韩国赠还中国一对清代石狮

韩国赠还中国一对清代石狮的交接仪式23日在位于首尔的韩国涧松美术馆举行，中国国家文物局从韩国国立中央博物馆正式接收这对石狮。

A handover ceremony for a pair of Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) stone lions was held at the Kansong Art Museum in Seoul, South Korea, on Thursday. China's National Cultural Heritage Administration officially received the artifacts from the National Museum of Korea.

韩方赠还的石狮为大理石质地，根据规格、质地、雕工刻法、形态特征等综合判断，应为清代王爷、公主等府邸门狮。据介绍，1933年，日本山中商会在大阪拍卖该对石狮，为涧松美术馆创始人全蓥弼购得。1938年涧松美术馆开馆后，石狮被安置在该馆葆华阁正门。全蓥弼生前始终铭记石狮是中国文物，希望将其送回中国。2025年12月，受涧松美术馆委托，韩国国立中央博物馆与中国国家文物局启动赠还石狮磋商并最终达成一致。

The stone lions are made of marble. Based on comprehensive analysis of their size, material, carving techniques, and morphological features, they are identified as gate lions of some residence of princes and princesses of the Qing period.

In 1933, Jeon Hyeong-pil, the founder of the Kansong Art Museum, bought the lions at an auction in Japan. After the Kansong Art Museum opened in 1938, they were placed at the main entrance of Bohwagak within the museum. Before his death, he always remembered that the lions were Chinese cultural relics and hoped to send them back.

In December last year, at the request of the Kansong Art Museum, the National Museum of Korea and China's National Cultural Heritage Administration initiated consultations on the return of them and ultimately reached an agreement.

中国文化和旅游部副部长、国家文物局局长饶权在仪式上致辞说，石狮赠还合作是落实中韩两国元首深化人文交流共识的务实举措。中韩两国都曾经历文物流失的伤痛，都在为流失文物回归奔走努力，韩国向中国赠还石狮，体现了韩方对中国文物的尊重和善意，为两国民心相通写下生动的文化注脚。中方愿以石狮回归为契机，推动开展更加丰富、深入、持久的中韩文化遗产合作。

Rao Quan, director of the Chinese administration, noted that the cooperation on the return of the stone lions brings tangible and perceptible cultural warmth to people of both countries.

South Korea's return of the stone lions to China reflects its respect for and goodwill toward China's cultural relics, and provides a vivid cultural footnote to the mutual understanding between the two countries' people, he said.

中国驻韩国大使戴兵致辞表示，在两国元首战略引领下，中韩关系迎来改善发展的新局面。此次赠还诠释了两国友好情谊。中方愿同韩方一道，以两国元首重要共识为指引，推动中韩战略合作伙伴关系行稳致远，更好造福两国人民，为地区乃至世界和平繁荣不断注入正能量。

Chinese Ambassador to South Korea Dai Bing said this return exemplifies the friendly sentiments between the two countries. China is ready to work with South Korea to promote the steady and long-term development of the China-South Korea strategic cooperative partnership, better benefit the peoples of both countries, and continuously inject positive energy into regional and world peace and prosperity.

韩国国立中央博物馆馆长俞弘濬、涧松美术馆馆长全寅建、韩国国会前议长金振杓、韩国国会文化体育观光委员会委员长李在汀等出席仪式并致辞。韩方表示，此次赠还出于对中国历史和文化的深切尊重，是韩中两国坚定互信的象征，期待以此为契机，共同开创韩中文化遗产交流合作新局面，进一步增进信任、深化友谊，为推动两国在经济、社会等各领域全面合作注入强大动力。

The South Korea side said that this return comes from profound respect for the history and culture of China, and is a symbol of the firm mutual trust between China and South Korea.

It looks forward to taking this opportunity to jointly open up new prospects for cultural heritage exchange and cooperation between the two countries, further enhance trust, deepen friendship, and inject strong momentum into promoting comprehensive cooperation between the two countries in economic, social, and other fields.
