Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 13 -- Yun's sideburns are pearls, and Li He Wanfang. Cultural relics not only tell the history, but also contain the rich emotions of Chinese civilization. When cultural relics travel through thousands of years and collide with contemporary trends, what kind of sparks will burst out? On the eve of International Museum Day, let's go to the National Museum of China to see it.
"Archaeology + Food play", feel the history in the experience
Square, square mouth, large rim, curly horn sheep head and sheep neck protruding from the shoulders of the four corners, the sheep body and leg of lamb are attached to the fangzun abdomen and circle feet, which is the largest four sheep fangzun in the existing Shang Dynasty bronze fangzun in the mainland.
The surface is covered with slender cloud thunder patterns, the neck is decorated with banana leaf patterns, triangle patterns and animal face patterns, and the four corners and four central lines are covered with ribs to cover the casting marks, which are known as a model of bronze ware at a glance.
However, before the Four Sheep Fangzun entered the Tibetan Museum, his fate was very bumpy. Liao Fei, deputy director of the Business Development Department of the National Museum of China and general manager of Guobo (Beijing) Food Culture Co., Ltd., introduced that in the spring of 1938, The Four Sheep Fangzun was excavated in yueshan Puerer'erlun Mountain Village, Huangcai Town, Ningxiang City, Hunan Province, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and Fang Zun failed to be saved in the war. During an air raid, a bomb exploded not far from Fang Zun, blowing it to pieces. It was not until 1952, after more than two months of restoration, that the national treasure was revived, and the magnificent figure of more than 3,000 years ago was restored to the world.
"How to make the Four Sheep Fangzun 'alive' and let more young people approach it and understand it?" In March this year, the National Museum of China launched the Siyang Fangzun Archaeological Chocolate, which focuses on "archaeology + food and play", integrating cultural relics elements into modern product design.
Put on disposable gloves, use a small shovel to dig out the "dirt" made of biscuits in the box, and the four sheep fangzun made of chocolate slowly reveal their true faces..." Feel the beautiful meaning of cultural relics in the fun, and unconsciously appreciate the charm of traditional Chinese culture, this creative way resonates with young people. Liao Fei said.
"The four seas are peaceful, the times are prosperous", cultural creativity leads the national trend
Inside the National Museum of China, there is a piece of porcelain called "Qianlong Ji Lapis Lazun Cai Haiyan River Qingzun". Between the shoulders and necks are carved a pair of white wings-spreading scissor-tailed swallows, the body is based on a blue glaze, and the gold painted banana leaves, tangled flowers, pastel lotus patterns, beads and other ornaments appear orderly and solemn.
The reason why Haiyan River Qingzun is precious is also because it is a rare palace treasure. In the Yuanmingyuan, there is a "Haiyan Hall", which is intended to pray for the peace of the world and the peace of the country. Haiyan He Qingzun was once placed in it, praying for "He Qing Hai Yan, Shi He Shi Feng".
Despite its allegorical meaning of peace and tranquility, Haiyan He Qingzun has witnessed a century of humiliation in modern China. Zhu Xiaoyun, deputy director of the Operation and Development Department of the National Museum of China and general manager of Guobo (Beijing) Cultural Industry Development Co., Ltd., introduced that when the Yuanmingyuan was burned by the British and French troops, Haiyan Hall was reduced to ruins, but this Haiyan River Qingzun was miraculously preserved.
"The historical story behind the Qingzun of Haiyan River is worth remembering, and China's traditional culture since ancient times is also worth inheriting." Zhu Xiaoyun introduced that in recent years, the National Museum of China has strived for the collision of traditional aesthetics and contemporary life elements in terms of cultural creation, and the Haiyan River Qingzun created on the basis of Haiyan River Qingzun is decorated with agate jadeite, handmade, and the universal axis technique of tang dynasty sachets is reproduced inside. Young people wear it on their bodies or hang on the car, shake it step by step, and make it fragrant step by step.
"Haiyan River Qingzun is intertwined with China's unique and elegant incense culture, and integrates the universal axis technique of ancient sachets into cultural and creative products, which not only has a unique appearance, but also contains the beauty of peace and peace in the four seas, and the collision of cultural relics and cultures meets the needs of young people and is deeply loved." Zhu Xiaoyun said.
"Carved Bone Storm Bottle", through time and space even ancient and modern
The ancients used to count animal bones and turtle shells. In the collection of the National Museum of China, there is a broken ox shoulder blade, the front and back sides are engraved with long words, the words are painted with Zhu, and one of the words has a complete program of Shang oracle bone words, that is, the former words, the life words, the divination words and the examination words, which is really rare.
"Oracle is the earliest surviving Chinese script, retaining the childish atmosphere of the ancients." Zhu Xiaoyun introduced that the remaining more than 180 words of this "Bu bone" are the basis for our study of the geography, Fang state and military system of the Shang Dynasty, which can make up for the lack of historical records, and can be called "the king of oracle bones".
"A museum is a materialized history of development, and cultural creation provides new ideas for history to enter public life." In the Tmall flagship store of the National Museum of China, there is a weather bottle engraved with oracle bones, which is small and novel, and has a lot of attention. Its shape extracts the outline of the oracle bone shape, restores the ancient charm of the millennium, extracts the oracle bone ornament on both sides of the bottle, and the majestic and atmospheric oracle bone is restored and presented in the form of gold painting paper, as if traveling through time and space.
Zhu Xiaoyun introduced that the production principle of Oracle weather bottle is to inject distilled water, alcohol, ammonium nitrate, potassium chloride and camphor into the glass bottle, and changes in the external temperature and humidity will cause crystalline changes in the material in the bottle, thus showing different states to show the weather conditions.
"With cultural creation 'hi' up, drive cultural relics to 'live'." In the future, the National Museum of China will continue to use the collection resources as the basis to help the cultural and creative development of China's museums, integrate and revitalize excellent cultural resources, disseminate Chinese culture to the world, and tell Chinese stories well. Zhu Xiaoyun said.
