It was under this circumstance that the Bird Spectrum of the Qing Palace was taken away from Wanwan, and it is now placed in the Wanwan Forbidden City.
However, they only brought the first four volumes, and there were a total of twelve volumes of the Qing Palace Bird Map.
The remaining eight volumes of bird charts are now collected in the Forbidden City, the capital of China.
As a rare royal animal illustration, the cultural value it brings is very high.
In addition to its superb painting skills, it vividly presents the living conditions of birds during the Qing Dynasty, and also provides valuable information for biological research.
At the same time, it was precisely because the Qing Palace bird chart was originally one set and was divided into two places.
That's why in the 1990s, Wanwan issued stamps with the theme of bird spectrum to express the idea that both sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family.
The Bird Spectrum Chart has a very high value in terms of painting value, value in other research fields, and even its political value, so it is a well-deserved national treasure-level cultural relic.
But what many people don’t know is that this cultural relic was actually a “blatant” imitation.
The original author of the Qing Palace Bird Spectrum is Jiang Tingxi, an official during the Kangxi and Yong reigns of the Qing Dynasty.
He is famous for his paintings, especially flowers and birds.
Often, his brushstrokes combine Chinese ink painting and Western oil painting styles, making his works lifelike, magnificent and colorful.
During the Qianlong period, Qianlong ordered the Painting Academy to enshrine Zhang Weibang and Yu Sheng and make copies of Jiang Tingxi's original works.
Zhang Weibang is one of the early oil painters in my country, and Yu Sheng is also very good at detailing.
It can be said that the painting quality of the author of this imitation is no less than that of the original author.
In addition, due to some reasons, the original painting was lost among the people and lost its trace. The only complete bird chart in the world is this imitation.
I don’t know how that person discovered this set of bird records from the Qing Palace and was almost taken to Wanwan.
It is a good thing that Chen Wenzhe has discovered it now. After all, it has been stuffed into the wall for sixty or seventy years, and I don't know how well it has been preserved.
Now Chen Wenzhe once again accidentally discovered this complete set of twelve volumes of bird charts. So is it authentic?
If this set was genuine, how could it be left in the outer wall of a big house so easily?
This is an unexpected discovery, and through this accident, I am afraid more will be discovered.
Chen Wenzhe is very happy to receive such a large amount of goods.
The value of this set of bird charts of the Qing Dynasty is too high. If it is exchanged for some benefits, Chen Wenzhe thought, I am afraid that no one in the city would object, right?
After all, it is a business capital where interests come first. As long as there are enough interests, nothing can be done here?
Chen Wenzhe looked at the scene in front of him. It was a slow, old warship transporting a large number of national treasures to sea, the most of which were some large bronze vessels.
"How come no one hides these bronzes?" Chen Wenzhe was a little wishful thinking.
"When you have time, you must take a walk around these old houses."
This time Chen Wenzhe has finally learned the taste. What if there is another discovery?
Because too many treasures were shipped out of the country from here. Who knows what will happen during transportation?
Of course, if the set of imitation Qing palace bird charts were not taken away by Chiang's leadership, it was due to the mistakes of his subordinates.
So there are still many treasures left in the country, which is the result of the efforts of our army.
Especially some heavy utensils, such as the lotus and crane square pot.
The Lotus Crane Square Pot is very legendary, of course, because it is definitely a valuable treasure.
Because our army arrived in time to stop it, it was the treasure of the museum: the Lotus Crane Square Pot.
In the winter of 1949, the Jiang party was in the rear of the mountain city, preparing to transport a batch of cultural relics unearthed from Nanhe to Wanwan.
At that time, many cultural relics had been packed and sent to Shancheng Airport.
At the moment when the plane was about to take off, our army arrived in time and quickly intercepted these Nanhe cultural relics.
Among them, the treasure of Nanhe Museum is the Lotus and Crane Square Pot.
The Lotus Crane Square Pot was invented in 1923. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 1,395 Three Treasures in the Sea
It was discovered that Li Rui, a retired military officer, was cultivating the fields next to his home when he suddenly noticed that his hoe struck something hard.
So, hoeing turned into digging. If you didn't dig, you wouldn't know that there was actually a huge ancient tomb under his family's land.
Later it was excavated and found to contain countless treasures.
At this time, Beiyang Army Division Commander Jin Yun'e came here for a visit.
He was already very interested in antiquities, and when he heard that a large number of treasures from the Spring and Autumn Period had been unearthed from Li Rui's home, he couldn't help but be moved.
He reported the matter to Wu Peifu, the person in charge of Nanhe at the time, overnight.
In this way, all the antiquities discovered by Li Rui were accepted by the National Government.
The place where Li Rui excavated was called the Tomb of Zheng Gong.
There is an old saying in Nanhe that "without Zheng Gong's Tomb, there would be no Nanhe Museum".
It can be seen that the cultural value of this batch of unearthed cultural relics is very high.
Among them, the Lotus Crane Square Pot is the most eye-catching.
What was excavated in the tomb was a pair. According to archaeological research, they should be the burial objects of a certain king of the Zheng Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The Lotus and Crane Square Pot embodies the mature process of bronze manufacturing in the Spring and Autumn Period, and also focuses on the aesthetics of bronzes in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Its shape is that there is a crane directly above, and the mouth of the pot below the crane spreads out in the shape of petals, just like a crane standing on a lotus, exquisite and graceful.
The body of the pot is pear-shaped, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with curled-up mythical beasts carved around it.
The bottom of the pot is supported by two dragons, with smooth and elegant lines.
The mythological and cultural thoughts of the time condensed by these mythical beasts are fully reflected in the Lotus Crane Square Pot.
It also shows the more liberal social style of the Spring and Autumn Period after breaking away from the Yin and Zhou culture.
This pair of lotus and crane square pots are not exactly the same, but have subtle differences.
The lotus and crane square pot placed in the Forbidden City is relatively longer than the lotus and crane square pot in the Nanhe Museum, but the error does not exceed two centimeters.
As a treasure of the museum, the Lotus Crane Square Pot has also received national attention.
In 2002, the Lotus Crane Square Pot was explicitly ordered by the state to be one of the first batch of cultural relics prohibited from being exhibited abroad, which shows its high status.
This is of course the reason why leaders Chiang wanted to take Nanhe cultural relics, especially the Lotus Crane Square Pot, to Wanwan.
If our army had not arrived in time, perhaps Nanhe would have lost another batch of cultural treasures.
The reason why I thought of this treasure was because Chen Wenzhe accidentally saw a large number of bronze wares just now.
And among this batch of bronzes, there seem to be several important ones.
They all go directly to the sea by water, and among them is the famous Mao Gong Ding.
The Da Yu Ding, Mao Gong Ding and Dake Ding were collectively known as the "Three Treasures of the Sea" in the late Qing Dynasty.
They are one of the largest bronze vessels from the Western Zhou Dynasty that have been seen so far and have many inscriptions.
It is also a typical style of large and medium-sized tripods in the early Western Zhou Dynasty.
