March in Jiangnan is the season for hiking. People who come to the shores of Xizi Lake and enter the Zhejiang Art Museum in this beautiful spring scenery will tell you that they are looking forward to a more magnificent, splendid, and profound spiritual journey——
The “Chinese Painting Series” (hereinafter referred to as the “Series”) special exhibition of pre Qin, Han, Tang, Song, and Yuan paintings, which is currently on display here, features over 1500 published sample files of ancient Chinese painting masterpieces, opening up an art channel that spans thousands of years for the exhibition audience, allowing the brilliance of China’s excellent traditional culture to reflect the hearts of contemporary people.
This is a 17 year “cultural long-distance race”, and now it is about to reach the end. The selection of the “Da Series” team to present the achievements of the collection of national treasures in the past 17 years at Zhejiang Art Museum has its special significance.
From 2005 to 2022, the “Da Series” project spanned four five-year planning stages from its inception to its imminent completion.
From 2002 to 2022, it has been 20 years since the decision to establish the Zhejiang Art Museum.
A museum, an exhibition. This is a vivid footnote to the growth and development of Zhejiang’s cultural heritage, and a vivid portrayal of Zhejiang’s continuous absorption of cultural confidence, a “more fundamental, profound, and lasting force”. At the moment when the “Grand Series” is about to come to a successful conclusion, we are in the spacious exhibition hall of the Zhejiang Art Museum, surrounded by treasures of Chinese art from various dynasties, and can deeply appreciate the significant significance of this work.
Taste Song Painting
Listening to the Echo of Song Yun
Entering the hall of Zhejiang Art Museum, over 3000 thin lines measuring tens of meters in length form a colorful “passage” in the air. Professor Wang Xiaosong, one of the chief curators of the exhibition and the deputy dean of the School of Art and Archaeology at Zhejiang University, said that this design is called “Millennium Echo”, implying that the exhibition is a collection of art treasures that have been passed down, connecting traditional culture with the hearts of contemporary people.
Through painting, ‘enter’ history. The rich life of the Situ people over the past two thousand years is full of vitality through calligraphy and painting. Especially the selection of over 800 Song paintings in this exhibition is unprecedented in scale, depicting the colorful texture of Song rhyme, telling the richness and length of Song rhyme, and carrying the continuous echo of Song rhyme..
