Chapter 1072: Sword Shrine Suspicion
Highly recommended:
It was an ordinary morning, and the clouds blocked the daylight, bringing a coolness rarely seen in summer. "Le" Wen "Xiao" said|
"Huh!" Spit out a mouthful of sour gas with the smell of bean juice, Zhao Xilin rubbed his stomach, "I accidentally ate too much." ”
Lin Chen glared at him, "Be upright!
This is the world's largest city square, with the famous castle tower engraved on the national emblem and the eye-catching national flagpole in the north, the Heroes Monument and Memorial Hall in the south, the City Hall in the west, and the National Museum in the east.
Zhao Xilin didn't bother to argue with the other party about whether he should be "nervous and serious" or "united and lively", and stretched out his finger and pointed to the crowded National Museum, "Look over there! If you don't go quickly, just wait in line until noon!"
Lin Chen had no experience in buying train tickets for the Spring Festival and star concerts, and when he suddenly saw the long line, he was also full of surprise, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Didn't you say that the museum didn't open until nine o'clock? Why are there so many people now?"
Today is a weekday when there are fewer people, and there are more people on weekends and Golden Week. ”
"Oh!" Lin Chen nodded, speeding up his pace to catch up with his friend.
In fact, they had already come to the National Museum yesterday afternoon, but unfortunately neither of them did their homework beforehand, and when they arrived there, they found that the National Museum was closed on Monday and did not receive visitors, so they had to go to other places stupidly.
Because the weekends usually see a peak in visitors, museums around the world usually close on Mondays to tidy up their collections and overhaul equipment while taking a break from the narrator's voice. While some museums are closed on Tuesdays or even holidays, Mondays are the most common. Lin Zhao and his wife are both office workers, and they rarely walk into this kind of place, so they are not clear about this convention.
After spending the night in a nearby hotel, the brothers went out before sunrise to watch the flag-raising ceremony that began at 4:45 in the morning, and then leisurely ran to eat a Beijing breakfast of bean juice burnt circles and salty tofu brain, and then stepped on the morning light to return to the square.
After renovation and expansion, the main building of the National Museum is now more dignified, and the decoration of the Venus Red Flag on the west gate is still retained, echoing the national emblem hanging outside the Great Hall opposite.
People poured in from all directions, walked to the front of the museum's west gate, and consciously joined the three teams.
As the largest comprehensive museum in the country, and also implements a free and open policy, as long as you show your ID to register your identity, you can enter, which naturally attracts everyone's yearning, and it is not surprising that there is a long queue outside.
In front of the exhibition hall, the tourists who came to visit temporarily formed the longest queue, and under the constraints of the telescopic fence, they lined up in an "N" shape on the north side of the west gate, silently waiting to receive tickets to enter.
The witty boys and scheming girls who made appointments in advance through the Internet and text messages stood in the queue on the south side, and the number of reservations per day was only 1,500 people.
Normally, there are only these two teams at the door, and the third team that appeared today is a special situation that does not occur often.
Public museums/art galleries have their own collections, and they use these collections to arrange permanent exhibitions, such as the National Museum, which has two permanent exhibitions, "Ancient Chinese History" and "The Road to Rejuvenation". In addition, public museums usually set aside a certain mobile area for temporary display of third-party exhibits, which is called "special exhibition" (literally translated as special exhibitioure exhibition).
Since 2008, public museums have begun to implement the free opening policy, but special exhibitions will also charge admission fees ranging from 10~50 yuan, which has gradually become the standard configuration of free museums.
Six years ago, the National Museum, which had just completed its renovation and expansion and reopened its doors to welcome visitors, unexpectedly cooperated with the French brand Louis Vuitton (Louis Vuitton) to hold the "Louis Vuitton Art Time and Space Journey" exhibition, displaying a variety of classic bags and related cultural relics since LV was founded in 1854. A few months later, they collaborated with the Italian brand Bvlgari to launch the "125 Years of Classic Italian Design Art Exhibition", which showcased more than 600 pieces of Bulgari's classic jewelry and watches.
Although under the banner of art exhibitions, the National Museum's move still caused huge controversy.
