Summer blockbuster exhibition at Nanbo! Endless Treasures: The Artistic Spirit of Su Shi's Calligraphy and Painting!
► This is probably one of the biggest special exhibition events in the cultural relics world this summer!
The Nanjing Museum's three-year special exhibition "Endless Treasures" is an unprecedented blockbuster exhibition
- Centered around Su Shi's calligraphy and painting, in addition to his authentic works, 150 pieces of artworks influenced by his artistic spirit from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties are all here
- Many are rare pieces exhibited for the first time, including over 80 first-class calligraphy and painting works, among which there are more than 30 pieces from the Song and Yuan periods
- Artworks from the Song and Yuan periods have extremely high historical and cultural value, and in order to protect the cultural relics and ensure that the paintings are properly displayed during the three-month exhibition period, Nanbo will divide the exhibition into three phases
►How to visit
- Su Shi was the first to propose the concept of 'scholar-official painting'!
Literati painting, also known as 'scholar-official painting', generally refers to paintings made by scholars and scholar-officials in ancient Chinese society, as opposed to folk painters and professional painters from the court painting academy. The term 'literati' here specifically refers to people with culture, talent, and thought, so literati painting places great emphasis on artistic conception, stressing 'the conveyance of moral integrity through literature'
- The exhibition is divided into two major sections: painting and calligraphy. The painting section
includes three chapters: 'Expressing the Heart and Pleasing the Mind', 'Capturing the Form and Spirit', and 'Poetry in Painting'
The calligraphy section includes two chapters: 'The Law with Emphasis on Meaning' and 'Calligraphy as Cultivation'
The chapters are interconnected, collectively showcasing the profound artistic spirit of Su Shi
►From the audience's perspective
In the design of the exhibition hall, special double-glazed low-reflection glass is used to display all the calligraphy and painting works, and soft lighting ensures the best clarity of the exhibits,
The total introduction text of the entire venue is over a hundred thousand words, so you won't have trouble understanding

Nanjing Museum is referred to as Nanyuan or Nanbo. Its predecessor was the National Central Museum, which was founded by Cai Yuanpei in the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), and it is the earliest museum created in China and the first large-scale comprehensive museum built by the state investment. Nanjing Museum covers an area of more than 130,000 square meters, which is the pattern of "Six Halls of the First Hospital", namely, the History Museum, the Special Exhibition Hall, the Digital Hall, the Art Hall, the Non-legacy Hall, and the Republic of China Hall.
The trip of the museum has benefited a lot. The explanation of Wang Yu's tour guide is vivid and interesting. He has learned about China's long history through the explanation of the historical museum, and also learned about the wisdom, continuous development and progress of the ancients, including seeing many treasures of the town hall and understanding ancient art and culture. Benefited a lot. Thanks also for helping to take pictures at the end, the visit is perfect, the photo technology is great
The last time I went with my friends, I didn't ask the director, and I felt that I didn't know anything after reading it. This time my parents came to find a tour guide. Super cute lady, the explanation is very clear.
Teacher Shi explained in particular detail and vividness, which also broadened our historical horizons, and also sent two children a small gift very kindly. It is very recommended that parents with children find teacher Shi, and will give children an extraordinary experience.
Nanbo's experience is very good, Fei Ge's explanation is patient and professional, I push! ! Brother Fei's explanation seems to make these thousands of years of cultural relics instantly alive and let the visitors instantly cross to that moment and feel the historical and cultural charm of the Chinese nation for five thousand years. The Forbidden City is left in the three major museums in China. I will also check in another day and it will be complete. 😃
