Chapter 144, Fontainebleau Palace
This time the pavilion is different, the magnificent Asian Pavilion, the hall with a height of four or five meters, the golden floor, the walls, the stone lions carved on both sides of the gate, all of this makes you feel like you have returned to the Tang Dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
No, compared to the Tang Dynasty, it should be more glorious here, with a few red stone pillars holding up the roof high, and many cabinets carved out of the golden walls, which are divided into three layers, upper, middle and lower, and there are many valuable cultural relics on the floor, that is, the treasures on display.
There are not 1,000 treasures here, but 800, in short, there are more than 1,000 square meters of exhibition halls, and there will be a treasure on display in almost every two square meters of space.
In the Asia Pavilion, Xi Qing saw a lot of people with Asian physique and body shape. Most of the people who come here to visit are Asians, no more than two meters high, and no less than one meter five or six low, it seems that Xi Qing is much more pleasing to the eye.
Of course, there are also a small number of Westerners here, who are probably not native to France, and come here just for tourism and fun, and their hearts are not on those cultural relics at all.
In this venue, there are also many translated tour guides, who are basically proficient in multiple Chinese, and of course, the cost of translation is also very high.
The cost of a tour guide is about 100 euros, equivalent to 700 yuan, and Director Jote specially arranged for a beautiful woman who understands Chinese, French, and Chinese English to explain to Xi Qing.
In this Asian Pavilion, basically the most appeared porcelain, pottery, and then there are several calligraphy and painting works, not only Chinese porcelain, India, and South Korea's Japanese porcelain is also exhibited here, especially the color and glaze of the Japanese porcelain, and even it seems, once called Xi Qing admired, the small island country has such a huge achievement in the porcelain attainment.
In fact, it is true, if you don't come out, you will never know what other countries are good at, and resting on your laurels often leads to backwardness.
In addition to porcelain and calligraphy and paintings, ivory carvings from India and other South Asian countries, some fragrant wood miscellaneous pieces, jade, and Buddhist shrine paintings are also many of the displays in the Asian Pavilion, becoming a beautiful scenery.
"Mr. Xi Qing, now we have to receive more than 800 tourists from foreign countries every day in the Asian Pavilion you are in, which is average, and we have to receive about 300 Chinese tourists every day."
The tour guide beauty introduced, and Xi Qing listened carefully.
"So what is the most visited by Chinese tourists on your side, can I take a look?" Xi Qing asked.
Because Xi Qing is already a big celebrity, the tour guide beauty said enthusiastically: "Oh, of course you can." The most seen by our Chinese tourists here is probably the Empress Cixi's belongings over there. ”
"Cixi was one of your empresses of the Qing Dynasty in China, and later took charge of the imperial court as the empress dowager, and ruled the Qing Dynasty for nearly a hundred years. We have a lot of Empress Cixi's belongings in this museum. When Chinese tourists come here, they pay the most attention to the belongings of Empress Cixi and Empress Dowager. ”
Speaking of Cixi, she is really a figure that has to be mentioned in Chinese history, and it is inevitable to talk about her, and it is even more related to antique collection.
Because Cixi personally likes rare treasures, and also likes to collect treasures, during her reign, every time the minister offers treasures, she has to keep them, and even send people to make treasures for her every month. Cixi's favorite thing is jade, and after her death, many jade treasures were confiscated into the treasury.
But of course, more of Cixi's treasures were still presented by her to foreign countries.
At that time, it coincided with the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the invasion of China by the British and French Coalition forces, and many treasures naturally flowed into France and Britain.
Xi Qing was particularly interested in taking a look at these treasures, especially if he had the ability, Xi Qing thought about whether he could redeem these treasures back to China.
In a sense, Cixi's entourage abroad is a slap in the face to China, and I believe that no one feels good when domestic tourists visit these exhibits.
Xi Qing followed the tour guide and slowly approached the exhibition area of Cixi's belongings.
Either there were a lot of people, or they were in a hurry, Xi Qing inadvertently bumped into a person.
Originally, this collision was not a big problem, but the person who was hit by Xi Qing was a violent temper, and he scolded with a mouthful of dirty words: "Rub, who." ”
This is a standard state curse.
