New Year has arrived, and the Spring Festival is approaching. Where is the most festive place in Beijing? Where is the most worth visiting place near our home? This small and beautiful garden art museum hidden next to the Forbidden City is highly recommended. Here, you can not only enjoy the rare "Siheyuan Garden Scenery" in the Second Ring Road of Beijing, but also see the special exhibition of shadow puppets. This art museum is the Nanchizi Art Museum, located at No. 21, Pudu Temple West Lane, Dongcheng District, Beijing. Recently, the "Dianxi Yiben: Traditional Shadow Puppets and Contemporary Art Special Exhibition" was grandly opened at the Nanchizi Art Museum in Beijing. This exhibition aims to explore the profound connection between contemporary art and traditional non-heritage culture. Shadow puppets and paper-cutting, as the two pillars of traditional Chinese folk art, have a profound heritage. Shadow puppets use light to create shadows and perform the various states of the world, while paper-cutting uses scissors to depict shapes and tell stories of ancient and modern love and hatred. Both come to life when encountering light and shadow. The exhibition invited more than ten contemporary artists and three generations of non-heritage inheritors, inspired by shadow puppets and paper-cutting, to extract the core genes of traditional art. Through contemporary art forms such as painting, sculpture, and installation, they engage in a dialogue across time and space in the garden art museum. With the help of traditional architecture and garden landscapes, they further explore the inheritance and transformation of tradition and contemporary. Every step we take from here will open up a new space that originates from tradition. Every space is a play, and the audience is the one who chooses the play, the one who enters the play, and the explorer of the space. At the Nanchizi Art Museum, the audience can open the script in the thousand-year inheritance of shadow puppets and paper-cutting, choose a good play that belongs to the present, penetrate the appearance of light and shadow, and understand the essence of life... 🧭Guide 🗺Location: No. 21, Pudu Temple West Lane, Dongcheng District, Beijing 🚇Transportation: Take Metro Line 1 to "Tiananmen East" Station, exit from Exit B, and walk north for about 800 meters ⏰Opening hours: December 19, 2024 - March 23, 2025 (10:00-13:00, 14:00-17:00) 💰Ticket price: 80 yuan/person on weekends and holidays, 60 yuan/person on weekdays, and discounted double tickets are also available

This is an era where everything decays rapidly. Technological advancements have made it easier for human needs to be met. People pursue instant pleasure, but they are blind to the eternal poetry and beauty. Artist Qiu Zhijie's solo exhibition "Mirage" at the Nanchizi Art Museum is an exhibition about hiding and revealing, showing and hiding. The garden hides poems and calligraphy that can be forgotten. Qiu Zhijie integrates his creative inspiration into calligraphy and poetry, two classic traditional art forms. The Nanchizi Art Museum has many elements of Suzhou gardens, including Taihu stones dotted in the courtyard. The characteristics of Taihu stone are thin, wrinkled, leaking, and transparent. Thin and wrinkled are the real parts, leaking and transparent are the virtual parts, and the philosophy of life of ancient Chinese people is hidden between the virtual and the real. As soon as you enter the exhibition hall, there is a set of installation works called "Love Letters of Robots". The robot hands continue to write pen words under the control of the program, and many of the fonts come from the staff of the art museum. Once we wrote love poems on paper affectionately, now AI creation, robot writing, we have become forgetful. Does anyone still write love poems by hand? In the three large ink paintings, Qiu Zhijie interspersed handwritten place names and poems in the painting, which can be described as a combination of poetry, calligraphy and painting. There is a blue flashlight next to the painting. The audience can take the flashlight to illuminate the picture, and more rich poems will be presented under the light. Through illumination, you can see more hidden poems. Only when the hidden poems are discovered will the audience read those sentences carefully. Among the exhibits on the second floor, "Anti-Handwriting Children's Poems" is a lot of children's poems written by Qiu Zhijie in a reverse way from the last stroke. Each children's poem is full of imagination, and many of Qiu Zhijie's works are also imaginative. During the exhibition, many bloggers and internet celebrities came. They shuttled through the exhibition and became a kind of performance art. Almost everyone is dressed up and brought a photographer. Few of them watch the exhibition seriously. Taking pictures is the main purpose and they are tireless. Many of them are very beautiful, and they reveal a deep cultural heritage as soon as they open their mouths, which makes people lose interest in discovering their hidden beauty. Those faces posing for photos next to the pavilions, towers and pavilions, can't remember a face when they leave the art museum, but they just can't help but want to look at it more. It may be the same as their IP. How many people can remember a few years later? During the National Day, many tourists going to Tiananmen Square were congested on Nanchizi Street. They yearn for the huge square, after all, quantity and scale often easily conquer people's hearts. They don't know that not far from where they are queuing, there is a hidden exhibition that is both good-looking and fun.

