Chapter 168: The Strongest Loser in History
There was a roar in the distance, and I heard that it was a warm waterfall, which came from the grandeur and abundance of hot springs, and gathered into a stream of flowing water, which flew straight down when it encountered the decline of the terrain.
Although the drop is only more than 20 meters, the heat evaporated by this stream of heat and splashing beads of water is a rare fantasy wonder......
The hottest hot spring in Jigokudani is over 90 degrees Celsius, so it's basically cooked and ready to serve.
There are no beauties around, so I enjoy a rare purity, and the next day I go down the mountain and return to the city. Come to the National Palace in Taipei, find a tour guide, and increase your cultural literacy.
"This is the jade cabbage known as the three treasures of the Forbidden City!" The tour guide led Johnson to the exhibition hall, pointed to the crowded display cabinet, and said proudly: "Mao Gongding, flesh-shaped stone and jade cabbage, the treasure of our town hall!"
Johnson admired the name for a long time, and looked closely, the size was very small, less than 20 centimeters, it was a small cabbage. The material is Burmese jade, the color is blue and white, meaning innocence.
There are mantis locusts and two insects on the dish, which represent many children and grandchildren. This is a plug-in, and the cabbage gang is inserted on a wooden pallet, which is said to be the dowry of Concubine Guangxu.
The last time I visited the Forbidden City, I heard the tour guide talk about it, and no one paid attention to this little cabbage in the Qing Dynasty, and in the process of transporting it to Taipei, it also knocked a bug leg to the ground, and the appearance is not particularly complete.
However, after being exhibited in Taipei, it became famous and became popular overnight, because the similarity with real cabbage was too high.
In fact, there are many similar treasures in the Qing Dynasty, such as the ivory radish and ivory cabbage in the Henan Provincial Museum. There are porcelain crabs in the Forbidden City, all of which are the same as the real ones.
It can only be said that people here are shallow-eyed, and they have never seen good things, thinking that jade cabbage is a treasure unparalleled in the world.
As for the flesh-shaped stone next to it, it is not worth mentioning, it is just a jade-like stone with layers of colored stripes. Craftsmen dye and punch holes on the top to create a visual effect similar to braised pork.
In Johnson's view, the key element of the so-called strange stone national treasure is its rarity, and there is no uniqueness in jade cabbage and flesh-shaped stones, especially flesh-shaped stones, which can basically be made as much as you want.
Any strange stone museum in China can casually put hundreds of pieces, so easy!
Listening to the boast of the tour guide next to him, he can only say that it is rare and strange. To say that the selling point is just in line with the habits of Chinese people who love to eat, coupled with the official hype, it is becoming more and more popular, and even the restaurants next to it have launched two dishes of jade cabbage and meat-shaped stone at a high price, making a lot of money.
In front of the real baby, Ruyao azure three-legged pen wash, the only one in the world. Brother Ruguan Junding, the first in the world of Ru kiln. No more than 90 pieces survived, and the auction price was 300 million yuan a few years ago, which can be called a dream-level collection.
The tour guide pointed to the documentary played on the big screen and said proudly: "In order to better display this magnificent treasure, we specially filmed a documentary, called the sound of nature." ”
Johnson watched the documentary, I have to say that it is very careful, from the picture to the sound effects are carefully carved, and the opening song is supervised by the well-known producer Xiao Worm.
The beauty of the stream, the fish know, the dependence of tears and outpouring, it is difficult to separate, the softness of the wind, the mountain knows, the story left in the millennium, it is hard to forget......
The singing voice lingers like a light smoke mist, and the audience is unconsciously attracted and unable to extricate themselves. The melody is heavy and deep, the sound is clear and light, and there is a clarity that penetrates history.
Like a pair of smart wings that take you over the mountains, over the fields, looking down on the earth, seeing the prosperity of the world, and finally falling gently in the corner of the heart, only the sound lingers......
SC Johnson doesn't know porcelain, but he likes celadon the most, and the color between green and blue always calms the mind at once, and there are no distractions.
Especially the simple and simple shape, extremely elegant, perfect to the extreme, as if a little more ornamentation, are all painted snakes, tyrannical things.
sheer
Clean!
"This is one of the treasures of the town hall Mao Gongding......"
Listening to the tour guide's introduction, Johnson always felt that the historical mission carried by the bronzes was too heavy and even depressing.
Bronze has fundamentally changed agricultural farming, but it has made war and killing more bloody, which makes bronze shrouded in an impenetrable chill that makes people stay away.
After a brief visit, it was found that the artistic aesthetic orientation of each dynasty often depended on the artistic taste and cultivation of the rulers at that time. The emperors who appeared most in the National Palace in Taipei were Song Huizong and Qianlong.
One is a true artist, a confused monarch, and the other is a shrewd emperor, an old man, a vassal and elegant literati.
Don't look at the emperors, compared with Song Huizong, Qianlong is much happier. Throughout the emperors of the past dynasties, no one sat as comfortably on the dragon chair as he was.
When he was a child, he was appointed as the successor by his grandfather Kangxi, who leveled the three feudal domains, signed the Treaty of Nebuchu, and recovered the treasure island, removing all political obstacles for him.
Lao Tzu Yongzheng ruled the world rigorously, filled the inner treasury, and left a prosperous world. So he had the time, energy, and financial resources to live a chic life, and went to the south of the Yangtze River seven times, and countless romantic stories were spread among the people.
He loves poetry and writing, and with a wave of the royal pen, he is a sycophant and has left more than 40,000 poems. The treasures of the world, playing in the palm of the hand, on a whim, chanting poems and carvings, do whatever you want.
The biggest criticism left to future generations is that they like to write inscriptions everywhere, even Ru kiln can not escape the poisonous hands, why do you use your hands and feet to destroy the beauty of art for a complete work of art?
Wang Gang commented that Qianlong was a good person, thinking that Sun Wukong flew to the edge of the sky, and still peed on Rulai's fingers, leaving the words Sun Dasheng to visit here?
can be called the strongest loser in history!
Leaving the exhibition hall, I was taken to the cultural relics store next to it, looking at the various wonderful products on the counter, the tour guide picked up one with great interest and displayed: "This is the hottest creative product now, each one only costs 200 Taiwan dollars, and 500 boxes are on the shelves on the same day, which are sold out instantly, creative and practical." ”
Johnson took it, and it turned out to be duct tape, in various colors, with a few words written on it:
I know?
"This is a must-have jade cabbage umbrella during a thunderstorm in the hot summer afternoon, half green, half white, sunny and rainy, and it is the most eye-catching commodity when you go out......"
"This is the newly launched iceberg foot tide socks, combined with Ruyao ice crack and Longquan celadon design, there are three colors: hot pink, sky blue, and cool black......"
"This is the most cultural connotation, Fuchun Mountain Jutu tea mat, every time you gently spread out, the picture slowly stretches like a picture scroll. The brush is clear when viewed up close, and the stroke is soft and delicate. Use food-grade silicone, can be used in microwave oven, safe and non-toxic......"
"The national treasure Tang Sun Guoting book, combined with modern silicone soft material, designed this men's handbag. A hook and a line are printed on the bag, and there is more Qianlong appreciation of the emperor's domineering blessing, and you go out with a calm, introverted and extraordinary temperament......"
"The cute bear's outstretched hands are just the place where the earphone cable is wrapped, and you can hold the shape of the bundle earphone cable, and the hand will sort out the lines on the left and right sides, which is called cutting and untidying and messing ,......"
Johnson looked at all kinds of strange products and was dumbfounded, how can he still play like this?