Proponents argue that luxury goods are both designed and topical, balancing the singularity and distance of traditional artifacts, which in turn can help attract more people to museums. However, opponents have raised the banner that "state-owned museums can't afford to do business" and violently criticized the cooperation between museums and enterprises, believing that this is unorthodox and unseemly.
As a result, it seems that the opposition has gained the upper hand slightly, and the National Museum has reduced its business cooperation, but it has not stopped holding various special exhibitions, and today there is a paid exhibition called "Gentleman Like Jade: Gongzi Fusu Figures Exhibition" is underway.
As a special exhibition, the "Fusu Exhibition" has a special ticket window and a waiting queue, and the number of people waiting in line is also the smallest.
Walking to the end of the team and standing up, Zhao Xilin couldn't help but complain about his boss, "The boss is really powerful, and he sent the game exhibition to the National Museum." Properly selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, no, it is a game of selling on the head of a person. ”
The core exhibit of the "Fusu Exhibition" is the skull of a Qin Dynasty aristocratic man suspected to be Gongzi Fusu, as well as the portrait and statue of Gongzi Fusu restored from this skull.
In 1976, archaeologists discovered a group of burial tombs on the east side of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and through excavation, seven skeletons of five men and two women, as well as high-end burial goods such as gold, silver, jade shells, lacquerware and silk fragments. The bones were very messy, some with arrows stuck in their heads, some with their heads detached, some with limbs separated from their torsos, and they were apparently killed.
Combined with the historical record that Qin Shi Huang had 23 sons and 10 daughters, and the 18th son Hu Hai killed them all after succeeding to the throne, some experts boldly speculated that these people may be some of the princesses, and the one with the highest burial specifications is likely to be Qin Shi Huang's eldest son Gongzi Fusu.
With the support of the Atletico Madrid Historical and Cultural Fund, Qin Provincial Cultural Relics experts applied 3D modeling technology to successfully restore the appearance and figure of "Gongzi Fusu". The image of Fusu, the protagonist of the remastered version of the bee game "Qin Yan", was redone based on the results of expert research.
Thanks to the slight beautification techniques used during the restoration, the new image was successfully accepted and loved by players and enthusiasts, and Bee Games simply took advantage of the victory and invited a number of artists to participate in the production of the "Childe Fusu" statue and portrait, which are now displayed in the five-story building opposite.
"No way," Lin Chen shook his head slightly, "There are lessons from LV and Bulgari's past, and the national exhibition is a bit of a cup bow and snake shadow, and he doesn't dare to hold the 'Qin Yan Character Exhibition' openly, so Bee You has to play such a curve to save the country." ”
"Hey!" Zhao Xilin raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid that it will be embarrassing in the future." There are 17 burial tombs, but only 8 have been excavated by archaeology, and Qin Shi Huang has more than 30 children, how can he conclude that this is 'Gongzi Fusu'?"
"Say," he added, "Fusu was sent by Qin Shi Huang to oversee the construction of the Great Wall in northern Shaanxi, and he probably died there." Isn't there a sword mound in the eight burial tombs? I think it is more likely to be the clothed mound of Fusu, because he died in northern Shaanxi and it was inconvenient to carry it for a long time, so he only brought a sword and clothes back to hand it over. ”
Lin Chen nodded, and said sarcastically: "I'm smarter than the experts." ”
Facing the other party's glaring gaze, he Shi Shiran said: "When the bronze sword is cast, it is usually engraved with patterns and words on the sword, if it is really the sword of Fusu, the experts should have recognized it a long time ago." ”
"This is not necessarily," Zhao Xilin proudly raised his mobile phone, "There is a sentence in the biography of Qun Shuzhi - 'Lizi Hu Hai is the crown prince, and the book gives Fusu the sword to self-determination, and the general Tian gives death', this sword is likely to be the Shang Fang sword that forced Fusu to commit suicide." ”
The Minutes of the Qunshu is a reference book written by Wei Zheng, Chu Suiliang and other famous ministers of the Tang Dynasty for Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, which includes many precious ancient books. This set of books was lost due to the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and later found a version copied by the Tang envoy in Japan, so it was introduced into China.
However, in the book of this series, there is also a "Lizi Hu Hai as the crown prince, given to Fusu, and Meng Tian died", which is inconsistent, so it is still impossible to identify the identity of the sword and its owner.
