China has a long history of 5,000 years and is a veritable big country in the world. During the Tang Dynasty, the mainland was at its peak, and the surrounding countries called the mainland the Heavenly Dynasty. From ancient times to the present, the cultural relics unearthed from the mainland have witnessed the ancient history of the mainland.
From the oracle bones of the Yin Shang period to the bronzes of the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, and then to the Tang Sancai of the Tang Dynasty and the blue and white porcelain of the Qing Dynasty,
Each piece is a testimony to the glorious position of the mainland in history.
However, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the mainland's national strength was weakened, and the great powers of various countries continued to erode the mainland, and in that period of gray history, the mainland lost not only land, but also the cultural relics that contained the history of China for five thousand years.
Jade Amber of the Han Dynasty, Bronze Elephant Statue of Yin Shang, Xiaoxiang Lying Tour of the Southern Song Dynasty
and a series of other precious cultural relics are all
Lost in the late Qing Dynasty, it now appears in foreign museums.
183 treasures were given to others free of charge
The treasures of the millennium are scattered outside, and the people of the country all sigh with their wrists. If these cultural relics were stolen by foreign powers, then we may be full of anger and never forget this shame. However, what makes countless Chinese people ashamed is that there is
People have given away the cultural relics and national treasures of the mainland to others, and have been rejected when the motherland has repeatedly bought them back.
It really makes my Chinese sons and daughters ashamed to mention this matter.
Ongwango,
The name may not have made a big impression, perhaps because he left China very early. In 1937, the Anti-Japanese War broke out, and Weng Wange went to the United States to study the following year. And the most memorable thing about him is probably what he shot
Chinese Buddhism
This film is it.
It is such a person who is committed to spreading Chinese culture to the Western world, but on his 100th birthday,
Donated 183 artifacts to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, USA
, which included his grandfather's favorites
"Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River".
This "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River" painted by the Qing Dynasty painter Wang Yi is not only the favorite of Weng Wange's grandfather, but also Weng Wange himself regards life.
After the prosperity of the family, they chose to give their own cultural relics to other countries
If Onwango had been just an ordinary person, perhaps he would not have owned so many artifacts at all. Ongwango was ordinary, but his ancestors were very unusual.
Weng Wange's grandfather was None other than Weng Tonggong, the teacher of the two emperors of Tongzhi and Guangxu.
Weng Tonggong was very famous in politics and calligraphy, and as an imperial teacher who had gone through two generations of emperors, the power and status of Weng Tonggong, a heavy minister in the late Qing Dynasty, could be described as one person under ten thousand people.
Under the shadow of the ancestors, the Weng family could be said to be the most prosperous home at that time. The amount of artifacts and treasures left behind is imaginable. When Onwango went to sea for refuge, it was natural to bring these cultural relics with him.
Among these cultural relics, paintings, calligraphy, embroidery and rubbings are national treasures with a long history.
Artifacts in this one
It contains treasures from various periods of the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties
From these cultural relics, it is enough to glimpse the breadth and depth of the ancient culture of the mainland.
It is these artifacts that each of can be called national treasures,
But its owners were given to the foreign invaders.
In love, Weng Wenge is the master of these cultural relics, and we have no right to interfere in the disposal of these cultural relics, but as sons and daughters of China, even if we want to dispose of these cultural relics, should we not take our motherland as the first choice?
It is reasonable that Weng Wenge should not donate mainland cultural relics to museums in other countries. If Weng Wenge just wants to find a guarantee for cultural relics, then China should be his first choice, and China in 2018 has greatly improved both economically and militarily compared with the late Qing Dynasty.
If we want to find a reliance on those cultural relics, the mainland already has the ability to protect these cultural relics.
However, Weng Wenge's series of behaviors have made the Chinese people puzzled, if they ask for money, Weng Wenge gave all 183 cultural relics to the museum in Boston, USA free of charge.
When the motherland expressed its hope that these artifacts could be repurchased, it was also rejected by Weng Wenge.
And before Ongwenge donated the 183 artifacts to the museum of foreign countries free of charge, he had already been there
More than 20 cultural relics have been donated.
The soul of culture will live on forever
Especially remember
A variety show "National Treasure" broadcast in 2018
, a national treasure guarded by Huang Bo and Wang Jia in this show
The whole thing is in the sky
Memorable. Cast in the late Shang Dynasty, this vessel is one of the types of wine vessels and is the most exquisite vessel ever unearthed.
Later generations called it "the king of Fang
"。 However, such a valuable treasure is scattered in different places for some reasons. Finally, with the efforts of many parties,
In 2014, the body and lid of the Vessel Tianquan Fangmu were reunited in Changsha, China.
All things have animism, and there is a saying in China
The soul returns to its hometown, and the fallen leaves return to the roots.
Whether it is a person or a cultural relic, it is only meaningful to return to your own home after all. Donating or selling those artifacts is tantamount to giving away one's own children. A hundred years later, the cultural relics of the mainland can only be admired in a foreign country, which is not only the face of China, but also the soul of China's far-reaching culture.
How deep a country's historical roots are depends on the historical significance of a country's cultural relics.
Cultural relics are the footprints left behind when a country travels in the long river of history, the crystallization of human wisdom left over from that exclusive period, and the outline of the history and culture that have traveled before.
As a product of an era, its historical value is its primary value. As the crystallization of the wisdom of an era, what it presents is related to the politics, economy and culture of the society at that time.
As cultural relics of the mainland's cultural and historical carriers, they all bear the imprint of the development of China over the past five thousand years.
And those cultural relics that have been scattered outside have witnessed China's ups and downs and tribulations in that era of gunfire.
For those national treasures that have been lost abroad are also China's children, no matter when, no matter where it is lost, China will definitely get it back.
As the owner of those 183 artifacts, We have no right to evaluate Wengo's actions, nor do we have any position to accuse him of anything. But we are also very sad about the national treasures that have been lost.
I once read a book about antique stories, the dark color "Dumb House". A passage written by Xuan Se in the introduction to the second part is memorable, he said
"The antiquities in the dumb house, each with its own story, carried for many years, no one listened."
The mainland has always had the rumor that "antiquities have spirits" circulating in the folk, and the longer it lasts, the more awe-inspiring it becomes. I thought, if antiquities really have a spirit. It probably wants to stay in its homeland and wait silently for its own relatives.
