View bronze artifacts, admire the famous paintings of the masters, and feel the intangible cultural heritage skills... On the occasion of the Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger, the upstream news reporter recommends a good place for cultural New Year: on January 26, the "Tiger Roaring Wind and Backgammon - Nonyin New Year Special Exhibition of the Year of the Tiger" will be held in the adjacent exhibition hall of the Jiangjin Museum. In this special exhibition, Jiangjin Museum and five museums in Sichuan and Chongqing jointly exhibit precious cultural relics with Guanhu elements such as bronzes, stone carvings, calligraphy and paintings, which comprehensively reflect the origin and evolution of tiger culture and the inheritance and development of tiger culture, so that the audience can explore history and understand cultural inheritance through physical objects.
The first heavy equipment, the charm of traditional culture exhibition
In nature, the tiger is the "chief of a hundred beasts", often inhabiting mountains and forests, is an endemic species in Asia, and is an important part of biodiversity. In Chinese folk mythology and belief, the tiger not only has the great power to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil spirits and deter small people, as one of the four divine beasts, the tiger also has the auspicious meaning of "living dragon and living tiger", "adding wings like a tiger" and "corresponding dragon and tiger".
The "Tiger Roaring Wind and Backgammon - Special Exhibition of the New Year of the Tiger" brought a total of 49 sets of precious cultural relics about tiger elements. Among them, a number of "heavy weapons" were assembled for the first time.
For example, the Chongqing Municipal Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology has a bronze tiger button in the Warring States and a bronze tiger pattern sword in the Warring States.

Talking about tigers, worshiping tigers, carving tigers, drawing tigers, cutting tigers... Through the wonderful appearance of cultural relics, the audience can intuitively feel the very distinctive Chinese tiger culture at close range. From "talking about the change of tiger color" to "tiger tiger is mighty", from the totem tiger, the white tiger, the fu tiger to the tiger of the town house, the emotion for the tiger changes from fear to worship, from diametrically opposed to harmonious symbiosis... The Jiangjin Museum's Special Exhibition of the Year of the Tiger will bring a cultural journey of "adding wings like a tiger" to the general public.
Sichuan-Chongqing linkage, tiger roaring wind to send auspicious
The special exhibition is divided into three units, of which the first unit "Dragon Tenghu Leap" and the second unit "Tiger Tiger Shengwei" exhibit a large number of precious cultural relics jointly prepared by five museums in Sichuan and Chongqing, such as the Song and Ming Dynasties Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu Sifang Divine Beast Stone Carvings. "Cultural linkage" not only enriches the leisure and cultural life of citizens, but also adds impetus to the establishment of a gridded Bashu cultural system in the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle.

The third unit, "Songsheng Tiger Howl", mainly exhibits the works of the famous tiger painters Zhang Shanxiao and Yan Songfu. Tiger painting is one of the important subjects of traditional Chinese painting. Pay attention to "the shape is prepared and the charm is complete", and there is an ancient proverb that "drawing a tiger is not an anti-dog" to imply the difficulty of drawing a tiger. As a famous modern tiger painter, Yan Song's father came to Jiangjin during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and created a large number of Chinese paintings with tigers as the theme in his later years, which were deeply loved by people. Marshal Chen Yi once wrote a poem praising: "Father Song draws a tiger to draw its god, which can make the real tiger paper go up."
