Steps into the long history of Lingnan. Time passes to 1757, when Emperor Qianlong issued an imperial edict of "one port for trade", which allowed Guangzhou to monopolize China's maritime trade for nearly a century. Under this unique background of the times, the artworks produced in Guangdong are not only sold overseas, but each work vividly demonstrates the charm of traditional Chinese culture and the local aesthetic taste of Guangdong, while also cleverly integrating the exotic western style. The style has formed a unique artistic style.
This "Image of Lingnan" exhibition is inspired by a precious export oil painting in the museum's collection. This painting was carefully created by Lin Gua, an outstanding export painter in the Qing Dynasty, or Lu Maoguan, whose studio was one of the four major merchants. With this as the main line, the performance vividly reproduces the prosperous history and turbulent years of Guangzhou Thirteenth Line through diversified performance forms such as situation drama, Cantonese opera, Cantonese opera, and dance.
It is worth mentioning that the exhibition not only specially displays the video of the recently restored Qing Dynasty gilt copper and enamel gourd-style three-star longevity and flower clock, allowing the audience to take a sneak peek and appreciate the exquisite design and ingenuity of the clock up close; During the performance, melodious folk music performances and elegant fan dances were also interspersed, and an interactive link of "Cantonese English" was specially set up, which vividly demonstrated the unique customs of the Lingnan people who skillfully integrated English into their local language and culture.
This summer, "Guangdong Expo Night", with its unique charm, presented the audience with a feast of Chinese and foreign cultures on seven hot summer nights. Here, we seem to have crossed time and space, having a dialogue with the art of ancient Rome, and experienced a handshake between Chinese and Italian cultures that spanned thousands of years; we traveled through the time of the British Arts and Crafts Movement, singing the praises of beauty; we listened to music, appreciated paintings, and drank tea with Ruan Yuan's family. Celebrate elegance together; on the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day, read the Book of Songs and long for the purest and most beautiful emotions; travel around the world by riding the wind and waves with the export wallpaper of the Qianlong farming and trade map of the Qing Dynasty; and finally, under the bright light and shadow of tonight's "Lingnan Image" , the long-dusted past of Guangzhou Shisanhang slowly unfolds, like a delicately painted historical picture. The once prosperous commercial port scene not only outlines vivid trade scenes, but also conveys It reflected the spirit of openness, tolerance and tolerance of all rivers in that era.
