After receiving a call from Kong Lao, Hong Tianbao ran directly to Kong Lao's old courtyard.

It's still the same here, and every time he walks into this place, Hong Tianbao can feel the vicissitudes of history. Although the area has not been demolished, it has been well preserved, but almost every year the government allocates money to repair it. There must be a reason for this, and I can't bear to let such a building be completely replaced by a luxurious urban building.

In Kong's house, Yan Lao and others were also present. They were discussing the matter of the two artifacts of Japan, but Hong Tianbao came back and called him over by the way.

"Tempo is here? Come on in! Hey! Bring something with you! When did it become so polite? Kong Lao said with a smile.

"Huh! It's just two jars of old wine, and there's not much left. Hong Tianbao responded, placing the spirit wine on the table.

Yan Lao and the others' eyes lit up, and they immediately realized that this wine was the spirit wine that Hong Tianbao had given them at the beginning. Xu Lao also said cheekily: "Lao Kong, ask someone to fry a few dishes, and everyone will have a few drinks later." ”

And Kong Lao also reacted, and when he saw that Yan Lao, Li Lao, and Director Ding also swallowed their saliva, they couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Okay! You have seen it, if I hide it and drink it alone, I won't poke you in the back? ”

After saying that, he immediately instructed the kitchen to fry a few home-cooked dishes and drink them later.

"Huh! It's still Tianbao's wine, grandma's! After drinking your wine, I drank Moutai a little weakly. When it comes to this, Tianbao, you can't help but pay a certain amount of responsibility! Give us a few more altars, or we won't be able to live this day." Li Lao said bitterly. Elder Yan and the others nodded approvingly, obviously very greedy for this kind of immortal wine.

Let's make small talk for a few words, and then we get to the point.

"Originally, we were worried that there would be too many treasures exchanged, and Xiao Ri would not be willing to do so when the time came, but you should go to Southeast Asia and bring back a batch, and the rest should not be a problem." Kong Lao said.

"Is there any coffee that needs to be exchanged?" Hong Tianbao asked.

Ding Lao took out a booklet and handed it to Hong Tianbao. There are tens of thousands of antiques recorded in the booklet, more than half of which are scriptures looted by the Japanese in Dunhuang that year. Among them, the most eye-catching are the remaining four national treasure-level treasures, which are also accompanied by pictures, and next to them is the introduction of the treasures.

"Originally, we planned" a total of more than 12,000 pieces, but you brought back more than 1,000 pieces, including two important national treasures. These are all leftovers, and four of them are to be exchanged for whatever they say. When Kong Lao said this, his tone revealed toughness, it seems that this time he is dead to the end, the other party will not return the remaining treasures, and the two Japanese artifacts will never let go.

"Don't worry! With the status of the eight-foot mirror and the eight-foot Qiongquyu in Japan, it is not a problem to exchange it for the national treasure of our country at all, but when the time comes, be careful of them and leave. Xiao Ri is a scoundrel who is famous, who knows what kind of turmoil will arise when the time comes, and it is not unheard of before. ”

Elder Yan said.

Xu Lao nodded, the events of three years ago are still vivid, and the entire Huaguo antique lovers at that time can be said to hate this little day. said to the outside world that he would return two pieces of porcelain from the Song Dynasty, who knew that these people were born with a lack of virtue and deliberately damaged the treasure, probably thinking in their hearts: What I can't get, you don't want to get!

"How dare they attack our national treasure again? I smashed two of their national treasures to pieces in front of the whole world. Speaking of this, Kong Lao also blew his beard.

Two of the last four national treasures are ancient paintings, and two are character scriptures: the "Bodhisattva Virgin Sutra" five stickers, "Wuzhun Normal Statue", Master Muxi's "Guanyin Ape and Crane Picture", and Wang Xizhi's "Funeral Sticker".

"Bodhisattva Virgin Sutra" five stickers, according to Hong Tianbao knows, this national treasure is known as the world's oldest scriptures, the origin is huge, and it may also be the only remaining Western Wei ink in the world, the value is immeasurable. ..., this volume is written by Tao Xuhu in the sixteenth year of the Great Unification of the Western Wei Dynasty, the word is as big as a bean, the calligraphy is a school of the North Tablet, the pen is free, there is no stone sword square clumsy state, its super several holy places, there is really an incredible wonder.

This treasure was exposed once, at the Dunhuang International Exhibition at the Kyoto National Museum, when the Russians exhibited the Dunhuang scriptures they plundered, but they were all archaeological and damaged. The Japanese side exhibited several pieces of scriptures that flowed into Japan during the Tang Dynasty, which are extremely exquisite, especially this Bodhisattva Sutra, which is completely a treasure of the press, exquisite paper, and steady brushwork...... It's a rare artifact.

"Portrait of a Quasi-Teacher" is relatively unfamiliar, Hong Tianbao looks at the above introduction: the portrait of the Zen master, known as the top phase in Japan. Many schools of Zen Buddhism in the Tang and Song dynasties declined in China, but they have been passed down in Japan, so most of the Zen artworks of the Song Dynasty are also preserved in Japan. The portraits of the Zen Gate are mainly given to the disciples by the master, and there is an inscription on them to prove the inheritance of the master. Wuzhun Normal is the national teacher of Song Lizong, the host of Jingshan Temple, the leader of Buddhism in the Southern Song Dynasty, this portrait pays special attention to the details of facial expressions, inadvertently conveys the wisdom and humor of the Zen master, is a representative work of portrait painting in the Song Dynasty, and the portrait of the characters before the Ming and Qing dynasties, there is no one who can stand out. "It turns out that Master Muxi's "Guanyin Ape and Crane Picture" is a group of three pictures?" Hong Tianbao said in surprise.

