Chapter 1053: The Pain of Weeping Blood

"It's okay, let's keep looking, I'm not a person who hasn't seen the world, I was here and knew that I would encounter such a thing, I haven't seen a wanderer for many years, even if he has become someone else's child, as long as he is doing well, it is at least a comfort. Zhang Tianyuan can only comfort himself like this now, since he can't get these things at the moment, it doesn't hurt to take a look at them first, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will return to China.

"Don't you force yourself?" Liu Mengxun was still a little worried.

"I don't care, it's just that these treasures are sent to a fence, exiled in a foreign land, and may not be able to return to China for the rest of their lives, which is a kind of sadness. Zhang Tianyuan sighed, if the antiques could speak, he believed that a large part of them still wanted to return to their homeland.

The British Museum's collection of Chinese artefacts includes ancient stone tools, Shang and Zhou bronzes, Wei and Jin stone Buddhist scriptures, Tang and Song dynasty paintings and calligraphy, Ming and Qing dynasty ceramics, and 45 volumes of the Yongle Canon.

This time, there will also be "Yongle Ceremony" at the auction, but I don't know if it's true, I must get it when the time comes, and we must not let the hard work of this predecessor be ruined by foreign devils.

Among the Chinese bronze relics on display, Zhang Tianyuan also saw a Shang Dynasty double sheep conjoined statue, the double sheep are connected on their backs, and a cylindrical vessel is carried on their backs, the horns of the sheep are curved, the eyes and mouth are shaped vividly, and the limbs and legs of the sheep firmly support the body of the sheep and the utensils, the patina is light and elegant, the structure is symmetrical, the ornaments are complex and harmonious, the texture is thick and simple, and the overall shape is beautiful. It attracted many Chinese and foreign audiences to stop and watch.

"Alas, such a good national treasure has never been seen in our own country. It's really sad and lamentable!" Seeing this treasure, an old man on the side sighed, and tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.

"Yes, I now understand why those Greeks were so excited. Zhang Tianyuan and the old man glanced at each other, both speechless and lamenting.

The two of them didn't speak, but their eyes could represent a qiē.

In the Chinese porcelain exhibition hall, the fine porcelain treasures of the past dynasties are even more dizzying.

In particular, I want to talk about a pair of Yuan Dynasty "Zhizheng blue and white dragon pattern vases". There is an exact date on the bottleneck, and there are nine layers of patterns on the upper and lower parts of the bottle, which almost include all the elements of Yuan blue and white painting except for the figures: dragon pattern, cloud pattern, sea water, banana leaves, flat chrysanthemum, miscellaneous treasures, etc.

There have been comments by domestic collection experts. Since the advent of this pair of blue and white dragon pattern vases, all the ornaments, similar paintings of the Yuan blue and white flowers, collectively referred to as the "to the positive type", in the 80s of the last century, the international auction market Yuan blue and white high prices are popular. Fame. So much so that they are very lucky people to be able to see this pair of Yuan blue and white vases with their own eyes.

However, in Zhang Tianyuan's view today, can this be regarded as lucky? Seeing the treasures of his own country on the land of other countries, but not being able to take them back to China, is this really a kind of luck?

Or maybe it's just an ordeal.

Walking and walking, Tang Sancai's "Horse", Song Cizhou Kiln's "Circus Pillow", Yuan's "Mackerel Algae Pattern Plate", Ming Xuande cloisonne, Qingde white porcelain, etc., all come into view.

In a museum in a foreign country, looking at the national treasures of your own country, you can't help but feel a wave of sadness in your heart, and a burst of trauma is transmitted in your nerves.

"Why don't you see the Female Historian?" Zhang Tianyuan asked Lancelot.

Before you go. Li Mingguang once told Zhang Tianyuan if he went to the British Museum. Be sure to check out China's national treasure, The Female Historian, a Tang Dynasty facsimile of Gu Kaizhi's work in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is the earliest surviving Chinese silk painting, one of the masterpieces of the earliest professional painters in China, it is known as the opening work of Chinese art history, the milestone of great significance, and is also recognized by the world art world as China's super national treasure.

Traditional Chinese art critics often refer to Gu Kaizhi's paintings as "spring silkworms spinning silk", and his works have delicate lines and soft and vivid pictures, which are rarely surpassed by later generations.

"The Female Historian" has always been a treasure collected by the court of the past dynasties, and now there are only two copies in the world, one is the copy of the Song Dynasty, the brushwork and color are not superior, hidden in the Imperial Palace Museum, and the other is the copy of the Tang Dynasty in the British Museum.

This "Female History Atlas" was originally stored in the Qing Palace, which was the desk love of Emperor Qianlong, and was later hidden in the Old Summer Palace. In 1860, the British and French invaded the imperial capital, and it was stolen from the Old Summer Palace by British Captain Ji Yong.

Li Mingguang's words rang in his mind, although Zhang Tianyuan said that he was not happy to come here, but he still wanted to find the location of this treasure, after leaving the Chinese porcelain exhibition hall, he began to look for this thing, but he could not find it, so he could only ask Lancelot, this authentic Londoner would probably know the reason.

"It's such a boss, this thing is regarded as a 'treasure of the town' by the British Museum, and it has been hidden in the Stein Chamber for many years, and it is not on display at all. However, in February 2008, the British Museum occasionally moved the book out of the secret room for a very brief exhibition. At that time, there were very few people who were well-informed and could go to witness it in time. Lancelot replied.

