People all over the country are fighting against the epidemic. It was not until my family and friends around me were also fighting on the front line that I really realized what it was like.
As ordinary people who are not on the front line, what we can do is to be responsible for ourselves and our families. I'm happy from the bottom of my heart that the party was canceled for the new year.
I changed to a new job a while ago. In order to have a good start, I put in a lot of energy and effort, and my spirit has been in a relatively tense state until some signals appeared in my body, warning me to relax.
So I stopped reading professional books, and replaced the books by the bedside with picture albums, novels and poetry collections, and replaced the lessons on my mobile phone with music. The nocturne made him calm down.
Art is the best healing for the human spirit. In the face of stress, I need to use their power to nourish me. For individuals, this is the simplest function of art.
Humans are not machines, not symbols, but beings with feelings and thoughts. In addition to the basic physical needs, the reason why we call people, there is more important, that is the spirit. Art is the most quintessential part of the human spirit.
I will always remember how I felt when I first listened to Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 1, and at that time I thought, what a pity it would be if I hadn't heard this piece in my life and didn't know it existed.
In "Game of Thrones", Bran has always been the person the Night King wanted to eliminate the most, and Bran eventually became the king of the Seven Kingdoms. The reason why the Night King insisted on killing Bran is because he has the ability to see the past, and if he is eliminated, the memory of the entire human race will be eliminated.
In reality, the Poles relied on the memory of a nation to restore Poland, which had disappeared for more than 100 years. It can be said that without the memory of the nation, the country of Poland would not exist today.
As individuals, we have the experience, experience, knowledge and skills of life so far, but at the same time, as human beings, we also carry all the memories and achievements of mankind so far. That's what history does. A person who understands history will not only live for decades, he will have hundreds of thousands of years of wisdom and experience.
And art, as the highest achievement in human history, will tell you how brilliant our ancestors have achieved, what incredible civilizations they have created, and how they spent time in hardships. The long night waits for the dawn, and the dawn will come. This is what art really means to human beings.
Every ruler who understands politics will not ignore the role of art. Every time a city is conquered, it will also take the country's most precious artworks as its own. To put it vulgarly, these works of art, to a certain extent, represent whether a regime is orthodox and whether it can inherit the past of this country or region.
Closer to home, back to the movie "Allied Treasure Team".
The story tells the story of an American scholar who advocated protecting local buildings and salvaging works of art before the Nazis destroyed human civilization at the end of World War II.
After simple training, several experts in the field of art set foot on the European battlefield filled with gunpowder, trying to find hidden art treasures and rescue them before the Nazis set them on fire, even at the cost of their lives.
Their road to treasure hunting is not smooth. The resistance is not only from the war, but even the people in their own camp can't understand why they still go to snatch paintings when they can't even save their lives. When someone sacrificed for it, Americans also questioned whether the behavior was worth it.
Some people will think after watching the movie that the United States took advantage of the fact that when Europe was engulfed in the quagmire of World War II, it took the opportunity to move all artworks to its own country, just like what the Eight-Power Allied Forces did to China.
We will not discuss this statement for the time being. In fact, before I learned about the history of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I was also angry. How did the civilizations of the world converge in the United States?
There is a Raphael painting in the movie, which is the focus of their attempts to rescue, but in the end, it was burned by the Nazis and disappeared from this world forever.
Does art belong to a nation, a region, a country, or all mankind?
When the United States made the decision to bomb Japan with atomic bombs, the plan was to blow up Kyoto and Nara, but our Chinese architect, Liang Sicheng, firmly opposed the destructive destruction of these two cities, because Kyoto and Nara were not just for the Japanese. , they are the heritage of all mankind. The final bombing sites became Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
When I see pieces of Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Mikarangelo, Rembrandt, Velazquez, Poussin, Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh... When I appeared in the ruins of the movie, I felt a burst of happiness. It was a blessing for all of us to survive and survive.
During the Anti-Japanese War, China also sent a team to find the most experienced local antique masters, packaged and packed the treasures of the Forbidden City, and fled all the way from Beijing to Yunnan, escaping the war. The people who accompany these cultural relics of the Forbidden City have spent decades and an entire generation to preserve the civilization of our Chinese nation.
Maybe you would say, wasn't this box of things shipped to Taiwan in the end? But when you see "Fuchun Mountain Residence" and "Remaining Mountains" that are "separated" from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, don't you think that those estrangements and differences are not worth this kind of reunion?
What is the function of art?
Art can soothe your soul because it comes from our soul.
Art can take you away from the turbulence of the world, temporarily away from the flies and dogs of the world.
Art can make you truly proud because it tells you how brilliant we were.
Art can help you through the toughest times, give you hope and support in the long night, and tell you that the dawn will eventually come.
Art will show you how blessed we are to be as human beings. When the fire of war wants to destroy the artwork, to save the artwork is to save our own dignity.