Ding Lao nodded: "This set of pictures is a group of three, Muxi is a native of Southern Song and Sichuan, and he was once published for opposing Jia Yidao. This person's painting method is extremely sleeved, and each painting is made with the pen and ink, and the meaning is simple and does not need to be decorated. The most classic "Evening Bell of the Smoke Temple" is a few strokes, which is simply a masterpiece. ”

This group of Guanyin ape crane picture is the famous Zen door public case map, this in addition to Guanyin, the meaning of the ape crane is not known at all, especially the female ape, holding the cubs, the same as human beings, but also blankly stared, I don't know how to understand, as if the painter used a brush to draw a questionnaire full of Zen machine, let the world answer.

Wang Xizhi's "Funeral Post" is too famous, among the ten national treasures, Hong Tianbao knows the national treasure best.

"Alas! There are so many treasures in the Wandering Sun Country. Most of us don't know the names at all, only a few of the famous ones. In addition, the Japanese country hid them, so we have no way of knowing.

According to records at the time, the cultural property plundered by the Japanese was 1 taming box, and there were 10,000 pieces. Of course, many of them are gold and silverware, and almost all of them have been re-smelted into gold and silver by Japan. The destruction of the monuments reached the base. The loss of cultural relics to the people is no longer incalculable. Kong Lao was also sighing, and felt extremely sad for the demise of those national treasures.

"Isn't it? At the beginning, Japan caused a heinous crime against our country, but afterwards this country did not feel any guilt at all, and it is hard to imagine what kind of nation this is. "Yan Lao really doesn't like a nation like Japan.

He still remembers that during the Japanese army's full-scale invasion of China, the destruction of Chinese cultural relics had a far-reaching impact, and the Japanese army even replaced the golden silk nanmu pillar of the archway in front of the Lama Temple in 1939 with a cement column, which led to the loss of the brilliance of the archway, and transported the replaced Nanmu pillar to Japan, and it is said that several rooms were built in the ancient house, which shows that the Japanese army plundered the cultural relics of China.

When it comes to this topic, everyone can't help but fall into the evil deeds of the Japanese country. Once again, the crimes committed by Japan in China will be brought up again, and the words will be like a flood breaking through a floodgate, and they will not be able to close it.

"I hope that the murals and various reliefs that Japan used extreme means to show off in Dunhuang will still be preserved. Otherwise, it would be a real sin. Xu Lao sighed.

When I first participated in the cultural exhibition of Japan, I saw a relief, which was a cultural relic from Dunhuang. It is said that it is a cultural exhibition of their Japanese country, but in fact, more than ninety percent of the cultural relics were plundered by China. but also proudly took it out to show off to the whole world, which made people hate it. ...,"It's impossible to preserve everything properly.,They didn't have that kind of technology at the beginning.。 Director Ding shook his head and said, he has managed the museum for so many years, and he knows how difficult it is to repair and preserve cultural relics. At the beginning, Xiao Ri plundered so much, if it was precious, it would be better to say, not very famous, they would definitely be left aside, after all, the annual repair cost is also a huge amount of money.

"This is true, when Taishan, a famous professor at one of their universities and also in the Japanese antique industry, invited me to visit, I saw that many cultural relics were put on the shelf, and it was distressing to see. I wanted to buy it back but was refused, so I left in a huff. Li Lao also recalled his experience in Japan.

"Alas! Now it's a matter of how much you can get back. Yan Lao sighed, these historical questions are quite helpless.

"By the way, I heard Tang Yatou say, a big family in Britain invited you to Britain? He also threatened to return the treasures looted in the Old Summer Palace? Kong Lao asked suddenly.

The others also recovered from the crusade against Xiao Ri and waited for Hong Tianbao's response.

"Is there such a thing? The many treasures that were shipped back in Southeast Asia in the past two days were snatched out by them with their help in the Japanese Imperial Palace. I'm going to go to Britain next week, and according to them, there are probably tens of thousands. Hong Tianbao did not hide it.

Kong Lao clapped his hands and applauded: "Good! Good! Good! When the time comes, I'll send a special plane to pick you up. ”

Yan Lao and others are also very happy, Hong Tianbao is really the savior of the Chinese antique industry, in a short period of time, so many treasures have been returned. Many of them were something they had never thought of before, such as the Zodiac Divine Jade Carving, Kyushu Ding, etc. It is foreseeable that it will not be long before the cultural relics that Huaguo lost overseas will gradually return to China.

A few people chatted, and the meal was ready in the kitchen. Kong Lao was reluctant to let the two jars of immortal wine be ruined like this, so he hurriedly hid one jar, which made Yan Lao and the others roll their eyes.

After eating and drinking, Hong Tianbao went home, and the others were preparing to announce the two national treasures and artifacts of Japan, and this time they had to shake the country. (To be continued.) [Text provided by]
