Ancient coins and ancient books read the homeland, and one volume and one scroll show affection.
Among the 7,000 volumes (pieces) of ancient books and other precious cultural relics collected by the Provincial Museum of Nationalities, there are more than 5,000 ancient books, Republic of China documents, and books and materials after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In addition to the huge book category, there are more than 2,000 cultural relics that are also of great historical and cultural value. The more than 2,000 artifacts include a large number of calligraphy and paintings, rubbings, and more than 1,000 coins from a number of different historical periods.
In the specially customized camphor wood cabinet, the layers of drawers seem to seal a dynasty and a history. The moment the drawer is opened, an old smell of camphor wood and Lu Junsong spreads out, and the box of time is opened, the ink green is red, and the picture full of history and stories slowly unfolds...
"Fishing Music Map" leads hundreds of calligraphy and paintings
Part of the long scroll donated by Le Si Ping.
In this batch of calligraphy and paintings, there are more than 260 scroll paintings, more than 100 paintings, and more than 130 fan works. According to Chen Rui, director of the Restoration and Preservation Department of the Provincial Museum of Ethnology, due to the long age and the displacement of cultural relics, most of the calligraphy and paintings have been damaged to varying degrees, and some have even been broken and can no longer be opened for presentation. For example, a painting created by the Qing Dynasty calligrapher Qu Ziye," "Ink and Bamboo Diagram Axis", because of the shortcomings of being easy to crack due to familiarity, has been broken today and is difficult to unfold.
But even so, there are still many fine works in these calligraphy and paintings, which are national first-class cultural relics. Wearing gloves, Chen Rui carefully unfolded a masterpiece - the "Fishing Music Map" painted by Lü Xue in the Qing Dynasty, the reeds swinging with the wind, the children playing by the river, the fishermen fishing in the shallows with fishing baskets, the fishermen who were fishing on the swinging small fishing boats, and the ospreys that landed on the side of the boat... Exquisite painting skills make every leaf and every character in the picture come alive. This 9.2-meter-long and 6.4-meter-long "Fishing Music Map" vividly expresses a "le" character by depicting various labor scenes of people on the riverbank, and the scenery of the water town in Jiangnan in the painting is fascinating.
It is worth mentioning that in the lower left corner of this work, we also see the seal of the collector Mr. Le Si Bing. It is not difficult to see from the number of seals in the collection that this work has not passed through the hands of many collectors. "This painting is too long to hang, so collectors mostly roll it up and save it, which is why it is still so good today." Chen Rui said as he lowered his head to tighten the picture scroll, and he told reporters that the tighter the harvest, the more mold could be avoided.
When the scroll is put away and the silk thread is tied, the "Fudan 74" mark on the roll mouth attracts attention. From this subtle point, it is not difficult to see that Le SiBing is not only engaged in collecting, but he is also extremely attentive to the collection itself. In this way, he recorded the time and place of the collection of the painting, such a small mark seems to have a time-travel connection with the contents of the painting.
Le Si Bing's collection of fan-faced works by Wen Zhengming, a famous calligrapher and painter of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiangnan calligraphy and painting are more tender
"Most of Lelao's calligraphy and paintings are mainly Ming and Qing Dynasty calligraphy and paintings, and the content is mainly in Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Chen Rui said.
A Yuan Dynasty "Hanke Double Bird Diagram" is painted on a golden silk surface, which is quite distinctive that above this work is the inscription of a certain literati and scholar during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty characters above and the Yuan Dynasty paintings below are framed in a vertical axis.
Fan paintings in ancient times had a bit of a "private order" flavor, and it highlighted "personalization" more than the calligraphy and paintings that spread. Ming Dynasty painter Qiu Ying's "Loutai Figures" fan-faced work. Qiu Ying (1482-1559), literal father, number Shizhou, Taicang, Jiangsu, his paintings are generally only titled. His name "Shi Father" wrote the traditional "real" (實) (實), the square -like "mother" part under the head of the treasure cover as "Tian". "From the field to the mother, the author deliberately formed his personal identity for it, and also gave posterity more ways to identify the authenticity of this masterpiece." Chen Rui introduced.
Although Wen Zhengming's fan-surface "Xishan Pavilion Map" has been slightly mottled, the green pines and mountain streams outlined with delicate brushstrokes can still make people feel the elegance of the literati of that era.
Speaking of delicacy, the "Micro Kai Banqiao Poetry Copy" created by Mao Tang, a calligrapher of the Republic of China who specializes in fly-headed Xiao Kai, is all surprising to those who see it. On a 31-centimeter-long, nearly 22-centimeter-wide piece of paper, the author wrote more than 4,000 words at a rough estimate. This calligraphy work is also a national second-class protected cultural relic.
For Professor Le Sibing, who has studied language and writing all his life, collecting rubbings may be both a collection of beauty and a collection of content of historical value. Among the 188 rubbings in the collection, Chen Rui specially selected a rubbing work of the "Lanting Collection Sequence" that many people are familiar with. In the rubbings of more than 15 meters long, several versions of Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Collection Sequence" from different periods are printed, and the creators of the works are closely linked end to end, including the version marked "Chu Suiliang" and the version marked "Fat Plate". The so-called "fat version" refers to the delicate and clear surface of the stone stele itself.

A total of 1,080 kinds of ancient coins and 2,195 coins donated by Le Si Ping to the Provincial Ethnographic Museum. It took the staff half a year to sort out these ancient coins alone.
According to reports, from the pre-Qin to the Qing Dynasty, these more than two thousand ancient coins spanned the history of China for more than two thousand years.
In this batch of ancient coins, there is a set of Wang Mang coins with a relatively complete collection, just like today's currencies, with its own complete system. Koizumi Naoichi, Mizumi 10, Young Spring 20, Nakazumi 30, Zhuangquan 40, Ōizumi 50 from small to large a set of ancient coins, In addition to the 40 shortages of Zhuangquan donated by Le Si Bing, Koizumi Naoichi, 10 Mizumi, 20 Young Springs, Nakazumi 30, and Ōizumi 50 are all donated. In the Wang Mang coin system, the largest denomination and the most exquisite shape are five thousand copper coins with a knife and a knife. The currency as a whole resembles the round-headed key used by people today, with the words "Flat Five Thousand" written on the back and a small amount of gold inlaid with a small amount of gold at the upper end.
In 8 AD, Wang Mang established a new era for Han Dynasty, implemented the New Deal, and carried out a series of currency reforms. Despite the failure of his reforms, the series of coins he issued became the best in the history of ancient money. The currency is marked in a hanging needle seal font and is beautifully made.
In addition, there is the Western Zhou Pingshou flat shoulder pointed foot cloth, which is minted on the copper coin with the local name "Pingyang"; the Warring States Period Yanguo "Ming" character knife copper coin is similar to today's small knife, the hole at the lower end is specially reserved for hanging threads stringed up; Chu State ant nose money, also known as grimace money, carved on the small oval copper coin ghost face pattern... Coins of different periods varied in form, full of whimsy, and also reflected the political and economic concepts of the people at that time.
Through such a batch of precious cultural relics, people can not only understand Mr. Le SiBing's personal collection interests, aesthetics, etc., but also appreciate the home and country feelings of a patriotic literati. Today, these cultural relics are quietly collected in the Five Finger Mountains of Hainan, and their historical significance and cultural value are like the resolute strength of Le Si Bing, infiltrating this land.
