Recently, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage issued the "Regulations for the Collection of State-owned Museums" like a spring breeze, blowing the entire cultural relics collection circle. The regulations clearly put forward the expansion of collection channels and encourage precious folk collections to enter museums, which undoubtedly marks the arrival of the spring of private collections.
Over the past decades of reform and opening up, private collections have been working silently and have rarely been officially recognized. Nowadays, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, together with the Ministry of Finance and other departments, jointly promotes this collection activity, which not only solves the problem of funding for the collection of state-owned museums, but also is a high recognition and respect for private collections.
This means that those precious cultural relics that have been precipitated in the folk and tell historical stories will have the opportunity to be more widely displayed and studied, and truly realize the "revitalization" of cultural relics.
However, the introduction of this policy has also sparked heated discussions among Tibetan friends. There are concerns that the free public donations encouraged in the protocols may make some Tibetans hesitate.
After all, these collections often carry family memories and emotions behind them, and they are not easy to give up. I think we should look at this rationally. Unpaid donations are of course a noble act, but museums also provide a way to collect purchases, which not only ensures the circulation of the collection, but also reflects respect for the collection.
So, what do we think about the solicitation of purchases? It is clearly mentioned in the regulations that each piece of folk cultural relics needs to be identified by experts to ensure its authenticity and legitimacy.
This process is not child's play, but is completed by three experts from the National Museum.
They will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the authenticity, historical, artistic, scientific and heritage of the collection. Such a process undoubtedly increases the rigor and fairness of the solicitation.
Of course, there are also concerns that the appraisal of experts will be subjective, and even the "one-vote veto" system has caused a lot of controversy. But I think that such concerns are unwarranted. After all, the team of experts at the National Museum has a wealth of experience and deep expertise, and their appraisal and valuation of the collection is based on a great deal of research and practice.
Moreover, the chance of three experts making mistakes at the same time is almost zero. Therefore, we have reason to believe that such an appraisal process is fair and objective.
In addition, I don't think we should be too concerned about the legitimacy of the collection. As long as the collection was not excavated from an ancient tomb or stolen from a museum, but was purchased or exchanged through normal channels, then it is legitimate.
As for the proof of circulation, although it is sometimes difficult to provide, as long as we can explain the ** and inheritance of the collection, then this will not be an obstacle to the collection.
Of course, we must also be soberly aware that not all folk collections can be included in the National Museum. After all, the collection standards and requirements of the National Museum are very high. But that doesn't mean our collections are worthless.
On the contrary, there are a large number of fine products and treasures in the private collection, which may not be comparable to the collection of the National Museum, but they also have irreplaceable value in the field of collection market and cultural research.
Therefore, I think we should look at this policy with an open and inclusive mind. It is not only a recognition and support for folk collections, but also an active exploration of the revitalization of cultural relics and cultural inheritance. We should seize this opportunity and actively participate in it, so that our collection can be more noticed and displayed.
At the same time, we should also be soberly aware that the revitalization of cultural relics is not an overnight thing. It requires continuous effort and exploration.
In this process, we should not only pay attention to the collection and display of collections, but also pay attention to the historical and cultural connotations and inheritance values behind them. Only in this way can we truly revitalize cultural relics and let them shine with new brilliance in the new era.
In short, the introduction of the policy of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage to collect private collections has undoubtedly brought new opportunities and challenges to the private collection community. We should embrace this change with a positive mindset and let our collections shine with new vigor and vitality in the new era. At the same time, we should also continue to work hard and explore to contribute to the revitalization of cultural relics and cultural inheritance.
