The Metropolitan Museum of Art is the largest art museum in the United States and a world-renowned museum. Located on 82nd Avenue on Fifth Avenue in New York, USA, it is opposite the famous American Museum of Natural History and the Hayden Planetarium in New York.
Covering an area of 130,000 square meters, it is one of the four major museums in the world, along with the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris, and the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.
The former records the past of mankind, while the latter depicts or plans and looks forward to the future of the world or humanity. Up to now, the museum currently has a total collection of 3 million exhibits. It is now one of the largest museums in the world.
The exhibition hall of the Metropolitan Museum of Art has three floors and is divided into 18 showrooms and exhibition rooms, including clothing, Greco-Roman art, primitive art, weapons and armor, European sculpture and decorative arts, American art, R. Lyman Collection, ancient Near Eastern art, medieval art, Far Eastern art, Islamic art, 19th-century European paintings and sculptures, prints, drawings and photographs, 20th century art, European paintings, musical instruments, and temporary exhibitions.
The costume showroom was developed from the original Costume Art Museum, and was merged into the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1946 as a separate department, with a collection of more than 10,000 pieces of clothing from all over the world in the 17th ~ 20th centuries, and a library and a design room for professional fashion design researchers.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a sprawling building on 80th to 84th Street on Fifth Avenue in New York, with five major exhibition halls, dedicated to European paintings, American paintings, primitive art, medieval paintings, and Egyptian antiques.
There are 248 showrooms in the museum, and the tens of thousands of exhibits on display throughout the year are just the tip of the iceberg of the museum's total inventory - the total number of exhibits at the Met has reached 3 million.
At the outbreak of World War III, the United States, which had the world's largest armed forces at that time, moved the Metropolitan Museum of Art to its current capital, Las Vegas, based on the principle that people are stupid and have more money.
It was precisely because of this relocation that all the artifacts in the Metropolitan Museum of Art survived the Third World War intact.
The only price paid for the museum was the money at the time of the relocation, and the addition of a prefix.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, also known as the Las Vegas Museum of Art.
After the end of World War III and the start of the culture wars, the Las Vegas art gallery became more and more prosperous.
Tickets. Sold out of stock!
One ticket costs $300 and is limited to 10,000 per day.
Even though tickets are so expensive, people who want to buy tickets often have to rely on reservations.
Moreover, it has to be booked to six months later at the earliest.
There is no other reason than the severance of cultural inheritance!
And the collections in the Metropolitan Museum of Art have a history of thousands of years.
The oldest artifacts date back to ancient Egypt 4,000 years ago.
Today, the Met is a lot more crowded.
In addition to the 10,000 tourists a day, there are more journalists and police.
One by one, the police put white gloves on their hands, and gently moved the artifacts under the command of the museum staff, investigating the clues that the police only knew.
The reporters were invited by the director of the museum to the open space of the museum to hold a press conference.
And the press conference was not held because the museum was going to do an event, but because the museum was threatened......
"Mr. Curator, can you tell us when this threat notice was sent to the museum?"
At the press conference, a blonde American reporter pointed to the piece of paper that was held in the hand of the curator at this time.
The curator nodded and spoke.
"Absolutely.
You can see this piece of paper in my hand, right? This piece of paper is a notice threatening the museum.
It reads in English: At 12 o'clock tonight, I will take away the Ming cultural relics in the museum and ride Tang Sancai.
And then there is a broom with a cartoon pattern drawn.
This piece of paper was sent in a very classical way.
At 7 o'clock this morning, our staff had just opened the doors of the museum and were ready to start their day.
An arrow suddenly came from a distance and was nailed directly to the door of the museum. This piece of paper is tied to the arrow. ”
Tang Sancai is a generic term for pottery excavated from Tang tombs, and later scholars regarded it as a term for ceramic classification.
Tang Sancai does not refer specifically to those three colors. On all kinds of terracotta figurines, pottery statues, and other pottery excavated in the Tang tombs, some of them are only single color, or two colors, and there are many utensils, but they have more complex and colorful colors.
Generally speaking, in addition to the white ground of the carcass, lead yellow, green, and green are the most common, and they are also the most artistic in the blending techniques of the three colors.
