Among them, the fan page of "Viewing the Tide in Qiantang" is signed "Xia □". The seal collection is printed on the side of Zhu Wenyin, "Young Master Yun Guogongsun". This picture adopts the "Zhi"-shaped composition, the left and right are solid, and the front and back are communicated with an oblique line of anger, which avoids the disadvantage that the courtyard is usually isolated before and after the scene. The mountains near the shore are lush and forested, and now there is a corner of the pavilion, and the Liuhe Pagoda stands in it, the description is simple but not random. The tides on the Zhongjing River are surging and the waves are magnificent. The mountains on the far shore are continuous, disappearing and appearing from time to time, and they are linked together and dyed, adding a sense of vastness to the picture. Although the size of the picture is small, it can see the big in the small, showing the surging and magnificent Qiantang tide. There are two characters on the treetop on the left. Due to the damage of the silk, only the word "Xia" remains vaguely recognizable.

The Qiantang tide is a wonder of the world. During the Southern Song Dynasty, tide watching became more and more popular. "Menglianglu" has a cloud: "The customs of Lin'an are extravagant at the four seasons, and there is no virtual day to enjoy. There is a lovely lake in the west, and the river tide in the east is worthy of viewing, all of which are superb scenery." All are important activities in the city tour. Poems and paintings with the theme of "Watching the Tide in Qiantang" also began to rise. This work is undoubtedly a reflection of the trend of watching the tide at that time.

According to literature records, the tombs of Pinguan in the Song Dynasty generally required "heavy funerals and thin burials", and the funeral was solemn, but there were few valuable funerary items in the coffins. However, there are still thick burials in economically developed areas, and many tombs are not only rich in burial objects, but also have gold and silver utensils unearthed. Scholar-bureaucrats were deeply worried about the atmosphere of thick burials, and wrote books and stand-ups against it, hoping to imitate ancient rituals and practice thin burials.

Silverfish bag and silver belt kuǎn (kuǎ) on display

Fish bags, used to store portable fish charms, first appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Since the Five Dynasties, fish bags no longer store fish charms, but become a status symbol for high-ranking officials. "Song History" Volume 15 "Shenzong Benji II" contains: "The fish bag. It was made from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty... Because of the Song Dynasty, its system was made of gold and silver ornaments in the shape of fish, and the public clothes were tied to the belt and hung at the back. Ming Dynasty is noble and lowly, and it is not as complex as the Tang Dynasty." Regarding the use system of fish bags, "Song History Yufu Zhi Wu" stipulates that the fourth-rank officials in purple imperial uniforms and the sixth-rank officials in crimson uniforms , can only wear gold or silver fish bags: "Zhongxing, still made by Yuanfeng, the fourth grade is purple, the sixth grade or above is red, and the ninth grade or above is green. Those who wear red or purple must wear fish, which is called Zhangfu. Non-official. To the original product, do not use fake people."

The use of fish bags in the Tang Dynasty was mainly concentrated in the Central Plains and Northwest China. The people who used it were mainly court officials and foreign ministers at that time, and they were worn on the lower left or lower right side of the waist when using it, which was an important part of the Zhangfu system.

Manchijiao interlayer silver gilt golden cup, Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) Collection of Hangzhou Museum

The inner wall is rolled out and the edge of the button is turned over; The lotus petal pattern, the circle foot is surrounded by the lotus pattern, and there is a "stream" inside.

The cup is a common wine utensil in the gold and silverware of the Song Dynasty. The gold and silver wineware has gradually become popular since the Tang Dynasty and developed to the Song Dynasty. At the same time, the ideology of restoring ancient ways and rituals prevailed, and the literati and doctors were all fond of the ancient style. In the Song Dynasty, there was a trend of imitating bronze ware. In order to meet this aesthetic demand, the interlayer technology came into being. The application of the interlayer process to the production of gold and silverware can not only reduce the weight of the utensils and save the raw materials, but also make the gold and silver utensils better show the characteristics of bronze wares being thick and dignified. The interlayer process of the casing is to first decorate the two layers of carcasses that make up the main body of the utensil, then put the smaller carcass into the larger carcass and splicing it together. The two are combined in a way, and finally be hammered and trimmed to form the effect of a hollow interlayer. The utensils formed by this production process not only meet the aesthetic requirements in appearance, but also have a relatively light shape, and have a heat insulation effect when holding hot drinks, and have high practicability. This gilt silver cup is made by this process.

Since then, the "Manchijiao" pattern has been fixed and has become an important pattern theme on gold and silver jewelry, utensils, porcelain, and weaving and embroidery. It was also widely used on fabrics and blue-and-white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty.

Driven by the Song people's increasing consumption and aesthetic pursuit of gold and silver jewelry, the folded hairpins tend to be complicated, and there are many curved flower-headed hairpins. The fifteen flower heads of this bamboo hairpin are bent into an arch, which is a "bridge style". Similar bamboo hairpins have also been found in hoards of gold and silver wares of the Song and Yuan Dynasties found in Jiangxi, Hunan and other places, or were of the popular style at that time.

In addition, there are also a small amount of silver ingots such as "Jingpin infiltration silver", "Jingpin fine infiltration" and "Jingpin positive infiltration".

Silver collar condensation (partial)

During the Song and Song Dynasties, the currency status of silver was greatly improved, and the scope and amount of use were greatly increased. Silver is used in financial revenue and expenditure, private gifts, bribes, loans, etc., and large-scale payments such as purchasing government houses and pastoral treasures are also important uses of silver. At that time, silver was in the form of silver nuggets, silver coins, silver collars and silver medals, with silver collars being the most common.

In addition to the large-scale use of silver in the private sector and officialdom, the circulation of silver in the Song Dynasty gradually expanded, and overseas trade was also widely used for payment and settlement. This condensate fully reflects this historical fact.

Wen Yupeng, a librarian of Hangzhou Museum, said in an interview with The Paper that this exhibition innovatively adopts the design of "dual entrance", "forward narrative" and "flashback", "right reading" and "backward reading" can be used, corresponding to "standing today" Looking back at Lin'an City in the Southern Song Dynasty about 800 years ago" and "Standing at Lin'an City in the Southern Song Dynasty about 800 years ago, looking at today's Hangzhou City", so that the "two cities" overlap in the same space, the audience can freely choose "from where to begin" to understand the city.
