This time, the British royal family was eager to obtain the Mona Lisa (part 3) to exchange the Chinese national treasure and some Dunhuang paintings and scriptures.

Otherwise, how could that Chinese national treasure and part of the Dunhuang painting scrolls and scriptures in the British royal family's collection be easily obtained!

Of course, the Louvre also has a bonus.

The Louvre exchanged 142 pieces of Chinese cultural relics that had not been exhibited in the Louvre for more than 100 years, and which had been in the treasure trove for more than 100 years, to Chen Rui's hands for 47 famous European paintings.

Although, to Bern. Hakan said that it was a pity that he did not exchange the "Mona Lisa" (part 3), a "national treasure" of the French, and the famous painting "Three Dynasty Worship", which can be compared to "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper".

However, it can be regarded as a very big gain.

47 famous European paintings were exchanged for Chen Rui, and many of the 47 famous paintings were Picasso, Paul. Famous paintings by Cézanne, Chagall, Van Gogh, Gauguin and other European painting masters.

It is only because of the political zhì and the fear of being claimed back by China and other reasons, that 142 pieces of Chinese cultural relics have been hidden in various treasure rooms for more than 100 years, and it is inconvenient to exhibit them.

It can be said that everyone who takes what he gets, everyone is happy-

March 17 at 9 a.m.

A British transport plane flew to Tortuga International Airport.

The aircraft door opens.

Earl Hill, who had been waiting on the side of the tarmac for a long time, and his hired staff walked forward quickly and unloaded 12 large boxes and 1 small box from the transport plane.

The small box contained the Chinese national treasure that made Chen Rui so excited that almost every cell in his body trembled.

There are also 12 large boxes containing part of the British royal family's collection of Dunhuang paintings and scriptures.

When Chinese mention the Dunhuang scrolls and scriptures, they have to mention two people, Stein and Wang Yuanji. and the emergence of Dunhuang testament and Dunhuang cave art, which has a very great influence in the international academic community. Dunhuang Studies.

Stein overhears about the discovery of a cave in the Mogao Grottoes from a merchant from U. and Rumqi who settled in Dunhuang.

So, Stein came to the Mogao Grottoes and exchanged 4 ingots of horse silver for 24 boxes of scriptures and 5 boxes of carefully bandaged silk paintings, thorn rust and other works of art from Wang Yuanqi (Wang Daoshi), who was guarding the Mogao Grottoes at that time.

In 1921, Stein came to China for his third 'archaeological expedition' and returned to Dunhuang. He also obtained 5 large boxes of documents to write this instrument.

Stein was the one who obtained the most scrolls and scrolls in the Dunhuang Cave.

In addition to him, there were also the expeditions of the Frenchman Birch and Birch, the three Central Asian expeditions sent by Mitsurui Otani in Japan and himself, and the American Warner and others who stole and bought a large number of paintings and scriptures from the Mogao Grottoes.

More than 35,000 scrolls of Dunhuang paintings and scriptures have been scattered overseas, accounting for two-thirds of all Dunhuang cultural relics.

There is no doubt that the Dunhuang picture scrolls and scriptures can be listed as cultural relics at the national treasure level.

Most of the 29 boxes of scriptures, manuscripts, and paintings that Stein brought back to England were hidden in Stein's secret room in the British Museum.

It has become the treasure of the Chinese Pavilion of the British Museum.

A small part was dedicated to the Queen of England at the time.

This part has been secretly hidden in the treasury of the British royal family for more than 100 years.

Now the British royal family has transported this part of the Dunhuang scrolls and scriptures to the island of Tortuga in exchange for the Mona Lisa (part 3).

The number is more than 1,200 manuscripts and more than 40 ancient Buddhist paintings and silk fabrics, and Uighur testaments, accounting for about one-tenth of the Dunhuang picture scrolls and scriptures that Stein stole from the Mogao Grottoes vault at that time.
