Chapter 604 Returning the Completed Bizi to Zhao (Part 2)
The little girl had no defense.
Like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, she told everything she knew.
"We have a lot of collections here, but only a small part of them are on display here, and the rest have been put away."
She chattered about the inside of the museum.
Xu Aiguo became interested and walked to Zhao Siyan to ask.
"There are so many good things, why not show them all?"
Zhao Siyan chuckled.
"Mr. Xu, do you know how many collections there are in the Forbidden City?"
Xu Aiguo shook his head honestly.
Although he was born and raised in Sijiu City and often came here to play when he was a child, he really didn't know the details of the Forbidden City's collection.
Zhao Siyan said proudly.
"The Forbidden City is the first of the five major palaces in the world. It is the museum with the richest collection of cultural relics in China. A rough estimate is that there are at least more than one million pieces in the collection. How can such a large collection be fully displayed?"
"Even if I ask you to count them one by one, it will take a long time."
"Moreover, there are not enough manpower and space to display all the collections, so we usually adopt a rotating display method, displaying only more than 10,000 collections at a time, and display them in turns."
Cao Weidong has read the information.
It is said that the collection in the Forbidden City contains approximately 1.8 million items.
Among them, 93.2% of the cultural relics are national precious cultural relics, 6.4% of the collection are ordinary cultural relics, and only 0.4% of the data are retained. Almost every piece is a treasure at the bottom of the box.
Because the cultural relics in the Forbidden City are large and scattered, more than 10,000 cultural relics are displayed every year and are distributed in more than 70 exhibition halls.
Even so, when the audience walks into the Forbidden City, they generally cannot see everything.
Zhao Siyan came to talk and continued.
"So many of our cultural relics are usually placed in above-ground cultural relics libraries and underground cultural relics libraries."
As she spoke, she pointed at the overlapping palaces.
"Each of these palaces is our ground-level cultural relics storehouse. Of the hundreds of palaces here, only less than a hundred are open. The rest of the palaces store furniture, sculptures, plaques, couplets, etc. that are not easy to move into the basement.
cultural relics.”
"There is also an underground cultural relics library, which we have just started to build. It is not yet completed, but it is certain that once completed, it will be able to accommodate more than one million cultural relics, and it will be fire-proof, anti-theft, dust-proof, and earthquake-proof.
I heard from the curator, grandpa, that a constant temperature and disinfection system will be installed inside. Once completed, it will be the golden bell and iron shirt of our museum."
Cao Weidong muttered softly.
"It turns out that the construction of the underground cultural relics library has already started at this time, so that's good."
Zhao Siyan didn't hear clearly.
"What?"
Cao Weidong smiled.
"Nothing, let's move on to the next palace."
Zhao Siyan didn't think much and took Cao Weidong and others to the next palace.
It took half a day to visit the museum.
By the time a few people arrived near the museum gate, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.
Just at this time, a tall, thin old man wearing glasses walked out of the palace on the opposite side.
After Zhao Siyan saw him, she quickly shouted.
"curator."
She ran over at a trot, introduced Cao Weidong and Xu Aiguo to him, and then said.
"Mr. Cao, Mr. Xu, this is our curator."
Wu Zongchao suddenly remembered.
This is what the Ministry of Commerce notified Hong Kong compatriots.
Out of politeness, he said a few polite words and then continued.
"A few of them are from Hong Kong City. If you have any comments, you can put them forward."
Cao Weidong admired Wu Zongchao very much and commented politely.
"You have done a good job. If you really want to express your opinions, you can work harder on cultural and creative aspects."
Wu Zongchao just said it casually, but he didn't expect that Cao Weidong actually raised his opinion.
He raised his eyebrows, feeling somewhat unhappy.
Cao Weidong didn't notice the change in Wu Zongchao's face and said as he walked out.
"Oh, the cultural creations I'm talking about are actually museum souvenirs, but the cultural creations are upgraded based on simple reproductions of museum collection graphics."
"Cultural and creative products are an extension of the museum's exhibition and educational functions. They can connect cultural relics with contemporary people's lives, aesthetics, and needs, allowing audiences to "take the museum home" and understand the culture behind the cultural relics during use.
"
"Let cultural creativity "fly into the homes of ordinary people", understand the history of the country, and carry out diversified businesses at the same time. This is my best definition of cultural creativity."
"Of course, I don't blame you. These concepts are still very few in China, but in European and American countries, the "new museology movement" has begun to appear. They no longer only regard cultural relics as the center, but shape a
The "people"-centered exhibition environment pays more attention to the feelings of visitors, and on this basis, innovates and redefines art derivatives..."
He said some things and saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye to the curators Wu Zongchao and Zhao Siyan and left the museum.
After coming out, Xu Aiguo stretched and muttered.
"It's a worthwhile trip, it's a worthwhile trip, boss. I gained a lot of knowledge during this visit to the museum."
Cao Weidong joked.
"Okay, stop pretending to me. Your heart has already been blown away, right? I'll give you a day off. Go back and see. I'll entertain you the day after tomorrow."
Xu Aiguo spared his head and said with some embarrassment.
"Boss, I still can't hide it from you."
He has an older brother and parents in Sijiu City. Taking this opportunity to return to Sijiu City, he has long wanted to go back and visit.
Cao Weidong waved his hand.
"Okay, okay, let's go."
"okay."
Xu Aiguo shouted and trotted away.
Standing in front of the museum, Cao Weidong suddenly had an idea and decided to go back to the courtyard to have a look.
.......
"They're gone."
Zhao Siyan jumped up to Wu Zongchao and said happily.
"I successfully completed the task assigned by the organization today."
Wu Zongchao said nothing.
Zhao Siyan looked at Wu Zongchao in confusion.
I found him muttering, and I didn't know what he was talking about.
Zhao Siyan came closer.
It was discovered that Wu Zongchao repeatedly talked about flying into ordinary people's homes...
She was startled and quickly grabbed Wu Zongchao's sleeve.
Wu Zongchao suddenly came to his senses, looked around, and asked immediately.
"Where is Mr. Cao, where has he gone?"
Zhao Siyan said.
"Leave, just left."
Wu Zongchao ran out quickly. When he got outside the door, he looked around and found that no one was in sight.
His heart was filled with annoyance.
If he had known that Cao Weidong had such high opinions, he would have tried to find a way to retain him and discuss it with him.
Diversification of business and innovation of museum artworks have always been his lifelong wish. Cao Weidong's cultural and creative concepts speak directly to his heart, which makes him feel like a confidant.
It's a pity that while I was in a daze, the other party had already left, and I didn't know when the next meeting would be.
"By the way, that person was recommended by the Ministry of Commerce. They must know his origins."
