The memory in Nanjing Museum





















On March.15, I went to the Nanjing Museum that located on Zhongshang East Road, with my friends Abby and Katherine to appreciate the exhibition---Ancient Chinese Lacquer. We attended there at 14:00 p.m. We chose this exhibition because it’s full of traditional life styles in the past of Nanjing, we can learn more about our home city.
We visited there for a long time and saw each artworks and wrote the own opinions of ourselves, the most interesting artwork in my mind was the “Screen with Thousands Birds.” This artwork include detailed carving, unique technology on Chinese lacquer, colorful change in each parts of the wood, all of them made it so fantastic to me, I have never seen a screen like this one which can let me shake my body because of this artwork’s charm. The carpenter’s skill is also let me feel this artwork’s fascination, too many details like the birds, flowers, jewelry, were craved on it, from this reason it also made me want to stop to have a look for a long time on it, it’s so interesting, each parts on it is a piece of picture, an artwork.
I love this exhibition very much; all of them represent a colorful world of lacquer technology, and half of them put an end to the ancient Chinese lacquer technology and other half marked the beginning of a new age for lacquer technology in China, so this exhibition also gave me an exciting influence, just because our cultures are shown so strong, it also affect my soul to become excited with this exhibition.
I love it, and also will never forget it in my memory.
