"The golden incense moves the head of the mantis darkly, and the jade pendant sounds high." This is a poem describing the collection of antiques, once popular for antiques, people have taken advantage of the excitement to join, setting off a wave of pursuit.
When it comes to collecting, we have to mention Wang Shixiang, who once commented that "China in the 21st century will have another Qianzhong book, but Wang Shixiang will never be able to produce it again." This shows Wang Shixiang's position in the antique industry and his contribution in this field.
Even if the tide of antiques recedes, Wang Shixiang's name will not be forgotten.
The family laid a good foundation for Wang Shixiang to become a cultural relic, and Wang Shixiang's father liked to visit antique shops after work and buy some porcelain fragments for himself to play with.
When he was a child, Wang Shixiang spent his time studying scriptures and poetry in a private school, and this learning environment made him have a strong interest in poetry and became a child of partial discipline. Even if he later spoke a fluent foreign language because of his father, his favorite was still poetry, and he was always fascinated by it.
Wang Shixiang once laughed at himself: "Playthings have lost their minds, and karma is absurd." In college, he made the move to bring crickets into the classroom, and finally was invited out of the class by the teacher with the crickets. However, such a student who made all the teachers feel that he was "not doing his job" later did a big job.
Wang Shixiang's play, in the eyes of outsiders, is not a proper job, he can play anything and play anything, and in these games he also plays his own doorway.
Through these plays on mundane things, Wang Shixiang gradually played out of the doorway, and also specialized in the history of these things, recording these knowledge and becoming his own accumulation.
Although Wang Shixiang is seriously partial to subjects and prefers mundane things, this also shows his excellence from the side, because even such a seemingly problematic child is still admitted to Yenching University.
In the gradual exploration, Wang Shixiang gradually revealed his uniqueness in cultural relics, which may have provided him with a precedent for extensive involvement in mundane affairs, so he also dabbled in cultural relics, sculpture, calligraphy and painting, architecture and other aspects.
When Wang Shixiang was thirty-three years old, he began to pursue cultural relics that had been lost due to war, and perhaps at this time, his heart was firmly imprinted with his concern for cultural relics.
In the process of tracing, he has witnessed the fragmentation of cultural relics and seen the pain of difficult cultural relics, which has given him a long experience and provided help for his achievements in cultural relics. It was this experience that made him understand that cultural relics need to be remembered, which provided impetus for him to compile books later.
In 1947, Wang Shixiang was appointed as the director of the Antiquities Museum of the Palace Museum, and the vast collection of the Forbidden City, precious materials and cultural relics provided Wang Shixiang with sufficient nourishment, allowing him to fully travel in the cultural relics and constantly enrich.
After that, Wang Shixiang taught in other research institutes and schools, and after retirement, he won the "Prince Claus Award's Highest Honor Award". It is his actions that help Chinese cultural relics to be displayed in front of people and go to society, so that the world can see and more people can understand.
Such an honor-like, knowledgeable person, but feel that the biggest advantage they have ever taken in their lives is an 80 yuan to buy rosewood case, why is this?
The exhibit that makes Wang Shixiang the most proud is the one-sided rosewood case, which is widely involved, why does Wang Shixiang, who claims to be everyone, have a special affection for this party rosewood case?
The Rosewood case, as the name suggests, is only a plan, and the case that Wang Shixiang attaches importance to is only from the Qing Dynasty, and Wang Shixiang, who once served in the Palace Museum, should see countless Qing Dynasty things, and what is so special about this plan.
This rosewood case was inadvertently bought by Wang Shixiang in the antique market, and when he bought it, he may have attracted the golden rosewood, but what really made Wang Shixiang value was the content behind the rosewood case.
On the side of the case, Wang Shixiang saw Pu Dong's inscription, who is Pu Dong?
Pu Dongbei red bean restaurant owner, one of the "four princes of the Republic of China", is Qianlong's great-grandson, and what makes him famous is his achievements in opera, he flute, erhu, strings, pipa are all familiar, Shengdan Jingdu ugly is even more handy, and therefore worked as a teacher at Tsinghua University. A prodigy in the history of Chinese opera.
In addition, he is also quite accomplished in antiques, and has a sense of similarity with Wang Shixiang.
In addition to the owner of the rosewood case, which made it more valuable, his other master also had to say that it was Song Meat, who kangxi called "the first inspector of the world".
With the blessing of such two masters, the increase in the value of the rosewood case is obvious.
In addition to Wang Shixiang's vision in antiques, he is also extremely accomplished in other aspects. He has played folklore into daya, and has continuously studied in many fields.
Wang Zengqi's books mostly record food, and always think of delicious food whenever he sees it, and Wang Shixiang is appreciated by Wang Zengqi. Wang Shixiang has many specialties and likes to cook, and every time he does it in Chengdu, he is unanimously praised, and he has been invited to serve as a consultant for the food appreciation meeting, which shows that Wang Shixiang has a deep achievement in gastronomy.
In addition to food, Wang Shixiang often composed poetry, when he was a child, he was partial to science, loved poetry, laid a good foundation for him, in the process of studying cultural relics, he still did not put down poetry.
"Holding your head high as a flower, vowing to tie the knot and fruitful son" is a poem once made by Wang Shixiang, the poem is neat and neat, straight to the chest, and also expresses his attitude towards life. He has published more than twenty books, which shows the depth of his literary attainments.
A famous scholar often draws on the strengths of others, constantly absorbs other knowledge to enrich himself, and adds new vitality to his own work, and this spirit is rare and it is this spirit that helps Wang Shixiang's literary knowledge.
Wang Shixiang can be said to be full of peach and plum all over the world, his students are also all over the world, Wang Shixiang's enterprising spirit has also influenced generations of students. For Wang Shixiang, cultural relics are just the beginning, more is the culture hidden behind the cultural relics, and these are also left behind after the big waves.
Nowadays, antiques have gradually become niche entertainment, but antique culture has become a popularity of the public, and the development of cultural undertakings has made more people want to understand antiquities culture and learn antiquities culture, and Mr. Wang Shixiang's works for antiques have also become a reference for research.
The reason why cultural relics are precious is because they have undergone the screening of history, and the reason why culture has a long history is also because it has been protected and cherished for a long time in the long river of history.
Wang Shixiang is one of these cultural protection and protection, no matter how long it has been, as long as the cultural relics are still there and the culture is still there, someone will always remember them.
