团圆

乾隆皇帝生平很有雅兴,收藏许多墨宝。其中的三件墨宝,应该是他最喜欢的,以至于他特别给他的书房取名三希堂。

王羲之的《快雪时晴帖》
王献之的《中秋帖》
王珣的《伯远帖》。

三件文物的命运如下
王羲之的《快雪时晴帖》 - 台北故宫
王献之的《中秋帖》 -北京故宫
王珣的《伯远帖》 - 北京故宫。

最近发现梵高画了三副关于他的房间的画。三副画命运相似,各有其主,也无法团圆。
BedRoom First Version - Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum
BedRoom Second Version - The art Institute of Chicago
BedRoom Third Version - Paris’s Musée d’Orsay.

我想哪个博物馆或画馆如果能搞个三希堂文化展览,分别从北京故宫以及台北故宫借到真迹,让乾隆的三件珍宝重新聚首,必定是文化界的一大盛事。从这里衍射出去的政治意涵,也很深远。

北京不会借画给台北,台北也不可能借画给北京,因为双方都不想给对方太多的正当性。香港也不恰当,台湾不会同意。看来,目前最能够胜任此任务的,是取得两岸信任的新加坡。

至于梵高的画,阿姆斯特丹以及巴黎都有资格收藏,因为梵高在这两个地方都生活过。芝加哥就有点格格不入。那个博物馆能够搞一个梵高睡房展,让三件画聚首,也很有意思。

This could be an Oscar winning movie plot. I will be all welled up by the time I walk out of the cinema with my wife. I turn around and say: "We have travelled half the globe to meet each other when, had there not been a civil war, we would have been just one province away from each other."

Haha, that's very touching.

I supposed a Da Vinci code style thriller would also be possible. Andy Lau is tasked to contact Beijing and Taipei for the arts exhibition, and he found a mysterious inscription in one of the paintings that makes him fear for his life...

... makes him fear for his life... and threatens to uproot our century-old belief.

Now, we just have to figure out what that belief is...

乾隆不过是其中一名收集者,“三希”团圆意义不大。要团圆就来一个所有王羲之作品的大团圆。别忘了在日本的“兰亭序”。

I challenge your information.

I think 兰亭序 is owned by China.

It might be temporarily on display in Japan.
