Chapter 270 Cloisonné Enamel Wrapped Branch Lotus Pattern Gallbladder Vase (for Subscription)

Walking into the Jinling Museum, there are already people waiting for them.

It was a very young-looking, well-mannered young man wearing glasses.

After seeing Chu He, he said friendly: "Mr. Chu He, you are here."

"Hello." Chuhe stretched out his hand.

"I am the deputy curator of Jinling Museum. My surname is Ma, just call me Xiaoma." Director Ma said immediately.

Xu Tongshan was surprised, "It's so young."

"You're not young anymore, you're already over 30." Director Ma smiled.

"Curator Ma, I wonder what cultural relic you want us to restore?" Chuhe asked.

Curator Ma then invited: "Don't worry, I'll take you to visit the Jinling Museum first."

"Okay, it just allows our club members to supplement their knowledge." Chu He agreed.

Walking into the exhibition hall, curator Ma led them to the first exhibition room.

Everyone looked at the cultural relics under the glass.

It was found that the subject was a profile portrait squatting and raising hands.

The eyes are represented by sunken dots on the head, the mouth and nose are outlined by curved lines, and five parallel ridges engraved on the top of the head represent the crown, and the towering arc above the crown represents a bundle of feathers.

On one side of the face of the person wearing the feather crown, there is an animal with head and tail, front and rear limbs connected with the feather crown.

At the top is a relief bird, with a small head and short neck, a flat beak slightly open, a large body and a raised tail. The image is extremely vivid.

This has made many people curious.

Tang Wanjun asked Director Ma: "What is this, Director Ma?"

"This is the open-carved human, bird and animal jade."

Curator Ma explained: "The important content of prehistoric civilization is the infinite worship of totems. The so-called totems are certain animals that were worshiped as ancestors in the primitive era, and thus became the protection gods for the survival and reproduction of the ancestors. .”

"The totems of Zhao Lingshan include fish, birds, rats, etc. The ancestors made their beautiful imaginations on them, through spiritual creativity and exquisite craftsmanship, on exquisite jade articles, and made these small animals The anthropomorphism and exaggeration of living beings will produce fascinating aesthetic taste no matter whether they are viewed or worn."

"And in 92, at the Zhaolingshan site, a prehistoric site in Kunshan, which was rated as one of the "Top Ten New Archaeological Discoveries in the Country", jade articles representing the highest level of craftsmanship at that time were unearthed, and that was the openwork jade ornaments of humans, birds and animals."

Everyone looked at this openwork jade carved with humans, birds and animals, and couldn't help but feel that the imagination of the ancestors at that time was too rich.

At this time, Xu Tongshan looked at another exhibition of cultural relics.

She saw a little golden cicada, and she was very excited: "Look, there is a cicada here!"

"This exhibit is the golden cicada and jade leaf of the Ming Dynasty." Director Ma said immediately.

Everyone looked at it with searching eyes, and there was a golden cicada standing on the jade leaf.

It turned sideways, raised its feet, its wings were slightly opened, its mouth was slightly opened, and there were two cicada wings on the left and right.

"This jade leaf is crafted from XJ Hetian mutton fat white jade. The blade is polished and thin in a concave arc shape. It is divided into eight petals, with one main vein and four branch veins on each side. The veins on the front of the leaf are carved into a curved concave shape. grooves, and the veins on the back are formed into convex ribs, which makes the leaves very realistic, and the edges of the whole leaf are rounded and smooth."

Hearing this, Chuhe even wondered if curator Ma had memorized all the knowledge points of these cultural relics.

He was able to not write a single word!
Regarding this, Director Ma smiled, "Actually, these are very normal. They are compulsory courses for our staff. If you are going to take the tour guide certificate test, the same is true. You need to memorize many pages of knowledge about tourist attractions. .”

After watching the golden cicada and jade leaf, they continued to walk in.

"The next thing is our silver jade clothes!" Curator Ma let them look over.

A pair of armor-like clothes lay quietly on the cabinet.

"Silver thread jade clothes are a kind of ancient jade clothes. Jade clothes are also called jade boxes. They are clothes worn by ancient emperors and nobles after death. There are gold thread, silver thread, copper thread, and silk thread."

At this moment, Su Wei clicked on the phonetic knowledge explanation next to it: ""Han Jiuyi" and "Hou Hanshu" record: "When the emperor collapsed, he wrapped it with beads and wrapped it with twelve layers of twigs.Jade is used as the undergarment, which is like an armor, and it is stitched together, with gold as the thread.From the waist down, jade is used as a tie, one chi long and two and a half inches wide. It is a scorpion, and it goes down to the feet. It is also sewn with gold carvings... Princes, princes, nobles, and princesses all ordered to give seals and jade. Silver strands of the tower; copper strands of the great nobleman and the eldest princess. ""

The curator Ma continued to analyze the part of the phonetic knowledge on the computer that was not explained: "Actually, two basically complete silver-threaded jade garments have been found in our country, both of which were unearthed in Han Dynasty tombs in Xuzhou. The first silver-threaded jade This garment is ours. It was unearthed in 69 in the No. 1.70 Han Tomb in Tushan, Xuzhou. It is the tomb of the descendants of Liu Gong, King Pengcheng of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The golden jade garment is similar."

Lu Xinye couldn't help asking: "What about the other one?"

"Another silver-threaded jade garment from the tomb of Liu He, a volcano in the Western Han Dynasty, has not been disturbed. Except for the decay of the silver strands, the structure of each part of the jade garment is clear. It is the earliest silver-threaded jade garment that has been scientifically excavated."

After seeing so many cultural relics, Chuhe felt that it was time to get to the point, so he asked Director Ma: "Which cultural relic in Jinling Museum needs to be restored?"

"The restored cultural relics are not in the exhibition hall, everyone follow me." Curator Ma led them around the back hall and walked to the studio.

After opening a room and turning on the lights, he pointed to the transparent glass in the middle and said, "That's it."

Chu He and others walked over and observed carefully.

"This is?" Lu Xinye saw that this bottle seemed very strange, not like the ancient vases he usually saw.

"This is a cloisonné enamel bile vase with lotus patterns," curator Ma explained.

Chu He nodded: "I also guessed, it should be from the Qianlong Dynasty?"

"How did Mr. Chu He see it?" Curator Ma was a little surprised.

Chu He explained: "The cloisonné enamel tires of the Qianlong Dynasty are pure in copper, with thick fetal bones and no lightness. Some utensils are even made of expensive gold tires."

"The enamel glaze has no sense of transparency, the trachoma is reduced, it is fine and smooth, and the color of the enamel glaze is richer than in any previous period; in the pattern decoration, in addition to inheriting the practice of hooking lotus in the Ming Dynasty, it also uses antique animal face patterns, Geometric patterns, landscapes, pavilions, flowers, birds, insects and fish, and character stories are used as decorations to pursue the interest of painting and achieve good decorative effects."

Chu He pointed to the appearance of the bottle, "In terms of gold plating and chisel carving, no expense was spared in terms of financial resources and skills, the gold was thick and the carvings were exquisite; the cloisonné enamel technique in this period was often combined with the painting enamel technique, and inlaid with jewelry. It has a typical resplendent royal artistic style."

"Except for our profligate family Qianlong, I can't think of any era where the emperor could be so extravagant."

"That's right, that's right, that's right." Curator Ma nodded.
