Recently, the person we interviewed is Liu Peng, an old Beijing. In his professional career, he worked as an art worker and worked as a community policeman. In addition to reminiscing about the profession he has been engaged in, he talked about his ink-blowing alley in the heart of the two-hour chat. I think it was because it gave too much The blood and youth, like the long-suffering family, have already integrated the bones and heart of this tall man, so the spirit and the thick voice.
In this interview, we were in the coffee shop. We had a telephone conversation before. I learned that Mr. Liu Peng has published two books about the old photos of Beijing. He is a monograph based on old photos. Not long ago, he accepted it. The CCTV "I Have Heirloom" program invites and displays the old photos, old maps and recently created Chinese paintings that have been collected for many years, and introduces a collection of paintings and paintings to express their artistic views. After shaking hands with each other, they are seated. Mr. Liu Peng handed me the newly published book and two sets of old Beijing photo postcards. There is a paragraph on the cover of the book that is worth recalling: the photo is warm when it is yellowed; It is.
Full of temperament, let the picture conflict and be human
Kangaroo Show: Mr. Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I have always maintained that spirit. I heard that you have just finished a program, and the public’s interest in you is constantly rising.
Mr. Liu Peng: Yes, it should be the first issue of No. 9 "I have a family heirloom". Speaking of a long time no see, but not! I retired last year, so I am enjoying my leisure time now, haha. I originally wanted to talk about my ink alley, but since the theme of this program is about Beijing's central axis, I have restricted some content, but my old photo collection and old map have become hot spots for the show. A few old photos and two out-of-print old maps come in handy. There is also a beaten song, which is my father's book. That paragraph is just a matter of family style. I introduced that my parents are teachers. My father taught aesthetics and published a book on the basics of aesthetic education. Tens of thousands of books, accompanied by music, my father's book is displayed on the big screen, and I am happy to go back to my father. And I want to say that the content of the ink alley has not been broadcast.
Kangaroo Show: You collected old photos many years ago, and still continue now. Remember when you opened more than 10 million hits on Sina.com?
Mr. Liu Peng: The old photos are still closed, but they are less. The old photo collection market has been operating for more than a decade, and there are fewer and fewer valuable photos on the market. Speaking of Sina blog breaking through 30 million. However, there have been more troubles with it. During the period, I also played a copyright lawsuit because of the reprinted photos. That person is professional to eat this copyright lawsuit, the lawsuit did not win, it is a collection and sharing on the road to spend a tuition. I have a process of collecting, old things, old photos, and then making old photos. You see a lot of old photos on the Internet, and most of them should come from me. It is a kind of contact between the collection and the Internet. In 2013, the Xuannan Cultural Museum hosted “Into the Dust of Memory” to showcase more than a hundred old objects that are closely related to the people. I provided the collection for the exhibition, which is a successful cooperation with the museum. After that, Beijing Youth Publishing House published two sets of postcards, "Old Beijing City" and "Old Beijing Folk Customs", which are the two sets in your hand.
From collection to creation is the bloom of talent overflowing
Kangaroo Show: I know that you have a lot of experience in collecting old photos and old maps. Of course, now you spend more time on the art of Chinese painting, telling the story of your collection.
Mr. Liu Peng: Actually, the collection, you also know that the original bronze, porcelain, ornamental stone, everything is collected, from 2000 onwards, gradually collect old objects, old photos until now. This matter requires development, interest, culture and financial resources. Cultural collections, the collection of jade articles, official kiln and other categories have gradually faded in the society. Today, the collection market tends to be diverse. I predict that cultural collections such as books and periodicals, historical paper collections and old maps will become popular.
I have more than a dozen old maps in Beijing, of which 5 are fine, and there is very little stock in the Beijing collection. In fact, the value is high and should be described as scarce. In the "I have a family heirloom" show, the 33-year "Detailed Map of Beijing" is out of print. In the year, one or two thousand can be collected, and now it can not be doubled.
