Chapter Two Thousand and Four Taimiao
The Forbidden City, in the library used by Ye Tian.
Ye Tian is directing his company employees to carry boxes one by one, and those boxes contain all the Dunhuang scriptures that were transported back from London, England, and the number is very large.
"Everyone according to the number in their hands to move, the rest of the boxes do not move, you must be careful in the process of handling, do not damage the Dunhuang scriptures in the box"
"Understood"
Everyone at the scene responded in unison, and they were busy in a nervous and orderly manner.
Outside the door of the vault, twenty or thirty Forbidden City cultural museum personnel are also busy, counting and checking the boxes that have just been moved out of the library, everyone is very serious and meticulous!
A few meters behind them, Shan Lao and several other old men, as well as several experts, scholars and officials, were craned their necks and looked into the library, everyone was extremely excited and full of anticipation.
Every time they saw Ye Tian's company employees move a box out of the library, the smiles on their faces increased, and as time went by, their faces were almost smiling and stiff!
At the same time, they were also stunned by Ye Tian's generosity, and were completely shocked by the huge number of boxes piled up at the door of the library.
"I'm not mistaken, right? Ye Tian, this kid actually plans to donate so many Dunhuang scriptures, is it really fake? I'm not dreaming, am I? And this dream is so beautiful that I don't even want to wake up!"
"I heard Ye Tian say that he plans to donate a batch of Dunhuang scriptures, in my mind, hundreds of volumes will be up to the sky, who would have thought, he is so generous, so big, it's really scary, he is really willing!"
The old men, experts and scholars standing outside the door of the library were all talking in low voices, everyone was very excited, and everyone felt incredible.
Soon, nearly half an hour had passed.
All the Dunhuang scriptures that are ready to be donated have been moved out of this constant temperature and humidity vault, and the company employees in the library have also walked out one after another.
The last ones to come out were Ye Tian and David.
After walking out of the library, Ye Tian closed the incomparably heavy alloy door of the library, reset the temperature and humidity on the LCD control screen, and reset the password.
After doing this, he turned around and came to Shan Lao and them, and said with a smile:
"Shan Lao, Dean Duan, and Director Rao, the Dunhuang scriptures that I am going to donate to the National Library and the Dunhuang Academy have all been moved out, and they are right in front of you, and everyone can see them.
This batch of Dunhuang scriptures has a total of 5,000 volumes, and there are many extremely precious picture scrolls and scriptures, which were once the Dunhuang scriptures of the British Museum, and I have selected more than a dozen of them for collection and exhibition, and the rest are all here."
Before his words fell, the scene had been completely fried.
"You plan to donate 5,000 volumes of the Dunhuang Scriptures, I heard you right? Ye Tian, and all of them are the Dunhuang Scriptures exchanged from the British Museum, they are all the best of the Dunhuang Scriptures!"
"Donating 5,000 volumes in one go, this is really too exaggerated, although the number is not comparable to the Dunhuang collection of the National Library, but the rarity is not bad at all, and even surpasses.
Ye Tian, you kid is really too angry, it's impressive, if it were me, I would be reluctant to donate so many priceless treasures if I was killed, and you kid would be it, admire!"
While exclaiming, everyone at the scene gave Ye Tian a thumbs up, everyone's eyes were full of appreciation, and they even felt a little sorry for Ye Tian.
Ye Tian's expression was very relaxed, as if what he was about to donate was not the priceless five thousand volumes of the Dunhuang Canon, but a batch of ordinary books.
In fact, he knew better than anyone else that although these Dunhuang scriptures were priceless treasures, they could not be circulated in the market at all, let alone allowed to flow out of the country again!
If you dare to sell these treasures of Chinese civilization or send them to auction for auction, then you will wait to be completely submerged by the spittle of the people of the whole country, and there is absolutely no possibility of being spared.
These priceless treasures can only be collected, and because of the sheer number, most of the Dunhuang canons will have to be shelved and exhibited in the public is extremely unlikely.
In order to maximize the value of their existence and interpret the culture and history recorded on these Dunhuang canons, there is no better way to open them up to relevant domestic researchers and let those professionals conduct research.
