亲爱的朋友们，今天给大家介绍我在博物馆看到的，也是我最喜爱的藏品之一
清 翡翠蝈蝈白菜 高 19.4 厘米 宽 14 厘米
它利用材质的天然成色差异，巧作雕成白菜，两只蝈蝈和一只螳螂。鲜活灵动，工艺技巧高超，生趣盎然。
白菜因有着“百财”的谐音，有着祝福财源广进的意思，而中国民间自古就有“白菜豆腐保平安”的说法，翠玉白菜也代表着平安与健康。
而且，白帮绿叶的白菜，还是清清白白的象征，寓意收藏者淡泊名利和高雅的气节，做人要清清白白，堂堂正正。因此，中国自古以来就有了许多翠玉白菜的艺术品。
民国时期有一个盗墓大案震惊全国。据说当时孙殿英从慈禧墓中盗出无数宝贝，包括一只翡翠蝈蝈白菜。
一直到现在没人知道到底是哪一棵。目前大家所知出名的清代蝈蝈白菜一共两只，另外一只在台北故宫博物馆保存。
而大家多年来都把那一棵认作是慈禧的最爱，而近年来故宫博物馆专家对于故宫清档的研究发现，台北故宫博物馆那棵是道光皇帝的爱赏之物，而权倾一时的慈禧，当时敢不敢动祖宗的东西大家都不清楚，所以这棵白菜的身世还是一团迷案。
您瞧， 这棵大白菜上的一对肥的大腹蝈蝈和一只螳螂，多么生动形象？它们好像在边爬边啃菜叶，栩栩如生。蔬菜和草虫的生命活力引起观者的爱抚情愫，构思巧妙，令人赞叹不已！
这棵大白菜祝您平安发财，心想事成！
感谢您的阅读。
