PS: It's Monday again, and it's the end of the month, so I'm asking for recommended tickets and monthly pass support.

What the Holy Grail is, or what the Holy Grail means, of course Mr. John knows in his heart. Although he also wondered if the cup was the legendary Holy Grail, as long as there was a possibility, it was worth buying and studying.

Thinking of this, Mr. John opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Wang, you can see clearly, this is a treasure of your country......"

"What a treasure, it's a shame." Wang Guan said angrily: "It's all said, don't insult me with such a thing." ”

Seeing Wang Guan's resolute attitude, Mr. John also knew that he was not trying to capture him, but really looked down on this beast head. If it had been before, Mr. John might have to work hard to persuade him with an incorruptible tongue. But after hearing that the cup might be the legendary Holy Grail, Mr. John was not calm, and after a few words of casual persuasion, he hurriedly took his leave.

"King."

As soon as Mr. John left, Mr. Anderson smiled and said, "The Holy Grail you just talked about......"

"What a holy grail, it must be Mr. Anderson, you heard it."

At this time, Wang Guan naturally wouldn't admit it, but asked, "By the way, we've been waiting for two days, are your things ready?" If not, we'll just go back and wait. ”

"King, there is no hurry."

Mr. Anderson explained: "You know, what you ask for is in the hands of different people, and we need time to reconcile. ”

"It's not a request, it's an exchange." Wang Guan reminded him, and then frowned: "Then how long will you have to wait, give an accurate number." ”

"It's coming, it's coming."

Mr. Anderson smiled: "You see if this is good, there are some things in Australia, you can go and appreciate them tomorrow, and you don't need to wait for other things to come and watch them together." ”

"It's long overdue." Wang Guan nodded. After finalizing this matter, he ignored Mr. Anderson's retention, and directly chose to leave and report the situation to Zhou Lao and others.

Hearing that they would be able to see things tomorrow, Zhou Lao and the others were naturally gearing up.

In the blink of an eye, the day passed, and the next morning, Mr. Anderson arrived as promised, and drove away with everyone. Soon after, they came to a palatial manor.

After entering the manor. There was no need for anyone to greet them, so Mr. Anderson invited them to go deep into it, all the way to the corner of the manor, where there was a tight space. Mr. Anderson entered the code and took the key to unlock the lock, and after a few minutes of busy work, he opened the vault.

Immediately, at the suggestion of Mr. Anderson, everyone was not polite and walked directly into the secret vault. before entering the middle. Everyone felt a slight chill rushing in. Obviously, the temperature here is a little different from the temperature outside, which is an artificial temperature difference to protect the collection in the vault.

After all, it is well known. Some things are very sensitive to temperature, whether cold or hot, and can cause damage, only if the temperature is constant. to be able to last for a long time. Needless to say, there is such a room temperature adjustment function in this secret vault.

on this. It was not strange that they did not take this little thing to heart, but looked at Mr. Anderson with burning eyes, and silently urged him to take it out quickly. There is no way, after all, in the secret vault, there is also a row of safes, and things are locked in the safe, and everyone can't take them out if they want to.

However, it is this kind of layer of protection that also makes Wang Guan and others look forward to it even more.

At the same time, Mr. Anderson complied and opened a safe, only to see that the scrolls were stored inside. Not surprisingly, it should be oriental calligraphy and painting.

"Everyone, please take care of yourself."

At the right time, Mr. Anderson stepped aside and smiled.

Zhou Lao and the others naturally did not be polite, and rushed over one after another, but they did not coax, but cooperated with the tacit understanding, you roll and I take out the things one by one, and then gather in the table next to them. At this time, they did not rush to appreciate, but first arranged large and small magnifying glasses in the corner of the table to adjust their mentality.

After a while, Zhou Lao calmed down, and then carefully opened the scroll in his hand, and then slowly spread it on the table. All of a sudden, everyone came closer to see that this painting was actually a wild picture.

The so-called wild fun, naturally refers to the wild, there is an old fisherman fishing by the lake, there are fish and shrimp in the water under the hook of the line of the hook, in addition to a lotus next to a lotus, there is a wild duck floating, among the aquatic plants below, there are also crabs raising pincers to run rampant. The fresh movement of the lake in the water, and the stillness of the old fisherman, are perfect and harmonious, forming a wonderful wild picture.

At first glance, Wang Guan also felt a bit pleasing to the eye. And, don't underestimate this wild picture. Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this is just an ordinary picture, but the meaning is profound, and I am afraid that only connoisseurs can understand it.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, fish, shrimp and crab are just a delicacy on their own table, but in the long historical process, the Chinese have injected rich and colorful cultural connotations into fish, shrimp and crabs, forming a fish, shrimp and crab culture with national characteristics, which has become an indispensable part of traditional auspicious culture.

