Song Yun culture is an important part of China's excellent traditional culture, and an important culture with Chinese style and Zhejiang recognition. As an important bearer of Song Yun culture, Shaoxing makes the millennium Song Yun "flow" and "inherit" in the new era, which is the proposition given by the times.
On May 18th, the 46th World Museum Day, an exhibition with the theme of Song Yun culture will kick off at the Shaoxing Museum. Using the elegant "Song" in the cultural relics to interpret the connotation of "the most Song Rhyme in Shaoxing", this is a unique interpretation of the Shaoxing Song Yun culture by the people of Shaoxing Museum.
Excavating "Song Yun" from the museum's collection of cultural relics
"Shaoxing Museum has a total of 792 Song Dynasty cultural relics, including 447 pieces of porcelain, 162 pieces of pottery, 2 pieces of goldware, 12 pieces of silverware, 14 pieces of bronze, 127 pieces of bronze mirrors, 24 pieces of bricks and tiles, 2 pieces of gemstones, and 2 pieces of Song rubbings..." Before deciding to hold this song yun cultural exhibition, He Minglei, director of the Shaoxing Museum, first asked the staff of the collection department to take stock of the family foundation. When these numbers were counted, he felt that he had a bottom in his heart.
"The Southern Song Dynasty was one of the most glorious periods in the history of Shaoxing. Whether it is temperament or genes, Shaoxing is deeply imprinted on the Southern Song Dynasty. He Minglei said that as the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, Shaoxing was the integrator of Song Yun culture. As a museum person, he hopes to be able to organize such an exhibition that analyzes the history of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty, an exhibition that pays tribute to the sages, understands history, and inherits culture through cultural relics.
At the same time, this is the proposition of the times. In 2021, the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee Cultural Work Conference made arrangements to continuously make new breakthroughs in creating a golden business card of Zhejiang's history and culture represented by Song Yun culture, and implement the "Song Yun Culture Inheritance Project". At the municipal party committee cultural work conference held in March this year, Sheng Yuechun, secretary of the municipal party committee, stressed that it is necessary to systematically sort out the context, dig deep into the Song Yun culture, further enhance the status of Shaoxing culture in the Chinese culture and Zhejiang cultural map, and seek breakthroughs and climb the peak in the promotion of history and culture. This year, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Shaoxing being listed by the State Council as one of the first batch of national historical and cultural cities, doing a good job in the article of Song Yun culture is also a contribution of contemporary people to the city.
"In addition to selecting exhibits from our collection, we also borrowed exhibits from the Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, the Shaoxing Library, the Yuecheng District Culture and Tourism Bureau, as well as the cultural and museum units of Various Districts and Counties (Cities) of Shaoxing, such as Keqiao, Shangyu, Zhuji, Shengzhou, Xinchang, and some private collectors in Shaoxing." Shen Fangyuan, deputy director of the exhibition department of Shaoxing Museum, is the curator of this "Elegant Song - The Most Song Yun in Shaoxing".
She said that the exhibition will be divided into 6 units: "Songcheng Charm", "Imperial Tomb Afterglow", "Shengzhi Shenyun", "Mingshi and Rhyme", "Mingwen Qingyun" and "Elegant Rhyme of Wind and Objects", exhibiting more than 200 pieces (groups) of Porcelain, Pottery, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Jade, as well as bricks, seals, coins, inscription rubbings, ancient books and other cultural relics. Among them, there are more than 10 first-class cultural relics, more than 10 second-class cultural relics, and more than 20 third-class cultural relics.
Among these Song Dynasty cultural relics are the three-colored ship-shaped stone drops collected by the Shaoxing Museum. It is a stationery used to drip water into the stone to grind ink, and can also be thought of as a model of a ship. There are two rolling caps in the middle and tail of the deck, with skeletonized railings on either side. The cabin is hollow, and there is a small triangular hole at one end of the ship, with a flat bottom. It is not only exquisitely made, rich in the characteristics of China's Jiangnan water town, and the shape is vivid, integrating practicality and ornamentation, which is a precious image material for understanding the structure of ships at that time.
