On June 15th, "State-owned auspicious auspiciousness is prosperous - Qing Palace animal modeling cultural relics exhibition" was held in Shenyang Palace Museum.
The exhibition is divided into four units: "protecting the common people", "dressing rituals in clothes", "guarding the palace" and "praying for good luck" to explain the cultural connotations of the Qing Dynasty palace animal-shaped cultural relics and patterns collected by the Shenyang Palace Museum.
The shapes and patterns of auspicious birds and auspicious animals are an important part of Chinese traditional culture.
They originate from the ancient people's worship of nature and awe of the world, and also contain ancient ideology, culture and philosophy of life.
After generations of evolution and development, by the Ming and Qing dynasties, the symbolic meanings of auspicious birds and auspicious beasts had become more abundant and unified, the shape became the embodiment of the spirit, and the thought was embodied in the pattern. Eventually it became a distinctive symbol of ancient society.
