Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1529 Suggestions

"It seems that no similar statues have been found among the burial objects from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties?" Zhou Zhi couldn't help but be a little curious: "It stands to reason that this craft can also be used to shape various puppets and animals for burials?"

"You're taking it for granted." Xia Gengqi is a lacquer ware expert, and of course he has the right to speak on this matter: "Compared with other techniques, the ramie sculpture process can be said to be quite complicated, and every time it is wrapped in linen, After applying the paint, there is a long drying process, repeated fifteen times, which can take up to hundreds of days.”

"On the other hand, if we look at the wooden figurines and pottery figurines commonly used for burials, the wooden figurines can be assembled and the pottery figurines can be molded. The production speed is very fast."

"Therefore, as burial objects, relatively crude puppets and pottery figurines that are easy to process in batches are the best choices. And the time-consuming, laborious and expensive dry-lacquered ramie statues are of course more suitable for making more exquisite and luxurious worship. Idol."

"There is another possibility," Jin Shen said: "After the Northern Qi Dynasty, this technology was more in the hands of religious power, or craftsmen who relied on religious power for survival. Although it was spread in the north and south, it is entirely possible that it was only The craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the affiliated temples is the same as the craftsmanship of scripture engraving, printing, and Buddhist statues in the snow area.”

After the two experts explained it, Zhou Zhi felt that his previous thinking was too simple. The study of literature and history is like this. Everyone can make a few remarks, and taxi drivers in the capital are among the masters.

But it didn't work to let them go to college to become professors. However, after the Internet flourished in later generations, those people found a market and finally got a wonderful title-civilian scientists.

After confirming that the statue was authentic, the question of its ownership naturally came up.

Zhou Zhi did not think this matter was a problem and said with a smile: "Before the Three Gorges Cultural Preservation Foundation decided to rescue the valuable relics in the reservoir area, a prerequisite was already discussed, that is, the first, second and third grade cultural relics discovered during the process. It needs to be handed over to the state. For cultural heritage that does not fall under the national regulations, but has certain humanistic and historical value, the foundation will have an expert team to grade it and collect it as much as possible. "

"This part of the collection can be used for the restoration of scenic spots in the future, or for reconstruction projects after the relocation of relics. It can also be used to repair some important cultural relics of the same origin, the same materials, and the same year."

"The Three Saints of Huayan are definitely now national-level cultural relics. Therefore, although our foundation discovered them, they must be handed over to the state, otherwise it will violate the principles and original intentions of our foundation."

"I will report to the board of directors. I believe everyone will have no doubts. There should be like-minded people." Zhou Zhi said very relaxedly: "For example, the Li family and Feng family on Hong Kong Island have donated a lot of cultural relics to the country. , and it was auctioned at a high price in the international market. If the foundation discovers a national first-class cultural relic and hands it over to the country, everyone will only be very happy. "

"What is the first national treasure? This is a national treasure-level cultural relic!" Xia Gengqi shook hands with Zhou Zhi happily: "Although you said it easy, we all know how difficult it is. Thank you to the foundation, thank you to all the directors, of course, I’d like to thank you even more for being such a lucky star!”

"In our industry, sometimes luck is really a kind of ability." Qi Lao said: "The ancients often tell a story, that is, treasures cannot come out until they meet the person. Some people are destined to encounter many treasures, just like Lao Wang, almost all the valuable Ming and Qing furniture in Beijing went to his small courtyard, and later it was passed to Jiuzi."

"You have already donated several important cultural relics, right? Qi brings luck, Qi nourishes luck, luck nourishes Qi. Pattern determines opportunities. This is actually the same truth." At this point, Qi Lao patted Zhou Zhi on the shoulder: " The future life is to be feared.”

"Speaking of important cultural relics, I was inspired by my trip to the island country this time." Zhou Zhi remembered something and said: "The island countries call their cultural relics 'cultural properties', and cultural properties are divided into two categories. One category is tangible cultural properties, and the other is intangible cultural properties. "Tangible cultural properties include buildings and arts and crafts. Buildings are equivalent to our country's immovable protected cultural relics, and arts and crafts cultural properties are equivalent to our cultural relics, including paintings. , sculptures, handicrafts, books and classics, ancient documents, archaeological materials, historical materials, etc.”

"Divided according to levels, they are divided into three categories: registered tangible cultural properties, important tangible cultural properties, and national treasures."

"Registered tangible cultural properties are those parts that have not been recognized as material cultural properties by the government but are in urgent need of preservation or effective utilization. In island countries, they are mainly modern cultural relics from the Meiji era to World War II. It is equivalent to Panjiayuan in our country. The antiques from the third and third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty in places like Daliu Shu also include the relics rescued by our Three Gorges Cultural Preservation Foundation.”

"Important tangible cultural properties are a particularly important part of material cultural properties, almost equivalent to our first-, second- and third-level cultural relics."

"In addition, some important cultural relics with particularly important world cultural value have become national treasures in the island country."

"Only speaking of national treasures, there are only 159 paintings, 130 sculptures, 2,447 handicrafts, 224 calligraphy and classics, and the rest are ancient documents and archaeological materials. Historical data."

"The island country's selection of national treasures is based solely on quantity. Whether these national treasures are in private museums, art galleries, or in city, national, or royal museums, the selection is very strict."

"In our country, the definition of cultural relics is only level one, two, and three. Among them, there are more than 218,900 first-level cultural relics in the mainland cultural relics system alone."

"This number is simply too huge. Although it shows that China has a vast territory and rich resources and a long history of civilization, the protection of treasures among cultural relics will not be focused enough."

"I think we should select a group of first-class cultural relics and classify them as 'national treasures' according to the way of island countries. They should be given the highest level of protection measures and strictly limit the annual exhibition time, exhibition location and visit. number to avoid affecting their lifespan.”

"Especially when it comes to overseas exhibitions, we must resolutely avoid it to prevent any possible damage overseas." Zhou Zhi said seriously: "If something unspeakable really happens, it will not only be a loss for our country, but also a loss for our country. The loss to the nation is also a great loss to the cultural heritage of all mankind!”

"This..." Mr. Wang and Mr. Qi looked at each other. Now that the country officially needs to expand its international influence and is in urgent need of foreign exchange income, a cultural relics exchange management method has just been promulgated, which focuses on the use of cultural relics to generate income. Change from buying and selling to exhibiting.
