Qilu Evening News Qilu one-point reporter learned that this exhibition exhibited a total of 61 pieces of exquisite gold and silver utensils that reflect the humanistic customs and aesthetics of Datang, and the exhibition will last until April 20, and citizens can enter the museum with ID cards and health codes.
After the intensive exhibition work of the staff, the "Prosperous Fashion - Datang Gold and Silverware Treasure Exhibition" was exhibited in the exhibition hall on the second floor of the Weifang City Museum, according to reports, the exhibition is divided into four parts: the preciousness of Tang Dynasty gold and silverware, the Tang Dynasty society reflected in gold and silverware, the Tang Dynasty gold and silverware and foreign civilization, and the manufacture and use of gold and silverware for a while, showing the prosperous fashion of Datang in an all-round and three-dimensional way. The treasures on display, originally stored in the Oriental Museum in Guangzhou, are carefully selected gold and silverware from the Tang Dynasty, and are splendid treasures in ancient arts and crafts. There are antique and elegant gilded flower-foot tower-shaped silver furnaces, exquisitely carved flower-shaped silver plates, and thick silver dragons, etc., with a large number and different styles, and the rich content they show in terms of shape, pattern and process technology is incomparable to other material utensils.
Tang Dynasty culture is a landmark cultural phenomenon in the history of Chinese culture. Five thousand years after the Rise and Fall of Chinese civilization, the Tang Dynasty moved towards the heyday of ancient Chinese society. Tang culture is an open world-class culture, which is based on the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture and extensively absorbs the essence of foreign culture, with distinct characteristics of the times and strong national style.
It is understood that gold and silver ware matured and flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and was widely used in practical craft utensils such as eating utensils, drinking utensils, and ornaments. Due to the special material and luxurious appearance, it is both ornamental and practical, and even has multiple values such as monetary attributes. The special texture determined that gold and silverware could only be occupied by a small number of people in society, and became an ornament and important item showing status in the life of princes and nobles, and the gold and silverware of this period represented the highest level of metal craftsmanship at that time.
According to the staff of the museum, this exhibition is open normally at other times except for the 29th day of the Waxing Moon, the first day of the first lunar month, and the second day of the first lunar month, hoping to send a Spring Festival holiday cultural feast to the public through this cultural relics exhibition.
