Chapter 797 Essence Collection
When China was in the most glorious Han Dynasty, Japan was still in the era of ignorance, and the Japanese talents at that time had just come down from the tree not long ago.
Not to mention writing, language has just formed, and it is still in the stage of tribal conquest of each other, and there is no concept of a unified nation at all.
At that time, Rien, even the Nanbang at that time, could just tie a gourd around his waist and go across the ocean to Japan to catch slaves, not to mention China, even the Nanbang at that time could hang and beat the slaves at that time. of Japan.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Japan had its first contact with China at that time, and the envoys sent by Japan received a Japanese slave general seal given by Liu Xiu at that time.
After that, the Han Dynasty fell, the big names in Japan were constantly at war with each other, and there was no communication between the two countries.
Until the Tang Dynasty, when a unified Japan had been formed, they began to try to invade the mainland, and as later, their first step was to invade Korea.
At that time, North Korea was not yet unified at all. At that time, the ancestor of Nanbang was Baekje, and he was having a headache about how to fight against Li Tang’s heavenly generals.
It happened that the Japanese sent reinforcements, and the crusade of the Tang Dynasty just arrived at the Baijiangkou generation of Baekje, and the two armies confronted again.
At that time, the Tang army had only 170 warships and 20,000 soldiers, while the Japanese slave army had 1,000 warships and 32,000 soldiers.
However, the Tang army at this time was a lion with a hundred battles. It fought against the Turks and Tubos in the Western Regions, and also fought against the Goguryeo and Gaochang people in the northeast.
And the Japanese slaves at this time are actually not good, they are also veterans who have fought each other for many years in the country, but the final result of this battle is jaw-dropping.
Although the Japanese slaves cannot be said to be collapsed at the touch of a button, they are compared with the Tang army with rich war experience. But it’s not worth mentioning at all. He was beaten by Tang Jun, and his corpse was floating for hundreds of miles.
That is, after this war, the Japanese completely recognized the gap between them and the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, many envoys were sent to the Tang Dynasty to learn various etiquette systems, cultural experience and so on.
After that, the monk Jianzhen Dongdu brought a rich and colorful Tang Dynasty culture to Japan. From then on, Japan was truly enlightened and entered the age of civilization.
Later, in the Song Dynasty, at this time, porcelain had developed to the stage of completion. Before that, Japan, because of the images of the Tang Dynasty, had always used the Tang Dynasty’s way of life, and the food was also made of shoddy pottery.
After the porcelain of the Song Dynasty was imported into Japan, it quickly won the love of the Japanese, up to the emperor. Down to the people of Limin, no one does not like this kind of crystal clear, white as jade porcelain.
It is precisely because of the appearance of porcelain that Japan has its own unique tea ceremony culture, flower arrangement culture, and their special food culture.
Therefore, if the cultural import of the Tang Dynasty made Japan completely enter the era of civilization, the import of porcelain in the Song Dynasty completely changed the way of life of the Japanese, allowing them to begin to produce their own unique culture.
Especially after the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty, a large number of technical elites in southern China. In order to avoid the Mongols, they traveled eastward to Japan and brought a lot of Chinese porcelain firing technology to Japan.
And it is on the basis of these technologies that the Japanese began to fire their own porcelain. Let Japan begin to derive its own unique porcelain culture.
Therefore, if we talk about the influence on Japan, then the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty are undoubtedly the two most influential dynasties.
That’s why Japanese people especially like porcelain, especially before the Yuan Dynasty, that is, the porcelain of the Song Dynasty. Almost has a unique obsession, even more obsessed than the Chinese.
In the Tokyo National Museum, there is a special exhibition of Song porcelain, and almost all the exhibits are fine.
Even the official kiln porcelain with azure glaze, which is rare in China, is not uncommon here, and this is what makes any Chinese feel the most heartache.
You must know that this kind of Song Dynasty porcelain is almost extinct in China now, even in the Palace Museum.
I don’t have any of my own national treasures in my country, but the two robbers collected the most.
When they are displaying these cultural relics, it is simply a kind of show of red fruit, a kind of action that can sprinkle salt on the wounds of the Chinese people.
Looking at these celestial glazed porcelain bowls from official kilns of the Song Dynasty, as well as jade cong-shaped vases, double phoenix ear porcelain vases, and jade supreme incense burners, Jin Muchen just glanced at them and hurried over.
The porcelain of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, after he visited the British Museum, has basically been collected.
