First of all, I came to the "Fine Exhibition Hall of Ancient Painting Art", where paintings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties were displayed. I can be said to be a complete layman in painting, but I can also feel the spiritual world of profound, elegant, quiet and beautiful artistic conception emitted by literati painters through pen and ink. Following the spiral structure on the second floor, we came to the "Fine Calligraphy Exhibition of Ming and Qing Dynasties" on the third floor, focusing on the fine calligraphy collected or circulated in Beijing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and showing the characteristics of Beijing calligraphy art. On the fourth floor, there was the "Fine Bronze Art Exhibition of Yan Di", which focused on the cultural features of Yan bronze and showed the earliest bronze art in Beijing from the aspects of casting technology, modeling and decoration. There is also a "Beijing Opera Cultural Relics Exhibition" on the fourth floor. And those beautiful faces and costumes, and the opera in the teahouse. Sitting at a small table and watching the drama being staged on the big screen in front of you, you can really feel the intimacy and complacency of people who came to the teahouse for leisure at that time.
On the fourth floor, there is the "Fine Exhibition of Ancient Porcelain Art", which is what I am most concerned about and what I look at most seriously. It is divided into four exhibition halls: Song, Liao, Jin, Ming and Qing, which mainly focus on the important sites, tombs and kiln cultural relics in Beijing from Song, Liao and Jin to Ming and Qing dynasties. This exhibition fully shows the exquisite porcelain unearthed in various historical periods and handed down from generation to generation, reflects the development track of ancient ceramics in China at various stages, and embodies the historical features of ancient ceramic art in China, a Chinese treasure.
Liu Yong's calligraphy works
There are too many works that surprise me and even shock me. I have only seen a lot in books before, but I didn't expect to see the real thing this time. I am very excited. There is an absolutely exquisite craft, that is, the figure pillow on the stage of Jingdezhen kiln green and white glaze drama. This kind of porcelain pillow is carved into the form of a stage with beads rolling on it. Many actors are performing a drama, which reflects the popular drama social fashion in Yuan Dynasty. Porcelain pillows are beautifully carved, integrating architecture, stage and porcelain carving art, showing the face of drama art in Yuan Dynasty and the superb porcelain-making technology of Jingdezhen kiln workers. The figures and stage in the porcelain pillow are so beautifully carved. Moreover, its stage beams and railings are very thin, and I'm afraid they will break when touched. I don't know how it can be preserved so completely. It really excites me! Many of the exhibits in the ceramic exhibition hall are too eye-opening, but unfortunately my memory is limited and I can't list them here. I wish I had a chance to look at it more carefully.
Reluctantly left the fourth floor and came to the fifth floor. The fifth floor is the "Fine Exhibition of Ancient Jade Art", which is divided into three parts: Neolithic Age to Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties to Liao and Jin Dynasties, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. This exhibition reflects the development history and artistic characteristics of Beijing jade from the perspective of displaying Beijing jade culture. I like blue and white jade very much. It looks very pure, and some of them can be said to be crystal clear and pleasing. There is also the "Old Beijing Folk Exhibition" on the fifth floor. In this exhibition hall, small clay figurines imitating the lively and festive scenes of weddings at that time can be seen everywhere, revealing the simple folk customs at that time. Besides these, I still remember the paper-cut exhibition, kite exhibition, Beijing snack exhibition and clothing exhibition.
Time passed in such a hurry that I reluctantly left my first blog. I really want my family to see it, definitely glad you came. What left me was too many surprises, too many shocks, and I am still excited.
