马未都，早年下过乡，插过队，回城后当了几年机床铣工。

1980年开始文学创作。

1981年，《中国青年报》用一个整版发表了他的小说《今夜月儿圆》，小说发表后调为《青年文学》的编辑。

八十年代末九十年代初，与王朔、刘震云等人一起组建了“海马影视创作室”创作了颇有影响的电视剧《编辑部的故事》、《海马歌舞厅》等。80年代开始收藏中国古代器物，至90年代，他的收藏已具规模，陶瓷、古家具、玉器文玩等藏品逾千件。

1992年至今出版多部有关收藏的著作。

1996年10月，在马未都的奔走下和有关部门的大力支持下，观复古典艺术博物馆终于获准成立了。

1997年1月18日，观复古典艺术博物馆正式对公众开放。

1999年为配合世界建筑大会，观复古典艺术博物馆同建筑报合作，举办了中国古建筑门窗及陈设展，精美的展品和独特的展览设计给20万来自全世界的参观者留下了深刻的印象，政协主席李瑞环在开幕时也参观了展览，并给予了高度评价。

2000年伊始，观复古典艺术博物馆迁至朝内南小街，依然沿袭过去的展览方式和风格，力求将更好的展览展现给大家。2002年，马未都创办了全国首家私立博物馆分馆——观复博物馆杭州馆。

2011年，马未都在接受南方周末的采访时提出：“二流的制度比一流的人强”。他指出“现在文物鉴定根本没有形成一个行业，也就没有行规。文物知识很深奥，不是谁都能胜任的。文物收藏又很火爆，不少专业工作者或“疑似专业工作者”的机会就来了，电视里的好多“专家”连基本的专业知识都不具备。”他的话再次提醒收藏爱好者，人眼已经不可靠，光凭经验太不科学。专业的鉴定工具和一流的监管制度才能更好地规范收藏界。

2016年11月17日，“中国非物质文化遗产传承中心筹备仪式暨《国家级非物质文化遗产巡礼》丛书发行仪式”在北京人民大会堂举行。马未都获得“大国非遗工匠文化大使”。

“观复”由来

“观复”出自老子《道德经》第十六章，原文是：“致虚极，守静笃，万物并作，吾以观复，夫物芸芸，各复归其根，归根曰静，静曰复命。”。意思是说：达到虚空的极点，安住於甚深的禅定之中；宇宙万物相互运作生长，我们得以观察到它们的本根源头。不论万物如何变化多端，终会回归根本。回归根本称作静，就是所谓的回归其本来自性。

“观”即看，“复”即一遍又一遍。世间万物你只有静下心来一遍又一遍反复仔细观察，才能认清它的本质。“观复”博物馆由此得名。

早期“观复”

观复古典艺术博物馆最早坐落在北京古老的文化街琉璃厂，展出面积约400平方米，陈列以明清传世文物为主；除长年展出的古家具之外，还定期地策划组织专题展览，并举办文化交流讲座等活动。馆内的布置温馨而典雅，客厅、书房、卧室、茶室的布置，打破了人们成见里的冷冰冰的博物馆形象。整个馆内只有十多个玻璃展室，不断地更换着新的展览。

2000年伊始，观复古典艺术博物馆迁至朝内南小街，依然沿袭过去的展览方式和风格，力求将更好的展览展现给大家。馆内长年陈列中国古代传世精品文物，定期策划组织专题展览，举办文化交流讲座活动。

2007年，观复古典艺术博物馆正式更名为“观复博物馆”。马未都的心愿是使观复博物馆尽快社会化、规范化，形成良好的运营的机制，并最终完整地留给社会。做到这点不能只靠个人的力量，必须依靠社会的力量来完成。2007年，观复博物馆正式实行理事会制，100名理事将一起为这项文化事业做出贡献。　　