It can even be said that he is now the private collector with the most complete and largest collection of the five famous Song Dynasty porcelains in the world. Of course, these things will definitely not be seen in a hundred years.
At least according to the current national strength of the British, he did not dare to take these things out easily.
After all, although the British are no longer the empire on which the sun never sets, after all, after hundreds of years of accumulation, the so-called tigers will never fall, and they still have a certain influence and prestige in the world.
If he were to show off all the china from the five famous kilns he got at the British Museum, he would be smack the British in the face.
With the intelligence capabilities of the British, they will certainly not let themselves go easily.
As for the things in Japan, it seems to be different. There is no collection of all the varieties of the five official kilns in the Qi and Song Dynasties. It seems that only the official kilns in the Southern Song Dynasty have the most porcelain.
If all these porcelains are taken down, hehe, plus the urination that we Chinese and Japanese have always been unwilling to deal with, it seems that it will be okay to take out and be angry with the Japanese at that time.
Jin Muchen thought to himself that he didn’t take a close look at this exhibition hall. After all, although the porcelain from the official kilns in it could be considered high-quality products, they were not particularly outstanding compared to what he had gained in the British Museum.
So there is nothing to see. Although he passed by in a flash, he did pay attention to the monitoring pattern here.
The surveillance here can be said to be more powerful than the previous Tang Dynasty cultural relics exhibition hall. There are countless cameras, which is an exhibition hall of several hundred square meters.
And like the previous Tang Dynasty cultural relics, the security measures for the porcelain here are also very strict. It can be seen that the Japanese are still serious in this regard.
He frowned and walked out of the exhibition hall, and then entered the last exhibition hall. The exhibition hall mainly displayed the handwritings of famous Chinese ancient dynasties, or famous calligraphy and paintings.
There are two kinds of Chinese cultural relics that Japanese people like most, one is porcelain, and the other is poetry, calligraphy and painting.
After entering this exhibition hall, Jin Muchen immediately took a breath, not for anything else, but for the fact that there are too many treasures here, and they are all too precious.
The colorful jewels made him dizzy, and it seemed that he had only experienced this feeling when he walked into the British Museum.
Even when I went to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston for the first time, I didn’t seem to have such a strong sense of shock.
In fact, he was prepared in his heart before coming. After all, he also did his homework before coming and learned about some of the collections of the Tokyo National Museum.
When the Japanese introduced these collections, they said it themselves. In fact, the most precious things in their museum are those famous calligraphy and paintings that came to China.
They have collected more than 100,000 Chinese cultural relics, and among these cultural relics, there are eight items that they have rated as Japanese national treasures, and among these eight items, four of them are famous ancient Chinese calligraphy and paintings.
These ‘Japanese national treasures’ are Li Sheng’s “Xiaoxiang Lying Tour” in the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Di’s “Red and White Lotus” in the Southern Song Dynasty, Liang Kai’s “Snow Landscape Landscape” in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Indra’s “Zen Machine Diagram Broken by Jian Hanshan” in the Yuan Dynasty Picture” and other four masterpieces.
In fact, in addition to these four masterpieces, the Tokyo National Museum actually has many other precious ancient Chinese paintings, such as Ma Yuan’s “Dongshan Crossing the Water” in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhu Duan’s “Lonely Fishing in the Cold River” in the Ming Dynasty. Zhao Zhiqian’s “Flowers” and so on.
As for the calligraphy works~www.readmtl.com~, it is even more incredible. For example, the handwriting of famous masters such as Huang Tingjian, Zhu Xi, Zhao Mengfu, Bada Shanren, and Zheng Xie are preserved here.
At that time, when Jin Muchen made these introductions, he couldn’t hold back. He jumped up from the sofa and yelled at him. You must know that these famous calligraphy and paintings, even in China, can only be seen in the top museums.
And like Zhao Mengfu’s handwriting, it is even more difficult to find a piece of it in the whole country, but in Japan, you actually collect it, how shameless are you Japanese?
So when Jin Muchen walked into this exhibition hall, it can be said that he had the most complicated mood, because the calligraphy and paintings collected in this exhibition hall can be said to be the essence of this museum’s collection.
Even the Boston Museum of Art in the United States, which he visited before, is famous for its collection of famous Chinese calligraphy and paintings, but the collections anywhere can’t compare with the collections of the Tokyo National Museum.
This shows how cherished these collections are here, because many calligraphy and paintings cannot be seen in China, so Jin Muchen looked at them carefully. . . (To be continued.) Enable new URL
