Chapter 945: Christmas or Spring Festival Lantern Festival?
Chairman Fan originally thought that Su Huai's proposal was ridiculous, but at this time, he had confidence, secretly thought about it, and said to Su Huai:
"But I don't think it's enough to copy Sotheby's just to outnumber them, and now that things have come to this point, if we want to prove that our relics are more real and valuable than Sotheby's, then we have to have what they don't have. ”
"What do you mean......" Su Huai was slightly surprised, looked at the side and said in a low voice: "Porcelain ......?"
After the catastrophe, almost all of the Chinese collections looted by Sotheby's were dominated by gold, stone and jade, and the glaze of porcelain cultural relics was soaked in seawater, which had already fallen off, and the collections in the Ming Tomb were completely incomparable.
"Yes, we want to make a batch of porcelain as soon as possible. Chairman Fan nodded.
Su Huai has always been concerned about the news in this regard, and said in a low voice:
"But Fan Bo, I heard that the ceramic relics in the filial piety tomb have just been restored, and the people of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have only checked their composition, and they have not yet studied the production method...... The conditions are not yet ripe. ”
In fact, he was privately developing ceramics in Huaxia College, but he was unsuccessful, although the process of ceramics is not complicated, but many of the key data have to go through countless repeated experiments.
Although they have been secretly able to make rough ceramics, the process is still too far behind, so it has not been announced to the public.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences, I'm afraid it's not as good as them, and it's probably impossible to imitate the exquisite ancient Song porcelain.
"This ...... I'll tell you later. Chairman Fan did not talk in detail, and motioned to Su Huai to stand in the stands, because now Secretary-General An has sat back on the rostrum and started the most important topic of the day.
"The United Nations General Assembly has just correctly confirmed that the Lunar New Year and Lantern Festival are international legal holidays......"
When everyone received the news just now, there was also an uproar, the representatives of Europe and the United States all cursed in a low voice, while the representatives of Asia were all jubilant, and the recognition of the Yanhuang Lunar Festival this time really greatly improved the status of oriental civilization.
Although Su Huai was happy, he didn't quite understand that there was nothing to argue about in this matter, the United Nations General Assembly had decided that UNESCO was only responsible for literary and artistic matters, what could they do.
But the next sentence of Secretary-General An pointed out the focus of contention between the two sides:
"So now, we at UNESCO are faced with the fact that the Christmas and New Year holidays and the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival holidays are also very important, but our UNESCO New Year's Gala and activities are held once a year, which festival is it arranged? Is it Christmas and New Year Week, or between the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival?"
Hearing this, Su Huai suddenly realized why UNESCO was making a big noise because of the new festival~
It turns out that UNESCO has a welcome party and a celebration of the New Year's week, isn't this in conflict with the purity party and the Lantern Festival lantern festival that he is going to organize? No wonder there is a disturbance.
Kirk also stood up at this time, and preached solemnly to the crowd:
"The next bill we are discussing is very important and concerns all of us, it is not only a change in cultural and artistic activities, but also affects all aspects of the entire world civilization, and it also has a huge impact on the founding concept of UNESCO.
We at UNESCO represent the supreme institution of the human cultural system and guide the direction of the entire human cultural system.
Fifty years ago, we at UNESCO established a grand cultural and artistic event on Christmas and Chinese New Year's Eve, with the aim of allowing people from different countries in the world to put aside their barriers and prejudices at this moment of celebration, and celebrate the common festival of mankind together.
Whether you are a New European, a Europa, an Asian, an African, no matter your age, whether you are a meditator in India or the royal family of Jordan, they all embrace each other and celebrate the festival in the name of My Son Jesus.
But today, there are people who want to change all that, to change our values at UNESCO, to change our spirit, to change our UNESCO traditions. ”
Speaking of this, Kirk, as a strong candidate for the next Secretary-General of UNESCO, also said in a seditious tone:
"As guardians of UNESCO's traditions, we need to protect each other's values from being changed......"
After Kirk's declaration of "upholding Christmas traditions", the audience burst into applause.
Many white delegates applauded vigorously and said:
"Christmas is the most important holiday for mankind~!
"We've stuck to a tradition of 50 years, and we can't change it. ”
"Chairman Ke is right, tradition is the most important thing. ”
Although Su Huai has always been strong, he also understands the importance of Christmas to Europeans and Americans, thinking that this kind of thing doesn't need to fight, isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds, frowned:
"Secretary-General An, since everyone has differences on this matter, why can't we do it separately? Asia is Asian, and Europe and the United States are European-American?"
Russell suddenly said angrily:
"How can that be done! According to the usual practice, the UNESCO New Year's Party is attended by the world's major literary and art federations, and the annual ratings are so high, so it has obtained so many sponsors' contracts.
Several other European and American representatives also said:
"Yes~ The contract we signed with the advertiser includes all the top performers of the various literary and literary associations, and if the two groups of performances are separated, it will be an obvious breach of contract. ”
"The most important thing is that the whole world knows that our UNESCO welcome party is the most exciting, all the singers and entertainers will rehearse the best show for a few months, if we hold two galas, the show will either be repeated or the quality will be reduced, so we can only do it once a year!"
Su Huai then understood that there was a relationship of interest in it, and this welcome activity has always been based on the Christmas culture of Europe and the United States, and various brand promotions and cultural activities are all Christmas-themed activities, which has formed a very strong global business atmosphere.
The European and American sides broadcast Christmas culture, influencing the world, and creating huge commercial benefits, and they simply cannot tolerate a welcome event of the same magnitude as them in Asia, and compete with them for business.
After all, although Europe and the United States are extremely strong culturally, their population is far less than that of Asia, and the market is not as good as that of Asia.
What kind of tradition does Kirk say, glory those beautiful words, to put it bluntly, it is just a benefit.
