A thousand years ago, she moved into a large hall, six rooms deep and seven wide, which was a luxury she had never imagined, and a plaque that made her neck sore. At the foot of the hanging urn mountain, the source of the Jin water, is the ancestral hall of the first prince Ji Yu of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom - the Jin Temple. On February 6, the 13th episode of the fourth season of CCTV documentary channel "If National Treasures Could Talk", with beautiful pictures and words, presented a panoramic view of the cultural relics story of the statue of the maid of the Temple of Our Lady of the Jin Ancestral Hall, and a 5-minute documentary to see the Chinese aesthetics and Chinese culture behind the national treasure.
In the picture, as the camera moves, one after another statues of Song Dynasty maids slowly zoom in and out. Perhaps, it's just that the sculptor took a look at her in the crowd, she is not a peerless beauty, small eyes and small mouth, the eyebrow distance is a little wide, the bridge of the nose is slightly lower, a timid goose egg face, even though the most popular updo is combed, the waist is hung with a silk ring, the thin shoulders can't support the gown after all, the silk slips off, and looks immature and uneasy. The undisputed protagonist sits in the middle, wearing a flower crown and a wide-sleeved xiaxia veil, the signature attire of the noble women of the Song Dynasty. Some people say that she is Tang Shuyu's mother, Yi Jiang.
In the main hall, their 42 attendants served the Virgin Mary together, and it was as lively as a big show. The female official in charge of the silver is so majestic that people dare not approach; The female officer holding the seal was meticulous and stood firmly on the side; The little girl who has just entered the palace looks left and right, looking at everything that is new; The female official who had been in the palace for a long time looked coldly at the void and complained with a stomach; The singer of the opera is smiling and welcoming on the one hand, and slightly bitter on the other; The female officer wearing a ** hat, holding a makeup box, smiled but did not speak, and did not say anything about her heart. They stood and watched, playing dumb riddles with the present people.
The delicate facial features and subtle emotions hint at the great changes in the concept of sculpture during the Tang and Song dynasties, from praising the great power of God to portraying human psychology, from looking up to divinity to gazing at human nature, ordinary people have become the theme of sculpture keen to express. Start from empathizing with the joys, sorrows and sorrows of ordinary people, and rediscover the meaning of life. These sculptures, which are based on the images of the Song people, truly record the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the people at that time, and their faces are still clear. The maid is just an inconspicuous existence among these 43 people, wood is a skeleton, mud is skin, there may be countless amazing moments in her life, and in the end only this moment is left, ordinary and beautiful.
* The final interpretation of the maid statue is: you are curious, you are calm, you are nervous, you are not a gentle and frugal sample, not a template for other people's fantasies. For a thousand years, the shoulders were covered with dust, and the images of these maids were not the most beautiful faces of that era, but because of their faces, they created a beautiful era.
