Across the world today, both in China and abroad,

存世的只有二十多件

这三个琮式瓶

These three Vases in the Shape of Cong

是起源于新石器时代

draw on a form that dates back to the Neolithic period,

是祭祀的功能

when the original cong served ritual purposes.

到了南宋的时候

By the Southern Song period,

已经能够当成花瓶来使用

this form had been adapted for use as flower vases.

孔雀明王像

This statue of Mahamayuri on Peacock

all of these were used as incense burners.

古代仕女还把它放在衣裙下面

In ancient times, ladies even placed them under their skirts,

好像现代香水一样的功能

using them much like perfume today.

这件的玄妙之处

The ingenious design of this piece

站到花的后面去来观看

reveals itself when you stand behind the flower:

香烟从兽嘴喷出

the incense smoke drifts out of the creature’s mouth,

有嗅觉跟视觉的双重的共感体验

creating a combined experience of sight and scent.

福建出土的两只螃蟹非常的生动

The two crabs excavated in Fujian are exceptionally vivid.

原本是分开来的

They were originally separate pieces,

但是因为埋在土里时间长了

but after being buried underground for so many years,

两个就锈蚀在一起了

they corroded and fused together,

反而非常生动有趣

which makes them all the more lively and intriguing.

这套的文具的特别之处是在于

使用者是一个英国人

its owner was a British scholar

他翻译了大清律例

who translated the Great Qing Code into English.

他非常崇尚中国的文化

两件双凤壶

Here are two Vases with Double Phoenixes:

这件是乾隆皇帝所铸造的

one was imperially commissioned during the Qianlong reign,

这件是法国仿乾隆的双凤壶

and the other is a French imitation of it.

它的形制纹饰甚至是鎏金的部分

Its form, motifs, and even its gilded details

全部一模一样

are replicated exactly.

这是一个非常有趣的文化互动的现象

It is a fascinating example of cultural exchange.
