64 first-class cultural relics were presented to the audience on the occasion of China's Maritime Day, with many exhibited throughout the night at the Maritime Museum
Today is China Maritime Day, marking the opening of the "Yangtze River and Ocean Civilization - Archaeological Cultural Relics Exhibition" with the largest number of first-class cultural relics, the heaviest proportion of precious cultural relics, and the widest range of exhibitors since the opening of the China Maritime Museum.
"It's the first time I've received such a long explanation, and even after simplification, it would take over 10000 words!"
On the morning of July 10th at around 8 o'clock, with less than two hours left before the exhibition, the tour guides of the China Maritime Museum, Xu Ming and Du Liye, were still memorizing their speeches. This was also the first time in Xu Ming's 8 years of work that he had seen so many level cultural relics in an exhibition.
"In fact, I have been memorizing the explanation draft all night for several days, but I am always afraid of making mistakes during the explanation, so I came to the site early this morning to actually walk a few times. Each cultural relic exhibited this time is the treasure of each exhibition hall, especially when it comes to the explanation of cultural relics, a wrong word will have a big difference in meaning. The audience treats us as' history books', and we have to be responsible to the audience."
Treat the other person as an audience and passionately explain each exhibit.
It is reported that this exhibition is based on 34 major archaeological discoveries related to the Yangtze River and marine civilization, including the Sanxingdui Site, the Mawangdui Han Tomb, the Zeng Marquis Yi Tomb, the Haihun Marquis Tomb, the Jinsha Site, the Zhu Ran Tomb, the Sui Yang Emperor Tomb, and the sunken ship "Changjiang Estuary No. 2", to demonstrate the blending process from the Yangtze River to the ocean from the Neolithic Age to the present.
The exhibition showcases 180 high-quality cultural relics, including 64 first-class cultural relics, and a large number of national treasure level cultural relics are being exhibited in Shanghai for the first time. The "Wuwang Fuchai Sword" and "Yuewang Luying Sword" will be exhibited on the same stage. The only remaining bronze statue from the Shang Dynasty in China, the most distinctive bronze human head statue from the Sanxingdui Site, the "Jizha Hanging Sword Picture" lacquer plate from the Zhu Ran Tomb that is permanently banned from overseas exhibitions, the star cultural relic of the second season of the "National Treasure", the "Eastern Han Salt Making Portrait Brick", and the largest national treasure level cultural relic discovered so far, such as the "Guangnan Feathered Man Boat Pattern Copper Drum", will be gathered together.
The Sanxingdui Museum has a collection of cultural relics, bronze human portraits.
The bronze statue of the Shang Dynasty is a cultural relic in the collection of Hunan Museum.
Holding this "Yangtze River and Marine Civilization" themed exhibition in Shanghai, where rivers and seas intersect, is not only a retrospective of the glorious process of material and cultural exchange and interaction between the Yangtze River and its coastal areas; It also looks forward to the Yangtze River becoming an important link connecting the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road.
This exhibition will continue until October 8th.