In Beijing! A must-visit art museum Seeing is believing here! Many celebrities have been here (Wuershan, Huang Xuan, Hu Xianxu, Zhang Wanyi...

No. 21, Pudu Temple West Lane, a small Jiangnan hidden in the alley. When we passed by here for the first time, many people were deterred because the artists exhibiting were not well-known, the courtyard was too small, and the ticket price was higher than that of the Forbidden City. I made an appointment with my friends again. Although it was still the avant-garde experimental art that I was not familiar with, the ticket price was greatly reduced. It only cost 39 yuan to visit this small garden. I finally felt that it was worth the money. There are stacked rockeries, a pool of clear water, pavilions and corridors, and the scenery changes with every step. Deep in the alleys of Beijing, a window leading to the south of the Yangtze River is opened. The theme of Qiu Zhijie's experimental art exhibition is "Mirror Flowers and Water Moons", which is very consistent with this place and this scene. Chinese gardens carry the interweaving of reality and illusion of modern art. The truth of nature is hidden between every flower and stone. Walking among them, you can feel life. A day in the garden is a thousand years in the world. Several intelligent machines automatically write poems, calligraphy works are like flags fluttering, window frames are full of peeping, and sculptures are in silent dialogue. When the time comes, the railings by the lake start to spray a fine mist, and random verses of poetry appear on the bluestone slabs underfoot. Although I cannot fully understand the artist's original intention, it is just some self-meditation that I can observe and walk around in a quiet space. It's a pity that there is no tea room or coffee shop where one can sit down and savor life. Such small and beautiful things may be found everywhere in the streets and alleys of Suzhou, but they may be unique in Beijing. 2024.9

⛩️ A few days ago, the teacher took us to study in the Forbidden City, and we happened to "exit the palace" from the Shenwu Gate. I found a shared bike and rode to the neighboring hutong without a specific destination, just casually. However, the pavilion building that suddenly appeared at the corner deeply attracted me. 🎑 Located next to the Pudu Temple in the southern pool of the imperial city, the independent Suzhou garden architecture courtyard usually has exhibitions. It is another world when you step inside. In the limited space, you see a replica of the Jiangnan water town, which is amazing!

The exterior of the courtyard is square and proper; the interior is elegant and appropriately simple. Pavilions and terraces are reflected across the pond; lake stones and window lattices change the scenery with every step. 🎍 The technique of using rockeries and small pavilions, and the art of borrowing scenery, adds a lot of spirituality to this little-known hutong. The hutong scenery captured by the camera lens seems to instantly transport you to the exquisite Lan Mountain in Suzhou, and this wonderful experience of time and space interweaving makes people linger and forget to return. 🖼️ Exhibition Highlights 1. Lost White Clouds ☑️ The exhibition is dominated by blue and green, representing the sky and forests. The exaggerated color collisions and mixed ink techniques in the paintings prompt people to further consider their attitude towards life. Can the blue sky be without white clouds, and can white clouds lose the blue sky? This visual impact and thought-provocation lead to a profound reflection on the environment and life by the audience. 2. Accidental Aesthetics ✅ The Accidental Aesthetics exhibition reminds people of the Gum Wall in Seattle. Although the Gum Wall is criticized for being dirty and messy, it has become a colorful "scenic spot". Accidental Aesthetics does just that, creating a colorful visual effect with the collision and fusion of various colors, perfectly matching this summer. 🏕️ Every scene is filled with the breath of modern art. Clever use of framing, borrowing, and contrasting landscape design techniques vividly displays the plants, mountains, rivers, and birds, and taking photos not only records the beauty but also allows people to understand the design secrets of these landscapes more deeply. 🛤️ Surroundings: Wangfujing Apm ✔️ Forbidden City Museum ✔️ Corner Tower ✔️ ⛲️ I quietly walked into a courtyard, feeling like I was in the south while in the north. The symmetry of northern architecture, the beauty of southern gardens, a mountain and a scene, the scenery changes with every step. The sound of running water in the yard instantly cools down the hot weather.
