Zhang: Xi 'an Royal Treasure Hall

When it comes to royal works of art, people naturally think of rare works of art. Western art and oriental art are the greatest art of mankind, and the most beautiful art will definitely be collected by the royal family. The western palace, following the crystallization of western art displayed in the museum, has been widely recognized and appreciated by people all over the world. They have been intoxicated with the visual enjoyment of the beauty of these works of art. Compared with western art, the history of oriental culture is ancient and profound. The ancestors of China created more exquisite and ancient oriental cultural relics and works of art, and the ancient civilization with thousands of years of history has been inherited and protected by the people in China, and collectors have carried forward and developed the excellent Chinese culture.

(In the Tang Dynasty, Guan Gong's crystal was inlaid with gems, 2.4 meters high and weighing 2 tons)

Due to the war in China's history, many royal treasures of China were lost and scattered on the land of China, which were later collected by folk collectors for various reasons.

Today, let's talk about a friend. He is displaying royal treasures scattered among the people in the Royal Treasures Museum. He is Mr. Zhang, curator of the Royal Treasure Museum.

Anyone who has met curator Zhang will think that he is wearing an old man's sweatshirt. Zhang with black cloth shoes is an ordinary China man who doesn't look like a rich man, but he spends120,000 to 300,000 yuan on electricity and property management every month for his beloved "Royal Treasure Hall", which contains many good things that are more precious than the Palace Museum, and a "male and female sword" with a bid of 4 billion yuan.

Since its opening in April 20 16, the Royal Treasures Museum has received thousands of visitors. Zhang, a man in the northwest who opened a factory, is not only extremely strong inside, but also stubbornly plunged into the field of collection. He and his friends traveled all over the country, from Harbin to Shenzhen and from Xinjiang to Shanghai.

Today, we walked into the Royal Treasure Museum in Dongda Mountain Villa, Chang 'an District, Xi 'an, to learn about the old man and his feelings for treasures. It is more than 30 kilometers away from the center of Xi. You can take buses 9 16 and 92 1 and get off at Luohandong village, and walk for ten minutes. The Royal Treasure Museum is located at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, overlooking the majestic Qinling Mountains. The Qinling Mountains, the great Long Mai of China, gave birth to the prosperity of Chang 'an in the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties, and also gave birth to the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism with royal culture. Come to the Royal Treasures Museum, walk along the high platform, trim bamboo, the flowing water is gurgling, and the bronze museum door is antique to welcome every visiting friend!

According to Zhang, the Treasure Hall is divided into nine exhibition halls: Preface Hall, Qing Dynasty Cultural Relics, Porcelain, Buddhist Literature Hall, Bronzes, Treasures, Calligraphy and Painting, Furniture and Jade Articles. Important exhibits in the Preface Hall include the nearly 2-ton statue of Guan Gong in the Tang Dynasty, the Longquan Temple Bell made by Daoyan and Monks in the Hongwu period of Ming Dynasty, the blue and white glaze of Xuande in Ming Dynasty, and the porcelain sculpture of General Kloc-0/08. Among them, the collection "Longquan Temple Bell" says: Daoyan, a Taoist priest in the Ming Dynasty, became a monk at the age of 14, and hit it off with Zhu Yuanzhang, because both of them are monks and are highly valued by him ... According to Zhang, the porcelain sculpture of this "108 generals" is the mausoleum of the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty.

I. Preface Hall

When we entered the preface hall of the Royal Treasure Museum, we saw the Grand Duke of Crystal in the Tang Dynasty, which was 2.4 meters high and weighed two tons. Guan Gong was holding a broadsword with gold-plated jewels. The crystal imperial concubine bed, crystal plush chair, crystal jar, crystal dragon pot and crystal basin of the Tang Dynasty royal family are displayed in the window, all of which are gold-plated and inlaid with precious stones. Dozens of crystal products of the Tang Dynasty show the prosperity and luxury of the palace of the Tang Dynasty. There is a bronze enamel screen, a bronze enamel throne and a bronze enamel crane in the middle of the Qing royal family. The crane's mouth contains ganoderma lucidum and the pedal dragon turtle, which is the treasure of the Qing court.

