Season 4 National Treasure poster

These 3 treasures from the China Three Gorges Museum in Chongqing will appear in the fourth season of CCTV's well-known cultural and museum exploration program "National Treasure" tomorrow night (29th)! On the afternoon of June 28, the Literary and Art Program Center of China Central Radio and Television officially released the latest trailer of the fourth season of "National Treasure", which includes the inscription of Baiheliang of the China Three Gorges Museum in Chongqing, Qin Liangyu's red silk plate gold embroidered python phoenix clothes and the signature scroll of the literary union.

At the same time, according to the arrangement of this season's "National Treasure" program team, actors Xu Kai, Zeng Li and Yang Zhigang will respectively be the "guardians of national treasures" of these three treasures to tell the extraordinary life experiences and wonderful stories behind them in the show.

Chongqing Fuling White Crane Liang inscription

From the point of view of popularity, the inscription of Baiheliang is the highest. It was originally a natural giant stone beam about 1,600 meters long and 15 meters wide in the Fuling section of the Yangtze River in Chongqing, and was named after the frequent swarms of white cranes in the early years.

What is special about it is that there are about 175 inscriptions and 18 stone fish on the white crane beam. Among them, the earliest double carp stone fish was carved before the second year of Tang Guangde (764 AD). The ancients used the stone fish as the water mark, and the fish eye as the zero standard for measuring the water level, and recorded the hydrological information of more than 60 dry years in the Yangtze River in 1200 years. It is also a unique cultural tradition for local people to watch the hydrological records every year to judge the crop harvest in the coming year, which has great scientific, historical and artistic value, and is praised as the "world's first ancient hydrological station" by UNESCO.

In 2006, the Baiheliang inscription was included in the preliminary list of China's declaration of world cultural heritage by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage; In 2008, the inscription of Baiheliang was included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Tentative List.

In order to protect the Baiheliang that was submerged by the Yangtze River due to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River, in 2003, the principle of "non-pressurized container" was adopted to protect the Baiheliang inscription in situ, and the world's first underwater site museum was built. Nowadays, tourists can take the 91-meter-long elevator to the bottom of the river and enjoy the history, humanities and folk customs of Baiheliang for more than 1,000 years through the underwater corridor.

Qin Liangyu's red silk plate gold embroidered python phoenix clothes

Qin Liangyu's red silk plate and gold embroidered python phoenix robe are one of the relics of Qin Liangyu, the only female general who has been recorded in the official history. The most conspicuous thing on the whole phoenix robe is the gold embroidered python phoenix style, the chest is embroidered with a golden four-clawed python in the middle, and the chest and back and both sleeves are embroidered with colorful phoenixes. Back then, Qin Liangyu invited Ying to resist the Qing Dynasty and made many military exploits. The phoenix robe was given by Emperor Chongzhen in order to reward her for her victory in battle.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that the traditional phoenix pattern painted on the shoulders of the relay uniforms of the 2008 Beijing Olympic torchbearers is taken from this Qin Liangyu red silk plate gold embroidered python phoenix clothes.

In 1940, the Cultural Work Committee established a reception signature axis

The third treasure that was favored by the "National Treasure" program team this time: the signature axis of the Literary and Art Union, in fact, the full name is the signature axis of the reception for the establishment of the Cultural Work Committee in 1940, which is a national first-class cultural relic.

The background of its birth is that on November 7, 1940, the Cultural Work Committee of the Political Department of the Military Commission of the National Government (referred to as the Literary and Art Union) held a reception party in Chongqing Kangjian Hall, which was attended by almost all celebrities from all walks of life in Chongqing at that time, especially cultural and artistic celebrities, and most of them left valuable inscriptions.

Guo Moruo then framed the horizontal axis of the rice paper and hung the signature scroll in the atrium downstairs of the Literary Union at No. 7 Tianguanfu Street in Chongqing until the Literary Union was dissolved. In 1986, Weng Zhiyun, who was the secretary of the Literary Union, donated the scroll to the Chongqing Museum. The signature axis bears witness to the unity of patriotic and progressive people in the cultural and artistic circles under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and demonstrates the great strength of the anti-Japanese national united front.

Later, after careful identification by the staff of the China Three Gorges Museum in Chongqing, there were more than 300 signatures on the scroll. It mainly includes Zhou Enlai, Huang Yanpei, Shen Junru, Tao Xingzhi, Yu Youren, Zhang Bojun, Yan Baohang, Zou Taofen, Deng Chumin, Chen Wangdao, Zhang Shenfu, Bingxin, Tian Han, Mao Dun, Lao She and other important cultural and artistic celebrities and military and political dignitaries in Chongqing at that time.
