With the broadcast of CCTV's "National Treasure" program, the museum, which was once a small number of tourists, became a punching place for many tourists for a while. According to statistics, as of now, 204 museums in China have ranked among the ranks of national first-class museums, and these top museums are undoubtedly the most worth visiting, after all, there are many national treasure-level cultural relics.
Among the 204 top museums, there is one museum that surprised me, it is the Shandong Qingzhou Museum, as China's first county-level museum, it has too many praiseworthy places, and it also witnesses the thick culture of Qingzhou.
So why can the Qingzhou Museum, which has a collection of only 20,000 pieces, become the top museum in China? In my opinion, the following three cultural relics can be described as indispensable, which has played a role in adding bricks and tiles to the Qingzhou Museum.
Paragraph 1: Eastern Han Dynasty "Yi Descendants" Yubi
The "Yi Descendants" jade bi hidden in the history exhibition area of the Qingzhou Museum does not look conspicuous and does not make a special introduction to it, but as a superb masterpiece of Chinese Han Dynasty jade, it has also become one of the treasures of the Qingzhou Museum.
This "Yi Descendants" jade bi was unearthed in the Majiazuka Zi Eastern Han Tomb, the entire jade bi is made of white jade material, with ink color, this jade material is very rare.
If you look closely, you can find the three words of the carved seal book "Yi Descendants" in the middle of the button, which means "descendants and grandchildren Yi Room IKEA", which is the auspicious language of the time, and the vivid double dragon relief shows the Chinese style.
Paragraph 2: Ming Zhuangyuan Zhao BingzhongDian Examination Paper
Like the "Yi Descendants" Yubi, this cultural relic is also not too remarkable, but after understanding it, it is found that this cultural relic is really too special.
Why does it show that the Zhao Bingzhongdian examination paper is very special? Then you may wish to first look at the provenance of this cultural relic, Zhao Bingzhong, a candidate in the twenty-sixth year of the Ming Wanli Calendar, used pertinent language in the examination paper of the temple to deeply analyze the social contradictions at that time, and pointed out a series of countermeasures.
The cultural relics we see in front of our eyes are the examination papers of Zhao Bingzhong's temple examination at that time, because such a Ming Dynasty examination paper is the only case in China, and it has successfully become one of the treasures of the Qingzhou Museum.
Paragraph 3: Statue of Buddha at Longxing Temple
If there is any cultural relic in the Qingzhou Museum that surprises me the most, then it must be the Buddha statue of Longxing Temple. Back in 1996, the Buddhist statues unearthed at the site of Longxing Temple in Qingzhou caused an uproar in the Chinese archaeological community, and these more than 400 statues spanned 500 years from the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Northern Qi to the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties.
In addition to the abundance, these Buddha statues are of great value and are an excellent place to appreciate the ancient Chinese statue art. In terms of form, these statues include Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat, Flying Heaven, Offerings and other themes; in terms of techniques, they include relief carving, carving, line carving, gold pasting and many other techniques; in addition to limestone and Han white jade, they also contain granite, pottery, iron, wood and clay sculptures.
More than 400 statues may not be seen at one time, if you want to appreciate the charm of these Qingzhou Buddha statues in a short time, then you can focus on the following:
About 2 meters high, the Eastern Wei Dynasty gold painted stone statue of the Bodhisattva, with a uniform posture, a slender figure, a crown of gold on the head, shining, and a pleated long skirt with red, blue and green colors, looks very beautiful.
The 90-centimeter-high Northern Qi painted stone statue of Si Wei Bodhisattva is rounded in appearance and has erlang's legs upturned; the gold-rimmed green colored treasure is very exquisite; and the flying dragon relief under the seat is vivid.
The 113 cm tall Northern Qi painted stone statue of Buddha, with a low bun, a threaded surface, a smile on the mouth, and a smile just right to make people look very peaceful. The shoulder-length robe uses the yin line engraving method to outline simple but exquisite clothing.
In addition, statues such as the Seated Buddha statue of the Northern Qi Dynasty painted gold painting, the Statue of the Left Wei Servant Bodhisattva in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the Statue of Maitreya made by Han Xiaohua are also not to be missed.
