【Highlights】
Wu WangFu Cha Luo, a gift from 2500 years ago
The hollowed-out beams cast by the lost wax method are gorgeous and delicate; the cover surface and the belly of the vessel use the popular impression technology of the time, and are covered with fine dragons intertwined with crab patterns... This bronze vessel, which has a somewhat similar appearance to today's kettle, is the Wu Wangfu Chaluo.

The first owner of the "Wu Wang Fu Cha Lu" may have been a great beauty. On the shoulder of the cup there is an inscription of 12 characters "吳王夫差吳金鑄女之器吉", in other words, Wu Wang Fu cha cast this bronze cup for a woman.
Fu Cha reigned for only twenty-three years and was one of the famous Spring and Autumn Five. He is known in the annals of history for his bravery and warlikeness, and most of the surviving relics are weapons such as swords and spears and jian. So far, this "Wu Wang Fu Cha Luo" is the only bronze wine vessel closely related to him.
In 1996, this bronze cup cast by Wu Wang for a woman appeared in the Hong Kong cultural relics market and was discovered by the famous bronze ware scientist Ma Chengyuan, who bought it back and donated it to the Shanghai Museum.
A year before his death, Wang Anshi wrote the "Xingshu Leng Yan Jing Essential Volume"
"Yu Gui Zhong Shan, Daoyuan False Leng Yan Ben, Hand Self-Correction, Carved Temple, Shi Yuanfeng 8 April 11 Linchuan Wang An Shi First Letter of Honor." The Light Ink Disease Book, the clear strokes of the "Xingshu Lengyan Jing Essential Volume", the content is excerpted from the "Guan Shi Yin Fa Miao Ermen" section of the "Leng Yan Jing". On the long scroll, there is a line in the middle of the main book, although the line is close, there is little blankness, but there is no sense of confusion.

The eighth year of YuanFeng (1085) was the year before Wang Anshi's death. In this year, he had already retired to Jinling Zhongshan, personally proofread the text of the "Leng Yan Jing" scriptures, and left this volume.
After the volume, there are inscriptions by the Southern Song Dynasty Mou Xianzhi, Yuan Wang Meng, Ming Xiang Yuan Bian and others, and Yuan Chen Weiyin, Ming Xiang Yuan Bian, Qing Anqi, Cao Rong and others have all collected. In 1985, Wang Nanping and Fang Shuyan gave it to Shangbo.
Orphaned! "Lindai Wenjin Xie Andongshan Chart Axis" has a unique style
"LinDai Wenjin Xie Andongshan Diagram Axis" was composed by Shen Friday when he was fourteen years old, and copied the "Xie Andongshan Map" by Dai Jin, a famous painter of the Zhejiang School who preceded him. There is an idiom "comeback in the mountains", and in this picture, it depicts the scene of Xie An, the famous prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, living in seclusion in Dongshan, traveling with prostitutes and indulging in the landscape.

Shen Zhou's landscape paintings, learning from Huang Gongwang and Wu Zhen in the Yuan Dynasty, go back to the five dynasties of Dong Yuan and Juran, but Dai Jin's painting style is more similar to that of Ma Yuan and Xia Gui of the Southern Song Dynasty. Stylistically, Shen Zhou is a tradition of southern landscape and ink painting, while Dai Jin is a tradition of painting northern landscapes and courts. Shen Zhou's paintings imitate Yuanren, and the style of this painting is both a lonely piece and a strange work in his works, which is unique. The painting was donated by Weng Wange and entered the Tibetan Shangbo in 2019.