Xi Qing suddenly felt ashamed, because it was the Chinese who staged the scolding of this country, a local tycoon with a fat head and big ears.
Xi Qing really wanted to have a crack in the ground for a while, and then get in.
But this fat pig didn't realize that his quality was so poor, and continued to complain: "I said that you are not stupid, are you stupid, I rubbed you Madan, you won't say sorry if you bump into me, do you have any quality?" ”
Xi Qing never imagined that this man would gain an inch, and he also blamed the innocent person on the head of the stupid person, saying that the person has no quality.
Before Xi Qing could say anything, Tao Xiaoman rushed out on the side and angrily scolded the man: "We are Chinese, don't you embarrass the Chinese here, it's okay to scold people here, it's people like you who go abroad to lose face to the Chinese, you can't understand and appreciate this culture, please just slip through the park, okay?" ”
Tao Xiaoman is also very sad, her face is hot and red, in China, she is proud of being Chinese, but when she goes abroad, when she sees Chinese are like this, she is really sad.
And the Chinese man seemed to realize something, and after knowing that it was a companion, he left in a gloomy way.
Behind the Chinese man, in fact, there has always been a Japanese and stupid couple, and when they saw the man leaving, they walked in front of Xi Qing and Tao Xiaoman.
"Are you Chinese? Oh, we're stupid people, we're all East Asians, and it's fate to meet here. The man finished and the woman continued.
"Just now we all heard that man's insult to our country, we just want to say to you, please go back and tell your country, and do a good job of your own education, otherwise it will really make our country suffer this kind of grievance. The average quality of Asian countries is very low, and we are completely held back by you. ”
The woman spoke very strongly, and the man hurriedly stopped her: "I'm sorry, my wife doesn't speak in proportion, we are close neighbors, we are friendly, we need to develop and progress together, we only hope that you will make a little contribution to your country, we have no other meaning." ”
Xi Qing didn't speak, and Tao Xiaoman was also difficult to speak.
Seeing that the two Chinese had no face, they continued to face this pair of Japanese stupid people.
Director Jote spoke: "Hello couple, I believe Mr. Xi Qing heard what you just said, but we have to tell you that maybe Mr. Xi Qing will not do that." Because he will soon be naturalized as our French citizen, I am sure you will not doubt that there is any problem with the quality of our people, right? ”
"In addition, the statue of the Goddess of Victory in our sculpture hall was carved by Mr. Xi Qing, he is the greatest artist of this era, and it is really fateful for you to meet him."
Director Joate is very serious, the Ben couple is in Paris at the moment, and they really like the environment and life in Paris, and they think it is beautiful and the people are very friendly.
"Of course." I have always rated the people of Paris very highly. If it's to join your French nationality, ok, I don't think there's any problem. And, carved the statue of the Goddess of Victory, we must go and see, great artist. ”
The eyes of the Riben couple are different from Xi Qing, in foreign countries, it may be easier for Westerners to be respected, but at this point, Xi Qing is not happy, but there is a faint loss.
The stupid man left like this, although he was relieved by Director Jot, but Xi Qing's heart was indescribably painful.
This is the impression that Chinese people give to foreigners, no matter how high and good China's international status is in China, but in the face of such Chinese tourists, in the face of their behavior, you will first be ashamed of yourself.
"Director Jot, I think I'm a little unwell today, I might have to go back first, and I think I might have to come back another day if I have something to do with Cixi. I'm sorry. ”
Jot understands Xi Qing's current mood, but this is also good.
The phenomenon just now, Jote knew that he would definitely tell Xi Qing to recognize the situation again.
"Well, I don't think you're in the mood anymore, so why don't you make an appointment again. But you must not pay attention to the words of those two stupid couples. Okay, I'm not going to say anything, you go back and get some rest, I'll ask the druid to take you back to the hotel. ”
Xi Qing waved his hand again and again: "No need, I think we can go back by ourselves, no need to trouble you anymore, you have worked too hard for us in the past two days, I'm very sorry." ”
After Xi Qing finished speaking, he took Tao Xiaoman's hand and walked outside the hall.
