Chapter 956: Looking at the status of China in the Louvre
Tang Jin said happily: "Tell me quickly, how your professor lectures!"
Chen Wen pondered for a moment and decided to say an interesting version: "The things that the professor said are basically in the booklet in your hand, and these contents are not interesting, I will tell you something interesting." ”
As a result, Chen Wen poured many of the jokes he saw on the Internet in his previous life in the 21st century to Tang Jin, which were actually the research results related to the "Mona Lisa" sorted out by some researchers who had gone off the rails, as well as some messy things in the Louvre.
Listening to Chen Wen's nonsense, Tang Jin opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Bad guy, are these things you said true?"
Chen Wen smiled: "It's all my cranky, some of it is hearsay, without verification, Sister Tang, just listen to the story, don't take it seriously." ”
Tang Jin sighed softly: "Bad guy, you are really amazing now, this knowledge is rising so fast! Teacher Ma once said to me, those who do archaeological research should be bold to guess and carefully verify." What you just said, although it is your conjecture, if it can really be verified, it will be a great achievement. ”
Chen Wen said with a smile: "I'm not interested in archaeological achievements, let's go, let's hurry up and look at other paintings, go out for dinner later, and then come back to see the Oriental Pavilion." ”
Tang Jin asked, "Can I come back in again after I go out?"
Chen Wen said: "We bought a joint ticket, and we can come and go as we like all day today." ”
Coming out of the Louvre, the two looked for a place to eat.
The Louvre is located on the north bank of the Seine, that is, on the right bank, and there are still many high-spending places in this area. Chen Wen chose a high-grade comprehensive restaurant, rushing for expensive dishes, and deliberately currying favor with his beloved Sister Tang.
After coming to France for two months, Chen Wen ate truffles and deep-sea caviar for the first time today.
After a meal, more than 3,000 francs were eaten. Tang Jin converted it in her heart, it was almost 4,000 Huaxia coins, and she exclaimed: "It's equivalent to a year's salary of an ordinary employee of our radio station before!"
Chen Wen smiled and said: "As long as you can afford to eat, this is not expensive." For Sister Tang to eat well, let alone 3,000 francs, I can afford 30,000 francs for a meal!"
Tang Jin smiled: "Capitalist life is really corrupt!"
Chen Wen sighed lightly: "What's the matter with other people's capitalism? We eat our own, spend our own, don't steal or rob, have neither corruption nor take advantage of the public, this belongs to independent consumption!"
Tang Jin pouted and made a cute expression.
Chen Wen is a very good-tempered person, and he has a good temper in both lives, and he rarely follows
People raise the bar. But just now, he suddenly couldn't help but slap Tang Jin.
He found that both at home and abroad, there are always some Chinese people who talk about capitalism when they open their mouths and close their mouths, obviously thinking one thing in their hearts, but burying capitalism in their mouths, as if after saying this, they can find an excuse and excuse for themselves.
What others do and what they think in their hearts, Chen Wen can't control it, he doesn't want the beloved Sister Tang to develop this kind of bad problem.
After eating this expensive but delicious meal, the two returned to the Louvre, Chen Wen took Tang Jin's shoulders and went to the Oriental Pavilion.
The Oriental Pavilion, as the name suggests, has several pavilions in it that are themed on cultural relics from Oriental countries, that is, Asia.
The two largest pavilions are the West Asia Pavilion, which focuses on Persian culture, and the India Pavilion, which focuses on India and covers several Southeast Asian countries around it.
The cultural relics of Persia and India, Chen Wen didn't look down on those things at all in his heart, he didn't even bother to bother with his brain, and he didn't remember the things of their country.
Chen Wen heard from Mr. Ma and recommended him to visit the Huaxia Museum.
The name Mr. Ma said was "China Pavilion", and Chen Wen felt that it should be similar to the Persian Pavilion and the India Pavilion.
But after searching for a long time, Chen Wen and Tang Jin finally found a small exhibition hall, and a sign was hung at the door, with an English word written - A.