Needless to say, because of the same sound as Yu, everyone must eat fish during the New Year's festival to show that there is more than enough every year. In addition, due to the strong fecundity of fish, they often move in groups. Therefore, the ancients hoped to reproduce in large numbers like fish, so the fish pattern on ancient pottery can be regarded as a symbol of fertility and reproduction.

Of course, there is also the legend of the carp jumping over the dragon gate, jumping over it will turn into a dragon, and if you can't jump over, it will still be a fish.

In this case, the carp jumping over the dragon gate has naturally become one of the most widely used patterns in China since ancient times, and is often used as a metaphor for changing status and situation through struggle. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the old fisherman fishing in the picture, because the fish is a carp, and the carp has the same sound, so this is actually the meaning of the fisherman's profit.

As for the crab, it is a very domineering creature, it is said that there were Japanese people who asked Qi Baishi for painting, Qi Baishi directly painted a big crab, and then the title depends on how long you are rampant, but it makes the Japanese disgraced.

However, in traditional Chinese culture, crabs are not sarcastic voices, but are full of auspicious meanings. The carapace of the crab is hard and has two claws, which are very sharp. In the ancient imperial examinations, there has always been an auspicious diagram of the second class, and the first and first means to ascend to the first class.

In fact, the duck next to the lotus also has a similar meaning, the duck from the sound of the first, if a duck is floating in the water with a reed, it is the meaning of the first place (champion). In ancient times, scholars learned and excelled, and everyone hoped that one day the title of the gold list would be titled, so the meaning of the duck was also very meaningful.

All in all, the cultural connotation of the wild fun map is very profound, if you don't understand the traditional Chinese culture, it is estimated that you will see the wonderful wild fun map as a game map, then it is ridiculous and generous.

Of course, the deep meaning in these paintings naturally cannot be concealed from a group of old-timers. Zhou Lao and others also admired this painting very much, and naturally looked at it carefully, revealing a bit of approval.

"It's a pity, it's just an anonymous work."

After a while, an expert shook his head and sighed: "There is no money and a seal, judging from the printing and paper, it should be something in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, which has a certain value, but the value is not high." ”

This can also be understood, no matter how meaningful the picture is, but the picture itself is not the work of a famous artist, and the painting skills and style are not very superb, which naturally affects its own value. That is, the painting can be ruled out.

Sure enough, it's a real mix of these things. Wang Guan secretly thought about it, if it was just an ordinary anonymous work, it would be okay, for fear that it would be a fake. The heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable, which is indeed a famous precept through the ages.

While Wang Guan was muttering in his heart, Zhou Lao also picked up another scroll and spread it out.

"Nine Song Picture Scroll!"

At first glance, Zhou Lao and the others were pleasantly surprised.

"What?"

Wang Guan woke up in shock and hurriedly looked. Of course, he knows very well what the nine songs are, if he doesn't even know Qu Yuan's nine songs, then the middle school language must be read in vain.

Although it is often said that Han Fu Tang poems and Song Ci Yuan Qu, before Han Fu, there was a literary genre that everyone could never ignore. This literary genre is naturally Chu Ci, or Sao style.

This commotion is naturally a detached commotion. Lisao is the representative work of Chu Ci, but the direct source of Chu Ci should be the Chu folk songs represented by the Nine Songs. According to the research of later generations, the Nine Songs were originally witch songs during the sacrifice, and they were later retained by Qu Yuan's processing, and other works such as Lisao were developed on this basis.

In any case, the nine songs refer to the content of the ten chapters of Donghuang Taiyi, Yunzhongjun, Xiangjun, Xiangjun, Da Si Ming, Shao Si Ming, Dong Jun, Hebo, Mountain Ghost, and National Martyrdom. Then the Nine Songs Picture Scroll is easier to understand, but it is based on the Nine Songs, plus Qu Yuan's portrait, forming eleven volumes of pictures.

Next to each paragraph of text, with the corresponding pictures, the combination of words and paintings, naturally has the beauty of ancient rhyme.

Of course, the impression given by the picture fully shows that the painter's brushwork skills are profound. Unfolding the picture scroll, the first thing that catches your eye is the statue of Qu Yuan standing with his hair tied up in a bun and wearing a wide-sleeved long suit. His solemn and resolute, lonely and proud, sentimental and persistent charm leaps on the paper, which is admirable and moving.

Qu Yuan's origin, needless to say, was originally a nobleman of the Chu State, but because the King of Chu listened to the greedy rumors and exiled him, he finally made him grief and anger and threw himself into the Miluo River and died.

I also want to say a digression, there are countless patriots who died unjustly in ancient times, but everyone only remembers one Qu Yuan. The reason for this is nothing more than Qu Yuan's extremely high literary accomplishment, and many magnificent articles have been handed down. Later generations of literati read his articles, and naturally had a strong resonance.

It is often said that singing is a song, perhaps Qu Yuan is not the first person to sing a song, but he is indeed a representative of it, and when everyone reads his articles, it is easy to be moved and remembered...... (To be continued......)
