Understanding the Millennium Aesthetics of "Black and Rhinoceros" with Kids at the Shanghai Museum

Unlock a hidden exhibition hall at the Shanghai Museum with your kids this weekend — enjoy the dual exhibitions of Black-faced Qiangxi and Rhinoceros Horn Carvings, a walking immersive aesthetics class! Although the Shanghai Museum's "Black-faced Qiangxi" and "Rhinoceros Horn Artworks" both feature the character "rhinoceros," they are two completely different crafts and art categories, each with its unique charm. 🌟 Black-faced Qiangxi = "Art created by layering": Relying on hundreds of layers of red and black lacquer plus carving, it plays with "layered order" and "black and red contrast," feeling smooth to the touch and looking neat, like a "millennium lacquerware that glows"～ 🌟 Rhinoceros horn artworks = "Natural treasures carved": Carved using the natural shape and texture of rhinoceros horn, it plays with "going with the flow" and "detailed realism," with rare material and a rustic feel, like a "carved treasure bearing natural marks"～ One is the "ultimate of human ingenuity," the other is "natural creation + craftsmanship." The two "rhinoceros" characters share the same origin but different paths — comparing them while visiting the exhibition is super interesting!
