Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, the Forbidden City has also reopened. On June 7, the Palace Museum, the National Museum of China, the Capital Museum, the Art Museum of Beijing Fine Art Academy and other major art and cultural venues in Beijing will reopen in accordance with the 75% capacity limit. Due to the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, the Palace Museum has closed all indoor exhibition halls since May 3, and has been temporarily closed since May 12.
Another news related to the Palace Museum is that the Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM) is expected to open to the public in July this year. Xinhua News Agency, June 5 (Xinhua) — A total of 914 precious cultural relics from the Palace Museum have been approved by the central government to travel to Hong Kong and will be unveiled at the opening exhibition of the Hong Kong Palace Museum in July. Among them, there are 166 first-class cultural relics, which belong to the “national treasure” level.
The Hong Kong Palace Museum is a joint project between Hong Kong and the Palace Museum, established with a $3.5 billion donation from The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. The cultural relics on display from the Forbidden City in Beijing to the Hong Kong Palace Museum span 5,000 years and have a complete range of paintings, calligraphy, bronzes, ceramics, gold and silverware, enamel, jade, lacquerware, seals, embroidery, jewelry, sculptures, books and classics, ancient architecture, etc.
The edification of culture is always subtle, moistening the “people” silently. There are often two directions for a person’s invisible and silent changes, both of which are subtle: one is downward, step by step towards depravity, and eventually decay, and the other is upward, step by step towards sublimation, which will eventually be splendid.
The sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, but I am afraid that a person is uneducated. Writer Liang Xiaosheng said that culture is “rooted in inner cultivation, consciousness without reminding, freedom premised on constraints, and kindness for the sake of others.” This is the answer from a personal and cultural perspective. A person who is often immersed in museums and art galleries is not likely to be an uncivilized barbarian. Instead of thinking about “famous car shows” all day long, it may be avoided by the recent Shenzhen woman who claimed that “there are 50 Bentleys at home” because of a quarrel with people in a parking space.
Low-level desires can be achieved at any time by indulgence, and high-level desires, of course, can only be achieved by restraint. At the beginning of human beings, it is not about the goodness of nature, nor the evil of nature, but the nature of selfishness, if there is no subtle cultivation of culture, then, all kinds of disputes must be endless. I am reminded of the words of the English poet Walter Randall: “I never fight with anyone, no one is worthy of me to fight with, I love nature, and then I love art, I stretch out my hands to warm the fire of life, and I am ready to go away when the sinking fire is about to burn out.” “What a state of life and culture this is!
I’m really looking forward to a person who frequents car shows and drives luxury cars like Bentleys or Rolls-Royces to see Qi Baishi’s minimalist brushwork and freehand paintings. The reopening of the north.The Art Museum of Beijing Academy of Fine Arts, its “Three Years and Dynasties – Special Exhibition of Qi Baishi’s Works from the Collection of Beijing Academy of Fine Arts” will be extended, and Qi Baishi’s artistic masterpieces full of auspiciousness should be able to bring cultural edification, spiritual pleasure, and life cultivation, even if it is just a little bit.
