"Sheng Shi Fanghua - Shanghai Museum Donated Cultural Relics Exhibition" is a rather special exhibition. Only half a day after the opening, the Shanghai Museum was temporarily closed due to the implementation of epidemic prevention and control requirements. Since it cannot be experienced in the field, Shangbo launched the "Cloud View Exhibition", which was personally guided by the curator Yang Zhigang.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Shanghai Museum. The development of 70 years is inseparable from the righteous deeds and love of countless donors. The holding of "Sheng Shi Fanghua - Shanghai Museum Donated Cultural Relics Exhibition" is not only to display the value of cultural relics and reveal the moving story between donors and Shangbo, but also to express high respect to all donors, cultural and cultural workers and people from all walks of life who care about and support the development of Shangbo.
The exhibition brings together 195 donated cultural relics, covering calligraphy and painting, bronze, jade, seals, bamboo carvings, sculptures, ceramics, coins and other categories. Among these exhibits, which were repeatedly selected and exhibited, Yang Zhigang detailed the stories behind the 20 cultural relics, such as Wang Anshi's "Xingshu Leng YanJing Essential Volume". It is reported that this was written a year before Wang Anshi's death, when he had retired to Jinling Zhongshan, personally proofread the text of the "Leng Yan Jing" scriptures, and left this volume. The strokes of the dragon flying phoenix dance are still amazing. The cultural relics were donated by Wang Nanping and Fang Shuyan in 1985.
Generation after generation of Shangbo people hope to enjoy the treasures donated with the world through the way of holding exhibitions, and to commend and commemorate countless selfless donors such as Wang Nanping and Fang Shuyan. By the end of 2021, the Shanghai Museum has more than 1.02 million cultural relics in its collection, of which more than 88,000 are donated by people from all walks of life, accounting for about 8.6% of the total collection of cultural relics. So far, the number of donors to the Shanghai Museum has exceeded 800, more than 120 collective donations, and more than 1,200 batches of cultural relics have been donated. This is also the "three more and one highest" of the Shanghai Museum, that is, the largest number of donated cultural relics, the largest number of donors, the largest number of donation categories, and the highest level of donated cultural relics.
In addition to this special online exhibition, the Shanghai Museum also launched the "Cloud Viewing Exhibition" feature, which includes 22 online exhibitions, 70 academic lectures, 2 original video programs, 10 creative handicraft tutorials and 5 barrier-free guides for special groups, using technology to present the story of cultural relics, so that the audience in front of the screen can understand the cultural relics more intuitively and comprehensively.
It is worth mentioning that the Shanghai Museum has also specially opened a "Ask on the Bo" collection page for all friends who care about museums and cultural relics, so that the public can "ask" what they want, and the Expo has professionals answering, thus forming a dry content community.