Tang Sancai has fewer utensils, and a large number of ponies, small domestic animals, and small poultry, all of which have rich artistic craftsmanship, especially the terracotta figurines of various figures, as well as the heads of supernatural images, which are of the most artistic value.
The three-color ware is showing a variety of utensils used in the actual life of the Tang Dynasty, and among these utensils, the form of social life at that time is very complete, so that we know that the shape and quantity of the Ming utensils and other artifacts of the burial are determined according to the official rank of the tomb and the size of the door.
For example, in the system of Tang Liming utensils, there are more than 90 things in the third grade, 60 things in the fifth grade and more than 60 things, and 40 things in the ninth grade and above. The puppet is a foot tall. Other music bands, the families of child servants, and the prestige costumes are also determined by their rank during their lifetimes.
At the end of the early Tang Dynasty, the wind of the thick burial of the beginning of the beginning, and then from the prosperous Tang Dynasty to the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the wind of the thick burial is very beneficial, and the street is full of bright instruments, the tomb of Chen, the song and dance music is played, the curtain is opened, and the plate bed is set up, and the passers-by are given flowers and human shapes and food and drink, which is like a sacrifice.
Because the Tang Dynasty paid attention to the use of three-color Ming ware as burial objects, therefore, since the construction of the Henan Bianluo Railway at the end of the Qing Dynasty, in the Tang tombs in the northern suburbs of Luoyang and other places, a large number of three-color vessels and figurines have been excavated. Regardless of its shape and color, Tang Sancai has a very high artistic intention, which has attracted the attention of people from Japan, Europe and the United States, and purchased at a high price, since then Tang Sancai has been included in one of the world's art parts.
And this horse-riding Tang Sancai is also an item dug up from the tomb of an official.
At this time, this Tang Sancai is definitely a priceless cultural relic.
"Mr. Curator, can you tell us, what was Tang Sancai's thing used for in the ancient Ming Dynasty?"
"Absolutely, it's a marriage item. ”
"Mr. Curator, what kind of measures would you take to deal with this?"
Another reporter asked.
"It's very simple, we have already discussed with the police department, tonight, there will be 400 policemen stationed in the museum, armed to protect Tang Sancai.
They have the power to shoot at will.
And we will not collect Tang Sancai, on the contrary, we will put Tang Sancai in the open space, waiting for the thief's general.
It's a game of cat and mouse, and hopefully the thief who dared to hand over a small note won't be scared to pee his pants tonight. ”
The curator laughed again.
………………………………
At this time, on the roof of a certain building in the distance, Marisa Kiriyu, who was abducted into this world by Yakumoji Temple, was almost black at this time.
"I'm not going to pee my pants, bastard. Damn, wait until the evening to steal one more thing from you, the official kiln of the Song Dynasty!"
With that, Marisa left the roof with a black face.
The official kiln originated from the Tang Dynasty and has two meanings, one refers to the tribute vessel and the other refers to the official factory. From the Tang Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, there were many tribute vessels in the official kilns, and there were few official factories, and the form adopted was "official prison and people burning", and the porcelain fired was "selected ten out of a thousand, and one out of a hundred" was paid tribute to the ruling class.
This kind of porcelain is called tribute porcelain and official kiln. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had a secretary in the porcelain-producing area, such as Chu Sui at the beginning of Tang Jinglong as the secretary of Xinping (Jingdezhen), and was edicted to supervise the burning of sacrificial vessels. In the Song Dynasty, there was a supervisor, such as during the Taiping Xingguo period, Zhao Renji was sent to supervise the kiln affairs in Yuezhou.
In the Yuan Dynasty, a bureau was set up to raise the supervision of Tao, and later changed to the head of the department. The porcelain of the "Jingde Year System" and "Shufu" that they fired were respectively called "Jingde Kiln", "Shufu Kiln" and so on.
The name of the official kiln has different connotations in the history of ancient Chinese ceramics. In a broad sense, it is a porcelain kiln that is different from the private kiln and is exclusively run by the government, and its products are monopolized by the court.
In the porcelain of the Song Dynasty, the official kiln is a special name, referring to the celadon fired by the court in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty in the capital Bianjing and Lin'an, so there are "old officials" and "new officials", the former is the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the latter is the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The official kiln was built in Bianliang during the Song Dynasty Daguan and Zhenghe, the celadon glaze is crystal clear, there are cracks or borne-shaped, and the pink and purple iron must be its characteristics.
