Chapter 387: Humanism Pushes
After dealing with reporters, Gu Biao rushed to the final farewell luncheon, had a drink with a few important foreign guests, and said some words.
Then send the people to the car, Qiu Qing will arrange for them to get on the special train, and then go to Hujiang to take a plane to return to China.
As for the police who provided supporting services and the reporters who accompanied them to cover the news, they also dispersed one after another.
Gu Biao was originally scheduled to go back to Qiantang with the foreign businessman on the same day, but he received an appointment two days ago, so he decided to stay for an extra day and a half.
The person who made an appointment with him was Yoshihisa Yamashita, a professor at Kyoto University whom he had met more than five years ago.
is the person who was inspired by the truth exposed by Gu Biao back then, and finally defected to help Gu Biao destroy Wang Pingshan.
Yamashita Yoshihisa is a China expert, and he was originally a professor in the Department of History, so he often pays attention to the news and current affairs of the Chinese side. It seems that from some media, I saw that Gu Biao was going back to Qiantang, and held the inauguration ceremony of the Song Liuling Museum, and received foreign guests to visit.
So I hurriedly made a lot of phone calls to make an appointment, wanting to see Gu Biao.
Gu Biao originally felt that the relationship between the two was not deep, they hadn't been in touch for five years, and he was a busy man, so he didn't want to bird each other.
But Yamashita Yoshihisa said he was willing to donate the cultural relics he bought from Mr. Wang to the private museum.
As soon as he heard that the conditions were so good, Gu Biao took the time to see it.
In the afternoon of the same day, a few hours after the foreign businessmen left, Yamashita Yoshihisa hurried to Huiji, and then drove all the way up the mountain to meet Gu Ao.
The two sides chose a reception room in the museum to meet
"Professor Yamashita, don't come unharmed. I haven't seen you for five years, but you've improved academically. Gu Biao spoke to the other party.
Yamashita Yoshihisa knelt there and bowed his head: "Hey, Gu Sang, you are really a business wizard, in just five years, you can rise so fast."
IMHO, when I first met you five years ago, I didn't expect you to make such a big deal. And he can be so fond of protecting ancient culture and doing so many charitable deeds. I've heard that you donated to build these museums for no less than $2 million, and that's not even counting the artifacts inside. ”
Gu Biao smiled indifferently: "There are no cultural relics here now, just some worthless bottles and cans that have been searched seven or eight times and have leaked through the net, or the defective products that Professor Yamashita didn't want after you picked up the leaks back then."
Our money is mainly spent on antique buildings, as well as all kinds of high-quality fakes according to ancient books - the purpose of our museum is not to show off wealth with valuable things, but to play an educational role, so that children can learn history more intuitively and have a more immersive experience. ”
Yamashita Yoshihisa listened in awe: "That's really an advanced educational concept, Gu Sang's high style is bright, and it is rare in the world." In that case, this time the contemptible people should also be willing to donate the things they acquired five years ago—I have only one request, can I set up a separate showroom in this museum and name it after me?"
Gu Biao thought about it for a while, consulted a supervisor sent by the provincial cultural department, confirmed that there was no obstacle to the policy, and readily agreed.
"No problem, in the future, the exhibition hall next to it will be called 'Yamashita Yoshihisa Exhibition Hall'. I will also make you a custom bronze bust to put in the exhibition hall. ”
Those who are not profitable must have a good name, and Yamashita Yoshihisa wants to call himself the "Han and Tang Dynasty inheritance", which is not something that money can do.
When he bought so many things, he actually spent less than 100,000 yuan in total, which is enough for thousands of pieces.
However, in the past five years, time has passed, and the relevant national policies and standards have been stricter many times, and the international price of Chinese antiquities has risen dozens of times compared with 77 years (of course, there is still room for hundreds of times to rise in the next 30 years)
If Gu Biao wants to buy it back with money, he can't get it back without a few million. What's more, people like Yamashita Yoshihisa are not bad for money, and they don't want to sell it, so they can only hold him in their reputation and come back.
"Thank you so much! Gu Sang, I am glad for my decision back then. After listening to Gu Ao's decision, Yamashita Yoshihisa also had a wish.
The two chatted for a while, and first initialed the donation agreement.
The cultural relics can't be transported today, so Gu Biao took the other party to visit by the way.
Yamashita Yoshihisa's history teaching philosophy may be rather old-fashioned, but his vision for reading goods is very good. I can always see the source of many scene design concepts mentioned by Gu Biao, and give suggestions for improvement.
Gu Biao also asked Xiao Sui, who was accompanying him, to write them down one by one.
"This is ...... Is she in charge of your museum?" asked Yoshihisa Yamashita politely.
Gu Biao replied casually: "It's my lover, she's a literati, and I'm a businessman." Businessmen are not suitable for personal public welfare. ”
Xiao Sui also hurriedly humbled himself: "I'm ashamed, in fact, I don't study ancient literature, it's not quite right, it's just that there is no reliable person to take care of it now, so I'll just put on a name for the time being." If Professor Yamashita has a professional and reliable person to recommend, you are welcome to help with daily affairs. ”
Yamashita Yoshihisa hurriedly excused himself: "I very much want to recommend, but I think it is better for you Chinese to solve this kind of occasion by yourself." I believe that in the new era, there will be more and more Chinese people who respect history. ”
Gu Biao and Xiao Sui no longer insisted, they were originally polite.
