Cultural relics and antiques are two different concepts, but many people confuse cultural relics and antiques. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Antiques refer to the ancient people's cherished handicrafts or calligraphy and paintings, etc., antiques are also known as antiques, highlighting a 'play' word, there are a small number of ancient relics of handicrafts of humanistic value.

The 'Dong' of antiques is actually 'understanding', which refers to some people who have studied and understood the playthings of these ancient humanistic values, and later antiques and antiques were universal.

Cultural relics are not, although they are all left over from ancient history, but the value of cultural relics lies in the 'history', these ancient leftovers, representing a race and a country in the development of a lot of information, to tell future generations, their ancestors at that time survival, social, cultural and other backgrounds.

However, in the past, all mankind had a common knowledge, that is, cultural relics belonged to every nation, but now this common knowledge has been gradually blurred, and many people have proposed that cultural relics should belong to human beings.

The museum displays cultural relics, which come from various periods of prehistory and posthistory, spanning thousands of years, and reflect the ecology, humanities, and economic conditions and ideologies of the society, the country, and the nation from different aspects of various cultural relics.

In the history of China, from the Han Dynasty as a decomposition line, the word cultural relics originated from the "Zuo Chuan", but the cultural relics at that time referred to the canonical system of ritual music, and later the ritual music collapsed, and the cultural relics arrived in the Tang Dynasty, which is almost the same as the current meaning.

Luo Bingwang said: "Cultural relics are moved to Russia, and the heroic soul has its ups and downs"

Du Mushi said: "The cultural relics of the Six Dynasties are even in the sky, and the sky is light and the clouds are idle, and the present and the ancient times are the same."

They all use cultural relics as a lesson to warn the world, don't go to the road of the previous dynasty.

Up to now, these preserved cultural relics and cultural relics that have not yet been unearthed have become important evidence for modern people to study the wisdom of the ancients.

The scriptures handed down by the ancients, such as the more famous Confucian classics "Shangshu", "Analects", "Spring and Autumn", etc., have undergone thousands of years of translation and research, although they seem to be perfect, but they will inevitably add or delete other things due to force majeure.

If an original manuscript of that year is unearthed, it will be a big sensation for the entire literary and historical discipline system, such as the silk book "Warring States Zongheng Family Book" unearthed in the Mawangdui Han Tomb in 1973, which writes that when Zhang Yi was the prime minister of Qin, Su Qin had not yet stepped into the political arena.

In the past, the Warring States Policy recorded the two as the same era, which is simply misinformation, and it is not that Su Qin and Zhang Yi are in the Zongheng family to divide the general trend of the world, and the Zongheng family who is really comparable to Zhang Yi in the same period is Gongsun Yan.

The excavation of this cultural relic directly reshaped Su Qin, although I dare not say that there is a truth about the historical figures, but at least from the point of view of evidence, it is a major discovery.

After Wang Yao carefully admired it from in front of each booth, although he only knew the name and purpose of such cultural relics, he could not know more, because Wang Yao did not have much knowledge in this area, and history was a blind spot for him, and his cognition of many historical figures was learned from the later artistic processing of opera and storytelling.

"This thing is beautiful, isn't it?" said Mr. Ma with a smile behind him.

Wang Yao straightened up, turned his head and smiled, "Are you done?"

"Well, that's the end of the nonsense. Mr. Ma smiled and approached the booth that Wang Yao was seeing, "This thing is from the Qin and Han dynasties." ”

"Have you seen it?" asked Wang Yao with a smile.

"It can be seen that there are more bronzes before the Qin and Han dynasties, and the ones unearthed in the Shang and Zhou dynasties are all large artifacts, because they are all ritual vessels, so the weight looks relatively large, such as our national treasure now, the stepmother Wuding, the horse stepping on the Feiyan, etc., this little thing is so fine, it looks like it is for people to play with. ”

Mr. Ma pointed to the bronze square cup and said, "Look at the patterns on it, there are more plain and irregular patterns." ”

Wang Yao took a closer look, and it was really.

"So this thing, nine times out of ten, belongs to Qin and Han, you don't need to read the introduction, do you know why?" Mr. Ma glanced at Wang Yao with a smile.

Wang Yao smiled, "Because you understand." ”

"Huh. Mr. Ma laughed, "Yes, to tell you this way of identification, before the Warring States period to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, they did not get rid of slavery, so the patterns on their bronzes are mostly some totem patterns, you know the totem culture of China." ”

Wang Yao nodded and watched carefully.

"Since the Qin and Han dynasties, into feudal rule, the mind is a little freer, so these patterns began to become diversified, at that time people like to be flat, horizontal and vertical look at the majesty, this kind of smooth and concise patterns are more, and slowly develop more and more concise, which has something to do with the strength of the country, so don't look at it is just a bronze wine glass, which hides the historical background of two thousand years ago. Mr. Ma squinted and smiled, "The cultural relics are interesting." ”

"Interesting. Wang Yao looked at the bronze wine glass again, and felt that it was mysterious.

"These are the stories of our ancestors, they are all fate and initiative until now, you haven't played with these things, you think about a thing that is more than 2,000 years old, so exquisite, hold it in your hand, what do you think? Don't you think it's amazing?" Mr. Ma waved at the bronze wine glass in the glass case with a smile on his face, as if to say hello.