The Song Dynasty moved south to set up an official kiln at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, also known as the official kiln or inner kiln of Xiu Neisi, and the official kiln under the suburban altar was set up under the suburban altar, with more vessel shapes and large products with a diameter of more than one foot.
From 1128 to the fall of the Qing Dynasty in the 20th century, Jingdezhen is the location of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties of the royal porcelain factory, China's official kiln system continued here for 632 years, and Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province also has the longest firing time, the largest scale, the most exquisite craftsmanship of the government-run porcelain factory.
As a result, there are a large number of ancient broken porcelain buried on the spot due to the prohibition of flowing into the people, and it has become the official kiln site and the "underground porcelain capital" with the most complete category, the most reliable age and the most abundant information in China.
The official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty is also called the official kiln of Bianjing. According to legend, during the period of Daguan and Zhenghe in the Northern Song Dynasty, a kiln was set up near Bianjing to burn porcelain for the court, that is, the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Back to stealing.
There is no doubt that the events that took place in the museum at this time were entirely caused by Marisa.
Although, Marisa also obeyed Yakumoji's instructions to steal things.
It's just that she wants to become famous as soon as possible.
She listened to Yakumoji's words and sent a notice in the form of a flying arrow when she stole it.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that people's hearts were so sinister.
After she sent a message with arrows, the other party actually took advantage of the characteristics of arrows to send messages, stirred up her own popularity, and compared her to a little ghost who would be scared to pee her pants.
But, is the guy from Gensokyo easy to mess with......
Shortly after stepping down to the roof, Marisa calls Yakumoji and asks Yakumoji to send her back to Gensokyo and return to this world after she has picked up something from home.
Yakumoji agreed.
Marisa's speed is also very fast, and she only went to Gensokyo in ten minutes and returned to this world.
When Marisa returns to the world from Gensokyo, she still has some dirt in her hands, which look like mushrooms that have just been plucked from the soil.
Maybe she went to the Enchanted Forest, which was full of all kinds of mushrooms, almost monster-level.
Some mushrooms can even walk, jump, and talk!!
In this era when everyone has a mobile phone, information is undoubtedly the fastest spreading.
At the press conference that had just been held this morning, by the afternoon, almost everyone in the United States knew about it.
On the Internet, this matter has been copied very hotly.
Of course, the main reason is that this museum is so famous.
It is a building that preserves the most complete historical artifacts outside of the City of God.
At this time, the museum has been closed, and there are countless idle people who have nothing to do and want to come to the play.
Inside the museum, there were many police, but the staff at the museum did not react.
"According to article 264 of the Criminal Law, the crime of theft refers to the theft of public or private property for the purpose of illegal possession, the theft of a relatively large amount or multiple thefts, burglary, theft with a murder weapon, or pickpocketing of public or private property.
The theft of public or private property by individuals is "relatively large", starting from 1,000 to 3,000 yuan. A sentence of up to three years imprisonment, short-term detention or controlled release is to be given, and/or a fine.
The theft of public and private property by individuals is "huge", starting from 30,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan. The sentence is to be between three and ten years imprisonment and a concurrent fine.
The theft of public or private property by individuals is "particularly huge", starting from 300,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan. A sentence of 10 or more years imprisonment or life imprisonment is to be given, and a concurrent fine or confiscation of property.
You say, this theft of Tang Sancai's historical relics is a priceless treasure, and the thief will be sentenced to a few years?"
Among the people who eat melons, a little brother with glasses asked his dead friend beside him.
He was a student at a law university, and his best friend was his tablemate.
It's just that his tablemate is a fat man, a fat man with brown hair of more than 200 pounds.
"Hmm...... I think there must be a life sentence, maybe the death penalty. After all, it is not uncommon for people to be sentenced to death for stealing cultural relics.
But don't you think it's supposed to be a robbery?
"The crime of robbery is the act of forcibly snatching public or private property from the owner or custodian of property on the spot by force, coercion or other means for the purpose of illegal possession.
I thought, as long as the thief didn't hurt the police, it wasn't a robbery, right?
An attempted robbery at best?!"
The glasses guy spoke again.
