Chapter 403: Porcelain Maniac

This story is very attractive to everyone to listen to, and Qu Lihua is also very interesting to listen to, and everyone hopes that Robin will continue to talk about it.

"Robin, we all like to listen to it, we think it's funny, we didn't know there would be so many stories before, listening to you, it's really an eye-opener, I like to listen to it!"

"Hahaha, everyone is satisfied, I'm happy, I'll continue to tell you about it, these stories are still quite interesting!"

"This king is really fond of porcelain, to the point of obsession!"

When Potgeal claimed to have made porcelain, Augustus II immediately imprisoned Pottel until he died of depression to prevent the recipe from leaking. ”

"The most famous porcelain maniac in Europe collected 24,000 pieces of Chinese porcelain in his lifetime, 60 percent of which were Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain, which filled his palace with his ingenious displays, and in Dresden's palace, the blue fireworks were like lightning. ”

"One would think that the king could have everything, power, money, and that he could have whatever he wanted, but in reality he had his own troubles, and Augustus II, who was often like an angry little daughter-in-law, liked to sit quietly in his porcelain palace. ”

In this blue and white world, he felt that he was Peter the Great, the greatest monarch of all of Europe, who did not have to look at anyone's face, and only here did he enjoy a rare moment of carefree pleasure. ”

"Just like Napoleon, he also built the Louvre, and treasured all the treasures he liked in the Louvre, when he sat in the palace, he felt very happy, the paintings, the treasures were collected by him, they were all their efforts, and he would feel very happy when he looked at them, because these collections were collected by Napoleon a lot of time, and he liked to collect them very much, and he spent his painstaking efforts, and it was not easy to get, so he would cherish them. ”

"The same is true of Augustus II, who, apart from the nationwide pursuit of porcelain, would this spiritually paranoid and unreasonable man often fall into the fantasies of a rich man who produced blue and white porcelain in his previous life, and Marco Polo's travels claimed to be a country full of spices?"

"Those blue and white porcelain pavilions, flowers, birds, insects and fish were once really owned by him, and Poland, where he is located, is just a foreign land that he accidentally wandered into in this life?"

"These questions, everyone asks, and some of them have not been answered, after all, he is already a historical figure and no longer knows him. ”

Robin also sighed, "In the eyes of others, his crazy behavior of collecting blue and white porcelain is more like a poor wanderer relieving his homesickness in an incorrigible way!"

Qu Lihua said: "People will have their own favorite things, just like many young male netizens, they like netizens, big online games, but also to the level of obsession, go to the game hall after school to play games, skip meals, sometimes feel very happy to play games, games deeply attract them." ”

"Yes!" Meng Wenjie nodded, "Yes, young people are also very obsessed with one thing now, but the obsession is different, everyone has their own preferences, what they like, if you like it, you will feel very happy!"

"This person who loves porcelain so much can't control his desire to buy Chinese porcelain, including blue and white, a bit like the young women who are now obsessed with online shopping, who have been chopping their hands and buying non-stop, although they know that they can't buy too much, they still can't control themselves. ”

"People have desires, live, always according to their own preferences, to be themselves, this Polish king, put his dreams on the collection, the collection can make him feel happy!"

"If you don't understand, let's introduce his other experiences!"

"When Augustus II was imposing what he believed to be the right system, he incurred the displeasure of the large landowners and the minor nobles, and to the displeasure of Peter I, who sent an army to attack and occupy Poland and forced him to sign a humiliating agreement providing for the withdrawal of his troops from Poland. ”

He was reluctant to admit it, but the reality that could not be changed was that the economic situation of the country he managed continued to deteriorate due to too many wars and the intervention of Russia, Prussia and Austria. ”

This makes him very painful, men all want to save face, no one can be willing to submit to others, but in reality he can't get the honor he wants, he encounters frustration, it's just too uncomfortable, and if he is in a bad mood, he will find other outlets. ”

Only the constant construction of palaces and the collection of works of art will give this famous Polish king and woman of the 17th and 18th centuries a lasting sense of accomplishment in the eyes of the most famous Polish kings and women in the world. ”

"Only by constantly erecting magnificent and splendid palaces in front of him will Augustus II find comfort in his constant frustrations. In 1701 he presided over the construction of the Dresden Royal Palace, and in 1705-1708 he built the Turkish Palace. ”

"In 1709-1719 he built the monumental Zwinger Palace, and in 1720 he built a 'water palace' on the banks of the Elbe in Dresden to escape the heat. ”

In 1721, a hill palace was built behind the water palace, and in the following ten years, he presided over the construction of the Grossedlitz Garden, the Friedrich Palace, the water palace and the mountain palace of the Pillnitz Palace, the Moritzburg Hunting Palace, and the Pygaard Palace. ”

"I'll take you to visit these palaces, because of the age, some have been preserved, some are a little broken, and some can be restored by later generations, and some relics can also be left. ”

Robin took everyone to visit, which made Qu Lihua very emotional.

In the palace, Qu Lihua saw an oil portrait of Augustus II, neatly dressed, from the prince who was lucky to be chosen as the king of Poland, riding a white tall steed, wearing a top hat, and looking full of spirit.

Although the world's evaluation of him is only the madness of obsessing with porcelain, but standing in front of this oil picture, listening to Robin explain his life experience, Qu Lihua allows me to travel through time and space, and can have a dialogue with this stubborn obsessive Polish king who is obsessed with collecting porcelain.

"But no one can understand me, they just see the appearance, many people think that I just spend too much energy where I shouldn't be, some playthings are lost, but the world doesn't know that when I don't go well, the war is frustrated, I am persecuted, I am depressed. ”

"How can you get calm, only in the construction of Ono Diang, the collection of favorite treasures, can you feel joy and solace. ”

"Now, history is long gone, and the evaluation of me by future generations is no longer important.

Looking at the oil painting, Qu Lihua sighed very emotionally, "Yes, it is much better for people to die and leave a name than to be unknown, no one is perfect, an objective and fair evaluation is enough!"
