City Museum invites experts to ＂treasure＂ for free.

Dawn News Network-Dawn News On the morning of September 16, the activity of "Seeking Truth from the Crowd-Public Welfare Treasures" was held in the Municipal Museum. Li Guangning, former vice president of China Ancient Ceramics Research Association, and Wang Gang, former deputy stationmaster of Anhui Cultural Relics Appraisal Station, and other famous domestic cultural relics appraisal experts were invited by the host city museum to appraise the collection of folk cultural relics such as calligraphy and painting, jade, ceramics, bronzes and miscellaneous items for the public free of charge.

At the "Jianbao" site, citizens displayed their collections in order of appointment, and experts gave objective appraisal opinions on their materials, ages and techniques, and patiently answered questions for Tibetan friends. After expert appraisal, many folk collections with collection value were found, such as master calligraphy and painting, pottery in Song Dynasty, jadeite jade and so on. However, there are also some citizens whose collections are only handicrafts or fakes. Experts suggest that collectors need to strengthen their professional knowledge, accumulate experience and exercise their eyesight. The citizens who participated in the event said that the expert "Jianbao" had a good guiding role for folk collections, not only had a deeper understanding of the collections, but also learned professional knowledge.

It is understood that the "Jianbao" activity of the day was the identification of public welfare cultural relics. Experts only identified the authenticity and age of cultural relics, and were not responsible for the evaluation of cultural relics prices; The appraisal results are told orally on the spot, and no written conclusion of cultural relics appraisal is issued, which does not involve the identification of ownership of cultural relics and the use of auction, pledge, sale, gift and inheritance. The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Museum said that he hopes to publicize and carry forward China’s excellent traditional culture through experts’ free treasure collection, meet the needs of folk cultural relics identification, actively guide and standardize the collection of folk cultural relics, and raise the awareness of the whole people to participate in cultural relics protection.(Reporter Xu Lei)