Coupled with a little calculation to build a private museum, Ye Tiancai made the decision to donate this batch of Dunhuang scriptures.
In the final analysis, the Chinese still talk about human feelings, as long as they throw in the peach, someone will definitely repay the favor!
Ye Tian glanced at the people at the scene, and then everyone at the scene arched their hands, and then said with a smile:
"You heard it right, I do intend to donate these 5,000 volumes of the Dunhuang Scriptures to increase the number of Dunhuang Classics in the National Library, and I believe that it is the most suitable place to store these priceless treasures.
The Dunhuang Academy is the most authoritative institution for the study of the Dunhuang Canon, and these Dunhuang Canons will surely be able to bloom the most brilliant light of civilization after the study of experts and scholars, which is where their value lies.
It is not long before the donation ceremony and press conference begins, let's take this batch of Dunhuang scriptures to the Taimiao, and at the press conference, I will explain in detail the original intention of donating this batch of Dunhuang scriptures."
Hearing this, Shan Lao immediately raised his hand to look at the time, then nodded and said:
"It's almost time, when we move this batch of Dunhuang scriptures to the Taimiao, and then put them at the press conference, it's ten o'clock in the morning, let's move."
Next, everyone got busy again, moving all the boxes containing the Dunhuang scriptures to the vehicles waiting outside the vault area.
After all the boxes were loaded, the escort convoy started slowly, moving forward in the red walls and green tiles of the Forbidden City, driving past the ancient and magnificent palaces, and heading straight for the Taimiao Temple outside the noon gate.
At this time, the Forbidden City had already been opened.
Tourists from all over the country and even from all over the world have entered the Forbidden City and are visiting everywhere.
Fortunately, today is the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, and many people are busy for the upcoming Spring Festival or are on their way home, so they don't have time to visit the Forbidden City.
Therefore, there are not many tourists in the Forbidden City, it is not as crowded as in the past, and when the escort convoy travels, it is relatively smooth and not blocked on the road.
When this escort convoy passed in front of people's eyes, it immediately attracted a lot of attention and caused a burst of discussions.
"What treasures are in those escort cars? It looks like they are going to be transported out of the Forbidden City, it's twenty-nine years old, where are they going to transport those treasures?"
"It shouldn't be transported out of the Forbidden City, when I came in just now, at the Working People's Cultural Palace, I saw a lot of media reporters, and they were heavily guarded, there should be activities over there, and these escort cars may be going there."
As he spoke, the escort convoy had already passed in front of people's eyes, and then drove out of the noon gate and went straight to the gate of the Taimiao, that is, the gate of the Working People's Cultural Palace.
Today, the Working People's Cultural Palace is not open to the public and does not accept tourists.
At the entrance to this magnificent palace complex, the police have set up a cordon to keep all visitors out.
At several entrances inside the cordon, the staff of the Forbidden City checked everyone's documents and invitation letters.
Only the many media reporters who have been invited, as well as the relevant staff with ID cards, are allowed to enter, and no one else is allowed to enter!
As soon as the convoy arrived, the staff of the Forbidden City pushed seven or eight luggage carts out of the temple, ready to transfer the boxes full of Dunhuang scriptures and transport them to the donation ceremony.
In addition to the staff of the Forbidden City, next to each luggage cart, there were also two heavily armed policemen, and they were all on guard.
Seeing this kind of scene, many media reporters gathered near the entrance of the Working People's Cultural Palace couldn't help but be stunned and very excited.
These guys with a keen sense of smell instantly affirmed that there would definitely be something big happening at today's press conference held in Taimiao.
Perhaps this major event can overwhelm the reports on the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala and the heat of the Spring Festival Gala in various places, and become today's headlines.
When many media reporters saw that Ye Tian got out of a black Mercedes-Benz SUV and landed in front of the Taimiao Gate, everyone immediately confirmed their guess.
But wherever this guy Ye Tian appears, something big must happen, no exception, and today is no exception!
Without the slightest hesitation, the many media reporters gathered at the gate of the Taimiao Temple suddenly rushed straight towards Ye Tian like a tide, and the fire of gossip in their eyes was blazing!
