On October 7, as the prelude to the 90th anniversary of Chongqing University, the opening ceremony of Chongqing University Museum was ceremoniously held in Huxi campus. A number of domestic and foreign experts in the field of culture and Museum, including the deputy director of the National Museum and the director of the Three Gorges Museum of China, attended the ceremony.
According to the report, in the museum, which cost more than 6.7 million yuan, all the collections were donated by Wu Yingqi, a professor and famous collector of Chongqing University, "fully showing the development vein and traditional cultural charm of Chinese classical plastic arts."
The collection was donated by enthusiastic collectors and won by so many heavyweights, which is a celebration. However, some people wanted to add blocks to the crowd. Within a few days after the opening of the museum, they took their cameras to the scene.
This is a wonderful trip, and I really found a lot of fun.
For example, six drive modified version of the bronze chariots and horses of the mausoleum of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty.
It is mentioned in Shangshu, Chunqiu and Shiji that there are six horses in the car of Emperor Zhou. But the real "emperor driving six" only unearthed in Luoyang, Henan Province in the history of a really rotten East Zhou Dynasty real horse remains, six horses are in a row.
This version of Chongqing is good. There are six horses in the front four and two in the back. The horsepower is strong. There are two more than the Qin Emperor's car. In case of lack of power, it can't catch up with 5g's rapid development.
There is also time travel hanging blue version of Tri Color Tang Dynasty.
The so-called tricolor is to paint three kinds of colors on the white pottery tire, mainly yellow, green and white. Of course, there are also ochre, blue and purple. Although it's a bit monotonous, the painted blue is not too abrupt.
But the problem lies in this blue. According to professionals, the blue on it is actually "ocean blue", a chemical material imported from Germany, Japan and other developed countries of chemical dyestuff industry in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.
A terracotta figure unearthed in the Tang Dynasty accidentally dyed with the glaze of the Qing Dynasty, which is estimated to be the work of the working people in the 21st century.
The best is this, the twin brother of the 3D printing version of Guobao Siyang fangzun.
To what extent is the cow? Siyang fangzun unearthed in the tanhe site in Ningxiang County, Hunan Province in 1938 is a bronze sacrificial utensil in the late Shang Dynasty. It adopts the method of mold casting + casting + welding. It is called "the ultimate bronze model" by the history circle and ranks among the top ten national treasures handed down.
The mold casting method is simply to make a ceramic shell, called a ceramic mold, and then pour in the copper liquid. After the copper liquid solidifies, break the internal and external ceramic molds and take out the cast copper ware. Therefore, a pottery fan can only cast a bronze ware. It is impossible to have two bronzes that are exactly alike.
And Beijing Guobo, thousands of miles away, happens to have one.
As for the others, there are various kinds of blue and white pots, tortoises inlaid with synthetic Turquoise and unknown synthetic gemstones, and painted figurines made of silica gel.
The experts were amused by the mixture of gifts. According to a cultural relic expert who didn't want to be named, "it basically looks like fakes. From the photos posted, it looks like a low imitation. Generally, anyone who has a little knowledge of this field knows that it is fake, and even the imitations are fake. "
There is even a "competition" in the antique circle: everyone goes to see who can pick out a real thing in the museum. "If it was a game, no one would win."
For the major, not only lost face, but also lost money. After spending 6.7 million yuan, the graduates from the major of cultural relics and museums are not allowed to be questioned about their academic level.
But for Professor Wu, it's not a loss to donate so much.
Before the museum was built, it got the cultural relic certificate of "inlaid with gold" for free. As early as 2015, Chongqing University invited domestic experts in museum construction and cultural relics to evaluate Professor Wu's works. According to the experts, Professor Wu's collection is complete in variety and large in quantity, and some of them are of high value.
It also creates the social value of double share. According to surging reports, Professor Wu, the donor, is the father and son of the curator of the major museum, while the curator of the museum is the daughter of the donor, the sister of the curator.
Compared with these gains, what is the construction cost of 6.7 million yuan? After all, it's a family affair, so clear why.

