Chapter 1130: Female Shi Zhentu
"You accumulate virtue and do good, let me pay?" Wen Jia took a sip of tea, "It's okay, but don't keep thinking about your matter, listen to me, let it be!" ”
Tang Yi was stunned, "Actually, I don't have any other way." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Wen Jia nodded, groaned, and said to Huo Jun again, "I already said just now, this is the happiness of your life, don't you understand?" ”
Huo Jun's face was happy, "Master Wen, you are also a knife mouth and a tofu heart." ”
Wen Jia pointed at Tang Yi, "You have to thank him, he did have an accident this time, and yours is a good thing." However, you and Shen Anting may still have twists and turns, you only need to remember one sentence: perseverance. ”
Tang Yi said to Huo Jun, "It's right to listen to Master Wen. "But the heart says, tofu heart? You're so interesting, boy! A terrifying killing god on the rivers and lakes, do you say he has a tofu heart?
Huo Jun thanked him again and again, thinking that it would be boring to withdraw money now, so find a chance to make up for it.
After eating, Wen Jia asked Huo Jun what else was interesting in London by the way. First, he really wanted to relax, but when he saw that Tang Yi's state had improved, he struck while the iron was hot, wanting to make Tang Yi more relaxed.
"Did you go to the British Museum? I have to go to this! Huo Jun said, "It just so happens that I'm free today, let's go shopping in the afternoon!" ”
The British Museum, the largest museum in the United Kingdom, is also one of the three largest museums in the world, along with the Louvre in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Of course, different people have different views on the "Big Three". However, the British Museum is indeed rich in collections, counting the antiques and cultural relics that have flowed out of China alone, there are more than 20,000 pieces.
This is in line with Tang Yi's wishes, indeed, after arriving in London, I agreed before I went to see it.
Huo Jun came by car, and after eating, he directly pulled Tang Yi and Wen Jia to park the car near Oxford Street, and then came to Great Russell Square, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the British Museum.
The main entrance is a tall colonnade lined with Romanesque columns. This British Museum is free, if you don't rent a docent, then you don't need to spend money, enter from the main entrance, and soon you will arrive at the large atrium, which is surrounded by more than 100 exhibition halls!
"What to see first?" Huo Jun acted as a temporary tour guide.
"Didn't you say there were mummies in the British Museum? Check this out first! Wen Jia said.
Indeed, the Ancient Egyptian Pavilion of the British Museum is the most popular, but it is not on the ground floor, but upstairs, there are two exhibition halls.
After entering the exhibition hall, Wen Jia went straight to the glass cabinet where the mummy was placed, and looked very carefully. Although nothing could be seen through the glass case, the mummy inside was tightly wrapped in strips of cloth, and nothing was revealed, only the human figure could be seen.
"This, it sounds quite rare, but that's all it is when I see it." Huo Jun smiled and said to Tang Yi, "I didn't expect Master Wen to look at it very carefully. ”
Some things are indeed like this, and I yearn for them when I hear them, but I don't feel so excited when I see them.
There are so many things in the British Museum. Britain once claimed to be the empire on which the sun never sets, and when it was at its strongest, its territory expanded more than 100 times, and the cultural relics obtained from various colonies can be imagined. It is said that there are more than 7 million cultural relics, and if you really look closely, you can't see them all in three days and three nights.
At the entrance of this Egyptian Pavilion, there is also a Rosetta Stone, a genuine piece. On this stele, there are three fonts: Greek, ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, and ancient Egyptian script, and the content is the edict of the Ptolemaic Dynasty.
Interestingly, in the Egyptian Museum, it is a replica. I heard that every time the docent of the Egyptian Museum talks about this stele, he will excitedly say that it is the top national treasure of Egypt, "the key to unlock the ancient civilization of Egypt", but in the end he will also say very sadly: But this is a replica, the real thing is in the British Museum.
Tang Yi looked at the Rosetta Stone, although he couldn't read the words, the atmosphere of ancient civilization was still shocking.
"The focus is still on looking at Huaxia's things." Out of the Egypt Pavilion, Tang Yi proposed. This Wen Jia didn't have any opinions, so Huo Jun led them to the Huaxia Exhibition Hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, the first thing that caught Tang Yi's eyes was dozens of square meters of Dunhuang murals!
When I looked up, the marks of the cut were still there.
Tang Yi looked at the mural and sighed slightly, "It is said that more than 10,000 of the more than 40,000 scriptures in the Dunhuang Cave are in the British Museum. "Seeing the cultural relics of your own country appear in foreign museums, especially such treasures, this kind of feeling may only be truly experienced by being there.
Not only the cave scriptures, but also the Buddhist scriptures of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the ancient paintings of the Tang and Song dynasties, can be seen in the British Museum. Tang Yi also saw the "Yongle Canon", although there are only dozens of volumes, but the "Yongle Canon" is suspected to exist in Yongling in addition to the original, in fact, there are very few copies in existence.
The Yongle Canon has a total of 22,937 volumes, of which 60 volumes are the table of contents alone. The original has not been handed down, so it is suspected that it may exist in Yongling. Most of the copies have been lost, and according to research, there are less than 800 volumes in the world, and most of them are not in China.
There are many things in the Huaxia exhibition hall that you can't see in the Huaxia museum. For example, the double sheep of the Shang Dynasty, such as the pair of famous Zhizheng Yuan blue and white dragon pattern vases. Others, such as Tang Sancai, Song Dynasty famous kilns, Ming and Qing official kilns, are also treasures.
After Tang Yi looked around, he felt a sour feeling in his heart. I looked for it again, and suddenly asked Huo Jundao, "By the way, where is the "Female History Atlas"?" ”
"The Female History of Zhentu", the original author Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is long gone. Tang Yi is talking about the Tang Dynasty facsimile, silk. This painting has a lot of great significance, and the preciousness is self-evident. The content of "The Female History of Zhentu" is mainly the deeds of some female models, such as Feng Yuan in the Han Dynasty to protect the Han Yuan Emperor. Basically, they are all images of court women, most of them are elegant and dignified, plus Gu Kaizhi's so-called painting lines such as "spring silkworm spinning", the cultural relics value and artistic value are very high.
Originally, there were a total of 12 paragraphs in "The Female History of Zhentu", and now only nine paragraphs are left, which are stored in the Great British Museum.
This "Female Historian" was taken away after the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace. Tang Yi heard that because the British side did not have a comprehensive knowledge of ancient silk paintings and did not keep them well, they were not only truncated, but also slag was dropped.
Tang Yi naturally knew about such a baby, but he didn't find it after looking around, so he asked Huo Jun.
"Mr. Tang, do you know, when I first came to the British Museum, I also looked for this painting everywhere, but I didn't find it. Later, I inquired, and it turned out that the British Museum also regarded it as a treasure of the town hall and hid it in the secret room! Not to the public! Huo Jun explained.
Tang Yi thought for a while, "No, I remember watching the news once, it seems to have been exhibited!" Poor custody was also pointed out. ”