Special cat's doesn't even capitalize the first letter.
When I walked into the exhibition hall, it was full of porcelain, Chinese porcelain. Chen Wen remembered the word at the gate, which turned out to mean not China, but porcelain.
In the small exhibition hall of 100 tens of square meters, there are four long half-height glass display cabinets, and hundreds of pieces of Chinese porcelain are stacked in the cabinets.
Chen Wen felt like walking into the cold section of a Carrefour supermarket, bending down and looking down at the frozen meat and seafood in the freezer.
The porcelain in the four large glass coffins was simply and crudely classified.
A cabinet was full of bottles, all kinds of bottles, tall, short, fat, thin, slender necks, and eared. A cabinet is full of plates, large, small, colorful, and plain.
A cabinet is full of bowls and cups, mixed together in a mess, and some even have a cup that doesn't match its style at all, like a waiter cleaning up the table and stacking the cutlery after a restaurant diner has finished eating.
The last cabinet is full of handicrafts, animals and figures made of porcelain, among which there are several Tang Sancai. There are also some oddly shaped porcelain, which look like containers, but Chen Wen does not recognize them
What is the purpose of the Louvre, it is also placed in the display case of the crafts by the people of the Louvre.
Only a handful of porcelain pieces have small cards on the side with their respective names and chronological descriptions, and the vast majority of porcelain is unlabeled, so you don't know which dynasty it belongs to or what it is called.
Compared with the exhibition content of the Persian Pavilion and the India Pavilion, the Huaxia Pavilion, to be precise, the porcelain-themed Huaxia Pavilion, the collection and exhibition here appear to be very messy, very unprofessional, and very lacking in meticulous care.
Chen Wen feels that from this detail, it can also be seen that the Louvre's attitude towards Chinese culture is not serious enough.
He sighed in his heart, the attitude of the Louvre is actually the attitude of the entire West towards China in 1992, at this time China has not achieved economic rise and soaring, it is still a third world country, and it will be many years before it can become the world's second economic power.
Chen Wen already knows a lot about Western art, after all, he took classes at the Faculty of Arts and Letters for two months, but he really didn't know much about porcelain in his own country.
Tang Jin happily served as a docent for Chen Wen, Kangxi's bottle, Yongzheng's bowl, Qianlong's pot, Guangxu's plate, the Tang Dynasty's cup, the Song Dynasty's wash, the Yuan Dynasty's pot, and the Ming Dynasty's cup.
Chen Wen took his girlfriend's hand and praised with a smile: "Sister Tang, you know so much, I like it!"
Tang Jin said: "Although the Louvre is very rough in the placement of Chinese porcelain, it is also very convenient for us to visit. You see, the porcelain vases are all together, the various dynasties are together, if you happen to be interested in the porcelain vase, it is very convenient, you don't have to look for it everywhere, just stay in front of this cabinet, just look at the porcelain vase. ”
Chen Wen couldn't help but smile and said: "Sister Tang, your mentality is really good, obviously the people in the Louvre are too lazy and lack knowledge of China, and they don't pay much attention to our country. ”
Tang Jin turned around and looked at Chen Wen's eyes seriously: "Actually, this is the same in life, and I also experience the relationship between the two of us in this way, if I have to be more serious with myself, play with you, and grab things from my shallow sister, then I won't be able to live this day." ”
Chen Wen felt a burst of warmth in his heart, and he really treated Tang Jin badly in his love with Tang Jin. All along, including in the future, Chen Wen plans to use his love actions to compensate Tang Jin with resources and business. In addition to the marriage certificate, he is willing to give anything to Tang Jin.
However, Chen Wen could hear her mentality from Tang Jin's words, and he felt that he was really blessed to have such a considerate sister and girlfriend.
When the time was almost up, Chen Wen led Tang Jin out of the Louvre, found his car, and drove back to Versailles. Thirty kilometers of road, a foot of oil.
