The applause fell slightly, and the voice of the host of the donation ceremony came out again, reaching the ears of everyone at the scene.

After returning to Beijing, Mr. Ye opened the Dunhuang canons to Chinese experts and scholars who studied Dunhuang studies, and as long as they applied for and obtained permission, these experts and scholars could see the relevant canons.

For the study of Dunhuang studies in China, Mr. Ye's initiative is of great significance, which will greatly promote the related research of Dunhuang studies and enable us to better understand the civilization and history of our own country.

Just two days ago, Mr. Ye Tian proposed that a batch of Dunhuang scriptures could be donated to the National Library to expand the scale of the National Library's collection of Dunhuang scriptures and better promote the research of Dunhuang studies.

After receiving the news, the Ministry of Culture, together with the National Library and the Dunhuang Academy, immediately contacted Mr. Ye to discuss the donation of the Dunhuang Canon to promote this cultural event.

After discussion, Mr. Ye decided to donate 5,000 volumes of the Dunhuang Classics to the National Library of China, so as to enrich the collection of the Dunhuang Classics in the National Library and open them to all relevant researchers.

These 5,000 volumes of the Dunhuang Canon, once stored in the Stein Chamber of the British Museum, have almost never been seen by Chinese Dunhuang scholars, and are of great research value, and each volume can be called a priceless treasure.

However, today they have returned to China, and through the hands of Mr. Ye Tian, they have become the collection of the National Library of China, and at this moment, they are placed in this magnificent hall used to worship ancestors!"

As he spoke, the host of the donation ceremony raised his hand and gestured to the boxes placed next to the rostrum, and his tone was quite excited, even a little impassioned.

Unsurprisingly, there was a warm applause at the scene again, which was deafening.

Even those foreign reporters of international media in Beijing, perhaps very reluctant and even a little sour, had to applaud at this time and applaud Ye Tian's generosity.

While applauding warmly, everyone at the scene turned their heads to look at the boxes next to the rostrum.

Except for some foreign reporters, the eyes of all the other Chinese media reporters were extremely hot and everyone was very excited.

As for those experts and scholars who were also at the scene, antique art appraisal experts, and many cultural and museum personnel, their eyes were even more excited, and it was difficult for them to themselves.

"Wow! Donating 5,000 volumes of the priceless Dunhuang Canon at once, this is really too big, shocking to the world! Is this still the legendary greedy Ye Tian? Dude is almost no longer recognized!"

"Five thousand volumes of Dunhuang scriptures! If you change to anyone else, it is estimated that you will be reluctant, it seems that we must get to know Ye Tian again, he is really not shocking and endless!"

Before the applause fell, the scene had already resounded with a sound of discussion, which became extremely noisy.

At the same time, almost all media reporters in the audience were busy, and they sent the news out as soon as possible, and also sent out the pictures and video materials of the scene.

In the blink of an eye, this blockbuster news appeared on the homepage of major domestic portals in China, firmly occupying the position of the front page headlines, and directly stealing the limelight of the Spring Festival Gala report.

Not only the portal, but also other news media, social networks, and even people's WeChat moments, etc., have also been completely detonated by this heavy news.

Almost all Chinese who saw this news were stunned and completely shocked by Ye Tian's big hand.

Immediately afterwards, applause rang out all over the country, covering almost every corner of the land of China, and everyone's applause was extremely warm.

And this storm soon blew abroad, causing quite a stir in the field of antique art collection, in Europe and the United States.

Especially in London, England, and the British Museum, when those British people heard the news, they were not only shocked, but also extremely bitter.

Back in the main hall of the Taimiao Temple in the Forbidden City, the donation ceremony continues.

When the applause and discussion subsided slightly, the host of the donation ceremony immediately picked up the topic just now and began to introduce the general situation of this batch of Dunhuang scriptures.

Of course, the person who knows most about these Dunhuang scriptures is none other than Ye Tian himself.

After the host of the donation ceremony introduced a few words, he raised his hand to Ye Tian and asked him to introduce the situation of this batch of Dunhuang scriptures.

Ye Tian naturally took the lead, and immediately started his own performance.

"As you know, the Dunhuang scriptures that were once stored in the British Museum were purchased by the Englishman Stein from Dunhuang more than 100 years ago, and they should have been obtained by fraud, and they cost no more than 14 horseshoe silver.

The person who sold this batch of Dunhuang scriptures was the discoverer of the Dunhuang scripture cave, Wang Yuanji, Wang Taoist, in the history of Chinese culture, this ignorant Wang Taoist priest, can be called a famous national sinner.

After Stein brought the Dunhuang scriptures back to England, he donated them to the British Museum, where they remained in the Stein Vault in the Chinese Pavilion of the British Museum for more than 100 years.

