Exhibition of the millennium

China Daily  

A visitor inspects relics displayed at a Confucius culture exhibition at the National Museum of China on May 1. Now, public enthusiasm has been ignited for the Song Dynasty, thanks to the popularity of Serenade of Peaceful Joy, a series currently airing online and on TV which revolves around the life of Emperor Renzong. The distinguished hat worn by Song Dynasty officials, which features two elongated protruding side flaps, has even inspired people to make similar headwear as a way to keep social distance in the wake of the prevailing pandemic. Meanwhile, at the National Museum of China, people can also enjoy the real artistic brilliance of the Song Dynasty by visiting the permanent exhibition, Classical Painting and Calligraphy of Ancient China. The exhibition gathers 52 artworks from the National Museum's collection, which navigate the evolution of classical Chinese ink art since the 10th century, beginning with the Song Dynasty, through to the early 20th century and the fall of the Qing Dynasty.