The exit is not far, but Xi Qing feels that this road is very long, and even every step he takes, he feels that the soles of his feet are very heavy, and his feet can't even lift up.
That afternoon, Xi Qing and Tao Xiaoman didn't do anything, just stayed at the Frankfurt Hotel for an afternoon.
It's not that Xi Qing and Tao Xiaoman are vulnerable, it's just that this kind of thing happened at the moment, and it gave Xi Qing and Tao Xiaoman a hard slap.
The gap between China and the developed countries is too great, first of all, the quality of the people.
The average quality of Chinese is too low, and there are many, many people who scold indiscriminately like just now, and they have brought this uncivilized phenomenon out of China and polluted the world.
Xi Qing wants to stop it, but one person Xi Qing can be preachy, but when there are more and more people in this collective, and the organization is getting stronger and stronger, Xi Qing is powerless, so he can only sigh.
Xi Qing didn't think about escaping, but a small incident just now made Xi Qing realize that maybe he was thinking too simply.
Revitalizing a nation's culture and art may require much more than you can prepare.
Rather than being powerless to turn the tide, it is better to follow this trend and devote yourself to the cultural life of Western countries.
Xi Qing was tired, he didn't know how his thoughts could have become like this, he had only been in Paris for more than half a month.
In the past half a month, I have defeated my feelings for China for more than 20 years.
"Okay, Xi Qing, don't be sad, it's not our problem." Although Tao Xiaoman was uncomfortable, he still wanted to comfort Xi Qing.
Xi Qing just thought about it, he knew better than anyone that he would not leave China.
He loves China the most, and it is the only one.
"I know, Tao Xiaoman, I'm fine, but I think about what we should do to stop this phenomenon. In fact, I just had a whim, I have an idea, that is, in every country, there will be more Chinese tourists in the country to set up a civilized travel organization, this organization can help Chinese travel abroad, more education and training Chinese how to travel abroad. ”
Xi Qing did have such an idea just now, and the Chinese do not save themselves, they can only guide them in this way.
Tao Xiaoman listened to Xi Qing's thoughts and decisively agreed, but Tao Xiaoman also had his own questions and asked: "Xi Qing, you need the cooperation of the local government to help the civilization organization, if it is only a non-governmental organization, I estimate that the expenditure will be particularly huge." ”
"Of course, you can't just spend it yourself, even though I have some wealth now, but if I use all this wealth for this, then I really don't have to do anything else. I should have more important things to do. I mean, I'm not going to see Mayor Marihari tonight, I can talk to her about setting up such an organization in Paris. ”
Xi Qing decided, he was thinking about this matter just now. After listening to Xi Qing's words, Tao Xiaoman was even more supportive.
"Okay, then we will establish this organization in the few days we will stay in Paris, and then this organization will spread to other cities in France, then to England, Germany, and slowly expand to the map of the world. In this way, the Chinese people will no longer be as unqualified as that guy outside. ”
Xi Qing said: "Haha, your ambition is quite big, I just think it's time to experiment in France first." After the implementation of France, we will go to other countries to build up the world map piece by piece, and finally establish a general organization to help civilization within three years, so that every Chinese who come to foreign countries to find a sense of home and travel abroad in a civilized manner. ”
chatted happily, happily on the bed, unhappily, Tao Xiaoman was bullied by Xi Qing again.
However, the two found a way, found a way to improve the quality of the Chinese people, enhance the image of the Chinese people in foreign countries, establish such a civilized organization, with the help of the new mayor of Paris, I believe that it is not difficult, as a Chinese, if you can do this, it can be regarded as a merit.
On the bed, Tao Xiaoman was conquered again, these days, Xi Qing always himself several times a day, and he himself several times at a time, and Tao Xiaoman was bitten by Xi Qing from the previous pink to red.
Tao Xiaoman complained about Xi Qing, but when Xi Qing didn't bite, Tao Xiaoman couldn't stand it, and always felt uncomfortable not biting, which was also something Tao Xiaoman couldn't do, as if this kind of thing would have to live on this in the future. No way, Tao Xiaoman and Xi Qing are old husbands and wives. (To be continued.) )
