Suzhou, December 26 (Reporter Zhong Sheng) On the evening of the 25th, the Suzhou Museum's special exhibition "Jiangnan of the Yuan Dynasty" was opened. The exhibition displays hundreds of precious Yuan Dynasty cultural relics, and the remaining mountain map and the useless master scroll of the "Fuchun Mountain Jutu" created by Huang Gongwang, the head of the "Yuan Four Families", also meet again through the form of "Cloud Shang".
Xia Kan, curator of the Suzhou Museum, introduced that the Yuan Dynasty was the first unified dynasty established by ethnic minorities in Chinese history, and its existence was not long, resulting in the general public often feeling unfamiliar with it. When it comes to the Yuan Dynasty, it is usually thought of "only knowing the bow and shooting the big eagle", and ignoring the various cultures during this period.

"Chinese civilization has been going up and down for five thousand years, and it has never been interrupted. The Yuan Dynasty is also an important part of this. In Xia Kan's view, the Yuan Dynasty has many differences in culture, religion and other aspects, creating a unique charm, giving birth to a number of famous artists such as Huang Gongwang, Zhao Mengfu, Ni Zhan and a large number of precious buildings and cultural relics, including the Lion Forest, one of the four famous gardens in Suzhou. In terms of artifact making and painting style, the Yuan Dynasty also had various influences on the Ming and Qing dynasties that followed.
The special exhibition brings together 108 Yuan Dynasty collections, 23 Ming and Qing Dynasty collections and 6 digital collections from 22 domestic and foreign museums, including the Palace Museum, the National Library of China, the Nanjing Museum, the Shanghai Museum, the National Palace Museum in Taipei, and the Cleveland Museum in the United States. It is worth mentioning that there are 39 first-class cultural relics and 26 second-class cultural relics in this exhibition, accounting for more than 60% of all exhibits, and the overall specifications of the exhibits are quite high.

The whole exhibition is divided into two parts: "Impression of Jiangnan" and "Jiangnan Style", which not only shows the style of Jiangnan in the Yuan Dynasty in a panoramic way, but also tries to reveal the shape and influence of the Yuan Dynasty on the literati culture of Jiangnan. In order to present the influence of the Yuan Dynasty on the history of Nanzong painting and the genre of literati painting in later generations, the exhibition specially set up a "imitation Yuan calligraphy and painting" unit, exhibiting 16 imitation Yuan works of Ming and Qing painters such as Dong Qichang and Lan Ying, from which we can glimpse the pursuit and inheritance of the landscape paintings of the Yuan Dynasty by the literati of later generations.

Travel through time and space, and the elegant events of the literati of the Yuan Dynasty are far away. (End)
