Mr. Lao She once said in "Teahouse": "The culture of a city depends on its history and its museums. This is very apt for the Henan Museum.
"If you don't enter the Henan Museum, you don't know that it will be up and down for 5,000 years. On the afternoon of April 25, Wang Meng, a famous writer, librarian of the Central Research Institute of Culture and History, and former Minister of Culture, came to the Henan Museum to gain an in-depth understanding of the Central Plains culture.
Henan, this ancient and mysterious land, has given birth to a rich Central Plains culture. Henan Museum, as the culmination of the Central Plains culture, has collected tens of thousands of precious cultural relics, and is an excellent place to understand the history and culture of Henan.
During the nearly two-hour visit, Wang Meng and his entourage started from the 8,000-year-old bone flute unearthed from the Jiahu site, to the Duling Fangding unearthed from the Zhengzhou Mall site, and then to the jade-handled iron sword and other artifacts unearthed from the Sanmenxia Yuguo cemetery. Wang Meng watched the exhibition and listened to the docent's detailed introduction to the cultural relics. Looking at the collection one by one, Wang Meng was extremely serious and focused, listened to the explanation and had in-depth exchanges with the staff, approached the collection from time to time to watch carefully, asked the staff about the details, and smiled with satisfaction from time to time.
90-year-old Wang Meng is in good spirits, humorous and humorous has not changed at all, seeing that the bronze mirror of the Tang Dynasty is much larger than the previous dynasty, Wang Meng said with a smile: "Will it have something to do with the Tang people's fat as beauty." Seeing Tang Sancai, he said: "How good this color is, this is not exactly a painting, the glaze is naturally flowing down, unintentionally natural." ”
In the understanding of the treasure of the Henan Museum in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, the bronze moire copper ban, was found scattered all over the ground, unrecognizable, at present, this layer upon layer of hollow moire, 12 dragon-shaped beasts are alive and circling around, is the staff lasted three years, after a series of processes such as shaping and reinforcement, and finally replayed the brilliance, and the moire copper ban is still the earliest lost wax process casting in China currently seen, he sighed "It's amazing".
From Yangshao culture igniting the first dawn of Chinese civilization, to unveiling the mystery of the Kingdom Age at the site of Erlitou in the summer capital, from the echo of the Jiahu bone flute spanning 8,000 years, to the peak of the Bronze Age witnessed by the Female Owl...... Wang Meng asked as he walked, praising the Henan Museum that there were indeed too many cultural relics, and they couldn't be put down.
Wang Meng is a well-known contemporary Chinese writer who was awarded the national honorary title of "People's Artist" in 2019. Since the creation of "Long Live Youth" in 1953, in 70 years, he has published more than 20 million words of works, which have been translated into more than 30 languages and published overseas.
Today, Wang Meng is still reading, still writing, and new novels have been published in literary journals, and he also has his own fresh understanding of new things such as ChatGPT. He said: "My mood in writing now is to do my best, to make the most of my clumsy work, and to change the law and seek innovation, and even pursue a kind of extreme writing."
