Ancient Chinese Statues
Ancient Chinese statues. Ancient Chinese foo dog statue. Carved dark green jade open mouthed foo dog wearing a collar with pendants. Seated on a base with incised flowers on all sides. Foo dogs are really lions, the proud Mother of the feline race. Although lions were not indigenous to China, lion artwork and sculptures were imported gifts to the emperor. Later introduced in Chinese primitive art, the lion became associated with Buddhism as the defender of law and protector of sacred buildings. First appearing in Chinese artwork as early as 208 BC, the Han Dynasty, foo dogs date back to the beginnings of Buddhism. Buddha was sometimes depicted on the back of the great beast, but more often displayed in a powerful guarding position. It is important to point out that they are also known as the celestial dog, and the happiness dog, possing mythic protective powers. They originated in China with its name supposedly deriving from the city of Foochow. It is said that they originated through a crossing of Northern European hunting dogs and that of the ancient Chow Chow from the barren steppes of Mongolia. Another belief is that they are perhaps the missing link between that of the Chinese Wolf and the Chow Chow.

Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Yuyuan Garden豫園
Yuyuan Garden is a famous classical garden located in Anren Jie, Shanghai. It was finished in 1577 by a government officer of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) named Pan Yunduan. Yu in Chinese means pleasing and satisfying, and this garden was specially built for Pan's parents as a place for them to enjoy a tranquil and happy time in their old age.
In the 400 years of existence, Yuyuan Garden had undergone many changes. During the late Ming Dynasty, it became very dilapidated with the decline of Pan's family. In 1760, some rich merchants bought it and spent more than 20 years reconstructing the buildings. During the Opium War of the 19th century, it was severely damaged. The garden you see today is the result of a five year restoration project which began in 1956. It was open to the public in September, 1961.
Yuyuan Garden occupies an area of 20,000 square meters (about five acres). However, the small size is not a representative of the attractions of the garden. The pavilions, halls, rockeries, ponds and cloisters all have unique characteristics. There are six main scenic areas here: Sansui Hall, Wanhua Chamber, Dianchun Hall, Huijing Hall, Yuhua Hall and the Inner Garden. Each area features several scenic spots within its borders.
Upon entering the garden, you will encounter a rockery, which is called the Great Rockery. With a height of 14 meters (about 50 feet), it is the largest as well as the oldest rockery in the southern region of the Yangtze River. On the top of the rockery, you can get a bird's eye view of the garden. Cuixiu Hall sits at the foot of the rockery. It is a quiet and elegant place surrounded by old trees and beautiful flowers. Visitors will find curio shops in the Cuixiu Hall.
The outside of the Yuyuan GardenSansui Hall was built in 1760 and was originally used to entertain guests. Later it became a place to hold ceremonies for the gentlemen and bookmen. With a height of nine meters (about 30 feet) and featuring five halls, it is the largest and most commodious structure in the garden. The name Sansui is derived from the book History of the later Han Dynasty, and means 'propitious' and 'lucky'.
Wandering in the area of Yule Pavilion and Wanhua Chamber, you will find pavilions, corridors, streams, courtyards as well as many other natural features. Wanhua Chamber is a delicately chased building surrounded by derious cloisters. Spring bamboos grow beside the cloisters. In front of Wanhua Chamber, there are two old trees. One is a maidenhair tree which is 21 meters tall (about 70 feet).It is said that the tree was planted by the host of the garden 400 years ago.
The Dianchun Hall area is located east of Wanhua Chamber, and includes Hexu Hall, Relic Hall, Ancient Well Pavilion, and the Acting-and-Sing Stage. Dianchun Hall was once the headquarters of Xiaodao Hui, a revolted group who fought against the government of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) during 1853-1855. The coins made by Xiaodao Hui and the bulletins they proclaimed are currently displayed in the hall.
The true treasure of Yuyuan is the Exquisite Jade Rock. Located across from Yuhua Hall, it is one of the three famous rocks in the southern region of the Yangtze River. (The other two are Duanyun Feng in Suzhou and Zhouyun Feng in Hangzhou.) The rock is 3.3 meters (about 10.8 feet) in height and has 72 holes. What is interesting about this rock is that if you burn a joss stick just below the rock, the smoke will magically float out from all of the holes. Similarly, when you pour water into the rock from top, the water will flow out from each hole creating a spectacular sight to see. Pan Yunduan was very fond of the Exquisite Jade Rock, and he built Yuhua Hall facing the rock so it was convenient to sit in the hall and admire it. The furnishings in the hall were made of top grade rosewood of the Ming Dynasty, appearing both natural and graceful.
The Inner Garden was a separate garden built in 1709, but is now a part of Yuyuan in the south. It is compact and exquisite, and the rocks, pavilions, ornamental ponds and flower walls offer some of the most attractive sceneries in Yuyuan.