However, Gu Biao also realized that he needed to slowly find a reliable talent to help him take care of specific public welfare undertakings, after all, Xiao Sui still preferred commercial creation, not ancient literature and historical research.
After visiting the Song Liuling Museum, Yamashita Yoshihisa went to see the Yue Wang Mausoleum Pavilion next door.
These places were already tea farms a few years ago, so there are still some tea trees and terraces around the area that have not been restored - as long as the land that is not used in the mausoleum building and the memorial hall, the tea trees and terraces can be retained, which is also one of Gu Biao's original restoration concepts, there is no need to overkill.
Yamashita Yoshihisa looked at it, praised it a little, and then noticed a small design.
It was a dammed depression in the mountains in front of the Yue Wang's Mausoleum Pavilion, planted with rice fields, and now it was March day, and farmers had already finished planting seedlings in the fields.
There are ancient agricultural tools from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period next to it, and even the production environment is retro, and the tree interprets the card.
"A rice field that mimics the production method of 2,500 years ago can be used as a historical and archaeological display? Gu Sang, is this the concept you call 'restoring Aboriginal life in imitation of the Royal Ontario Museum and the National Museum of New Zealand in Wellington'?
Yamashita Yoshihisa has also been to Canada and visited the Royal Ontario Museum - mainly because it is said that there are the most oracle bone inscriptions there, and Yamashita Yoshihisa is a researcher of ancient Chinese history, and he has a lot of money and conditions, so how can he not go to see it.
Most of the oracle bone inscriptions excavated during the Republic of China were sold to foreigners by Dutch locals, and most of them fell into the hands of Canadian collectors.
(Note: However, there is another theory, "Xiao Shuo" interviewed some archaeological experts, went to Royal Ontario to see it for himself, said that the main thing there is forgery.) At that time, the Dutch farmers in the Republic of China heard that white people liked to buy bones with characters at a high price, so they carved the cow bones with antique strokes, and then boiled them with the same formula as boiling tea leaves and eggs, and then buried them in the soil and dug them out again. At that time, foreigners were unprofessional, and most of them were deceived by this kind of bone. )
However, the design of Gu Xiao's side is obviously more quaint than the "Inuit Aboriginal Environment Restoration" designed by Royal Ontario, and there is nothing to look forward to.
Is there another mystery?
Just when Yamashita Yoshihisa was puzzled, Gu Biao explained with a smile: "Let Suizi tell you this, I didn't have time to plan at the beginning, but I just told her the design ideas and concepts, and she looked through the allusions found in the ancient books herself, so she wanted to restore them to facilitate history education." ”
Yamashita Yoshihisa hurriedly asked: "Please also ask Miss Xiao for advice." ”
Xiao Sui sorted out his thoughts: "Has Professor Yamashita read "Chinese"?"
Yamashita Yoshihisa: "Zuo Qiu Ming wrote "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" and "Chinese", of course, we have read all of us who study ancient Chinese history. ”
Xiao Sui: "Then you may not have noticed that there is a passage in the "Chinese", which records that in the seventh year after King Goujian of Yue was sent back by King Wu Fucha, the state of Wu was famine and borrowed grain from the state of Yue. Gou Jian didn't want to borrow it, so he discussed with Fan Li: Now his rice, crabs are not left to plant, what can it be? Translated, that is, Gou Jian feels that the rice seedlings of Wu this year have been plagued by crabs, and there will be a great hunger, whether he can take the opportunity to crusade against Wu.
However, Fan Li believes that 'Wu's death has appeared, and the personnel have not yet arrived, so it is advisable to delay it'. Therefore, Gou Jian endured the humiliation and burden, borrowed a batch of boiled and dried rice to the husband, as the grain of Wu State in the next year, and the next year Wu State planted this batch of cooked grain, and once again there was no harvest, and the national strength was hit hard again, and Gou Jian finally made up his mind to turn his face with Wu Guo.
These historical events, Professor Yamashita, you must have noticed them when you read ancient books, but you must not have noticed: Wu Guoren did not pay attention to the elimination of hairy crabs in the water source during the spring irrigation of the previous year, so the crab seedlings took advantage of the flooding of Yangcheng Lake and poured into the Gusu rice fields, and finally formed this catastrophe.
The exhibition area we have restored here today perfectly reproduces the agricultural operation scene of 2,500 years ago - using the dammed crab pond as the irrigation source of the rice field, using the agricultural tools and engineering environment of the year, and you can see that all the rice seedlings are harmed by hairy crabs in autumn.
With such vivid examples, I believe that the students who will take history classes in the future will no longer stay in cold voluntarism when they learn to 'lie down and taste the gall, and swallow Wu'. They will think, notice the accidents of history, and no longer be superstitious: perhaps, one-third of the reason for the fall of the state of Wu is just the disaster of hairy crabs?"
Yamashita Yoshihisa was speechless when he heard this.
"This ...... This...... This is really a novel view of history education, which can be regarded as a long insight today, and in comparison, our concept of history education is still too utilitarian, admire, admire.
Gu Sang, I always thought that I was indifferent to fame and fortune, but when I compared it with your public welfare deeds, I realized that it was a big thing. I've never seen a museum in Asia where Royal Ontario's concept of 'immersion' is in practice, and you're the first one, and your humanistic concept is so advanced. ”
Gu Biao smiled and cleared: "This is not my concept, it is my wife's concept, I just reminded me casually." ”
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
