Shanghai Museum Review

The Shanghai Museum has recently opened a new special! The "Bohai Hong-Tang Zhaoti Temple Jianzhen Relics and Dongshan Kuiyi Separation Fan Painting Exhibition" was grandly displayed in the Shanghai Museum in 2019.12.17-2020.2.16, of which there is a new exhibition in 2020.1.14. Speaking of the treasured cultural relics and beautiful paintings of Tang Zhaoti Temple in Japan, we must first talk about the monk Jianzhen monk in China's Tang Dynasty. At the age of 55 in 742, he was invited by the two monks of Tang Dynasty and determined to carry forward the Dharma in Dongdu Japan. The next five East Japan crossings failed. The sixth East Japan crossing in 753 was blinded by both eyes and finally set foot on the land of Haiguo Pazhou. Jianzhen opened a altar and lecture hall in Japan, promoting the Dharma, and gave orders to the emperor, emperor and royal children, nobles, and more than 440 shami, and even more than 80 monks abandoned the old commandment and re-suscitated the order in Jianzhen. Jianzhen established a complete legal system for Japan, and became the "Great Monk Capital" in 756, leading the country's monks and nuns. In 759, Jianzhen was 72 years old and converted the previous residence of the Prince of Japan's court into a practiced road to learn the commandment. Tang Zhaoti Temple was established since then. In 763, Jianzhen was silent. Many monasteries in Nara fell after the eighth century, and Tang Zhaoti Temple was revived in the twelfth century and later because of the 3,000 Buddhas brought by Jianzhen Dongdu. In this exhibition, there are treasures such as the Golden Turtle Sheli Tower (Japanese national treasure-level cultural relics) and the scale of Tang Zhaoti Temple (equal to the name of the Yubi family in China). Dongshan Kuiyi is a famous modern Japanese painter. In 1971, after careful consideration, it was decided to draw pictures for the 68-sided partition fan and the statue of Jianzhen monk sitting inside the temple at the invitation of Tang Zhaoti Temple. Since then, he has carefully studied the history of the monks and Tang Zhaoti Temple, visited famous mountain resorts in Japan, and completed "Shanyun" and "Taosheng" four years later. Three visits to Chinese attractions have since been completed in 1980 and 1981, "Yangzhou Smoked Wind", "Guilin Moonlight", "Huangshan Xiaoyun" and "Ruiguang". The above works, from conception to production, took ten years, is also Mr. Dongshan's work. This special exhibition, except for the printed text, the rest are not allowed to photograph, so the above introduced Tang Zhaoti Temple cultural relics and Dongshan Kuiyi partition fan painting corresponding photos, are taken from the introduction atlas, shared with everyone.
