Shanghai's new exhibition has many artworks that are more moving than the 280 million chicken cup

I took a flight back to Shanghai yesterday just for the Long Museum's 2025 blockbuster new exhibition Long Museum has been open for 13 years The exhibition with ancient artifacts as the theme is super shocking There are four sections: "Longevity of Gold and Stone", "The Way of the Instrument", "Pure Thoughts", and "Endless Treasures". A selection of about 200 pieces (sets) of precious cultural relics from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties Contains oracle bone inscriptions, bronze ware, jade ware, porcelain, Buddha statues, furniture, etc. It represents the pinnacle of 3,000 years of Chinese civilization and craftsmanship. Must-see exhibits in the museum👇 🍵Chicken Cup The center position must be the Chicken Cup that Mr. Liu bought at Sotheby’s (the exhibition hall is inside 280 million sets a world record for Chinese porcelain auction The last time it was exhibited was ten years ago. It was a small one with a built-in soft light filter! But I prefer 👉Pink enamel flower pattern bowl💖 ❣️ Red Yamadi Embroidered Thangka The chicken cup is nice, but I was more impressed by the brightly colored thangka I have seen thangkas in many museums in Europe and America before. None of them have the impact of this one Gold and colorful silk threads are exquisitely crafted It is said that the last exhibition was 8 years ago. The camera can't capture its true beauty👀 🦴Oracle bone inscriptions from the Shang Dynasty (34 examples) Involving sacrifices, conquests, hunting, praying for rain, and paying tribute Bronze square pot with gold and silver inlaid glazed nipple pattern The elaborate craftsmanship represents the pinnacle of luxurious craftsmanship in the Warring States Period. 💡Han Dynasty kneeling official jade lamp/plate The only jade lamp figurine that has been discovered and handed down so far 🩵Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln celadon glaze washbasin There are very few Ru kilns in the world. The glaze is like solidified fat, the sky is blue and the ice is clear. It is the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty and also Jay Chou's azure and misty rain 🐲 Yuan Dynasty blue and white water wave cloud dragon winding lotus pattern large jar The shape is stable, and the glaze is white with green Last time I saw a lot of them at Topkapi Palace in Türkiye 🌼Qing Kangxi Five-Colored Twelve-Month Flower God Cup Each set is based on the number of months, with one flower for each month and a poem. You can check out your favorite month! Mr. Liu Yiqian himself is really down-to-earth! ! In his opening speech he said: "How did I, who didn't even graduate from junior high school, end up on this path (of collecting)? Maybe it was fate in my previous life, I don't know, but I feel I'm on the right path. When it comes to auctions, I tend to be impulsive when I see something new. I buy what I like! For the Long Museum, we are just the guardians of these cultural relics and treasures." This time, the curator dimmed all the lights. Focus on the exhibits There is a deep and quiet atmosphere The Buddha statues on the steps are projected, which is very moving. Although it is not photo friendly But it is very suitable for slow tasting. This is definitely a special exhibition worth visiting three times! 📖Tips: 🎫《The Grand View of Heaven and Earth: The Memory of Civilization Across Time》 ⏳2025.3.22-6.29 🌸 The cherry blossoms in front of the art museum will be even more beautiful in a few days.
