Final Paper
Title: Nanchang Relic Museum for Haihun Principality of Han Dynasty
Student Name: Yao Yiyun
Abstract The Haihun Principality presents the splendid civilization of the great Han Dynasty. A large number of precious cultural relics have met with the public after years of excavation of Marquis Haihun’s tombs. The mysterious mask of Marquis Liu, a legendary figure in history, was taken off; and the onlookers who interpreted the prosperous age of the Han Dynasty 2000 years ago were able to see the majesty again all in one museum.
Introduction to the Museum The Han Dynasty burial site of Marquis Haihun in Nanchang, excavated in 2011, is the largest and best-preserved principality historic site of the Han Dynasty in China. The unearthed cultural relics fall into numerous categories and show great depth so that they can be termed as an encyclopedia reflecting the brilliant culture of the heyday of the Han Dynasty, thus distinctly reviving the ancient principality having vanished more than 2000 years before.
Since the archaeological excavation of the burial site of Marquis Haihun, more than 10,000 pieces (sets) of precious cultural relics such as gold, bronze, and bamboo slips have been unearthed. It is the best-preserved, most complete structure, and functional layout discovered so far in my country. The burial site of Marquis Haihun with the clearest layout, the most complete sacrificial system, and the richest connotation has important archaeological academic value (Yang & Xu, 2016)
The Art of Writing in the Time of Haihun
Bamboo slips and wooden tablets add to the list of treasures left by Liu He, the Marquis of Haihun. In his tomb, thousands of slips and tablets are discovered, marking the very first discovery of the same category in the archaeological history of Jiangxi province, and making a great contribution to the slips and tablets archaeology in China.
Haihun slips and tablets cover an extremely wide range of subjects, including philosophy, politics, military affairs, history, medicine, and literature. With its collection, the museum presents the culture and ideology of the Han Dynasty, a glance at the ruling class and the civil, the beliefs and preferences of nobles, and the inheritance and development of Li, the clerical script, which are silent stories told by slips and tablets.
The Lacquerware of Haihun Principality
The beauty of lacquerware lies in its sturdy quality and exquisite patterns. The lacquerware of Haihun Principality is particularly striking, with its vivid and colorful depictions of mountains, rivers, clouds, mythical creatures, and social life, all rendered with lifelike vitality. The colors are gorgeous, with a combination of red and black, embellished with various hues of yellow, white, brown, green, gold, and silver, creating a brilliant and dazzling effect.
The decorative techniques, including plain lacquer, colored painting, edging, gilding, carved lacquer, and inlaid decoration, all showcase the unparalleled lacquer ware craftsmanship of the Western Han Dynasty. The vigorous inscriptions on the lacquerware are imbued with an ancient simplicity, fully displaying the calligraphic style of clerical scripts. With the ingenuity of the artisans, even the smallest space on the lacquerware can be transformed into a magnificent work of art. This is the beauty of Han dynasty lacquer ware as if crafted by nature itself.
Protection of cultural relics
After more than 2,000 years, due to geological changes, groundwater level changes, and other factors, many artifacts unearthed from the burial site of Marquis Haihun have been corroded, deformed, and damaged. However, after the “rejuvenation” of cultural relics restorers, most cultural relics can meet the world in their original appearance. The protection and restoration of cultural relics are so extensive and profound that we must attach great importance to it. Behind every cultural relic, there is vivid evidence of pluralism. Therefore, every repair process is a brand-new challenge (Xin, 2016).
At present, the vigorous development of cultural relics and archaeology puts forward higher requirements for the cultivation of cultural and cultural teams, especially archaeological and cultural protection talents. It is necessary to strengthen top-level planning and coordinated management further, speed up the solution to the problem of archaeological and cultural talents’ support, and let the cultural relics and archaeology be passed down from generation to generation.
Cultural and Creative Products
Chinese traditional culture, represented by lacquerware ornamentation of Haihun Principality, is the source of today’s art design. We should refine, summarize, and innovate it, organically integrating modern design art with the lacquerware ornamentation of Haihun Principality. Moreover, we should examine tradition with new perspectives, excavate and study tradition, so as to inherit, learn from the past and innovate, enhance the added value of cultural and creative products, and bring a unique and novel spiritual outlook to today’s design. Through these efforts, we can accelerate the development of China’s cultural and creative design industry in an all-around way, help to establish the individuality of Jiangxi's cultural and creative products and promote the development of Jiangxi's characteristic cultural industries (Wu, Fan & Cai, 2019).
