纪念邮折首发 裸眼3D首映 换种方式打开“莲鹤方壶”

On August 22, a souvenir folder is unveiled at Henan Museum to mark the 100th anniversary of the discovery of Rectangular Wine Vessel with Lotus and Crane. Highlighted by 2 photos of the vessel shot in the 1930s and now collected at Henan Museum, the souvenir folder contains a series of commemorative stamps themed the famous sun bird and a number of well-known bronze wares of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770-256 BC). Besides, the souvenir folder is also decorated with the architectural elements of both Henan Museum and the Palace Museum.

今年恰逢国宝莲鹤方壶出土100周年。8月22日，《莲鹤方壶出土一百周年》纪念邮折首发仪式在河南博物院举行。此次发行的纪念邮折，以河南博物院独有的两张拍摄于上世纪30年代的“莲鹤方壶”老照片为核心，辅以《太阳神鸟》邮票和《东周青铜器》特种套票，同时融入了河南博物院和故宫博物院的主建筑图案元素。

One of the pair of Rectangular Wine Vessels with Lotus and Crane unearthed at that time was collected at the Palace Museum, while the other has become one of the greatest treasures of Henan Museum.

当年出土的一对莲鹤方壶，一件收藏在北京故宫博物院，另一件则收藏在河南博物院，成为河南博物院的镇院之宝。

The traditional Chinese festival Qixi, widely known as Chinese Valentine's Day, also falls on August 22 this year. At the publishing ceremony, Henan Museum brought together the 2 vessels through glasses-free 3D tech, attracting wide attention.

8月22日恰逢中国传统节日“七夕”，在《莲鹤方壶出土一百周年》纪念邮折首发仪式上，河南博物院采用裸眼3D成像技术，让分别两地的莲鹤方壶“姐妹花”跨越时空再聚首，吸引了无数观众驻足凝望。

Exquisite casting techniques, mythological designs, decorations and motifs become clearer fueled by glasses-free 3D tech, through which visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the vessels' history, culture and artistic value.

通过裸眼3D技术，观众可以欣赏到国宝级文物的精湛铸造技艺和富有神话色彩的造型设计，清晰地看到莲鹤方壶的每一个细节，包括壶身的纹饰、图案等，从而更加深入地了解莲鹤方壶的历史、文化和艺术价值。（中文来源/河南日报 记者/温小娟 胡舒彤 编译/杨佳欣 周金淼 审校/陈行洁）
