Chapter 848: The Pride of the Japanese
This saved Jin Muchen a lot of trouble, because if this Heavenly Saint Bronze Man, if he was in his pocket today, he would also have to go through the purple jade space to repair it.
You must know that when this bronze man was passed on to the hands of the Qing Dynasty, it was basically tattered, not only the external meridians and acupuncture points were blurred, but even the internal organs had rotted into slag.
And the Qing Dynasty people have not repaired this bronze figure, after all, in their opinion, it is a time-consuming and laborious work to rebuild and repair this bronze figure, it is better to directly make a few new ones from the orthodox bronze figure of the Ming Dynasty.
So this is also one of the main reasons why this bronze figure was able to escape the clutches of the Russians, precisely because the Russians disliked it for being too old and tattered, so they did not snatch this bronze figure, but robbed the well-preserved orthodox bronze figure.
Unexpectedly, such a tattered bronze man still failed to escape the poisonous hands of the Japanese in the end.
And if the Japanese don't repair this bronze figure, if Jin Muchen uses the purple jade space to repair this bronze figure, it will be a job that will take time and waste energy.
Now that the Japanese have repaired it for him, of course he doesn't have to waste time and energy on repairing this bronze figure.
Jin Muchen put away the bronze figure and continued to move forward, but at this time, the things in the treasure hall of Horyu Temple, he basically felt that he had almost collected it.
There are many Japanese people who think of it as top-notch national treasures, but in his opinion, these things are just that.
For example, those Japanese bronze lamps, and some other bronzes, in the eyes of the Japanese, this is the crystallization of the wisdom and technology of their ancestors.
But in Jin Muchen's opinion. It's just a bunch of rough knockoffs, and compared to the Japanese national treasures he looted before.
These Japanese national treasures with rough craftsmanship have no inheritance and do not have the addition of historical allusions, so they are collectible. or archaeological value, it is several levels lower.
Jin Muchen didn't bother to scavenge these things to waste the space in his purple jade space, so he basically let them all go.
Of course, he just didn't want it, but that didn't mean he would leave these things to the Japanese.
As before, he pulled out the time bombs he had prepared earlier and installed them on the pedestals of these exhibits of Japan's national treasures. When the time comes, these bombs will explode.
The accelerants released by the bomb after the explosion will easily burn these bronze objects into molten iron, and other so-called Japanese national treasures will eventually turn into ashes.
Jin Muchen raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning, it was almost three o'clock, and there were still two or three hours. It's almost dawn.
And he still has an East Asian Pavilion to patronize, so he doesn't plan to waste any more time in this Horyuji Treasure Hall.
But at the moment when he was about to step out of this Horyuji Treasure Hall. But I saw something interesting in a corner at the door of this treasure house.
The exhibit, which was very small, was the size of a palm when you looked closer, and it was enclosed in a glass cover in an inconspicuous corner on the left-hand side of the doorway.
Although the thing is not big. It's not good-looking, but this exhibit exudes a strange light that Jin Muchen can't ignore.
This kind of light is very peculiar in Jin Muchen's opinion, that is, it is not the golden light of the royal special precious treasures. It's not the glow of other treasures that have their own attributes.
Anyway, this kind of light is the first time Jin Muchen has seen it, the color of this light is difficult to describe, it is a dark earthy yellow, not as conspicuous as the light that flashes other treasures, but it has a very indescribable sense of heaviness.
If you are not a person who plays antiques, it is generally difficult to experience such a feeling in antiques.
This feeling is strange, not so much because of people's feelings about the treasure, but because of the unique temperament of the treasure itself.
And the antiques that can generally derive their own temperament are almost all very remarkable treasures.
And now Jin Muchen has encountered such a treasure, so he stopped, and then came to the front of this display case.
Standing still and taking a closer look, I saw clearly the exhibit in this display case, which was a very rough-looking, even ugly pottery puppet.
It looks very much like the hilt of a modern sword, and if it weren't for the position at the waist and two human hands sticking out, it is very likely that people who do not know how to do it will regard this thing as a sword hilt accessory.
Jin Muchen stood in front of the display case, and did not rush to start, but carefully inspected the pottery puppet.
To be honest, he has a lot of pottery dolls in his hand, but there is really no one who is so ugly as this.
