Chapter 849: The thief who stole and sold the six horses of Zhaoling

The phone is connected.

Teacher Ma's smiling voice came from the earpiece: "Isn't France fun?"

Chen Wen replied: "Fun is fun, but it's not as good as having fun with Teacher Ma in the imperial capital." ”

Teacher Ma smiled: "If you are less here, everyone knows that it is boring to be with me, so you can tease me!"

Chen Wen smiled and asked, "How was the filming of "Seahorse"?"

Teacher Ma said: "I have filmed two rounds and have filmed 7 episodes. Another round of filming in a few days, the plan is another 7 episodes. Hey, the actors are doing well, you didn't see it, it's a pity. Two days ago, I had dinner with a few people, and when I talked about you, everyone missed you. ”

"Ha, I miss you guys too. Chen Wen reported: "By the way, Mr. Ma, I have already been to the Red House in Paris. ”

Teacher Ma asked, "Have you been to the Louvre Huaxia Pavilion?"

Chen Wen said honestly: "I didn't go, I didn't have time, and I couldn't understand it." ”

Teacher Ma smiled: "Okay, if you don't go, you won't go, and if you don't understand, it's useless, I'll just tell you." ”

Chen Wen said: "Okay, you give a lecture, and I will take notes." ”

This subconscious sentence was Chen Wen's note-taking habit formed in class recently, but he was immediately stopped by Teacher Ma: "What I said next, you just have to keep it in your heart, don't form any words." ”

Chen Wen suddenly had a feeling that Mr. Ma had something very important.

He thought that Mr. Ma would start talking about knowledge from the collection of the Louvre, but soon Chen Wen realized that he had miscalculated again.

Mr. Ma told Chen Wen the story of a person who was Lu Qinzhai, the first-generation owner of the Red House in Paris, whom Chen Wen visited last week, that is, the number one cultural relics dealer in China who was scolded by Song Qinyao.

Lu Qinzhai was born in 1880, when the Qing Dynasty was still alive, and he was a native of Huzhou, Zhejiang.

Teacher Ma told the growth history of Lu Qinzhai in detail, but Chen Wen almost yawned when he heard it.

It wasn't until the next few things that were a bit exciting and vulgar, as well as the gossip scandal that Mr. Ma said, that Chen Wen's interest gradually increased.

Lu Qinzhai was originally Zhang Jingjiang's follower, and this Zhang Jingjiang was one of the four elders of GMD. In 1902, Zhang Jingjiang served as the commercial counselor of the Qing court in France, and this person came to Paris with Lu Qinzhai and opened an express trading company to sell Chinese porcelain, calligraphy and paintings to France.

Mr. Ma didn't say that Zhang Jingjiang sold cultural relics, but Chen Wen was able to make up for it, since Lu Qinzhai later became the number one cultural relics dealer in China, and Zhang Jingjiang's Yuntong company had calligraphy and painting, so it was mostly related to cultural relics.

Next, Mr. Ma said something very exciting

Feeling.

After the Xinhai Revolution, Mr. Sun, who was lying in Jinling after his death, met Zhang Jingjiang once, and then Zhang Jingjiang left France, joined Mr. Sun's team, and became one of the four elders. Mr. Ma specially labeled Zhang Jingjiang: Mr. Sun's money bag.

Chen Wennao made up a little, if he was a businessman who was engaged in a legitimate porcelain business, could he become Mr. Sun's money bag?

Zhang Jingjiang left France, so French porcelain, calligraphy and painting are actually antique sales business, and he can't continue to do it himself, so he transferred the Yuntong company to Lu Qinzhai. After that, Lu Qinzhai began to run his master's so-called porcelain and calligraphy and painting business in France.

Chen Wen made up for Lu Qinzhai's backstage boss and the boss's behind-the-scenes boss, and suddenly felt that these people were too good at playing.

After the fall of the North/Ocean/Government/Government/Government/Mansion, a large number of rare cultural relics in the Forbidden City were lost, and Lu Qinzhai took advantage of the unstable situation in China to acquire a large number of cultural relics at a low price, and transported them to Europe by car and boat.

With a top-level appreciation of Chinese cultural relics and so-called commercial talents, Lu Qinzhai enlightened the European and American collectors from Chinese decorative porcelain to Chinese tomb art and Buddhist art, which have deep cultural accumulation.