观复博物馆为公益性独立法人，接受社会各界的捐赠。

观复博物馆至今已举办了明末清初青花瓷器展、中国古代文房用具展、明清箱匣展、宋辽金元古瓷展、观复小品展、海上怀旧展、食之美器——康雍乾青花瓷盘展、锤錾工巧——中国古代金属工艺展、中国古代门窗展、中国古建筑门窗及陈设展等十多个展览。

年近花甲，马未都却依然精力充沛，与互联网自制首度碰撞出的火花——首个互联网脱口秀《都嘟》于2014年11月19日亮相优酷、土豆。

《都嘟》由优酷土豆电影中心倾力打造，每期节目中，马未都以其独一无二的“马氏”语言方式将文化、历史、热点事件等与电影充分结合解读，并不断展开盘点和趣谈，逗趣搞笑又不失智慧深度。

马未都表示，自己并无奢求，只愿《都嘟》能成为观众生活中的万金油，不求治本，只求一个“爽”字。

“天上一脚，地下一脚；东一榔头，西一棒子；三天打鱼，两天晒网；只说道理，不求真相”，马未都首个互联网脱口秀《都嘟》，在深度、幽默的解读之下，剥落出鲜活的真实。每周三、六在优酷、土豆，观众也将在浮躁的信息大潮中，聆听到有态度的声音，细细品味文化的魅力。

 Ma Weidu, who went to the countryside in his early years, joined the queue and worked as a machine tool milling worker for several years after returning to the city.

 

Literary creation began in 1980.

 

In 1981, "China Youth Daily" published his novel "tonight's moon circle" in a full page. After the novel was published, it was translated into the editor of youth literature.

 

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, together with Wang Shuo and Liu Zhenyun, the "Seahorse Film and Television Creation Room" was set up, and the influential TV dramas "The Story of the Editorial Department" and "Seahorse Song and Dance Hall" were created. In the 1980s, he began to collect ancient Chinese utensils. By the 1990s, his collection had reached a large scale, with over 1000 pieces of ceramics, ancient furniture, jade articles and other collections.

 

Since 1992, he has published many books on collections.

 

In October 1996, the Guanfu Museum of Classical Art was finally established under the support of Ma Weidu and the relevant departments.

 

On January 18, 1997, the Guanfu Museum of Classical Art was officially opened to the public.

 

In 1999, in cooperation with the World Architectural Congress, the Museum of Classical Art, in cooperation with Architectural Newspaper, held an exhibition of doors and windows of ancient Chinese architecture. The exquisite exhibits and unique exhibition design left a deep impression on 200,000 visitors from all over the world. Li Ruihuan, chairman of the CPPCC, also visited the exhibition at the opening of the exhibition and gave them a chance. Highly praised.

 

At the beginning of 2000, Guanfu Museum of Classical Art moved to Chaonan Street, still following the past exhibition methods and styles, striving to show you better exhibitions. In 2002, Ma Weidu founded the first private museum branch in China, the Guanfu Museum, Hangzhou Museum.

In 2011, Ma Weidu put forward in an interview with Nanfang Weekend that "the second-class system is better than the first-class people". He pointed out that "at present, cultural relics appraisal has not formed an industry at all, and there are no rules and regulations. Cultural relics are so profound that no one can be competent. Cultural relics collection is also very popular, many professional workers or "suspected professional workers" have the opportunity to come, many "experts" in television do not even have basic professional knowledge. His words remind collectors once again that the human eye is no longer reliable and that experience alone is too unscientific. Only professional appraisal tools and first-class supervision system can better regulate the collection industry.

On November 17, 2016, the "Preparatory Ceremony for China's Inheritance Center of Intangible Cultural Heritage and the Release Ceremony of the National Tour of Intangible Cultural Heritage" Series was held in Beijing Great Hall of the People. Ma Weidu was awarded "Ambassador of Culture of Big Countries and Non-Heritage Craftsmen".

Guanfu Museum is a public welfare independent legal person, receiving donations from all walks of life.

