Recently went to Shijiazhuang, found a refreshing place to go - Hebei Museum.
Just stepped into the provincial museum square, was really surprised: hundreds of pigeons on the square in the leisurely circling, strolling! I was pleased to carefully approach them, but they are not afraid, but around my feet cooing, around and around, very cute. This is the first time such a close contact with the square pigeon, in the past in the movie and television works in Europe and the United States envied the city square pigeons up and down the scene, actually appeared in front of us. Walking in the pigeon group, let a person really feel the peace and happiness of the city, but also to experience the joy of living in harmony with all things.
I remember reading a report: a well-known artist to the mood, will be specially flying to London in first class, in the square to feed the pigeons for an afternoon, not overnight, that is, take the plane back. The first-class solemn and feed the pigeons of the casual, complete interpretation of what is called economic freedom, the life of the heart.
At this point, of course, I can also romantic fashion to feed pigeons, but the hot weather, how to allow such a pleasure?
We only stayed in the square for a few moments, and then went straight to the museum to feel the coolness of the central air-conditioning and the depth of the history of Yanzhao.
The first time to the province's museum, or full of pride. The Hebei Museum's collection is said to have 150,000 pieces, but we came prepared by doing our homework in advance, and the goal was Liu Sheng's gold and jade coats. Liu Sheng is the king of Zhongshan Jing who Liu Bei always talked about "after the king of Zhongshan Jing". The gold and jade coat is the highest scale of the Han Dynasty funeral mortuary clothing, has been unearthed in the gold and jade coat, the earliest age, the most exquisite workmanship, the most representative is the King of Zhongshan Jing Liu Sheng and his wife Dou Dou's two pieces of it, they have been two thousand years of history. Liu Sheng's jade coat, 1.88 meters long, made in proportion to the human body structure, divided into hood, blouse, gloves, pants and shoes in five parts, *** with 2,498 pieces of jade, more than 1,100 grams of gold wire, the use of the gold wire is generally 4-5 centimeters long, the finest gold wire is only 0.08 millimeters in diameter. The whole piece of jade clothes, exquisite design, fine workmanship, seamless fit, amazing, reflecting the outstanding skills of the clothing craftsmen as well as princes and lords of the extravagant life, is a rare art treasures.
Extravagant royalty, superstitious "jade can chill the body", in order to make their corpses immortal, they use expensive jade clothing for convergence of clothing, and the use of the nine orifices of the device to plug its nine orifices, can be described as exhaustive efforts. But two thousand years later, praying for "golden body invincibility" of the tomb owner has been turned into a handful of dirt, what remains is this exquisite jade clothes. Interestingly, among all the unearthed jade clothes, only Liu Sheng's abdomen is slightly bulging, indicating that it is completely tailored according to Liu Sheng's body type, which means that Liu Sheng is a fat man with a big belly. According to historical records, Liu Sheng was 53 years old when he died and reigned for 43 years. He believed that a vassal king should listen to music every day and enjoy singing, dancing and beautiful women, Liu Sheng was fond of wine and sex, and had countless wives and concubines, and his sons gave birth to more than 120 sons, which is said to be the most sons in the history of the people. Historical records show that the cost of making such a gold and jade coat was almost equal to the sum of one hundred medium-sized families at that time, and the cultural relics unearthed in the tomb of Liu Sheng and his wife **** more than 6,000 pieces, each of which is exquisite and shocking to the world. Spread on such a life after the extremely luxurious defeat ancestors, Liu Bei early years of displacement, reduced to sell straw shoes for a living is not surprising.
Another national treasure of cultural relics is the Changxin Palace Lantern, which was first known to be on the 2009 Hebei provincial secondary school exam language paper. Changxin Palace Lantern is also unearthed in Liu Sheng's wife Dou ò tomb, according to expert testimony that the Dowager Empress Dou gave Dou ò dowry, the design is really clever, practical, decorative, environmentally friendly in one. But I personally think that it is more practical than artistic, it is far less exquisite than the other pieces of the collection, such as misprinted gold Boshan furnace, misprinted gold and silver tiger devouring deer screen seat, translucent carving of dragons and phoenixes copper pave head, and so on.
One of my favorites is the Yuan blue and white glazed lire red open light appliquéd covered jar, which is the top national treasure of Yuan blue and white, unearthed from the Yuan dynasty cellar of the elementary school on Yonghua South Road in Baoding in 1964. The jar uses a variety of decorative techniques such as painting, openwork carving, and stacking and pasting,*** with 11 layers of decoration. The abdomen is four groups of rhombus-shaped openings, openings within the openings openwork carving four seasons of flowers and rocks, branches and leaves rendered in blue and white, flowers and rocks painted in glaze red. Cyanotype color is rich, glaze red color is pure, blue and red, high craftsmanship, for the Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain masterpieces, known as the king of blue and white reputation. The narrator said that at that time a **** unearthed two, but also the only two in the country, but the other was collected by the Palace Museum, the Palace with a few Cixi used the plate back to the provincial museum. Haha, I can not help but laugh in my heart, the Forbidden City to the provincial museum, the provincial museum is not also to the city museum? This treasure is not Baoding unearthed it? That two million years ago the mammoth ivory fossil is not still Zhangjiakou Yangyuan? What does it matter? As long as it is within the territory of China, it is the same everywhere.
Wandering in the museum, textbook artifacts in a three-dimensional way in front of the eyes, behind each piece of artifacts have a story or even more than one, it traveled through thousands of years to us, time to give them an indelible life, a piece of precious collectibles, cleaned of the former pomp and splendor, precipitation of the history of the heavy and vicissitudes of life, they are such an ancient, tell the story of years of Cruelty, about the rise and fall of a feudal dynasty. The stars have changed, the sun, the moon and the mountains are still magnificent; things are different, the song and dance is long gone. Every piece of cultural relics in front of this, as if the time and space tunnel, linking the past and present, linking the ancient and the present.
Tang Taizong cloud: history as a reference can know the rise and fall. In front of this piece of treasure, in addition to marveling at the hard work and wisdom of the ancients, should not we reflect on something?
The end of the tour, out of the museum, as if through the passage of time and space, and back to reality. The sun is very bright, is a rare sunny day in Shijiazhuang, remembered just to come when the cab driver said: very uncomfortable, this year the haze is much less, the sun is strong, I have been tanned ......
The same time and space, the same thing, different people have different views, after two thousand years, everything has changed. What kind of changes have taken place? Therefore, some people say that cultural relics are witnesses of history, and their silence will bring us closer to the most authentic past. Perhaps this is also one of the significance of the existence of museums.
The pigeons are still hovering and strolling, remembering the lyrics of "Prague Square": I stood in Prague at dusk in the square, casting hope in the wishing fountain, the group of pigeons with their backs to the setting sun, the picture is too beautiful, I do not dare to look at it.......
Good-bye, Provincial Museum! The first time I've ever seen the world, I've seen the world, I've seen the world! In the future, I will definitely find the right opportunity to visit the provincial museum again, and to the provincial museum square to enjoy the warmth and romance of feeding pigeons, after all, I can not afford to sit in the first class, oh.