There is a porcelain plate painting of the Qing Palace hanging on the wall, which is a painting by Ding, a famous court painter in the Qing Dynasty: a Buddha statue with auspicious life in spring, summer, autumn and winter. About 300 years ago, they were painted with enamel and burned on porcelain plates. Ancient court painters painted on porcelain plates, which were skilled, profound in artistic conception, exquisite in pictures and bright in colors. Porcelain plate paintings fired at high temperature will not fade for thousands of years, and the top ten famous paintings in the world are not comparable. These royal porcelain paintings in the Royal Treasure Museum can be said to be the brightest artistic pearls in the world art hall! Zhang pointed to the raised part of the porcelain painting: "Feel the feeling of this bracelet ... This sculpture is a relief with a strong three-dimensional sense, just like a real bracelet. Such exquisite craftsmanship is not something that people can imitate now. "

Red Water Margin 108 in the blue-and-white glaze of the Ming Dynasty is displayed in the corner. The characters in the Water Margin are lifelike, which shows the historical story of Liangshan heroes incisively and vividly.

Second, the imperial memory hall

Come to the Royal Memory Museum on the second floor, the Royal Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall of Qing Dynasty. 50 yuan's great achievements of the Qing Dynasty are hung on the main hall, which are porcelain paintings of 50 generals who made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty in the past in Ziguangge Palace. Most of the 50-character paintings made of paper were taken away by foreigners and collected in foreign museums.

In the center of the exhibition hall is the screen of Ziguangge, and the emperor's throne is made of lobular rosewood and bronze tire enamel. The red screen of lobular rosewood is beautifully made, engraved with the emperor's warning: "Harmony is precious, and knowing others is wise." It means that the people will be stable if the benefits are given to them. To be emperor, you should not only know people, but also choose people, so you are a philosopher.

On the opposite side is a three-piece set of bronze enamel throne: a pair of dragon chair tea tables, beautifully made and used in the palace. There are clocks and watches made in cooperation between China and the West on the coffee table. The blue-and-white porcelain shell is obviously made in China, and the watch core and bronze angel are made abroad, which may be the physical expression of the early cooperation between China and the West.

On the left side of the screen are porcelain paintings of emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong: three emperors in the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, and Emperor Kangxi was the greatest emperor of the Qing Dynasty; Yong Zhengdi gave everything he had, and he was also the emperor of Zhongxing in Qing Dynasty. Emperor Qianlong was the greatest artist in the history of China. During his reign, China's art developed to the most prosperous period. Below the statue of the emperor are inkstones, seals and other articles used by three emperors. On the right side of the picture are porcelain paintings of three Empresses of the Qing Dynasty. Below the portrait are the East Pearl (Zhu Chao) worn by the Emperor and Empress, as well as the waist tag and cat's eye jewelry entering the palace. In front of the screen is the royal bronze tire enamel fragrance, surrounded by three generations of porcelain.

Third, the Oriental Charm Exhibition Hall:

Porcelain is China's greatest invention to the world and has changed the world civilization. It was not until people began to use porcelain that they really entered the era of civilization. In Xi 'an, we can see that the blue glazed porcelain of the Han Dynasty was found in the Chang 'an site of the Han Dynasty, which shows that porcelain has become the object of use in the Han Dynasty.

The exhibition hall mainly displays the artifacts of the imperial civilization in the world-Chang 'an in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, including blue and white porcelain, twisted porcelain and Jun kiln porcelain in the Tang Dynasty, showing the perfection of Xing kiln porcelain in the Tang Dynasty. There are also porcelains of the Song Dynasty on display here: beautiful women with color-changing glaze in Ru kiln; Yuan dynasty: blue and white porcelain; Ming dynasty porcelain, the Ming dynasty porcelain on display is gorgeous and exquisite, with strong ornamental and skillful painting skills, which truly reflects: (1) the infinite charm of ancient porcelain; Qing dynasty porcelain: Qing dynasty porcelain inherited the advantages of Ming dynasty porcelain. It is more exquisite in craftsmanship and more beautiful in enamel, reaching the peak in the history of China porcelain, even today.

Fourth, Baoxiangzhuang Buddhist Culture Exhibition Hall.