Chinese art show highlights problems of fakes
1. Mid view of statues in glass cases
2. Wide view of gallery
3. SOUNDBITE: (English) Jan Stuart, Associate Curator of Chinese Art:
Every collection, museum collection, of Chinese Buddhist sculpture contains fakes in it. Now a lot of institutions have done their own careful review and weeding out of the fakes, so the fakes may all be in storage. So when you go into an exhibition at a museum usually what you are seeing are the pieces that everybody agrees are correct.
4. Tilt view of statue: Bodhisattva: Henan Province, Gongxian Cave 1. Northwestern Wei dynasty, early 6th century.
5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Jan Stuart, Associate Curator of Chinese Art:
We decided to be more up front about saying here are the pieces we feel 100 per cent certain about and why, here are the pieces we feel are probably ok but there is still some room for discussion and then we also put in two definite fakes so that there would be more of a ground for comparison and discussion of all these issues.
6. Close-up detail of statue
7. SOUNDBITE: (English) Jan Stuart, Associate Curator of Chinese Art:
This piece is actually being shown for the first time ever at the Freer because it is long known to be a forgery. And it is in this exhibition as a study piece. It was purchased in 1909 by the founder of the gallery Charles Lang Freer and he certainly believed it was genuine. He also purchased another piece in the gallery that is the general prototype for this kind of style forgery and he bought them both believing they were genuine. But an early director of the Freer Gallery realised studying this piece that it was a strange size and other pieces just like it were turning up in Western collections and he quickly figured out that there was a forgery workshop.
8. Rack focus from genuine statue (Buddhist stele with dual images of the bodhisattva Maitreya from Quyang, Heibei province dated 656) to fake 20th century statue
9. Close-up tilt of fake gilt Standing Buddha statue
10. SOUNDBITE: (English) Jan Stuart, Associate Curator of Chinese Art:
We have known for a decade or so that this has been a forgery. Its an extremely good - it looks a lot like it is supposed to look, so much like it is supposed to look that maybe the forgery was made by first taking a mold or cast of a genuine piece. Art historians like to believe, maybe we have to believe, that forgers will inevitably make mistakes and so that we will find their work through these mistakes. So now I think people will look at the style of this one very, very closely to see if there is anything in their collection which looks exactly like this and then they will run out and get it tested.
11. Detail of genuine bronze gilt Buddhas: Buddhas of the Past and Present: Northern Wei dynasty, late 5th-early 6th century
12. Mid view with statue in foreground: Bodhisattva: Henan Province, Gongxian Cave 1. Northwestern Wei dynasty, early 6th century.
13. SOUNDBITE: (English) Jan Stuart, Associate Curator, Chinese Art (PART OVERLAID)
On the front it is a little bit awkward because it turns out that the more we studied it, half of the piece has been cleaned up and recut in the 20th century, because when it was removed from the cave temple site there had been water damage on one side and so it is a good piece for showing what happened sometimes in the early 20th century to make a piece saleable, to clean it up. People would actually get busy with their chisels tidying up lines, carving things and that at some points of the 20th century has caused people to doubt the authenticity of that piece. But now a recent trip to China has proved that it has to be the original.
14. Pan view of gallery
15. Mid view of statues: Foreground unusual four sided miniture shrine: Western Wei dynasty ca 560

Shanghai History Museum Tour
The Shanghai History Museum /上海市历史博物馆, also sometimes translated as Shanghai Municipal History Museum, is a museum dedicated to the history of the city of Shanghai.
The museum's collections focuses on the approximately a hundred years in the history of Shanghai from the opening of the port in 1843 to the communist take-over in 1949. The Shanghai Municipal History Museum currently has no permanent home, with much of its collection held in storage. However, part of the collection can be seen at its exhibition room at the base of the Oriental Pearl Tower in Lujiazui, in Pudong, and other parts of the collection can be seen on loan to other specialist museums in Shanghai. The museum also mounts temporary exhibitions at other venues, such as the Shanghai Library, from time to time. In 2016, plans were announced to site the rebuilt Shanghai History Museum at the old Shanghai Race Club building, which has been empty since the Shanghai Art Museum moved out of the building.
The Shanghai History Museum was established in 1983 as the Shanghai History and Artefacts Exhibition Hall. It first opened to the public on May 27, 1984 on the premises of the Shanghai Agriculture Exhibition. The museum was moved to a new location (1286 Hong Qiao Road) and renamed to the Shanghai History Museum in 1991. The main museum was closed due to land redevelopment in 1999, but temporary exhibitions of the museum's holdings continue to be mounted elsewhere. Since May 2001, the museum has maintained an exhibition room at the base of the Oriental Pearl Tower in Lujiazui, called the Shanghai History and Development Exhibition, where select items from the museum's collection can be viewed by the public.
The exhibits at the exhibition room at the Oriental Pearl Tower exhibition room is divided into five section titled: Trace back to Huating, Style and Features in the Town, Sketch of the Port-opening, Foreign Settlement, Old footsteps in Shanghai.
The collection of the Shanghai History Museum contains more than 30,000 items. Of these, about 18,000 items pertain to the modern history of the city, a portion of these items found its way into the museum from the governors of the Foreign Concessions. Notable items in the collection include: Gu Embroidery of flowers, insects, and fish by the Ming-Dynasty needle saint Han Ximeng (韩希孟); a scroll by Hou Tongceng; the Golden Sutras of the Qi Bao Temple; a bronze cannon called General Zhen Yuan that once belonged to Chen Huacheng (1776–1842), a Qing Dynasty general responsible for Shanghai's defenses during the First Opium War; a big hua qian coin issued by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom; a pair of bronze lions from the entrance of the former HSBC Building; and boundary markers from the French Concession and the Shanghai International Settlement (1893).
The Shanghai History Museum currently has no permanent home. There have been repeated calls to rebuild a new building for the museum for many years, but commercial considerations (as the exhibition room at the Oriental Pearl Tower contributes to the commercial success of the tower as a tourist attraction) and budgetary constraints prevented this from occurring for several years. Most recently, the commitment to re-build the museum within five years was repeated during the 2011 municipal five-year plan. In 2016, plans were announced to site the rebuilt museum at the former Shanghai Race Club club house, which had been empty for several years after the Shanghai Art Museum moved out in 2012. Conversion work on the former club house were scheduled to begin 2016 and complete in 2017.
Until the new museum opens, the main temporary exhibition room is in the basement of the Oriental Pearl Tower. Other parts of the collection can be seen on loan to specialist museums within Shanghai. The museum also stages temporary exhibitions at other venues such as the Shanghai Library.
