National Treasures and Cultural Relics Specialist
The following were some of the more well-known experts in the identification of national treasures and cultural relics: - Mr. Ma Chengyuan, known as the "First Person in Bronze Appraisal in China", was the curator of the Shanghai Museum. He started as an ordinary cultural relic enthusiast and published more than 80 bronze works and papers in decades. In the past 50 years of cultural and cultural work, he was not only a representative of the academic school, but also an expert in actual combat, helping the country recover tens of thousands of precious cultural relics. - Sun Yingzhou (1893-1966), a native of Ji County, Hebei Province, was a famous expert in ancient porcelain appraisal. He was a member of the Fourth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Conference. - Geng Baochang was a famous expert in the identification of cultural relics. He specialized in the study and identification of ancient porcelain. - Chen Wanli (1892-1969) and others. These experts relied on their rich knowledge, experience, and keen insight to play a vital role in the identification, protection, research, and excavation of national treasures. Some of them actively rescued cultural relics from antique markets at home and abroad when cultural relics were at risk of loss; some determined the value and age of cultural relics at the site of archaeological excavation; some found treasures among the people and identified them. However, there were also cases of appraisal errors in the field of cultural relics. For example, some experts made a mistake in the appraisal of the so-called "Golden Silk Jade Clothes" worth 2.4 billion Vietnamese Dong and misjudged the fake as a treasure. This also reflected the complexity and difficulty of the identification of cultural relics. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
