There is also a dragon dance team on the mural, the dragon body is coiled, and there are people holding the pearl in front of the dragon's head, which is vivid, and it is completely the Chinese folk dragon playing with pearls.

When Zhou Sen saw this pattern, he felt very kind, he didn't expect that there would be such a mural in Malaysia, so Xiao Fang nodded and smiled.

"Yes, Malaysia has been influenced by traditional Chinese culture, the Silk Road, but also increased the trade between China and neighboring countries, and the Chinese culture has also been transmitted to neighboring countries, traditional culture is still very charming, such as Chinese poetry, contains a lot of philosophy, many people like it very much, deeply attracted by Chinese culture. ”

"Yes, these are traditional treasures, some of our young people now are learning the popular trends of Europe and the United States, chasing stars, learning too many things, forgetting a lot of traditional Chinese culture, I sometimes, go abroad for interviews, and find that other countries still attach great importance to our cultural treasures, carving our Chinese poems on stone tablets, and there are many beautiful verses, written down in calligraphy, hanging on the walls of the home, as art to appreciate. ”

"I feel very proud, really proud of China, we China is a big country in the East, 5,000 years of civilization, let our culture be brilliant, we also have to carry forward the fine traditions of our ancestors, but also learn from some countries, learn from their advantages, take their essence, go to the dross. ”

Zhou Sen followed Xiao Fang to look at the display case, which contains a detailed record that in 1405, Zheng He went to the West for the first time, spreading advanced culture and technology along the way with the idea of "thick and thin", sowing the seeds of peace and friendship.

Zheng He came to Manraka five times, which is now Malacca, and it is recorded here that the Malay people loved Zheng He, not only because of his bravery, but also because of his peace and friendship.

At that time, with the equipment of his fleet, he could occupy Malacca, but Zheng He's fleet came here full of Chinese treasures, and at the same time brought China's advanced culture and technology, which led to the prosperity of Malacca, and Malacca later became a famous port still has a lot to do with Zheng He.

Malacca has been controlled by foreign invaders several times in its history, and Zheng He is not like them, he is a friend of the Malay people.

Xiao Fang said: "I personally like Zheng He very much, he respects the cultures and beliefs of all ethnic groups, and gets along with people of all ethnic groups, and I admire his friendliness and tolerance. ”

Zhou Sen nodded, "In history, the Chinese have sent friendship to the world, China opposes aggression, never relies on brute force to invade like other powers, occupies other people's land, the invader does not conform to the people's heart, will inevitably be resisted, history proves that the invaders have failed, so it is still peaceful development, passing on friendship to the world, in order to win the respect of the world." ”

"Yes, that's true!"

Blue and White Porcelain Popular The National Museum has a collection of ancient Chinese tortoiseshell furniture, costumes, spinning wheels, and a variety of Chinese porcelain.

Speaking of porcelain, Zhou Sen's box opened, "I like our Chinese porcelain very much, when I went to Jingdezhen last time, I also bought a few pieces of blue and white porcelain, our Chinese blue and white porcelain porcelain is really beautiful, the production process is really amazing, the porcelain surface is very delicate, smooth, and there is not a single bubble on the surface, indicating that the craftsmanship of the firing craftsman is very skilled." ”

"I also learned, making pottery, in addition to money, go to the training class, let the teacher teach, but I lack experience, how to do it can't do well, I know that it is easy to look at, and it is not easy to really do it yourself!"

"It really takes a lot of patience, but also a spirit of excellence, it's really not easy to persevere, and it's not easy to endure loneliness, it's not easy to get the recognition of others!"

"After the firing is successful, it is also necessary to paint on the surface of the porcelain, let the pattern dry, and then return to the furnace, and when it is dry, it will not fade, and it will be fixed and formed. ”

"I've experienced this process before, so I don't think it's easy!"

Xiao Fang pointed to the blue and white porcelain in front of a large display case of fine porcelain and said that ancient Chinese blue and white porcelain was the most popular at that time.

Zhou Sen looked at it in the past, it was indeed very good, the surface was very smooth, like a large disc, and there were fine patterns on it, which looked very exquisite.

Zheng He's fleet brought blue and white porcelain to Africa, where it was regarded as a treasure, and archaeology found that some nobles also inlaid blue and white porcelain on tombstones, which shows how many places Zheng He went to at that time, Zheng He's influence on the world is still great, he is a Chinese navigator, is a warrior, strong and brave, as long as he wants to go, even if there are difficulties, he will find a way to overcome difficulties and go to the place he wants to go.

The people of Southeast Asia also loved the blue and white porcelain brought by Zheng He, and Zheng He's fleet brought the local Boqing and Su Ni back to China when they passed through Sumatra and Kalimantan, bringing China's porcelain production to a higher level.

Zheng He's introduction of Chinese porcelain and civilization to the Malay people, and the fact that it provided him with better materials and contributed to the improvement of Chinese porcelain making further confirmed that cultural exchange is mutual, and that Zheng He is a friendly ambassador for promoting cultural exchange.

Looking at the exhibits, Zhou Sen felt that the collection of this museum was still very good, and Xiao Fang nodded, "It is a repository of Malaysia's rich cultural and historical heritage, and there are many wonderful exhibits, let's go over and have a look." ”

The museum displays many exquisite handicrafts and excavated cultural relics, as well as items related to nature, history, art, and folklore, animal specimens, wax figures showing the costumes and folk customs of the past dynasties, and there are also exhibits such as old locomotives, classic cars and antique Malay palaces in the open-air exhibition area.

Malaysia's archaeological, historical and economic historical materials from the Pre-Stone Age to the modern era, as well as historical materials such as traditional dramas, shadow puppets and customs and folklore, as well as historical materials of agriculture and mining, as well as local endemic tropical plant and animal specimens, among which Malayan shellfish are the most colorful.

Zhou Sen followed Xiao Fang and found that there were really many exhibits in this museum, displaying all kinds of items, from kitchen utensils, household items, ritual decorations, to weapons and musical instruments.

"It's quite interesting, I found that the Malay instruments are different from ours, which is quite fresh!"

The museum will also exhibit some of Malaysia's traditional programs, unique customs, and Chinese festivals, which are also very similar to China's festivals, from the origin of the Lantern Festival, to how Hokkien people worship Tiangong, the origin of the 12 zodiac signs, the meaning of unique gifts and foods, and how to celebrate.

This made Zhou Sen feel very cordial, but he didn't expect Malaysia to retain a lot of traditional Chinese festivals, and I heard Xiaofang say that there are many Chinese who come to Malaysia from Guangdong, Fujian, Fujian, and Chaozhou, so the flow of population will also bring culture, and the culture will blend.

The museum also hosts a number of exhibitions on a regular basis, and various activities are also held during the exhibition period, including lion dance with Chinese characteristics, paper-cutting culture, Penang puppet show, etc.

This makes Zhou Sen feel even more cordial, some traditional culture, in the modern city gradually forgotten, I didn't expect to see it in a foreign country, so that Zhou Sen also misses this kind of traditional festival even more, lion dance, paper-cutting, puppet show, which have the beauty of traditional Chinese art.