The clay dolls in his hand were all looted when he visited the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the British Museum.
Those pottery puppets are generally in the Han Dynasty or the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the tombs of the princes and nobles are very finely made.
There are enlarged models, which are almost the same as real boys and girls, the facial expressions are vivid, and the hairstyles and clothes on the body are very standard contemporary looks.
The miniature version of the singing and dancing singer looks like a singer, although it is only the size of a palm, but the expressions on the characters' faces, hairstyles, and clothes on their bodies are also quite exquisite.
Although Jin Muchen didn't like such tomb objects very much, when he was searching, because these pottery puppets were too exquisitely made, his hands were itchy for a while, and he couldn't help but scavenge a few.
And the pottery puppet in front of him, compared with the Chinese pottery puppets he collected before, is simply not worthy of the shoes of the master who made the pottery puppets in China.
The head of this pottery puppet is octagonal, the face is flat, and the two square-shaped patterns engraved on it represent human eyes.
The part of the nose is a deep groove, which represents the nose, and the mouth is made into a large circle.
The shape of the two hands is also quite funny, and if it weren't for a few decorative patterns on the shoulders, it would be really hard to tell that these are two hands.
Such a puppet, if you have to describe it, it can really only be described by the style of postmodern ideas, Jin Muchen is really hard to imagine that in Japan at that time, there would be a pottery puppet maker with postmodernist art cells.
But when he saw the introduction in front of this pottery puppet, he was relieved.
Jomon Late Works, circa 4500-3300s AD!
Seeing this, Jin Muchen's head shook suddenly, no wonder the Japanese would put such an ugly pottery puppet in the treasure hall of Horyuji Temple.
Just now, when he saw the appearance of this pottery puppet clearly, he was still secretly laughing at the aesthetic vision of the royal family that day.
It stands to reason that as a royal nobleman who has lasted for thousands of years, they must not be bad for money, and after thousands of years of accumulation, they should not lack any treasures!
But why would you collect such an ugly pottery puppet, and after seeing the age of this pottery puppet clearly, you will be relieved.
This is definitely one of Japan's national treasures!
Jomon's later works, the park's 4,000-year-old works, are indescribably ugly and rough in workmanship, but if you know what era this thing is, you will be relieved.
You must know that at that time, the ancestors of most countries and nations in the world were very likely to still pick fruits from trees to eat.
You must know that the history of China, according to the current research, is only more than 5,000 years, and the Japanese archipelago has been around for more than 4,000 BC.
At the very least, this pottery puppet is proof, and the people who can make such pottery puppets are definitely not those wild people who drink blood, but human beings who have already shown signs of civilization and even civilization.
In this way, the ancestors of these Japanese are also quite remarkable!
It's no wonder that the Imperial Family collects this ugly pottery puppet.
This can be said to be a top national treasure for the Japanese, and even for the entire Yamato nation!
It may not be pretty, and it has little treasure value, but this treasure proves that the ancestors of the Japanese are not wild people who drink blood, at least more than 4,000 years ago, they have been civilized and civilized in the park.
This will make many Japanese puff up their chests and believe that they are a superior race, and this clay doll is crucial to enhancing national pride.
Such a thing, of course, could not be left for the Japanese.
Especially when he saw such a pottery puppet, Jin Muchen immediately remembered that the skull of the Northern @Jing Ape Man that was lost by the Japanese before, as well as the oracle bone fragments that were snatched by the Japanese.
That is also the pride of our Chinese, especially the skull of the North @ Jing Ape Man, which can prove the existence of our Chinese ancestors, and it is the best reasonable legal evidence for our nation to occupy this existing land.
But because of the forcible seizure by the Japanese, the result is now nowhere to be found.
Do you think the Japanese did this intentionally or unintentionally?
Jin Muchen firmly believed that the Japanese deliberately lost or even destroyed the fossilized skull of the Northern @Jing ape.
After all, they were in the period of invasion of China, when they wanted to occupy China's territory forever, and in order to publicize the legitimacy of their occupation of China's territory, it was necessary to destroy the evidence of the legitimacy of the Chinese's own existence on this land.
So Jin Muchen suspected that the Japanese had deliberately lost or destroyed the skull of the Northern @Jing ape. (To be continued.) )