Also exhibited at the exhibition was the bronze seal of the Southern Song Dynasty "Huiji Kaiguo" collected by the Shengzhou Municipal Cultural Relics Administration Office, which was excavated in 1989 in the village of Dayansaka in the then Haoshi Township of Shengxian County. According to historical records: Wang Menglong, during the Southern Song Dynasty, served as the Dali Temple Attendant, The Inspector of the Imperial History, and the Soldier Attendant, and the Founding Uncle of the Fenghui. that
The tomb is in present-day Ganlin Town, Shengzhou City, Shidaodi Village, Huangshadu Natural Village, North Wang Tomb Mountain. The place where the two seals of "Huiji Kaiguo" and "Huiji Kaiguo Wangfu" were unearthed is only one kilometer away from Wang Tomb Mountain, and should be used by the Wang Menglong family.
Other exhibited cultures include the blue glazed engraved porcelain powder box collected by the Zhuji City Museum, the jade accessories of the Southern Song Dynasty collected by the Xinchang Museum, the Wang Gang inscription rubbings collected by the Cultural and Guangdong Tourism Bureau of Yuecheng District, and the city bricks and tower bricks collected by private collectors Fang Yuming and Zhang Ligang.
Immovable artifacts "moved" progress hall
"During the Song Jiading period, the prefect Wang Gang re-added the rule of Shaoxing City, and repaired the gates, improving the construction of the box squares, the layout of the streets, and the distribution of rivers and canals in the city, until the Republic of China, there was no major change. Today's Shaoxing is a veritable 'Song City'. He Minglei believes that compared with the movable cultural relics in those collections, Shaoxing City itself is an immovable huge cultural relic. Therefore, the opening chapter of this exhibition is "Song City Charm".
So, how to "move" such immovable cultural relics to the progress hall and show them in front of the audience? "We intend to use the form of a sand table to show the general appearance of the city of Shaoxing Province in the Song Dynasty, including the city wall gate, the setting of the box in the city, and the main river system." Shen Fangyuan said that combined with the digital effect of light and dark flickering on the sand table, the audience can have a very intuitive impression of Shaoxing City in the Song Dynasty.
Through this sand table to compare the current Shaoxing ancient city, the audience can not only find the place names left over from the Song Dynasty such as Dongdachi, Wuxunfang, Shuigouying, Cangqiao Zhijie, etc., but also continue to this day such as the Bazi Bridge and The Guangning Bridge, but also feel that today's Shaoxing Ancient City still maintains a clear Southern Song Dynasty pattern in the overall layout, and appreciates the scientific and advanced nature of the Song Dynasty Shaoxing Fucheng In urban planning and construction.
"At the same time, according to the historical records, we will also use the form of sand tables to reproduce the original appearance of the mansions, pavilions and other buildings on the mountain of the Song Dynasty." Shen Fangyuan said that in the Baoqinghui Jizhi, the geographical location of these buildings is recorded in great detail.
The display of the southern Song Dynasty imperial tomb is also a highlight of the exhibition. "We will use electronic maps, video animations and other virtual and real methods to show the majestic weather of the Southern Song Dynasty's imperial tombs." In Shen Fangyuan's view, the Song Liu Mausoleum, as the imperial tomb of the Southern Song Dynasty, is a distinctive and unique feature of shaoxing Song Yun culture, and its status should be comparable to that of the Southern Song Imperial City in Hangzhou.
"Although the Song Liu Tombs have been destroyed many times in history, we hope to show in this exhibition not only the site of the site that has been difficult to find the original appearance after the vicissitudes of the years, but also hope that through modern scientific and technological means, the latest archaeological discoveries and the song dynasty royal mausoleum system recorded in the literature will be combined to reproduce the magnificent and glorious scene of the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum in that year, so that everyone can re-understand its true history, so that the Song Liu Tombs can gain their due status and attention as the imperial tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty." Shen Fangyuan said that the Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology has greatly supported the exhibition, and they have lent nearly 100 cultural relics from the latest archaeological excavations to the exhibition.
For example, the tile components found in the archaeology of the Song LiuLing Tombs. Tile work is a collective name for roofs in ancient Chinese buildings. Tile components include barrel tiles, plate tiles, tiles, sets of animals and other types. The architectural components on the positive ridge, vertical ridge and ridge of the roof tiles of the Song Dynasty can be seen in the snout, dragon's tail, fire beads, animal heads, Jialing Pinga, squat beasts and so on.
