On April 24th, under the guidance of the Longjiang Town Publicity, Culture, Sports and Tourism Office and the Xiqiao Town Publicity, Culture, Sports and Tourism Office, and jointly planned by the Longshan Community, the Xiqiao Town Cultural Development Center, the Longjiang Town Collection Association and the Xiqiao Collection Association, the "Revisiting the Golden Years" Xiqiao Longjiang Ticket Collection Joint Exhibition was grandly unveiled in the Feihong Museum of Tingyin Lake in Nanhai, Foshan, and the exhibition will last until May 5.
Xiqiao and Longjiang in Shunde, as an important part of Sangyuanwei, the "World Irrigation Engineering Heritage", have witnessed the development of social civilization and Lingnan culture in the Pearl River Delta for thousands of years. The joint exhibition of "Revisiting the Golden Years" Xiqiao Longjiang Ticket Collection is a testimony to the close exchanges and cultural integration between the two places.
More than 5,000 pieces of the collection are exhibited in this group exhibition, with a total of 86 frames, which are mainly divided into two categories: food stamps and tickets. Among them, the theme "Xiqiao Range Rover" lists the past tickets for various scenic spots in Xiqiao Mountain Scenic Area, which not only integrates the scenic spots, but also interprets the poetic conception, and the collection has its own characteristics, making people deeply feel the thick human history of Xiqiao Mountain and the aesthetic style of different periods.
In addition, the series of collections with the theme of "Firewood, Rice, Oil and Salt Memories of Cooking Smoke" and "Cloth Ticket Grand View" show various stamps of life in the early days of the founding of New China, such as grain stamps, edible oil stamps, cloth stamps, etc., which evoke the memories and cultural feelings of several generations of people who lived by eating food and drinking soup with tickets, and prompting the masses to have an in-depth understanding of the development process of the times from material scarcity to abundant food and clothing.
Tickets are precious carriers of history and culture, they are important material evidence for the study of history, and can provide scholars with first-hand information on economic policy, social management, cultural dissemination and other aspects. At the same time, the design and printing technology of the ticket also reflects the level of craftsmanship and aesthetic trends of the time, and has artistic value that cannot be ignored. For collectors, these tickets are not only objects of collection, but also historical documents to study and appreciate.
This group exhibition is not only a cultural feast, but also a profound reflection on the past years. It makes us realize that although the times are changing and society is progressing, the bits and pieces that once accompanied our lives are always worth recalling and cherishing. Through these silent tickets, we seem to hear the echoes of history and feel the pulse of the times. (Li Shaoju, Li Haodong)
