Chapter 360: National Treasures, Come to My Bowl (1)

After taking photos in front of the well, the couple visited the gathering place of the "Harvard Choir", "Holworthy-Gate" (a Harvard gate jointly donated by Harvard graduates), and "Harvard Science Center"

At noon, the couple was in a public cafeteria on the Harvard campus, and after finishing lunch, they began to visit slowly.

At the first stop of the afternoon, Austin took his wife to the "Harvard Memorial".

The "Harvard Memorial Hall" was built in 1878, and the memorial hall is divided into four main parts - "Cross Road Memorial Hall", "Saunders Concert Hall", "Student Union", and "Enenburg Hall". Among them, only the "Cross Road Memorial Hall" is the only place open to the public.

The "Cross Road Memorial Hall" was built to commemorate the 136 Harvard students who died fighting for the Allied forces during the American Civil War. On the walls of the memorial hall are the name tags of all the students who have died, and many of the stained glass above are donated by Harvard's famous graduates.

After leaving the Harvard Memorial, Austin took his wife on a tour of the Sackler-Musuem on the Harvard campus.

Speaking of the "Sackler Museum", in addition to the collection of many works of art from Indian culture and Islamic culture, the largest collection of this museum is actually all ancient Chinese cultural relics and antiques! There are many cultural relics and antiques, which can be called a "national treasure" collection of Chinese art!

Watching the national treasures of his own country being displayed in museums of other countries, Pei Pei suddenly felt an indescribable indignation in her heart!

- Exactly! The private museum I built in Hong Kong will soon be topped out. It was a pity that I was still in my own collection before, and the collection after the Yuan Dynasty was too few! Hmph, there's a way now!

Peipei's eyes were burning as she gazed at the museum's collection of fine art from the Ming and Qing dynasties

She rubbed her chin and made a decision-

She's a monk with a golden finger! If you want to retrieve your country's national treasure from this museum, there are many ways! Even if she can't see the light of day immediately after retrieving these national treasures, she has a solution!

For example, you can contact an auction house, pay a little money, and "buy" these stolen goods through the channel of the guò auction house! Even if the museum wants to come to the door to find trouble, a lawsuit will take at least several years!

And, according to past practice. When the time comes, just compensate for the loss of the museum a little. These treasures can be kept in their own hands in the open! - This set of methods is still Pei Pei once from his own old man who will be invited to participate in various auctions whenever he is free, and I heard him mention it in passing!

Of course, this set of solutions is still designed for ordinary people!

For Pei Pei, a cultivator with a golden finger to cheat. She doesn't even want to pay compensation to these former robbers!

If you're afraid of trouble. When the time comes, simply bring these national treasures into the space. According to international conventions, as long as they are taken out after a hundred years, these national treasures will have passed the retroactive period!

Back in the day. The British Museum in Britain relied on this international convention to occupy a large number of Chinese national treasures in the Old Summer Palace!

Anyway, for Pei Pei, a cultivator who has practiced the exercises, a hundred years has not even reached half of his entire life!

- Shouldn't I take a chance to go to England in the way of others?

Pei Pei fumbled her chin to think about the sudden idea, and then, a faint evil smile appeared on the corner of her mouth

After visiting all the ancient Chinese collections, Pei Pei quietly left the museum with her husband Austin.

As soon as she walked out of the door of the museum, Pei Pei's mind began to drift a little - she was thinking about whether she should come over tonight to explore the way or something.

Thinking like this all the way, Pei Pei followed Austin all the way to the direction of the next destination-

————————————————————

After about ten minutes of walking around the Harvard campus, Austin and Peipei finally arrived at their next destination, the Fogg-Art-Museum, also on the Harvard campus.

On the wall at the entrance of the art museum hangs a catalogue of all the collections of the museum.

And the collection in the first place is actually a national treasure of China - "Dunhuang murals"!

Speaking of the origin of this collection, we have to mention a controversial Harvard graduate - the American explorer "Langdon Warner"!

Why is he controversial? Because in addition to the Japanese who rated this guy as "the savior of Japanese culture", this guy is in the eyes of explorers from other countries as the most notorious and despicable deceiver, thief, and robber

Some of the Dunhuang artworks in the "Fogg Art Museum" were stripped from the walls of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang by Langdon Warner with special glue and stolen into the United States.

Another part of the exquisite Dunhuang artworks, such as the "Exquisite Colored Sculpture of the Tang Dynasty Offering to the Bodhisattva" and countless Buddhist scriptures that have been handed down from the Tang Dynasty to the present day, were obtained by this swindler named Langdon Warner from the Taoist priest surnamed Wang, who was in charge of guarding the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang.

This thief, robber, and liar, when facing the condemnation of the Chinese government at that time, actually wrote an extremely shameless book to defend - at that time, the soldiers of the White Russians were cooking in the cave of the Mogao Grottoes, and the smoke and moisture had a great destructive effect on the murals.

This answer is very controversial in international public opinion, because it has become a well-known shield for European and American countries to steal and plunder the cultural heritage of other countries.

In her previous life, Pei Pei, who was born as the lord of the Tang Dynasty, saw the exquisite Dunhuang murals collected in the art museum and the "colored statue of the Bodhisattva", the treasure of the country, and the spirit of her heart could no longer be restrained (to be continued......

PS: Before the opening of the article, the author made a lot of settings and foreshadowing, such as "Inheriting the Jade Seal". In my original conception, I had already planned that when the story progressed to '08, I would arrange for Pei Pei to go to the British Museum in the United Kingdom before the opening of the Olympic Games, and then get all the Chinese national treasures looted during the Eight-Nation Alliance's burning of the Old Summer Palace back to China.

Before the book was signed by the Biquge www.biquge.info, and when it was also serialized on JJ, a reader asked me in the comment area when I wrote "The Jade Seal of the Country", and I answered the reader like this at the time. However, I didn't have a clear idea of how to deal with the national cultural relics after getting them back from those museums abroad. But after such a long time in the making, I have already figured out the solution, so let's sell a pass here!