 

The Origin of Guanfu

 

"Guanfu" comes from Chapter 16 of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. The original text is: "To make empty poles, to keep quiet, to do all things, to observe and recover, to restore their roots, to restore quiet, to restore their lives quietly." It means: to reach the pole of emptiness, to dwell in deep meditation, and to observe the origin of all things in the universe as they interact and grow. No matter how diverse things are, they will eventually return to the root. Return is essentially called quiet, which means returning to its original self-nature.

 

"View" means to see, and "reply" means to see over and over again. You can only recognize the essence of all things in the world by observing them carefully and quietly over and over again. The Guanfu Museum was named after this.

Early "Guanfu"

 

Guanfu Museum of Classical Art was first located in Liulichang, an ancient cultural street in Beijing, with an exhibition area of about 400 square meters. It mainly displays cultural relics handed down from Ming and Qing Dynasties. Besides the ancient furniture exhibited for many years, it also regularly plans and organizes special exhibitions and holds cultural exchange seminars. The layout of the museum is warm and elegant. The layout of the living room, study, bedroom and tea room breaks the stereotypical image of the museum. There are only more than ten glass exhibition rooms in the museum, and new exhibitions are constantly changing.

 

At the beginning of 2000, Guanfu Museum of Classical Art moved to Chaonan Street, still following the past exhibition methods and styles, striving to show you better exhibitions. The museum displays ancient Chinese cultural relics, regularly plans and organizes special exhibitions, and holds cultural exchange seminars.

It has seven exhibition halls, including furniture hall, ceramics hall, door and window hall, photography hall, oil painting hall, craft hall and multi-function hall. The membership system is implemented.

 

In 2007, Guanfu Museum of Classical Art was officially renamed Guanfu Museum. Ma Weidu's wish is to make Guanfu Museum socialized and standardized as soon as possible, to form a good operation mechanism, and ultimately leave it to the society in its entirety. This can not be achieved only by the strength of individuals, but also by the strength of society. In 2007, the Guanfu Museum officially implemented the board system, and 100 directors will contribute to this cultural cause together.

 

Guanfu Museum is a public welfare independent legal person, receiving donations from all walks of life.

 

Up to now, Guanfu Museum has held blue and white porcelain exhibitions in late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, ancient Chinese study utensils exhibitions, box exhibitions in Ming and Qing Dynasties, ancient Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan Dynasties porcelain exhibitions, Guanfu sketches exhibitions, ocean nostalgia exhibitions, delicacies of food - Kang Yongqian blue and white porcelain disc exhibition, hammer and handicraft - Ancient Chinese metal craft exhibition, ancient Chinese doors and windows exhibition, ancient China. More than ten exhibitions, such as architectural doors, windows and exhibitions.

 

The establishment of Guanfu Museum of Classical Art has filled the gap of private museums since the founding of the People's Republic of China. CCTV, Beijing Television, local stations, Hong Kong Satellite Television Phoenix, Japan's NHK, China Daily, People's Political Consultative Conference, People's Daily Overseas Edition, Guangming Daily, Beijing Youth Daily, Southern Weekend, Beijing Evening News, Chinese Heritage Daily, Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao and more than 100 other media have reported in support of his cultural cause.

 

Near the age of Huajia, Ma Weidu is still energetic, and the first spark collided with the Internet homemade, the first Internet talk show "Dudu" appeared on November 19, 2014, Youku, potatoes.

 

Dudu is created by Youku Potato Film Center. In each episode, Ma Wei fully interprets culture, history, hot events and movies in his unique "Mahalanobis" language, and keeps making inventories and interesting conversations. It is amusing and witty.

 

Ma Weidu said that he had no extravagance. He only wanted "Dudu" to be the golden oil in the audience's life, not the root cause, but a word of "Shuang".

 

"One foot in the sky, one foot in the ground; one hammer in the east, one stick in the west; three days of fishing, two days of net-drying; only reason, not truth." Ma Weidu's first Internet talk show "Dudu", peeled out the vivid truth under the deep and humorous interpretation. Every Wednesday and Saturday in Youku and Tudou, the audience will also listen to the voice of attitude and savor the charm of culture in the impetuous tide of information.