"I have heard of this, and it is said that a scholar in Jinling had the privilege of seeing this facsimile in the secret room of the British Museum, and there was only a record of two Japanese people copying this facsimile on the register in the 20s of the last century. Liu Mengxun also nodded.

"That means we want to see our national treasures, but we have to be allowed by others? I can't even see it?" Zhang Tianyuan felt that his temper was coming up again, and he just grabbed something, and he didn't even let him see it, what is the difference between robbing a child and not letting his biological parents take a look, it's a bastard.

"Alas, boss, in fact, in the British Museum, not only do you not have the opportunity to visit the 'Nu Shi Tu', a Chinese national treasure? You must know that of the 23,000 Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum, only 2,000 are on display for a long time, which is less than 1/10 of the total collection, and more than 9/10 of the Chinese cultural relics in the collection are still stored in 10 closed storage rooms, which can only be viewed unless special permission is obtained! However, boss, I have heard that the British Museum seems to have been robbed, and the whereabouts of the Nu Shi Tu are now unknown. Lancelot said in a low voice. It seems that he is afraid that his words will be listened to by others.

"I hope it's not ruined, let's go, let's go and look at something else. "Zhang Tianyuan is not only appreciating these things. He has also been to so many places, he has been to so many antique shops, but there has never been a place with so many treasures!

Each one is real, each one is so exquisite, although not all of them are priceless, but they are all good things left over from history. And where these things come from. There are robbers who steal from China, there are soldiers who steal from China, and there are smugglers who sell them. No matter which way it is, it is not a normal channel, which makes Zhang Tianyuan always feel a faint pain in his heart.

The hypocritical explorer Stein went to Dunhuang to deceive a Taoist priest surnamed Wang out of ancient Chinese cultural relics. That's painstaking.

He made up a set of stories for Wang Taoist to learn scriptures from Tang monks in the west, and he came from India today to find the Tang monk's relics. The ignorant Taoist Wang believed it, and under the repeated persuasion of Master Jiang, he secretly took out a bundle of manuscripts that night and handed them to Jiang, who in turn handed them to Stein, who asked Jiang to check the contents of the manuscripts overnight.

This Master Jiang is a dog leg invited by Stein, and there was no shortage of such people in China back then, who did not hesitate to sell their own things as garbage in order to make a little money from foreign devils.

Actually, such people. There are still a lot of them today.

Chiang happily told Sù Stein at dawn the next day that he had found an inscription on a manuscript stating that the scripture had been obtained from India and translated into Chinese by Xuanzang. They immediately reported the matter to the king. The skeptical Taoist priest had no choice but to agree to let them see all the collections in the cave.

So Stein, with the help of Master Jiang, spent seven days inspecting the manuscripts and silk painting fabrics held out by Daoist Wang one by one in the corridor outside the Tibetan Scripture Cave. He selected the scrolls and paintings he thought were good, and bought them for 40 horseshoe silver, the equivalent of 500 rupees, which is the source of the famous Stein Huang documents that are now in London.

Five hundred rupees, that's only about fifty fucking RMB, where is this explorer, it's clearly a fraudster and a robber!

Moreover, this Wang Taoist priest also sold things to Stein more than once, and later he sold a large number of good things in Mogao Grottoes to this sanctimonious so-called civilized person, but he forged the title of this hypocrite Western great university.

In the museum, there are many Chinese who have the same thoughts as Zhang Tianyuan, and they also feel unhappy in their hearts.

Some people are sad, some are emotional, and some are angry.

Of course, there are some people who find this nothing bad. This kind of person has their own arguments, Zhang Tianyuan is too lazy to evaluate anything, he just feels disgusting.

But what he is even more disgusting is the useless things of the late Qing Dynasty, if the country is strong enough, these things will not be snatched away by others, he really scolded these evil things in his heart for the eighteen generations of ancestors.

"Ancestor, we're useless, and we can't invite these things back to our hometown until now, we're waste......

Suddenly, there was a sad cry in the museum, Zhang Tianyuan turned his head to look, but saw an old man kneeling and crying in a low voice, it was the old man who had looked at him before.

Beside him, two young men whispered to him in awkwardness, telling him not to cry.

"This kind of person is really not plain, why come out to travel, shame the Chinese!"

"Yes, yes, let people look at jokes. ”

"Laugh at your paralysis!" Zhang Tianyuan didn't speak yet, Snake Lin was on fire first, as a soldier, his temper was really much more explosive than Zhang Tianyuan, after listening to Zhang Tianyuan's words, he was also holding a breath of anger in his stomach, and now when he heard this, he couldn't help it, and scolded loudly: "These foreign devils have robbed us of our things, and they will not be ashamed to show off their power here?

"Okay, Snake Team, don't talk about it, people with a conscience have a conscience if you don't say it, and it's useless for you to talk about people without shame. Although we think that these things that should belong to China can be placed in Chinese museums for people to visit, but what the robber stook, will he return it to you?" Zhang Tianyuan stepped forward and patted Serin's shoulder, sighed.

"Alas. Although Serpentine was angry, he didn't know what to do at the moment, but when he thought of Zhang Tianyuan's plan, he felt a little relieved in his heart, originally Zhang Tianyuan was going to take those fakes to auction, he didn't say it, he still felt inappropriate in his heart, but now, he didn't think so.

If you see people and talk about people, you can't be polite to robbers......!
