During this time at the Shanghai Museum, in addition to the permanent exhibition in the museum, a special exhibition of Chinese zodiac animals during the Spring Festival also attracted many visitors to check in and look for the dragon.
Headquarters reporter Hu Yiwei:The Shanghai Museum can be said to be the “top” exhibition hall in Shanghai during the Spring Festival. One of the reasons is the Year of the Dragon Spring Exhibition. Every year, Shanghai Expo holds a zodiac welcome exhibition in the lobby on the first floor of the People’s Square Pavilion. This year’s protagonist is naturally the dragon. This special zodiac exhibition at the Shanghai Museum carefully selects exquisite dragon cultural relics from different periods and with different images from hundreds of cultural relics related to dragon images.
The Year of the Dragon welcomes the spring exhibition to see the evolution of dragon culture over the millennium
Among the cultural relics on display, the earliest one is the jade-shaped dragon, which has a history of more than 5,000 years. It was born in the late Hongshan Culture of the Neolithic Age. This type of jue-shaped artifact is considered to be an early image of the dragon. According to the shape It is speculated that it may have originated from pigs, bears or silkworms, and is also known as the “Jade Pig Dragon”, which reflects the richness of the origin of dragon culture.
In the exhibition, the largest one is the modern Coral Dragon. It is carved from a whole branch of red coral. This is the first time the museum has exhibited this collection. The image of the dragon is very vivid. There are movable orbs in its mouth and carvings on its limbs. There are Ganoderma lucidum and Xiaolong, which can be said to be unique.
In the exhibition, you can also see dragon-patterned plates from the late Western Zhou Dynasty and Jin Dynasty, golden dragons and gilt-bronze dragon head silver chains from the Tang Dynasty, six-dragon cups from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, etc. Attentive viewers will notice that among these exhibits The dragon pattern has changed, and the number of dragon claws has also changed. We can also intuitively feel the evolution and development of the image of the dragon in the long history.
Not just “cold”, dragon cultural relics can also be “cute”
During the interview, the reporter found that the most popular one in the exhibition was the blue and white rouge red cloud and dragon pattern amphorae from the Jingdezhen kiln during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty: the neck of the flat bottle had the word “longevity” written in rouge red, and the dragon five on the body With its claws fully open and its body facing the audience, it looks very dynamic and friendly.
According to the museum, the image of dragon is often mysterious, majestic and aloof. This time the museum also specially selected such a cute dragon image and made it into a cultural and creative playing card to share the joy of the New Year with the audience. This year, it participated in Audiences of the Spring Festival Gala Magic may consider coming here to buy a new deck of playing cards.
At the same time, the shape of this cultural relic draws on the moon-holding vase from the Yongxuan period of the Ming Dynasty, and the carmine is a pigment imported from the West during the Qianlong period. It also reflects the collision and integration of different cultures, and also reflects the character of the city of Shanghai.
Multicultural fusion and collision look at the dialogue between Eastern and Western cultures across time and space
Looking at the entire museum, it is not just this one exhibit that reflects the blending and collision of multiculturalism. The special exhibition “Dialogue with Leonardo da Vinci” is ongoing in the museum, and it is also ingeniously presenting an art feast of mutual learning between Eastern and Western civilizations and the sharing of beauty and beauty.
In the center of the special exhibition is the oil painting “Woman with Flowing Hair” by Leonardo da Vinci, which has the most oriental aesthetic charm. Also in the exhibition hall is the “Autumn Wind Fan Scroll” by Tang Bohu, an artist of the same generation as Da Vinci.
It is also the first time that the museum has put together 18 masterpieces of ancient Chinese paintings from its collection and displayed them simultaneously with 18 Western Renaissance art treasures, allowing the audience to see through a window and an arch the conceptual and artistic differences between Chinese and Western painting arts of the same period. The similarities and differences in techniques, coupled with various multimedia exhibition forms, allow you to experience a dialogue between Eastern and Western art across time and space. From this, we can also see that Shanghai’s cultural and museum exhibition halls are constantly thinking and innovating to create higher-quality cultural and tourism experiences.
