Its ancient and simple body, carrying the echoes of history, collides with the modern exhibition lights. It was a cherished collection of Mr. Wang Shixiang and serves as the opening scene of this exhibition of Guardian Auction. Guardian Auction has a long-standing connection with Mr. Wang Shixiang. Since 2003, an exhibition of Mr. Wang Shixiang&#8217;s treasures was held every ten years to keep it shining. <\/p>\n<p>This exhibition is named after the inscription on the case written by the master himself:&#8221;The world adoresbeauty and splendor, I am fond of simplicity and plainness&#8221;. In the exhibition, the minimalist design of the large case conceals his dedication to the beauty of simplicity and plainness; the lacquer box with gold lacquer patterns exudes an ancient charm; the water dragon pattern incense burner, with its bronze texture, has the dragon pattern leaping as if it were a thousand-year-old flame, witnessing the master&#8217;s profound research on ancient artifacts; the bamboo-woven flower vase &#8220;Tear Drop&#8221;, with its bent bamboo strips, is a wonderful collision of traditional craftsmanship and modern art, just like Tian Jiayqing&#8217;s inheritance and innovation in research.  <\/p>\n<p>These old collections, along with the unfinished &#8220;maki-e&#8221; and &#8220;iron inlaid with gold&#8221; craft exhibits, in the exhibition held once every ten years by Guardian Auction, have become a cultural bond connecting the past and the present. It not only continues the unfinished aspirations of the master but also allows the audience to see Guardian Auction using exhibitions as a bridge to convey the dedication and exploration of two generations of scholars towards traditional craftsmanship. This is a unique narrative interwoven with the history of collection and academic history. It invites us to savor the master&#8217;s sentiments and academic warmth, and to appreciate the power of cultural inheritance.  <\/p>\n<p>The tea for today is all gone. Next time, I&#8217;ll brew a fresh pot and enjoy art with you again.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=&#038;#8221&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mr-shan","post_format-post-format-video","entry","has-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8151"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8151\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8153,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8151\/revisions\/8153"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
