Chapter 494: It Should Not Be Forgotten
When everyone approached, they found a stone box dug up, and a notebook was placed inside.
A very old man in the village, who is a little unskillful in his hands and feet, is one of the elders of the village and one of the two most educated old people, and used to be a teacher who taught children to read and write in the village.
He opened his notebook, and there were words written with a brush. This old man still recognizes the handwriting on it.
"That's right! The old man said tremblingly.
Hearing him say this, they already understood who left it.
Didn't the village chief say that the ancestral hall was built by a feng shui master in the village, and he also got the stone lion back. Well, this note is what he left behind.
The audience in the live broadcast room quieted down, wanting to see what clues the other party had left behind, and where did these magnificent stone statues come from.
The village chief squeezed over and asked, "Third uncle, what did it say?"
The clan elder had already flipped through several pages, but he only read it by himself, and he didn't reveal it to everyone at all, so everyone was anxious.
The old man glared at the village chief: "What's the hurry? Aren't I reading? In the notes, the origin of these treasures is naturally recorded.
Speaking of more than a hundred years ago, when the great powers invaded, a group of Russians entered the country.
They didn't know where they got the news, they learned the exact location of a Tang tomb, and they chose to dig ...... devastatingly."
It turned out that more than 100 years ago, this feng shui master teamed up with some people in the rivers and lakes to not only destroy a small number of Tsarist Russians, but also intercept the treasures they had excavated and were ready to transport away. Those gold and silver treasures have been divided among the heroes of the green forest, and these precious stone carvings are left, which are brought back by the feng shui master and quietly buried in the ground with the construction of the ancestral hall.
The audience in the live broadcast room applauded when they learned of such a period of history.
As for those gold and silver treasures, they were divided among the people in the green forest, and everyone didn't feel pity at all, it was better than being taken away by the gringos, at least it was cheaper for their own people.
"Haha! Good grab. β
"It's very happy, at that time, we in China were really robbed of too many treasures. β
"In the past, Maozi was not a good thing, he robbed our treasures, and robbed us of our territory, and by the way, he also divided Outer Mongolia, which is really fucking bad. β
"It's like they've been bad now, and if it weren't for the common enemy, the United States, I guess we would be the most likely to have territorial disputes with them. β
"Think about it! How many of the national treasures in their Hermitage Museum, which we call the Winter Palace, are Chinese? And what can you do if they say they will never return them?"
"I'm grass!"
......
The Hermitage Museum is the most famous attraction in Russia, even more famous than the Kremlin and Red Square. Named after the Louvre, the Met, the British Museum.
In this museum, you can see the collection of artefacts from all over the world during the Tsarist period: countless sculptures, paintings, gold, precious stones, etc.
Among them, the third floor of the museum is the Chinese Room, which exhibits countless Chinese screens, large cloisonnΓ©, precious mahogany furniture, Buddha statues, murals, Buddhist scriptures, ancient paintings, porcelain and so on.
Some of them are even national treasures that the Palace Museum does not have.
And their sources are basically plundered in China during the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, such as the familiar Mogao Grottoes incident, the burning of the Old Summer Palace, and so on.
It is precisely like this, when the audience in the live broadcast room heard that these were brought back by robbing the Tsarist Russians, they all applauded.
Who said that Feng Shui guys are all liars, and who said that robbers are all hateful? When the country is in danger, even the pig killers can shoulder a responsibility.
The term "the husband is responsible" is not just a random coinage.
"I think the antiquities department should collect information about this feng shui master and record his deeds. This kind of hero who saved cultural relics should not be forgotten. β
"It's not an exaggeration to erect a monument to him. β
At that time, there were too many people who contributed silently. β
......
Seeing the messages from the audience in the live broadcast room, Hu Yang kept an eye on it, and planned to wait for someone from the cultural relics department to come over and talk to them about it.
With the thoughts of the villagers in this village, they definitely want the country to remember the names of the people in their village, and they will have more face when they say it in the future!
The people of the relevant departments moved very quickly, and in just over an hour, they had already gathered a large group of people to enter the village.
When they saw the excavated stone statues, they were also shocked. On the phone, it has been explained that it is a considerable number of stone statues, but when you really see it, the shock is even more speechless.
Not only cultural relics experts, but also archaeological experts, etc., began to work one by one.
The people from the police station cordoned off the scene, and the commanders communicated with the village chief and others outside, hoping that the villagers would actively cooperate.
As for the two stone lions, they seem to have heard about it, but they didn't subconsciously mention it at this time, anyway, they have used it for more than a hundred years, and it has been sold, and they still mention the two stone lions, isn't it boring to talk about themselves?
People can report these cultural relics, which is already very ideologically conscious, so there is no need to be too demanding.
"Village chief, this note, our archaeological experts first save and study, and some of the information in it is very useful to us. When that's done, if you want to come back, we'll return it in good condition, so don't worry. A professor and village chief said.
The village chief has been "persuaded" by Populus euphratica, and in the face of these people, he knows how to discuss.
Now, there is not much point in keeping this notebook, and it is more important to make a name for the feng shui master of your village.
So, he discussed: "You can take the notebook, these national treasures are the ancestors of our village who came back with their fate, and we hope that his name can be recorded." β
This is not a very excessive request, in fact, even if the village chief does not mention it, they will search, improve, and then record the information about the owner of this note. When remarking this batch of cultural relics, it is inevitable that he must be mentioned.
Therefore, hearing the village chief's request, the man smiled and said: "Don't worry! We will do this thing, and we will not forget Mr. Lai's dedication, he is a hero who saved cultural relics." β
According to preliminary statistics, the number of stone carvings here has reached more than 100, what is this concept? Even those famous grottoes, it is difficult to preserve so many exquisite stone carvings intact.
Now, they are studying who these stone statues belong to in the Tang Dynasty.
Populus euphratica avoided contact with people from the cultural relics department, and it was enough for the village chief to contact them.
At lunchtime, Hu Yang and the others came to the patriarch's house, and the village chief was not invited.