Wang Yao pursed the corners of his mouth and stroked the dzi on his neck.

Mr. Ma glanced at Wang Yao and was stunned, "By the way, you seem to have really played with it, this thing around your neck is a family heirloom?"

Wang Yao blinked, this dzi is Su Hai's virtuous dzi, and it can also be regarded as a family heirloom "Yes." ”

"It's a good thing, I don't know it, but it has an aura. Mr. Ma said.

"Take a look?" Wang Yao smiled as he took off the dzi and handed it to Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma held his hands and watched carefully.

The reason why Wang Yao showed it to Mr. Ma was that Mr. Ma was a person who understood, and if he didn't show him, he would definitely rack his brains to be curious, and show him directly and generously, and he would be addicted to it.

After all, Wang Yao saw that this Mr. Ma's identity was not ordinary, and this museum specially invited him to come, and he must be a figure with status.

"Good thing, kind of like the dzi of Tibetan Buddhism. Mr. Ma studied it for a while and returned it to Wang Yao.

"I don't know, it's passed down from my family. Wang Yao said with a smile after taking it, and continued to walk around the museum, which is not small, divided into several exhibition areas, with some bronzes and silverware on the outside, and furniture and craft areas on the inside.

With Mr. Ma's introduction, Wang Yao had another layer of understanding of these cultural relics, and the two walked to the calligraphy and painting area, which seemed to be still being renovated, and the staff wore white gloves and held some frames on the wall to make comparisons.

A manager greeted him and took Mr. Ma and Wang Yao to a room in the back, where there was a huge wooden table, at least 30 square meters, covered with various calligraphy and paintings, and some painting scrolls on the wall, and several staff members with masks were framing.

"Mr. Ma, you give me a palm. The manager said with a smile.

Mr. Ma smiled and looked at the first word

'Yutang really appreciates the ink flower new, the white-headed Mo ancient Taoist people,

Remembering the old question of the mountain window, the green red beans have been in the past. ’

"Wang Shimin's words?" Mr. Ma looked at the payment and seal and said in surprise, "His words are rare, why were they collected by you?"

Wang Shimin is a painter in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, when he was young, he was talented and born in a famous family, apprenticed to the great painter Dong Qichang, studied painting, and was an official for a while in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang Inspection, visited many famous mountains and holy waters, and later changed the dynasty, Wang Shimin retired to the mountains, and the nine sons under his knees were all officials in the Qing Dynasty.

Grandson Wang Yuanqi is Kangxi's "Longevity Ceremony", and now it is a national treasure.

Wang Shimin's painting school 'Loudong School', Wang Jian, Wang Hui, Wang Yuanqi are known as the Four Kings, plus Yun Shouping and Wu Li are collectively known as the "Qing Six Schools", which plays a pivotal role in the painting world.

This great painter judged the situation and lived until he was 89 years old, and his children and grandchildren were all capable officials, so he handed down many manuscripts of famous paintings, but there were not many calligraphy.

"How?" Mr. Ma admired himself and turned his head to look at Wang Yao.

Wang Yao pursed the corners of his mouth, "The strokes are even, the circle is in and out, the calligraphy is solemn and subtle, and the calligraphy is solemn and subtle, and the transition to the light and convenient regular script, the knots are straight and broad." Good word. ”

Originally, the manager thought that Wang Yao was the junior brought by Mr. Ma, and he didn't take it too seriously, but when he heard Wang Yao's professional evaluation, he suddenly came close and said, "This little brother, what do you call it?"

"Just one of my younger brothers. Mr. Ma said lightly.

The manager also knew each other and didn't ask much, but he was much more eager for Wang Yao, a professional calligraphy and painting firmer, and he was an important talent for any museum, not to mention, Wang Yao was still so young.

There are a total of thirty-two paintings, ten pairs of characters, and twenty-two paintings, and Wang Yao admired it, and his proficiency in painting and calligraphy has increased a lot.

"Two, leave a word, write some impressions. The manager handed the pen he had prepared a long time ago to Mr. Ma and said with a smile.

Mr. Ma has a certain reputation in the world of collecting and cultural relics, and his words will add a lot of color to the museum, although it is not a treasure of ink.

Mr. Ma thought about it, dipped in ink, squeezed out some ink, he liked to write a dry pen, and wrote a line of poetry: 'The ancients left no stone unturned, and the young and strong worked hard to become old. 'Settled' Guanfu

Then he handed the pen to Wang Yao.

The manager carefully handed over Mr. Ma's ink treasure to the staff, turned his head to look at Wang Yao, and saw that his thin wrist was flipped, and his eyes widened when the words appeared on the paper, Wang Yao actually copied Wang Shimin's official calligraphy just now!

"If I am the Green Emperor in his year, I will bloom with the peach blossoms"

After Wang Yao finished writing, he also pursed the corners of his mouth, but did not make a payment.

Mr. Ma laughed, "What are you kid going to do?

Wang Yao smiled, "I still like this sentence, and I feel that it is written in Mr. Wang Shimin's official script, which has a special taste." (To be continued.) )
