[Explanation] In the exhibition hall 8 of the Hong Kong Palace Museum, under the dim light, there are thousands of historical relics lying quietly: Gu Kaizhi's "Luoshen Fu Tu", Yu Shinan's "Running Script Copying Orchid Pavilion Preface", Zhao Baoju's "Autumn Colors of Jiangshan Mountains", Ma Yuan's "Water Map".
Recently, the Hong Kong Palace Museum held the second special exhibition of "Treasures of the Nation: Paintings and Calligraphy of Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties in the Palace Museum".
Less than an hour after the opening of the museum, a large number of Hong Kong citizens came to visit.
The curator of this exhibition, Huang Weijun, visited with the public, and this exhibition hall with green lights and yellow scrolls, full of traditional and elegant atmosphere, also originated from his careful design.

The lighting in our entire exhibition hall is relatively dim. This is for the protection of cultural relics. Because these paintings are cultural relics of hundreds or thousands of years, they are very sensitive to light, so we will dim the lights and open the Outside of the time, we covered it with cloth, and the lights in the exhibition hall were also turned off, so I hope that the time it is exposed to light is as short as possible.
We extracted (extracted) some very important elements in the Forbidden City, and then we refined and transformed them.
For example, our entire exhibition hall is mainly white, and I feel that the whole presentation method has a sense of the times. I hope that through my research, including the design of the exhibition hall, the distance between the audience and the cultural relics can be shortened. .
[Explanation] In addition to strictly controlling the light and shade, temperature and humidity in the exhibition hall, it is also necessary to shorten the distance between the cultural relics and the audience through the element design in the exhibition hall.
Huang Weijun said frankly that these designs are derived from the charm and unique appeal of painting and calligraphy.

I think for example calligraphy and painting, when you see a calligraphy and painting, especially calligraphy, you can see the emotion of that calligrapher.
This feeling that after hundreds of years, even thousands of years, as if he is right in front of you, transcends time and space, I personally find it very attractive.
And especially calligraphy and painting, (because) many artifacts may have been unearthed, it may have been buried under the ground at that time, and then we excavate it now, but calligraphy and painting are often passed down from generation to generation, and many people comment on the painting (of) , or how he collects (artifacts).
Everyone (now) can see and share these cultural relics, and these stories also move me very much, so I think this is the charm of calligraphy and painting.
[Commentary] As a native of Hong Kong, Huang Weijun is keen on studying ancient Chinese art works, and he is very excited by the completion and opening of the Hong Kong Palace Museum. He hopes to let more people understand China by studying and introducing the cultural relics in the exhibition hall. The unique charm of traditional culture.
