looking for many years, but there is no news, which is a pity. Ye Xin said to everyone.
Since getting the two strange inkstones, the Guangdong Provincial Museum has been looking for the whereabouts of the last Qingniu inkstone, but there is no news.
After viewing the two strange inkstones, Populus Hu continued to lead everyone to see other treasures.
This museum, which is designated as the first batch of national first-class museums, has a very rich collection, reaching more than 170,000 pieces, and it is impossible to see it in one or two days, so you can only take you to see some more representative ones.
"There are more than 400 national first-class cultural relics alone. Among them, the Yuan Qinghua that everyone has been talking about is here. The Xuande furnace I got last time is also available here. Hu Yang said.
Moreover, the Xuande furnace is also a treasure of the Ming Dynasty, not imitated by the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
Of course, whether it was made during the Xuande period is still controversial. But its preciousness cannot be denied.
Not to mention Yuan Qinghua, I believe everyone has heard of it, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of treasures.
Not long after, displayed in front of the camera is a blue and white figure pattern jade pot spring vase, 30 centimeters high and 8 centimeters in diameter. The utensils have a skimming mouth, a slender neck, a wide round belly, and a circled foot. The inner mouth is painted with a circle of entwined branches, the neck is a banana leaf pattern and a ruyi pattern, the abdomen theme is decorated with a character story map, and the foot wall is a ruyi pattern.
Ye Xin said to everyone: "The pot spring bottle is a popular vessel shape in the Yuan Dynasty, which basically follows the system of the Song Dynasty, but it is thicker and fuller than that of the Song Dynasty.
This piece of Yuan blue and white is a national first-class cultural relic and is very precious. Twenty or thirty years ago, there were criminals who wanted to take it out of the country. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be sampled and inspected, so I kept this treasure. ”
"Speaking of Yuan Qinghua, I want to tell you that our country is not the country with the most collections.
At present, the country with the largest collection of Yuan blue and white flowers should be Turkey, with an estimated number of more than 40 pieces. They were all left over from the export of the Western Regions of the Yuan Dynasty. Hu Yang said to everyone.
As you know, the territory of the Yuan Dynasty was vast, and the country was very large, and Turkey was almost a neighbor of the Yuan Dynasty, so business exchanges were normal.
Although China is the production area of Yuan Qinghua, it is a relatively small country that has left behind to this day, and even Southeast Asian countries such as the Philippines have found it from time to time.
The reason why Yuan Qinghua is precious is because of the scarcity of existence.
According to incomplete statistics, there are only about 100 cases in the world.
I believe everyone knows what the origin of the collections of museums such as Japan and Britain is that the ancestors of the two countries were thieves and robbers.
Don't keep flaunting what gentlemanly style of the British, they are the most shameless, the former empire on which the sun never sets, almost plundered the whole world to fatten itself.
Seeing Hu Yang talking eloquently and all kinds of information at his fingertips, Ye Xin was very surprised. This person, as the curator said, is very powerful!
After watching the blue and white of the Yuan, I watched the Xuande furnace again.
Ye Xin introduced: "This is a copper furnace with openwork cloud dragon pattern in the Ming Dynasty. ”
I saw the flat bottom of the copper furnace and the curved bamboo-shaped feet. The lid is tall and stiff with rounded square buttons. The cover and the button are decorated with openwork cloud dragon patterns, and the lid is decorated with a circle of lotus petals near the button. The abdomen is decorated with two dragons fighting for longevity. The lid edge, button edge, burner lip and bottom edge are decorated with slub patterns.
The center of the outsole is engraved with a six-character regular script in Yangwen "Ming Xuande Year System".
"Just now, you said you also got one?" Ye Xin couldn't help but ask.
You must know that the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty is very precious, even if it is not the first batch of authentic Xuande furnaces produced, the imitation Xuande furnace behind the Ming Dynasty is quite rare to this day.
As long as there is, it can be rated as a national first-class cultural relic.
"I picked up one, but now it's out of my hands, it's in the hands of Fujian Hua Shixiong's seniors, and President Fang should know it. Hu Yang said.
Ye Xin was a little shocked, this man's luck is too good, right?
She heard from the curator that this guy also got the "Snow Walking Map" that had been lost for thousands of years, as well as the Nine Dragons Jade Cup, which is now kept in the museum.
Which one of them can not be easily rated as a national first-class cultural relic?
Others may never be able to touch one in their lifetime, but this person has only found three or four pieces in a row in a month, and no one is lucky.
Populus euphratica has taken you to see a lot of first-class cultural relics one after another, and they have all been briefly explained, so that everyone can understand the information a little.
"In front of it is the area for the restoration of cultural relics, I can take everyone to see it, but I can't disturb the work of the masters. Ye Xin said to everyone.
