Shanxi Museum, you really know how to enjoy yourself! There's even this way to appreciate flowers in spring
Let's highlight the key points: This exhibition brings together masterpieces from famous artists such as Luo Pin, Zhu Da, Zheng Xie, Xu Beihong, and Zhang Daqian, displaying more than 70 exquisite flower and bird paintings!
Flower and bird painting is a continuation of our country's traditional cultural development, permeated with profound humanistic connotations. From the Ming and Qing dynasties to the present, flower and bird works have become a medium that conveys emotions more easily than landscape paintings. The exhibition is divided into three units:
Unit One | 'New Paulownia, First Appeal - Aesthetic Empathy in Flower and Bird Painting'
Flower and bird painting integrates the natural attributes of flowers and birds with humanistic meanings, complementing each other. This is where paintings of the 'Four Gentlemen' - plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum - come from. Masterpieces such as Luo Pin's 'Ink Plum', Zhu Da's 'Lotus and Mandarin Ducks', and Zheng Xie's 'Orchid and Bamboo' are on display here.
Unit Two | 'Fragrance in Painting - The Form and Spirit Relationship in Flower and Bird Painting'
Chinese painting highly values the creation of artistic conception. As an aesthetic concept, artistic conception is an artistic expression of the painter's specific cultural mood, a pursuit of artistic transformation and expression. In Xu Beihong's 'Banana Leaves', Wu Changshuo's 'Agarwood', and Zhang Daqian's 'Lotus', one can explore the inner feelings during creation.
Unit Three | 'Romantic Flower Language - Auspicious Meanings in Flower and Bird Painting'
Chinese flower language appears in pattern form, becoming a representative pattern with unique Chinese characteristics. The symbolic meanings in flower and bird paintings are roughly divided into two types: using the natural attributes of flowers to reflect cultivation and realm; using relatively fixed pattern forms to express life's aspirations and symbolize auspiciousness and happiness.
A world in a flower, a bodhi in a leaf. Different flower languages become artistic expressions of people's pursuit of a beautiful life. Whether refined or worldly, the language of flowers always holds a place of beauty and romance in people's hearts.

The child's spring holiday is approaching May 1st, and he will go on a trip. Considering the staggered peak and the flow of people, he will choose Shanxi. Three thousand years of civilization look at Shaanxi, and five thousand years of civilization look at Shanxi. Before coming to Shanxi, the understanding of Sanjin culture was only scale, and the understanding of Central Plains culture was only sensual. It seemed that in addition to the dynasties songs recited when I was a child, that is, the ancient myths familiar to folk everyday. This trip to Shanxi Provincial Museum, let these familiar and distant knowledge become alive, suddenly have a solid, warm vein, seems to be in the body, in life. And all this feeling, can not be separated from this museum trip to explain teacher Guo Yonghong teacher. Teacher Guo Yonghong looks very young and beautiful, but when it comes to the veins of Chinese civilization, such as several Zhen, in her martyrdom, the veins of Central Plains civilization are displayed one by one, and it seems to cross the millennium in the museum. Originally two hours of explanation, Mr. Guo saw that we were very interested, plus there was still time, so it took more than 3 hours to unknowingly. Still let us feel that the meaning is still not enough. The holiday is over, I believe Shanxi will come again. Mr. Guo, meet again!
Teacher Tian said very well, because I couldn't hear it all, more than two hours, Shanxi has a long history, the mountains and rivers in the table, great, I will have the opportunity to study again next time.
The national-level museum has a rich and heavy collection. Remember to reserve enough time to visit. The museum is closed at 5 pm. I arrived at 3 o'clock and only had time to browse the second floor. Fortunately, the Shangzhou bronze and Northern Wei Buddha on the second floor are like highlights. As a museum logo element, the Western Zhou Jin hou bird is beautifully shaped, with a bird on one side and an elephant on the other, which is very eye-catching. It is like the Shang Dynasty of Angry Birds, the cute state is cute, and the trend is returning.
Thanks to Mr. Peng for his meticulous explanation, so that I and my children learned a lot of ancient construction knowledge and historical development of Shanxi land, and benefited a lot. In the crowd of Wuyang Wuyang, the Provincial Museum, Mr. Peng took us to the best route, seeing the exhibits and avoiding crowding. Thank you very much, Mr. Peng.
The narrator Wang Dongyan is very professional. He said that he had learned a lot of cold knowledge in the original history of Shanxi in 3 hours. Next time he comes to Shanbo, he will invite her.
Guo is very dedicated, the whole process is still in the middle of us to drink water, the service is very good, mainly to explain the sound and emotional, there is a sense of affection, such an explanation is very substituting, will not feel boring, will not be the kind of blunt explanation of the manuscript. Shanxi Museum, there are really many good things, and if no one explains it, I really don't understand it. The tour guide told us through the history string, the cultural relics are dead, and only the historical relics are more valuable. The Bronze Museum is also very good. Shanxi Museum, really can rank the top of the national ranking.