Buddhist culture, Taoist culture and Confucian culture are the roots of Chinese culture, which has been deeply rooted and flourished for five thousand years. For thousands of years, the spiritual pillar of China's national belief and the root of China's culture are Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

Porcelain painting hanging on the wall of the hall: the source map of the legal world, drawn by Ding, a court painter in Qing Dynasty. The main hall is dedicated to the three holy buddhas of Ming Dynasty, and there are Buddhist relics on the altar. In the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian invited her into the palace from Famen Temple, but she did not return it to Famen Temple, and the gold coffin and silver coffin were well protected. Zhang specifically mentioned: "This is the phalanx relic of Sakyamuni Buddha." At present, Famen Temple only worships "shadow bone", which is the "real bone".

Avalokitesvara, Ksitigarbha, Avalokitesvara, Amitabha and Avalokitesvara are all porcelain paintings enshrined in the original palace. From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the royal family enshrined more than a dozen bronze-tire enamel Buddha statues with exquisite craftsmanship and perfection. Eighteen arhats of blue-and-white porcelain in Ming Dynasty are vivid, and Ding painted eighteen arhats on the back. A very precious sitting Buddha of Sakyamuni in the Eastern Han Dynasty was dedicated to Le Liang, that is, Korea, Dahan, Korea (North Korea and South Korea) is also the territory of China.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) bronze exhibition hall

Bronze ware is a symbol of human civilization, and the lobby on the second floor displays exquisite bronzes of Xia, Shang and Zhou Chinese civilization. People see that the bronze civilization with different gold and silver is the craft of the ancients 2700 years ago, and even modern science and technology can't copy these exquisite ancient arts.

In the bronze exhibition hall, Zhang introduced the pair of "male and female swords" worth 4 billion yuan. According to him, they were owned by Xiong Mi, the king of Chu Hui in the Warring States Period, and they were made of "antique black paint" and "wrong gold and wrong silver". "The craftsmanship of wrong gold and wrong silver has all been lost in the Han Dynasty, so the bronze wares of today are all true as long as they are available in the market."

Male and female swords, also known as male and female Yuanyang swords, have different patterns and the same inscription: Xiong Mi, the king of Chu, used his sword as a minister. The length of the sword is 120 cm, and the width of the sword surface is at most 6 cm. Both sides of the sword body are dark (it was called black paint in ancient times, and it is chrome-plated in modern detection. Our ancestors mastered the chrome-plated rust-proof technology 2600 years ago). The body of the sword is dark and shiny, decorated with extremely exquisite staggered gold patterns. The root of the blade is inlaid with turquoise, the center line of the blade is straight and the blade is sharp, and it can still cut paper and wool. The hilt is exquisitely cast in concentric circles, as thin as hair.

Xiong Jian: The body of the sword is dark and shiny, with 1 12 golden dragons inlaid on both sides, which are interwoven by 56 double dragons. The sword has the inscription 12 on it (official seal made by Xiong Mi, King of Chu). The body of the sword is golden and beautifully decorated. Sword length 120cm, width 6cm. Female sword: The body of the sword is dark and shiny, and there are 88 patterns of figures, animals, auspicious clouds and bird prints on both sides. The image and manner are extremely vivid. Some figures bow and shoot arrows, while others hunt with spears and paint them vividly on swords. The sword is painted with gold patterns of various animals, including tigers, leopards and wolves. Deer. Sheep. Fish roe, pigs, etc. Inscription on the body of the sword (the sword made by Xiong Mi, King of Chu), length 120 cm, width 6 cm.

The male and female swords of King Xiong of Chu are made more perfect by taking the essence of the swords of Gou Jian, King of Yue, and Fu Cha, King of Wu. They are the most perfect, exquisite and superb embodiment of ancient bronze sword casting technology, and they are the perfect swords that cannot be copied and cast today.

Zhang said that if someone pays 4 billion yuan to buy the "male and female swords", he will definitely sell them, and all the money sold will go to the state, directly to the People's Liberation Army and let the navy buy aircraft carriers. This sounds a bit rough, but his patriotic feelings can be seen. Zhang's wish now is to hope that the state will give better policies to folk museums. Let him "preserve the things of his ancestors and don't throw them abroad. This is to contribute to the country." May curator Zhang's dream come true and let more people see the precious collection of the National Treasure Museum!
