Visit the Capital Museum's Heritage Preservation Exhibition
Catch a glimpse of Cixi's female dragon robe
On May 18, 2021, the "International Museum Day" was held at the Capital Museum, hosted by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the Beijing Municipal People's Government, and hosted by the Capital Museum, the China Silk Museum and the China Cultural Relics Conservation Technology Association. The whole exhibition is divided into five chapters: "Ten Thousand Years", "Wise Eye", "Skillful Hand", "Fanghua" and "Yongbao", which comprehensively displays the latest achievements in the protection of cultural relics in China's collection through a series of representative exhibits.
One of the important collections, the Huangjiang Silk Embroidered Five-Colored Bat Flat Golden Buddha Female Dragon Robe, was exhibited for the first time. In 1909, Cixi was buried in The Tanglin Tomb, and the Yellow River silk embroidered five-colored bat flat gold Buddha character female dragon robe is the outermost garment worn by Cixi into the funeral. After the restoration of the dragon robe, the pattern of the dragon in front of it is clearly visible and lifelike, not only the color is obvious, but even the small pattern of the collar and cuffs can be clearly seen.
Another collection, "Jiang Maode's Paintings of Landscape Drawings", also made a stunning appearance in the exhibition. It is five meters high and three meters wide, with a huge size, which had fallen into disrepair for a long time, folded together for a long time, and already had many creases and defacements. After the "magic hand rejuvenation" of the cultural relics conservator of the Palace Museum, it has now been revitalized. How exactly are these exquisite restorations repaired step by step? What are the hidden secrets behind the seemingly complex restoration of cultural relics?
Restoration of the process of "Jiang Maode Painting Landscape Drawing Stickers"
The program group specially invited Qu Liang, a teacher from the Palace Museum who personally participated in the restoration of "Jiang Maode Painted Landscape Drawings and Stickers", to explain the technical means behind the protection and restoration of cultural relics and share the experience of participating in the protection of cultural relics.
Punch in the Chinese Film Museum
How did a movie come about?
How exactly is a movie made? What are some shooting techniques that we don't know about? The China Film Museum, the world's largest national film museum, will reveal the answer for us.
The China Film Museum has 21 exhibition halls and areas for external public activities and exhibitions. On the first floor, a large-scale theme exhibition celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China for "Light and Shadow Lyrical Chapters striving for a new era" fully demonstrates the glorious course of Chinese cinema and the brilliant achievements of entering a new era since the founding of New China 70 years ago. The second to fourth floors are the exhibition "Century of Glory in a Hundred Years", which shows the development process of Chinese cinema in the past century, exhibits the development of film in different periods and stages and the important artistic achievements of the majority of filmmakers, and reveals the mystery of film production.
Set-making is a very common method of filmmaking. The so-called scene shooting is to build a scene related to the theme in the huge studio according to the needs of the director and the script. Here, according to the needs of the script, various scenes can be arbitrarily set up to achieve "calling the wind and rain" and creating convenient conditions for shooting. In the movie "No Thief in the World", the characters played by Uncle Lai and Andy Lau are actually filmed in a narrow space in the studio.
Unveil the mystery of the China Customs Museum
A smuggling boat tells the "story of spring"
Located on Jianguomennei Street in Dongcheng District, Beijing, adjacent to the General Administration of China Customs, the China Customs Museum is the only museum open to the public by China Customs. Here, a themed exhibition hall on the basement floor is the most special, and the Largest collection of the Customs Museum, the 902 Anti-Smuggling Boat, is stored here. What is unexpected is that under the bustling streets of Beijing, there is such a sea ship weighing about three hundred tons.
Customs 902 anti-smuggling boat
On November 19, 2009, the Customs 902 anti-smuggling boat successfully completed the 1012th cruise and was honorably retired. After that, it was disassembled and shipped to Beijing, where it was assembled 1:1 as it was for people to visit. During its 20 years of service, this anti-smuggling boat has made great achievements in cracking down on smuggling at sea. At the same time, it also witnessed an important time node of reform and opening up, and is a witness to the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
From January 18 to February 21, 1992, Deng Xiaoping inspected Wuchang, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shanghai, and other places, traveling more than 6,000 kilometers in 35 days. In the lively cabin of the 902 anti-smuggling boat, Deng Xiaoping talked freely about reform and opening up, and delivered an important part of the famous southern speech. Why would such an important conversation be conducted on a smuggling boat?
