More than two months ago, the "National Treasure Exhibition Season" came because of the exhibition, which began a journey of national treasure creation and performance in which talent and creativity flew together, and tradition and modernity danced together.
In the nine programs that we have walked together, we have lamented the spirit of "eighteen years old", tasted the taste of "Qianlong Qianlong", all the touches under the "brilliant stars", and listened to the persistence in "Only the stone can speak". We indulged in the sonorous romance of "stopping the war for the sake of war", the thousand turns of "one dream of the Tang Dynasty", the self-confidence of the "National Style Movement", the thick power of "a thousand words", and finally encountered the ancient human childhood in the "National Style Fairy Tale"... At present, all the creative works have been imported into the exhibition hall of the Palace Museum of Wenhua Hall, and they will soon present innovative special exhibitions with multiple dimensions together with many cultural relics.
On December 25, 2021 (this Saturday) at 19:00, the "National Treasures Exhibition season" will come to an end on the CCTV Variety Channel of China Central Radio and Television Corporation. In this issue, curators from 30 participating museums across the country will gather together to unveil the special exhibition of "National Treasures" cultural relics.
At the same time, 30 curators will also bring "thick earth cubes" collected from important local archaeological sites to jointly build the "Why China" installation on the spot to launch the special exhibition.
The cultural relics exhibited in the exhibition unveil civilization is like water, converging into the answer to "why China"
From 1921 to 2021, over the past 100 years, several generations of archaeologists have made unremitting efforts to make a series of major archaeological discoveries, showing the origin, development context, brilliant achievements and major contributions to world civilization, and playing an important role in better understanding the long-standing and profound Chinese civilization.
Since the three seasons of "National Treasure", it has always cherished the fiery original intention of "making national treasures come alive", constantly refining the unique temperament of cultural relics themselves, interpreting the genetic code of Chinese culture, excavating the spiritual minerals in the depths of history, and leading everyone to explore the answer to the era of "why China". In order to pay an affectionate tribute to the search for Chinese archaeology over the past century, this special exhibition of cultural relics that brings together the precipitation and thinking of three seasons of programs will take "Why China" as the theme and invite the audience to appreciate the painstaking crystallization of a century of archaeology.
The vast number of audiences are waiting: in this cultural relics feast of "three seasons of grinding a sword", what national treasures will meet with everyone? What kind of refreshing format will this special exhibition take?
In the five-thousand-year history of civilization of the Chinese nation, there have been unification and division, collision and integration, glory and vicissitudes, but our civilization has never stopped flowing, and it is still constantly inheriting, expanding and innovating. This special exhibition compares Chinese civilization to water, showing the audience the vast atmosphere of pluralism, continuous and inclusiveness, and the unit of the exhibition is also determined by water: the first unit is "source", stopping to gaze at the little stars at the origin of civilization; the second unit is "flow", showing the exchange and integration between nations and nationalities, between local and external, human beings and nature in history; the third unit is "Hui", trying to answer how the ideas, tempered skills, and collected classics of the ancestors make us condense into a whole. And what China has contributed to the development of the world.
Three seasons of grinding a sword, it is a collection of fine products. In this exhibition, major museums come with precious collections, east, west, south, north and middle together, the exhibits cover stoneware, pottery, bronze, iron, gold and silver, jade, porcelain, ancient documents and other cultural relics, a variety of national treasures, showing the brilliance of Chinese civilization.
Among the national treasures that will be unveiled in the special exhibition, there are not only highly popular cultural relics since the three seasons of the program, such as the Dish Fangwei, Du Hu Fu, the Yunmeng Sleeping Tiger Di Qin Jian, and the Silver Gilt Inlaid Beaded Golden Wing Bird Standing Statue, as well as the precious treasures that have appeared in the "National Treasure" for the first time, such as the Seven Huang Group Jade Pendant, the Ejun Qijin Festival, the Tang Persian Peacock Blue Glazed Pottery Vase, and the Tang Monk Sutra Diagram Pillow.
At that time, which cultural relics will stand in the C position? Which cultural relics that debuted in "National Treasure" have the potential to "fire out of the circle"? What kind of stories will they bring us? All the answers, waiting for the audience to unlock it personally.
The country and mountains have left a trace of victory, and my generation has returned to the landing. In 1934, Mr. Lu Xun wrote in the afterword to the "Introduction to the Jade Collection", "The light of the future will surely prove that we are not only the preservers of literary and artistic heritage, but also the pioneers and builders!" ”
As a supporting derivative program of the "National Treasure" cultural relics special exhibition, "National Treasure Exhibition season" is a tour of traditional Chinese culture and a climb towards the peak of literature and art. Since the ninth period, all the creators and performers of national treasures have done their best to open up the life of the times; through modern technology, they have displayed the talents of their ancestors and brought unique knowledge sharing and literary and artistic works to audiences across the country.
While inviting the vast number of literary and art workers and enthusiasts to create and perform "literary and art exhibits", the "National Treasures Exhibition and Performance Season" also sent another team to various places to re-visit the museums since the three seasons of "National Treasures" and assist the curators in making different national treasure IDENTITies for the special exhibition.
Not for the prosperity of easy ingenuity, do not give up the original intention to always. These treasure certificates are the product of the collision of cultural relics with intangible cultural heritage elements and folk customs in various places. "National Treasure Exhibition Season" specially created a national treasure IDENTITY card, which once again activated the vitality and imagination of cultural relics with a new form of expression, and also represented the tribute and inheritance of excellent traditional culture.
Everyone who has ever been in contact with a national treasure, and everyone who guards the national treasure today, is inheriting Chinese civilization in their own way and telling the world "why China".
At the end of the "National Treasures Exhibition season", the program once again invites the national audience to approach the national treasure, walk into the exhibition, enter the museum, take a glance at the millennium, and feel the thickness and temperature of civilization in the coming days with the help of more means!