Most of the Dunhuang classics are in Chinese, but there are also many manuscripts and classics in other languages, such as Uighur, Tibetan, Sanskrit, and other scripts, which are the best historical materials for studying the history of these peoples,......"

Next, Ye Tian began to introduce this batch of Dunhuang scriptures in detail.

At the same time as he was making his introduction, the large-screen TV erected on the side of the rostrum was also simultaneously broadcasting relevant pictures and video materials, displaying those priceless Dunhuang scriptures.

However, the number of these Dunhuang scriptures is so huge that it is obviously impossible to introduce them all.

Ye Tian could only select more than a dozen representative picture scrolls and scriptures from them and introduce them, while the other scriptures could only be mentioned in one sentence.

Even so, by the time he finished introducing the dozen volumes of the Dunhuang Canon, more than ten minutes had passed.

Next, the director of the National Library and the president of the Dunhuang Academy appeared on the stage.

Both of them thanked Ye Tian for his generosity and affirmed the great value of these Dunhuang scriptures and their great impact on the study of Dunhuang studies and even the study of ancient Chinese history and culture.

The finale was the Minister of Culture, who delivered a commanding speech, once again expressing his gratitude and praise for Ye Tian's generous donation, and giving him a very high evaluation.

And this is exactly what Ye Tian wants.

Through this public and high-profile donation, he has managed to make an excellent impression on everyone, and it will definitely be of great help to the next step in the construction of a private museum!

If nothing else, and no one is in trouble, his construction of a private museum will be smooth sailing, and it is almost impossible to encounter any obstacles.

Soon, this heavyweight donation ceremony came to the most important part.

After the Minister of Culture finished speaking, the host of the donation ceremony stepped forward again and made a concluding speech.

Immediately afterward, he excitedly announced loudly.

"Dear media reporters, I would like to invite Mr. Ye Tian, the representative of the New York Brave Intrepid Exploration Company, and Mr. Rao, the director of the National Library, to sign the donation agreement and hand over this batch of precious Dunhuang scriptures."

Before the words fell, all the media reporters at the scene had already stood up, raised their cameras and video cameras in their hands, and pointed their cameras at the two people sitting in the center of the rostrum to record this important historical moment.

Ye Tian and Curator Rao, who were sitting in the center of the rostrum, first glanced at each other, smiled and nodded, and then each picked up the pen on the table and signed their names on the donation agreement.

"Click"

The sound of the camera shutter was instantaneous, and the flashes came and went, illuminating the magnificent hall as if it were daylight.

The donation agreement in front of Ye Tian and Curator Rao, one in Chinese and one in English, although the text is different, the content is completely the same, it is a contract negotiated and drafted by both parties, and there are signatures of lawyers from both sides.

After signing the two agreements in front of them, Ye Tian and Director Rao took the agreements handed by each other and signed their names on the other two donation agreements.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them stood up at the same time, shook hands with each other in front of all cameras and video camera lenses, and exchanged donation agreements under the eager gaze of everyone present.

While shaking hands, Director Rao said excitedly:

"Ye Tian, on behalf of all the staff of the National Library, I would like to thank you again, this is the largest donation received by the National Library since its establishment, and it is also the most valuable donation, which is of great significance!"

Ye Tian smiled softly, then lowered his voice and said:

"Don't be too polite, Curator Rao, don't forget, I am also Chinese, this is what I should do, I am deeply honored to bring these precious Dunhuang scriptures back to China!"

When he said this, Ye Tian kept his voice very low, and only he and Curator Rao could hear it.

He didn't want these words to fall into the ears of those media reporters in the audience, especially those from the United States, because that would probably cause some unnecessary trouble!

At the moment when Ye Tian shook hands with Director Rao, the five thousand volumes of Dunhuang scriptures placed next to the rostrum and sealed in those boxes no longer belonged to Ye Tian, and all of them became treasures of the National Library.

Of course, Ye Tian and his brave and fearless exploration company also have the power to supervise, and if necessary, they can also go to the National Library at any time to access these precious rare books!

The sound of the camera shutter at the scene has become more dense, and the flashes have been connected together, making people dizzy.

On the rostrum, Ye Tian and David shook hands with the Minister of Culture and the President of the Dunhuang Academy one after another, and exchanged a few polite words.

Especially the Minister of Culture, while shaking hands with Ye Tian, also looked at him deeply a few times, his eyes were full of appreciation, but he didn't say anything.

When they shook hands with each other, returned to their respective seats, and then turned to face the many media reporters in the audience, the Taimiao Hall suddenly boiled again.

"Bang Bang Bang"

The warm applause sounded again, like a storm, and instantly swept the entire Taimiao Hall.
