Bronze, the alloy of copper and tin, was first smelted by China people in the Neolithic Age at the end of primitive society. According to legend, the battle of Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor Chiyou, was fought with copper. The so-called bronze head of the Chiyou tribe is actually that its weapons far exceed each other. If the Huangdi tribe did not use the method of flooding in the end, the history of the nation might be written separately. Therefore, bronze products have been used for more than 5000 years. Stepmother Wu Ding, son Ding Long and Da Dingyu in the National Museum are all cultural relics of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and they are the heavyweights of the country. They can be called the Taishan Beidou of our family. Together with other bronzes, they created the glory of China bronze culture.
Calligraphy is an art that goes hand in hand with Chinese characters. Like Chinese painting, it is a unique artistic wonder of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. The ancients said: "handwriting is also a boundary;" Beauty is also a person. " The National Museum's calligraphy art exhibits cover Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, Wen Tao, brick carvings, seals, coins, documents, classics, rubbings and a large number of masterpieces of calligraphers in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, with more than 30,000 exhibits. Ancient calligraphy is not only a cultural heritage that can be displayed, but also has a very strong guiding and educational role for future generations.
Furniture reflects people's living habits and visual aesthetics in different historical periods. Ancient wooden furniture is perfectly combined with carving art, so it is called Damei woodwork. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the furniture in China was mainly rosewood, rosewood and yellow gorgeous wood, which were often simple in shape, beautiful in line angle and exquisite in craftsmanship. After visiting the furniture exhibition of the National Museum, it suddenly occurred to me that the practicality of our household appliances has obviously increased, but the artistry is seriously lacking. This is a regret that the traditional folk culture is becoming increasingly mediocre.
For generations of China people, the core belief is human belief, such as the legendary Pangu Tiankai, the Goddess of Heaven, Kuafu's Day by Day, Nine-Day Shooting Sculpture, Jingwei's Reclamation, the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon's Drilling for Fire, Shennong's Taste of Herbs, Dayu's Water Control, and Gong Yu's Moving Mountains. Are the great forces that eulogize the people's conquest of nature. Humans can change nature and create history; Of course, the fall and loss of people, especially some rulers of class society, may also cause ups and downs in history, thus hindering the progress of mankind itself and the development of the country and the nation. Visiting exhibitions and reviewing history, I always feel that China people should never forget those great men and heroes who struggled for their own prosperity in history, and should make their lofty souls, who are not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, determined to create and strive hard, become our eternal national spirit, that is, soul of china.
