Chinese Antique Treasures in British Museum

Welcome to Yi Bu Yi Qian Kun. Today, let's go to the British Museum in London. I've been to the British Museum several times, but every time I come, I have a different feeling, a fresh feeling and different exhibits. There are the richest collections of world culture here. These massive collections record the history of human civilization. It seems that the protagonists here are Egyptian culture, ancient Greek culture, and so on. Western culture occupies a large area and space. But as a Chinese visitor, I can't help but go to the Chinese Exhibition Hall on the 33rd, and the Chinese porcelain exhibition on the 95th. This is a very famous Sampusa mural. I've seen this mural in Yongle Palace, Shanxi. This is the Sampusa. This Sampusa is very interesting. The face is all white and colorful. This huge stone Buddha statue is made of water. It was originally in Hebei. In the Republic of China, it was transported abroad by the famous antique dealer Lu Qinshan. Because it was too big, it was cut into three sections. Now you can't see the Buddha's hand on the stone statue. You can see that the arm in the middle has been cut off. There is no arm now. There is a cut on the side of the skirt. This is what Lu Qinshan sold. Yes, Lu Qinshan. This is from Hebei. We've seen the words written on this dragon. These cultural relics witnessed the revolutionary history of our local anti-fascism. The characters are vivid. They vividly show the mark of that era. The essence of Chinese porcelain culture, Qinghua porcelain. Now we enter the No. 95 Hall, the Chinese porcelain collection hall of the Great Wei Dynasty. In the history of the world's collection, it has a strong impact. This bottle is named after Mr. Great Wei. It subverted the perception of Yuan Qinghua in the Chinese porcelain world. It laid the foundation for the unwavering status of Qinghua porcelain in Chinese porcelain. It is the foundation of Han culture, Persian culture and Mongolian culture. This Great Wei bottle is a treasure. Before this bottle appeared, the Chinese porcelain world generally thought that Qinghua porcelain only existed after the Ming Dynasty. Since then, people have a new understanding and study of Yuan Qinghua. Later, the famous Yuan Qinghua classics such as Guiguzi and Xiashan appeared. The exhibits in this cabinet are another natural existence. This is the Northern Song Ruyao. It is said that there are only more than 60 pieces in the world. There are 23 in the Taipei Forbidden City, 17 in the Beijing Forbidden City, and 12 in the Great Wei Dynasty. According to the statistics of the Qing Dynasty, there was a dragon with dark lines on its body. It didn't see these two lines. It's a real dragon. It doesn't matter if you can't see it. If you pick up the dragon and buckle it up, it's basically the same. At that time, a clever craftsman carved dragon patterns on the dragon with a bamboo knife. This cabinet is of extraordinary value. It is said that one of the small copper Jigang cups was auctioned for more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars at the Hong Kong Auction. This is the 12 colorful flower cup of Kangxi. The tour guide reminded us that two of them were made later. Let's distinguish it. It's easy to see that their colors are slightly different. The two small cups are bright and shiny. It's not as soft as other stone cups. These porcelains are so exquisite. The color of the flowers is so beautiful. It really makes us look back. There are more than 1,700 Chinese porcelains in the Great Wei Dynasty. They are getting more and more exquisite. They are getting more and more rare treasures. This color is so amazing. This lotus pot is so elegant. Is this the lily red that Zhu Yuanzhang likes? Maybe not. Cangyang is in the world of exquisite porcelain in China. Admire its exquisite craftsmanship, unique shape, bright color. It shows the great spirit of Chinese culture to the world. Chinese ancient culture is an important component in the history of world civilization. It contributes a lot to the development of human civilization. This is the end of Daying Museum. Thank you for watching. More museum programs will be launched in the future. That's all for this issue. See you next time.
