Diario del Oriente - Top 10 de Piezas Museo Taipei (5ta Parte)


Para aquellas personas que quisieran conocer un poco más de las piezas que más me impactaron en el Museo de Taipei, esas mismas que están exhibidas de manera simple y hermosa, les recomiendo ver piezas como:

1. Sancai figure of a Lokapala - Guardian King - Tang dynasty (618-907)
2. Vase with wucai polychrome decoration of "One Hundred deer" motif - 1573 - 1620 Ming Dynasty
3. Plate with green and brown dragons in yellow ground 1662 - 1722 Qing Dynasty
4. Planter with wucai polychrome decoration of flowers and birds - 1662 - 1722 Qing Dynasty
5. Set of Slips inscribed with the text of the Shan ritual performed by Emperor Chen-tsung (donated by Mr. Ma Hung-Kuei Sung dynasty dated 1008
6. Mirror with scene of children at play (from the story Yen-shan wu-kuei) Bronze Sung Dynasty 10th-13th centuries
7. Vase with the scene of hundred deer in fencai polychrome - Qing Dynasty 1736-1795
8. Curved rectangular lacquer curio box with deer in a garden of eternal spring - Ming Dinasty - 1368 - 1644 C.E.
9. Square sandalwood curio case (containing 31 curios) Ch'ien-lung era - 1736-1795 C.E. - Ch'ing Dynasty
10. Mao-Gong Ding late West Zhou Dynasty 9th Century to 771 B.C.E. - the text inside the bowl consisting of 500 characters and arranged in 32 lines, is the longest bronze inscription in the world. The first five paragraphs of the kindly pronouncement all commence with "so declares the King" or "The King declares" vividly conveys how anxious King Xuan was in seeking a capable hand to help him rebuild the state. Likewise, in the 2nd through 4th paragraphs, a series of forceful imperative statements uttered with "you shall NOT", "you may NOT", and "you are NOT to" further reveal the perilous turmoil the state was in, and the King's urgent need at this critical moment for the dedicaded service of Duke of Mao. So the Duke of Mao was appointed by King Xuan to take charge of all governing matters in the nation, including proclamations os statutes and codes, education of nobility youths, training guards, and administering domestic affairs. Decidedly the Duke was installed in a position above all people in the nation but one. In accordance with this great responsability he was also greatly bestowed upon with: ritual jade, personal ornaments, court wear, adornment for his carriage, trappings for his horses, and so on. The fact that this list of awards and rewards tops all others that were mentioned in any bronze texts clearly indicates the magnitude of the appointment.
The greatness of Duke Mao's Cauldron inscription does not lie in its mere lenght of its sublime text only. The impressive endowment also surpases all. A truly paramount treasure in all lands under Heaven, indeed it is.

Hay mucho que aprender de la cultura china, existen tesoros que se han preservado a través de sus valiosos textos, la escritura es un arte. De hecho se ubican algunos como Clearing after Snowfall (Chin Dynasty 307 - 365)...mide 23.6 x 16.4 cms, con alrededor 28 caracteres en chino clásico: "en un día claro después de una helada pesada, estoy pensando en ti mi querido amigo...dado que no podemos vernos envío mis bendiciones por escrito y lamento que no pueda saber acerca de todas los detalles de tu vida, en este limitado espacio de esta carta. Respetuosamente..."
Como puede verse no solo la elegancia de las palabras sino que igual el romanticismo de escribirlas con pasión y sentimiento, hacen de esa hermosa carta una obra de arte. Creo que podría pasar mi vida intentando pintar ese sentimiento y aun no podría lograrlo, pero igual es necesario saber que este mundo cada vez corre mas, almacena mas activos, degenera más a las personas y les evita ser jugadores o actores en su propia vida, dejándolos como simples espectadores. En estos días donde mi vida fluye y transcurre tal y como la vida quiere que sea, donde no hay mayor plan que conocer…ni agenda, ni clientes, ni obligaciones...comprendo que debo seguir frenando más seguido y permitiendo aspirar el olor de la vida, el color de las flores, el sabor de la tierra...pues eso mismo es lo único que se lleva uno al partir....no hay nada mas que sentimientos almacenados y las cosas buenas y bellas que se han vivido, así como aquellas que aun cuando no fueron gratas, nos permitieron crecer.
