Section 277 Food for Thought

The 3048 volumes of pre-Qin bamboo slips were taken to the Yanjing Imperial Palace, the Taiwan and North Imperial Palaces, and the first-class museums of the National Museum of China, all of which are treasures of the town hall and top Chinese cultural treasures.

The fourth exhibition hall is Chinese porcelain culture.

From the earliest primitive porcelain, to the porcelain in the real sense of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's southern green and northern white, Tang Sancai, the Song Dynasty's five famous Song kiln blue and white porcelain, Jianyao and Jizhou kiln black porcelain.

The glaze red of the Yuan Dynasty, the famous Yuan and blue and white, the Doucai, blue and white, underglaze color, and overglaze color of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the most famous Qing Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, pastel porcelain, enamel colored porcelain, all the way to the Republic of China porcelain, modern Mao porcelain, and the famous export porcelain in the history of Chinese porcelain.

In the fourth exhibition hall, the exhibition hall with the theme of Chinese porcelain culture has everything, which is very comprehensive, very large, very complete, and very boutique.

It can be said that the formation and development history of Chinese porcelain are all condensed in the fourth exhibition hall.

Visitors can appreciate each piece of porcelain in the fourth exhibition hall and the text descriptions under the porcelain, and the museum docents can clearly understand the Chinese porcelain culture, as well as the formative period of Chinese porcelain, and the development of porcelain in each period.

In the fourth exhibition hall, the largest number of onlookers, the most dense place is the exhibition hall to display 14 pieces of Song Dynasty five famous kilns, Yuan and blue and white porcelain, Qing Dynasty three dynasties official kiln porcelain, a set of modern porcelain tea sets.

These porcelains are too famous.

The five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, the Yuan, the blue and white, and the official kiln porcelain of the Qing Dynasty are not to mention, and the auction houses and the international art trading market have set a transaction price of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of yuan.

Even if '7051' porcelain has a special meaning of 'chairman's porcelain'. With its 'Mao porcelain four unique' white as jade. Bright as a mirror. Thin as paper, sound like Xin and its profound connotation, it has become a very famous porcelain in the Chinese porcelain collection industry, a 7501 porcelain spoon is 100,000 yuan, a small porcelain bowl is 1.7 million yuan, and a set of wine utensils with ten cups in a pot is 2 million yuan!

This was the price that was sold 10 years ago.

The set of '7501' porcelain tea sets in the fourth exhibition hall includes one waist drum teapot, four waist drum teacups/saucers, one tea can, two victory cups, and four horseshoe teacups. It was 'Mr. John' who bought it from a collector in New York for 4.17 million US dollars, equivalent to nearly 26 million yuan.

After visiting the fourth exhibition hall, Zhu Guoqiang and Tang Lei walked into the fifth exhibition hall with the flow of people.

The fifth exhibition hall is themed on what kind of Chinese culture is.

A lot of people guessed it.

That is the culture of Chinese calligraphy, calligraphy and painting.

Chinese writing originated very early, integrating the writing of words into the creator's concept, thinking, and spirit, and can stimulate the aesthetic emotions of aesthetic objects, and develop to an aesthetic stage, which is the art of calligraphy.

Our Chinese ancestors gradually sublimated the writing of Chinese characters into an art, which has to be said to be a miracle in the history of the development of various languages in the world.

Equally. The depiction of pictures is developed to an aesthetic stage, which is the art of calligraphy and painting.

The culture of calligraphy, calligraphy and painting accounts for a large proportion of the composition of Chinese culture.

It's the same as porcelain culture. It is the splendid double wall of Chinese culture.

If the fourth exhibition hall is Chinese porcelain culture, then the fifth exhibition hall is very easy to guess, it must be Chinese calligraphy, calligraphy and painting culture.

Walk into the fifth exhibition hall.

The fifth exhibition hall is a long corridor, and the walls of the corridor are hung with calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings.

The amount is very large.

The centuries-long corridor is lined with calligraphy and paintings.

Famous painting schools and painters with extensive influence in Chinese history, such as the Ming Dynasty's Zhejiang School, Wumen School, Song and Jiang School, Wulin School, Jiaxing School, Qingteng Baiyang, Nanchen and North Cui, Qing Dynasty's Jinling School, Xin'an School, Four Kings Wu Yun, Four Monks, Yangzhou Eight Monsters, Shanghai School, as well as Qing Dynasty court paintings and local painting schools can be found on the walls on both sides of the corridor.

Some visitors roughly counted the number of more than 2,700 pieces.

Among them, there are many fine paintings by famous painters and painting masters such as Wen Zhengming of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Tang Yin, Shen Zhou, Zheng Banqiao, Wu Changshuo, and modern Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian.

Some of these paintings were purchased and auctioned off, and some of them were exchanged for artefacts from the Louvre, the British Crown, and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Some of the disappointing for tourists are:

In order to prevent some visitors from touching or deliberately destroying these calligraphy treasures, the museum uses a thin piece of tempered glass to separate visitors from calligraphy and paintings.

There are also some calligraphy, paintings, and calligraphy that are reproductions.

Although ordinary tourists may not be able to see it, among these tourists, there are some painters and experts in calligraphy and painting, who can be seen at a glance.

These reproductions are all precious calligraphy and paintings.

It is important to know that the paper will be very damaged if it is exposed to air, light, and noise for a long time.

Therefore, some extremely valuable calligraphy and paintings are stored in the basement with constant temperature, constant humidity, fire prevention, anti-theft, and automatic control with modern technology.

Zhu Guoqiang and Tang Lei left the fifth exhibition hall along the corridor with the flow of people.

It's not enough.

After walking through the 600-meter-long corridor, he felt as if he had received a baptism of the mind of classical Chinese culture, and felt that his whole spirit had been sublimated.

It's a pleasure to be in the mood.

No wonder the ancients always said that food for the soul.

Integrating the ancient calligraphers, the painter's concepts, thinking, and spirit are the spiritual food of a calligraphy, or a calligraphy and painting.

Eating makes the spirit happy.
