(原創)Since it opened in March, 2024, the Eurasia Museum in Wuhan has attracted ancient relics(文物) lovers from countries like Italy, Germany and Russia.
Yan Xuejun, the curator, explained that the museum’s 500-square-metre space shows over 400 pieces of art from Asian and European countries, 1______ around 4,000 items that Yan has collected over the past 15 years from more than 30 countries. Through them, visitors can see how civilizations(文明) 2______ along the Silk Road and how Chinese and foreign cultures influenced each other.
The most eye-catching items at Yan Xuejun’s museum are two 3______ blue-and-white porcelain (瓷) plates. One plate has floral and peacock designs of the Qing Dynasty, and the other is a replica (復制品) made in Meissen, Germany.
Yan said that in the 16th century, many Chinese porcelain pieces were sent to Europe, where they became so 4______ that European ceramic makers began to copy(復制) them. “These two plates show the lively trade between East and West and the huge 5______ of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain in the world at that time.”
What makes the museum even more interesting is that it also shares 6______ of how Yan got the relics. The most memorable item in his 7______ is a blue-and-white porcelain plate with flame and dragon patterns from the Kangxi period. Nine years ago, Yan saw this piece in the home of Peter Roessler, a collector in Germany. Although he offered a 8______ price for it, Roessler, who loved Asian art, refused. 9______ , after Yan shared his plan to return the plate to China, Roessler agreed to sell it to him. “Mr Roessler told me that he saw in me his young 10______ , with the same passion and perseverance. At nearly 90 years old, he felt returning the plate to China through me was 11______ ,” Yan recalled.
Yan, who 12______ an interest in ancient relics while studying in Germany, was shocked to discover how many Chinese cultural relics were lost overseas. Wanting to help bring them 13______ , he began collecting ancient Chinese relics and hoped to open his own museum in China one day.
Yan believes that many people, especially students and young people, should visit his museum, which is why he keeps the entry 14______ . “Even a small 15______ like ten or twenty yuan could be a barrier(障礙) for them,” he said. “I want to remove that barrier.”
