Grade: imperial grade; Value: an orphan handed down from generation to generation; Year: Tang; Texture: inlaid musical instruments; Foreign inflow time: ancient times (Tang Dynasty); Meeting place: North Yard of Zhengcang Courtyard, Palace Hall. This pipa is a real miracle. Generally, it is a four-stringed pipa, which is the only five-stringed pipa handed down from generation to generation. I have heard Fang Jinlong play once, which is a miracle among human musical instruments. It can be used not only as a pipa, but also as a guitar, a three-stringed instrument and even as a winter musical instrument. Moreover, this kind of musical instrument is extremely gorgeous, and the mother-of-pearl inlay technique in the Tang Dynasty was brought into full play by it. This is probably the most typical cultural relic in the world that can best show the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Yao bian Tian mu tea bowl
Grade: national treasure; Value: an orphan handed down from generation to generation; Year: Southern Song Dynasty; Material: ceramics; Foreign inflow time: ancient times; Collection location: Tokyo Gyeonggi Hall Library. This is a miraculous cultural relic. In fact, in terms of individual items, it can rank first. This tea bowl was built with black glaze in the Song Dynasty (Jianyang Kiln, Fujian Province) and was used by Song people to fight tea. But this method is unique, and even a large number of porcelain fragments discovered by archaeology have not been found similar.
Han wo nu Jin yin Wang
Grade: national treasure; Value: the most precious object in the history of Japanese tribute; Year: the second year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty (57 years); Texture: gold; Foreign inflow time: ancient times (Eastern Han Dynasty); Collection: Fukuoka Museum. It is recorded in the History of Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty and Biography of the Later Han Dynasty in Dongyi that "in the second year of Jianwu Zhongyuan (AD 57), the slave country paid tribute, which made people call themselves doctors, and Emperor Guangwu forgave them." This golden seal disappeared later, and it was not until 1784 that it was accidentally discovered by two tenant farmers named Xiuzhi and Xiping in Fukuoka, Kyushu.
Sleep in Xiaoxiang
Grade: national treasure; Value: the first masterpiece of landscape painting in Southern Song Dynasty; Year: Southern Song Dynasty; Texture: paper; Foreign inflow time: modern times; Collection: Tokyo National Museum. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Li's Sleeping in Xiaoxiang was written by Li, a fellow villager. It was a miracle. At that time, the value of this painting was even higher than the Travel Notes of Xishan and Fuchun Shan Jutu obtained by Japanese collector Kikuchi Xingtang in the late Qing Dynasty.
Wang Xizhi's funeral post
Grade: imperial grade; Value: The closest copy to the original "Sage"; Year: Tang; Texture: paper; Foreign inflow time: ancient times (Tang Dynasty); Collection: Funeral is a Tang model book in the main hall of the palace, which can be regarded as the most authentic Tang model book of Wang Xizhi. It is said that Jian Zhen brought it to Japan during his eastward journey. If it hadn't been associated with the two thank-you letters and exhibition notes, it would have been regarded as the only original handed down by the book sage. This post is a hard Huang Tiao extension, with double hook contour filling, white linen paper and ink, exquisite brushwork and undulating fonts. It is the best calligraphy in the Jin and Tang Dynasties, and it can keep pace with the treasures of the town halls of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, such as Qing Tie in the Snow and Preface to Long Ting, the secret treasure of the National Palace Museum.
Master Muxi's "Guanyin ape crane map"
Grade: national treasure; Value: the masterpiece of Zen painting in Song Dynasty; Year: Southern Song Dynasty; Material: silk; Foreign inflow time: ancient times; Meeting place: Dade Temple in Kyoto. This set of pictures, in groups of three, is the best of Zen paintings in the Song Dynasty. It is hidden in Dade Temple in Kyoto and is exhibited once a year on the second Sunday of 10. Muxi, a native of Sichuan in the Southern Song Dynasty, is wanted for opposing Jia Sidao. This man's painting is very Zen. Every painting is made of ink with essays, which means simple meaning and no need for disguise. The most classic "Night Clock Map of Rock Temple" is only a few strokes, which is simply a masterpiece.
Tigers eat people.
Grade: unable to assess; Value: Shang and Zhou bronzes; Time: Late Shang Dynasty; Material: bronze; Foreign inflow time: modern times; Collection: Bo Gu Pavilion in Kyoto Izumi Palace. Tiger cannibal is a bronze treasure in the late Shang Dynasty in China, and it is also one of the two most important Chinese bronzes collected abroad (the other is a bronze mirror with hunting patterns in Yongqing Library). It is 35.7 cm high, shaped like a tiger hugging a person, and has a strange idea. Like many bronzes unearthed in Hunan in the late Shang Dynasty, the decorative patterns are complex, with people and animals as the theme to express whimsy. Whether this work is to show the ferocity of tiger eating people or the harmony between man and beast has always been controversial, but it is certain that there are few bronzes in Shang Dynasty.
Unauthorized portrait of a teacher
Grade: national treasure; Value: representative works of figure painting in Song Dynasty; Year: Southern Song Dynasty,1238; Texture: paper; Foreign inflow time: ancient times (Southern Song Dynasty); Collection: Tofu Temple in Kyoto. The portrait of Zen master is called the top picture among foreigners. Many schools of Zen in the Tang and Song Dynasties declined in China, but they have been handed down abroad, so most of the Zen works of art in the Song Dynasty are also preserved abroad. The portrait of the Zen master was mainly given by the master to his disciples, and there was an inscription on it to prove that he was a teacher. WuZhun Normal School is Song Lizong's master, presiding over Jingshan Temple, the leader of Buddhism in the Southern Song Dynasty. This portrait pays special attention to the details of facial expressions and inadvertently conveys the wisdom and humor of the Zen master. This is a masterpiece of portrait painting in the Song Dynasty.
Red and white lotus pictures in Li Di.
Grade: national treasure; Value: the first masterpiece of flower-and-bird painting in Song Dynasty; Year: Southern Song Dynasty,1197; Material: silk; Foreign inflow time: modern times; Collection: Tokyo National Museum. It is recognized as the highest level of flower-and-bird painting in the Southern Song Dynasty. One is a hibiscus flower, and the other is Bai Furong. Line drawing has the spirit of five dynasties' yellow painting style, and Zhu Jin is relatively better. Both paintings are inscribed on the top left of the picture: "Ding Sisui of Qingyuan was painted by Li Di", which was painted by Li Di at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty. These two paintings were originally hidden in Yuanmingyuan, but later they went abroad and are now in Tokyo National Museum.

Its value is immeasurable. This volume was written by Tao Tuohu in the 16th year of the Western Wei Dynasty. The word is as big as a bean, and calligraphy is the North Monument School. Free brushwork, there is no such clumsy stone carving. Its extraordinary sacredness is really incredible.