There are also stone carved finches found in the tomb of Lan Ruo Temple, fragments of stone hook bars, stone carved lotus pillars, peony pattern stone components, etc. The architecture of lanruo temple cemetery, the stone consumption is huge, there are a variety of stone materials, stone carvings are exquisite, especially the high relief components are the most prominent. The sand table of the Lan Ruo Temple Tomb, as well as the video of the architectural restoration model, show the historical original appearance of these excavated architectural components.
Exhibition of the "rich beauty" of Shaoxing life in the Song Dynasty
It can be said that this is an exhibition where history and cultural relics shine together. History leads us to understand the past, and cultural relics reproduce the glory of the past with a vivid posture, so that modern people can travel through time and space to see the "rich and beautiful" picture of life in Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty.
"During the Two Song Dynasties, Yuezhou was already a rich land. Material abundance makes culture highly prosperous. The Shaoxing people of the Song Dynasty, who had money and leisure, also had a rich spiritual pursuit. He Minglei said that they hope that in this exhibition, the audience can not only see a sense of history, but also feel the smell of fireworks of life.
This kind of pyrotechnic smell is reflected in "Mingshi and Rhyme", "Famous Wen Qing Rhyme" and "Elegant Rhyme of Wind and Things".
In the "Mingshi and Rhyme", there are generations of local scholars, who have mostly started from the imperial examination and continued the prosperity of the family, and the "JiataiHui Zhizhi" lists the du, Shi, Lu and other large families that were the most prosperous eunuchs in Shaoxing at that time; there are also Shouyue officials who benefit the people, such as Fan Zhongyan, Zeng Gong, Xin Zhiyi, Zhu Xi, etc., as well as Yuyue mingxian who love to appreciate mountains and waters, such as Zeng Ji and Li Qingzhao.
Among the "Famous Texts and Qing Rhymes", there are not only Fang Zhi masterpieces such as "Jiatai Hui Ji Zhi", "Jia Lu", "Hui Ji San Fu", as well as poems and anthologies such as "Hui Ji Shu Ying Collection" and "Yue Qing", as well as "Qing Bai Tang Record", "Yue Zhou Zhao Gong Disaster Relief Record", "Shi'er" and other ancient masterpieces.
"Elegant charm of wind and things" is even more abundant. From more brewing, more tea, more porcelain, more paper, more drapery, more salt, more salt, more to more carved, all have been in the world, loved by people. For example, Yue Brew, during the Southern Song Dynasty, it was famous all over the world, and people sometimes had the praise of "the fragrance of the mirror flowing clean, the new urn of the storage of secret colors". Another example is Yue Paper, during the Song Dynasty, the two Zhejiangs have become the national papermaking center, and the papermaking industry in Shaoxing is in a leading position in the two Zhejiangs. At that time, there was a paper bureau in Shaoxing where bamboo was produced, which was responsible for production and tribute.
"These pyrotechnic smells can be expressed one by one with cultural relics." For example, the "Record of the Song Dynasty Salt Repair Wu Han Gongyuan", which we borrowed from the Huiji Jinshi Museum, is an excellent proof of the prevalence of Yue salt in the Song Dynasty. Shen Fangyuan said.
"With its unique spiritual temperament and profound historical heritage, Song Yun culture has shown its enduring vitality, self-confidence and self-improvement creativity." He Junjie, deputy director of the Publicity Department of the Municipal Party Committee and director of the Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, believes that the aesthetic interest and life culture contained in Song Yun culture affect our "yearning for a better life" today. The elegant "Song" in the cultural relics can make the Song Yun culture close to the side, into life, and reflect the reality. "The reason why we want to activate the gene of Shaoxing Southern Song Dynasty culture is because we have found the connection point between Shaoxing and the Southern Song Dynasty today from the aesthetics of life." Take this aesthetics of life as a breakthrough, activate the Southern Song Dynasty cultural genes that have flowed in the blood of Shaoxing for thousands of years, guide people to feel the charm of the Southern Song Dynasty that has flowed endlessly for thousands of years in the process of building a network big city and achieving common prosperity, and then enhance the aesthetic taste, life taste and spiritual pursuit of Shaoxing people at present.