At this moment, the mausoleums and ancient temples of many emperors and concubines in China fell into blood mold, and wave after wave of European and American cultural relics thieves were led to China by Lu Qinzhai.

In the decades after the Xinhai Revolution, there were constant wars in China, the warlords had finished the civil war, and the people of the whole country had to fight a war against aggression. The people are struggling to make a living, people are starving to death everywhere, and no one cares about the protection of cultural relics. Lu Qinzhai and his European and American partners were actually tomb robbers, looting cultural relics in China.

When Mr. Ma talked about these things, his mood fluctuated, and he breathed for two minutes before continuing to tell an incident that made Chen Wen scold after hearing it.

Teacher Ma asked, "Do you know the six horses of Zhaoling?"

Chen Wen said that he knew: "The six horses of the mausoleum of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Teacher Ma said, "That's right, six reliefs. Do you know the artistic status of this relief?"

Chen Wen took two classes of "History of French Sculpture" this semester, so he said: "I really don't know the status of our Zhaoling Six Horses, I have just started to learn French sculpture knowledge this semester." ”

Teacher Ma said: "In the sculpture of the horse, the six horses of Zhaoling crush the sculptures of the world. ”

Chen Wen hurriedly asked why?

Teacher Ma said: "The six horses of Zhaoling are the only ancient reliefs in the world with horses as a separate subject!"

Chen Wen said: "I didn't know before, but now I know, thank you Mr. Ma." ”

Ma Lao

The teacher said: "There are a total of six horses in the six horses of Zhaoling, but only four horses are left in our country. There are two horses, not in the country. ”

Chen Wen asked, "Where did they go?"

Teacher Ma said: "The two most beautiful horses, 'Salu Zi' and 'Fist Mao', are now in the collection of the University of Pennsylvania Museum in the United States, and they were obtained by antiquities dealers. ”

Teacher Ma was a little sad, and coughed for a while before he spoke again: "Do you know, these six horse reliefs, stayed in Zhaoling for 1,200 years, and none of them had any accidents! In 1,200 years, how many wars, as well as foreign invasions, so many powers, no one touched them! Decades ago, they were smuggled out! He sold the reliefs of these two horses for 125,000 US dollars! Do you know who did it?"

Chen Wen had already guessed that Mr. Ma had talked so much about Lu Qinzhai today, and it must have been Lu Qinzhai who stole and sold the six horses of Zhaoling.

Chen Wen said: "Teacher Ma, tell me, who did it?"

Marathon said, "Lu Qinzhai!"

Chen Wen scolded: "!^**^$%(*(*(*!!)

After scolding for a while, Chen Wen said: "Teacher Ma, you told me so much, do you want me to help us Huaxia get back the two lost horses of the Zhaoling Six Horses?"

Teacher Ma hehe: "Don't worry, I have a lot of things to tell you." You can't get the Zhaoling Six Horses back, this is a matter between us and the United States, and it can be resolved sooner or later. ”

Chen Wen said, "Okay, Mr. Ma, you continue. ”

Teacher Ma said: "Lu Qinzhai is a person, the number of Chinese cultural relics sold overseas from his hands has exceeded 100,000 pieces that can be examined. There is also an exaggerated statement, saying that more than half of the cultural relics lost overseas in China were taken out by him. ”

Chen Wen remembered that when he visited the Red Chamber last week, Song Qinyao had scolded Lu Qinzhai with such words, so he said: "A friend of mine who studied archaeology also studied in Paris, and she said that more than half of the overseas cultural relics were sold by Lu Qinzhai. ”

Teacher Ma said: "The latter statement seems a bit exaggerated. It is rumored that during the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese devils took more than 5 million pieces from our country. There is no official confirmation of this figure so far, and neither side can confirm it anyway. If these 5 million pieces are counted, he will definitely not be able to do half of what Lu Qinzhai has done. ”

Chen Wen said: "Let's settle accounts with them in the future, Mr. Ma, you can continue to talk about Lu Qinzhai." ”

Teacher Ma answered and continued to talk about the class of Lu Qinzhai, a cultural relics dealer.

Zhang Jingjiang left France and returned to China to become the four elders of GMD, becoming Mr. Sun's money bag, and all the business in France was handed over to Lu Qinzhai.