Although it was a sweep of civilization this time, it somehow controlled the loss. 6.7 million yuan went out and replaced a dignified and elegant building. After all, the collection was not purchased with money. After the site was cleaned up, you can also make an assembly hall.
The worst are those poor people who pay a lot of money to buy a lot of fake collections.
On July 7, 2013, Ma Boyong published a blog post called "Young Ma's fantastic history drifting journey", describing the collection of Lei people's forgeries in jibaozhai Museum, making this magical Museum fire.
This museum is located in the South Bank of Hengshui Lake, covering an area of 60 mu. The main museum is divided into four floors, three floors above the ground and one floor underground. The main building area is 14000 square meters, with a known investment of 54 million yuan. Among them, the collection is also devoted to the whole life of a local village secretary, known as 40000 pieces.
What's the concept of 40000 pieces? It's almost the same as the daily exhibition of the Forbidden City. How much cattle should there be in this collection?
There is a cute red dragon shaped jade pot in Hongwu Period of Ming Dynasty, with big eyes like a bronze bell.
There are also malicious selling cute Qing Dynasty eight treasure double eared bottles.
Jin Dynasty three British war Zhao Yunkui mouth plate.
Even the blue and white figure porcelain made by Emperor Yan (Shennong), as the treasure of Zhenguan, shows the superb firing technology that our ancestors had mastered in the Neolithic Age 4000 years ago.
Fortunately, it didn't work hard at that time. If we catch up with the great age of Internet e-commerce, the construction funds of this museum can be cut down by more than half.
Of course, the museum received the attention of major mainstream media immediately after its exposure. In the end, the farce ended with the closure of the private museum, and for the curator himself, it would not be too much to lose all his wealth.
But don't underestimate the imagination of working people. We have learned from the valuable experience and lessons of our predecessors. The things we spend money on are expensive and unreliable. Some people simply make them by themselves.
In Hebei Province, fan Haiting, a farmer entrepreneur, built an Oriental giant tortoise garden with unique local natural resources, which is known as the replica of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.
There is not only the grinning Dragon King of Beihai;
There are seafloor warriors who roar up to the sky and whose race is unknown;
The most harmonious one is the sea lion performing in front of the Dragon King. It is a beautiful and prosperous scene.
It's amazing that the creativity of the working people is indeed unlimited.

Cultural relics identification is risky, and museums are not easy to do.
With so much money invested, we have to find a way to recover the cost of buying cultural relics and building stadiums. Although the road ahead is difficult, there will always be someone who can find another way to find a "shortcut to the South".
Someone has been eyeing the serious cultural relics in the museum.
Mr. Xiao Yuan used to be the director of the library of Guangzhou Academy of fine arts. This library not only collects books, but also hundreds of famous paintings and calligraphers such as Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian. One day when he was touring the exhibition hall, he found that a picture didn't look right, and the original was replaced by someone.
At this time, there are two ways in front of the curator: one is to call the police immediately to recover the loss and trace the whereabouts of the real painting; the other is to conceal the facts and pretend that nothing happened.
Surprisingly, President Xiao chose the third way, seeking wealth and danger.
"Monk, I can't touch it?"
Taking advantage of his position, director Xiao secretly assigned a complete set of keys to the library's collection of paintings, stole 143 collections with a total value of more than 100 million for copying, and then put the fake paintings back.
According to him, he believed that these works would always be collected in the library, and at that time he was the only one who knew art in the library. "Other people didn't understand them, but only counted them, so he kept himself in prison for 10 years and was just discovered."
As for the real paintings that have been replaced, others trade secretly, but President Xiao walked into the auction house in a big way.
From 2004 to 2011, Xiao Yuan successively auctioned some of his paintings and calligraphy works. More than 100 of these real paintings have been sold by Xiao Yuan's auction company, with a price of more than 30 million yuan. According to the prosecution, the remaining paintings are valued at more than 70 million yuan. Add up to a billion...
It was not until an auction in Hong Kong that alumni of Guangmei found that a painting had Guangmei's seal on it that they reported it to the school. When Guangmei finally returned to the police, there were only 18 paintings and calligraphy that director Xiao didn't sell.
Xiao Yuan said that some of the 18 paintings were rejected by the auction company because they were fakes, and others were sold at a high price. What's funny is that many of the paintings that curator Xiao sold were copied by himself, instead, they were sold as authentic works by the auction house.
It also inspired others that the phenomenon of turnovers did not stop before and after he took office. In the trial, President Xiao gave an example of the painting he had copied ten years ago, which had been turned over again in the evidence provided by the police.
"Because of the poor painting skills, I can see it at a glance."

High profile auction, donation, a lot of money have been washed away, but also pulled out by professionals and the media to flog the corpse. What do you think these local tyrants and folk collectors want? Is not enough money to spend, or simply to find themselves uncomfortable?
In fact, people are not stupid.
Not only can we sell high-quality imitations and stock up, but also we can do part-time cultural relic appraisal. It's not too cool for athletes to be referees.
There are still many people in the middle.
For example, the so-called "national treasure Gang". In terms of the collection circle, it is a group of people who use a small amount of money to pick up and buy a large number of national treasures. Or high-profile donations, or to fight with people, how eye-catching how to come.
For example, when Yuan Qinghua Guiguzi went down the mountain, he sold more than 200 million pieces at the auction, and the world couldn't find several of them. He could make 100 pieces; in the Ming Dynasty, Chenghua doucai chicken bowl cup, he sold 280 million pieces at the auction. He had 200 pieces of his own and a set of dolls version. Selling and donating, just like the big sale in the vegetable market, is that there are many goods.
Like gambling stones, these "big money" donors are selling a yell. Identification, circulation, auction, purchase and so on, each step of the upstream and downstream is spread over their own industries. You may earn blood, but they must not lose.
If I meet a real one, I just don't believe your certificate. How can you identify it for me? Turn left when you go out, the door of the quantum Cultural Relics Identification Center is open to you.
