Speaking of Jishou University, perhaps many people have never heard of it. You can mention Huang Yongyu, from blond hair to crying. It is in this local university located in the corner of western Hunan that a museum called "China No.1" was built.
Huang Yongyu left his hometown at the age of 12 and traveled around the world, but he had an irreplaceable and unchangeable feeling, that is, his hometown. His personality, talent, joys and sorrows, everything about him is related to his hometown.
A few years ago, when Huang Yongyu was thinking about the whereabouts of his collection of 100 cultural relics, his friend Harvey West, a famous American museum scientist, suggested donating them to academic institutions, which could not only preserve the value, but even increase the value. Huang Yongyu applauded. "This idea made me smart. It seems that this is really' very interesting'. "
Huang Lao finally chose Jishou University, the only comprehensive university in his hometown. "This is a' love me, love my dog' decision." Professor Zhang Jianyong of Jishou University said. In July 2003, accompanied by Harvey West, Huang Yongyu went to Jishou University. He expressed his willingness to donate all his cultural relics to Jida, help Jida establish the Huang Yongyu Art Museum, and donate some of his paintings and manuscripts for free.
On June 65438+ 10/day, 2006, a famous museum-Huang Yongyu Art Museum opened. Blue bricks, blue tiles, wooden windows, surrounded by mountains and waters. This building full of Xiangxi amorous feelings was designed by Zhang Yonghe, a famous architectural design expert. It is not only majestic, but also graceful and feminine, just like Huang Yongyu's paintings, stunning and serene, which completely conforms to Xiangxi.
The 5-story, 4,200-square-meter exhibition hall * * * has more than 200 cultural relics and 100 works of art, and the value of each work is incalculable. For example, a section of dark gray wood displayed in the lobby on the first floor, weighing about 8 tons, has been sleeping at the bottom of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River for 6.5438+0.5 million years. In addition, there are pottery and bronze sculptures. From Yangshao to Ming and Qing Dynasties. Huang Lao's paintings, sculptures, calligraphy and other works of art are also among them, which are extremely precious.
Since its opening, there has been an endless stream of tourists. There are friends of Huang Lao's relatives in the alley, such as "Brother Wenxing Street", and art colleagues who are far away from home. There are 93-year-old Huang Miaozi and Ryan, as well as childish Xiangxi disciples. According to incomplete statistics, * * * received more than 10,000 people in two years.
At that time, Harvey West made three suggestions to Jishou University: collection and research and development. In short, let the dead matter become the living thing. The research in this museum was honored as "Huangxue" by Professor Zhang Jianyong. He said: "Artistic knowledge comes down in one continuous line. The study of the characteristics of Huang Lao's thought and artistic thinking has also promoted the development of ethnic specialties such as dance and music in our school. " At the same time, he revealed that the next step will be to determine a number of school-level topics and conduct a more systematic study on the profile of Zhongshan pottery, Han tablet and Tang dynasty in the museum.
