Naturally, there are a lot of good things in the Chinese exhibition hall of the British Museum, among which the most exciting thing for Tang Dashao is Gu Kaizhi's "Female History Atlas" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

"The Female Historian" is the earliest surviving Chinese silk painting, one of the earliest works of Chinese professional painters that can still be seen, has a milestone significance in the history of Chinese art, and has always been a treasure collected by the court of all dynasties.

Of course, the genuine "Female History Atlas" has long been submerged in the rolling historical trend, and the "Female Historian" in the palace collection is also a copy version of the Tang Dynasty, but the copying technique is superb, the artistic value is high, and it is still sought after by many people in the case of the loss of the original manuscript, and the emperor of the last feudal dynasty in China is regarded as a treasure!

It is a pity that during the period when the British and French troops invaded the Qing Dynasty in China, such a treasure was stolen and later appeared in the British Museum, which is known as the treasure of the British Museum......

However, it is heart-wrenching that because scholars in Western countries do not know how to preserve such treasures, only nine paragraphs of the "Female History Zhentu" of the original text of the second section of the original text, also known as the 12th paragraph of the "Female History Zhentu", are still extant, and three of them are destroyed......

What's more, in order to reduce the number of open volumes, the British Museum cut the "Female Historian" into two pieces and hung it on a board. Since the "Female Historian" is more suitable for flat placement rather than hanging, there has been a situation of slag falling.

In addition, due to the lack of relevant knowledge, like a large number of other paintings and calligraphy, the "Female History Atlas" was replaced by Japanese-style mounting when it was remounted, so that the inscriptions left by the literati in the Ming and Qing dynasties were cruelly and ruthlessly cut, forming a historical fault.

In the face of this situation, non-violent heavenly things are not enough to describe ......

Of course, in addition to the "Female Historian", there are many other collections, such as the three-color statue of the Song Arhat, the Dunhuang scriptures, and the famous paintings of the Song and Ming dynasties. The bronze statue of the Shang Dynasty is two conjoined sheep, carrying a round tube in the middle, the shape is very beautiful and exquisite. There is also a porcelain wine pot of the Song Dynasty, the base and the responsibility are surrounded by a lotus flower, and a lion sits on the lid of the pot, which is a rare treasure.

The two large stone lions at the back door of the museum, which made Tang Dashao the most angry, were also transported from China......

What's the matter, what has become of these guys' greed, and they don't even let go of the stone lion......

There are so many things that make Tang Dashao anxious, obviously it is the treasure of his own country, but it can only be seen in other people's countries, and some of them were cut in half by others, don't mention those bitter tears......

Of course, there are not only Chinese things in the Oriental Art and Culture Museum, but also some cultural relics from small R countries, India, and Southeast Asian countries.

Most of the Indian collections are gemstones, with fiery red, sea blue, garnet red, and emeralds. Rhomboid, spherical, oval, and special-shaped are of different sizes, and Zheng Yating's eyes ripple when she sees it......

No way, women are said to be like dragons, born with no resistance to shiny things......

After visiting the Oriental Art Museum, Tang Dashao found a place to eat something in the museum, and went to other exhibition halls non-stop......

In the British Museum has set up a number of special national pavilions, in the Oriental Art and Culture Museum there is the Huaxia Pavilion, all the cultural relics from China are displayed in a unified manner, especially the Chinese porcelain, from the Han and Tang dynasties, down to the Ming and Qing dynasties, blue and white, Jun porcelain, Tang Sancai, cloisonne according to the age and origin of the arrangement, everything, probably the largest Chinese ceramics museum outside China.

However, the Huaxia Pavilion is not the most important of the British Museum, the most important is the Egyptian Pavilion......

Needless to say, Egypt is known as the four ancient civilizations along with China, ancient Babylon, and ancient India.

The History of World Civilization says that "ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, ancient India, China, and ancient Greece are the five major birthplaces of civilization in the world." Therefore, Egyptian culture has a long history like Chinese culture, and it is called the earliest kingdom in the world!

The Egyptian Pavilion of the British Museum houses three world-class artifacts, which are known as the three treasures of the British Museum, namely the bust of Ramses II, the Rosetta Stone, and the Book of Death of Arni.

The various statues, steles, mummies in the Egyptian Museum and others were eye-opening, especially Yani's Book of Death was an eye-opener for Tang Dashao, in which Tang Dashao also discovered master-level works, such as a golden mask in which Tang Dashao discovered the existence of aura......

Of course, this mask is not really important here, because the British Museum generally classifies artifacts according to how much research information is provided......

For example, Arni's Book of the Dead contains detailed records of the various trials, judgments, and incantations that the deceased must go through in order to attain eternal life, providing a wealth of information for the study of ancient Egyptian culture.

For example, the Rosetta Stone is actually an edict, which is narrated in three languages, namely Egyptian hieroglyphs, Egyptian cursive and ancient Greek......

Of course, Tang Dashao was far less interested in these things than he was in the porcelain, frescoes, and even the jewelry of ancient India......

Tang Dashao is interested in some stone statues, carvings, gold products and other artistic relics here, but he disdains those research cultural relics......

At the end of the day, after browsing the British Museum, Tang Dashao and the other four people were tired enough, this museum is too big, even if Tang Dashao only selected those more famous things to see, they still walked around with sore legs for a day......

At this time, the sky has darkened, and under the illumination of the street lamp, the shadow of a foreign country gradually lengthens with the light......

The four of them left the museum and walked down the street, and the most important thing for the tired and hungry four people now was to find a place to eat......

On the street, Tang Dashao felt that this place seemed to be similar to some places in China......

Because there are a lot of people here who are setting up stalls selling small things, most of which seem to be relatively old, and there are also a lot of handmade products, many people pick and choose here, and some people bargain......

Looking at this familiar scene, Tang Dashao couldn't help but ask, "Tingting, these people seem to be selling antiques?" ”

"Well, yes, in fact, this is now equivalent to the old front gate of the sea market, the glaze factory in the capital, but the stalls here are all at night, and the stalls are not allowed during the day, and at night, many people will come here to buy some small things after visiting the museum." Zheng Yating said.

"Haha, it's almost a souvenir in our Huaxia tourist area, let's take a look, maybe we can take out something good." Tang Dashao laughed.

"Go and see, anyway, most of the things here are handicrafts, and the price is appropriate, and they generally don't ask for a random price." Zheng Yating said with a smile.

Tang Dashao didn't look down, and directly swept the fist-sized Maitreya Buddha with his aura......

"Maitreya Buddha statue of mahogany, produced in China, carved on January 23, 2000......"

Nima, sure enough, is domestic, and it has been carved for less than two years......

Tang Dashao smiled bitterly and shook his head, this kind of thing, this kind of carving, even if it is given to himself for free, it is too troublesome to hold it himself, however, foreigners seem to be quite interested in these things, and things like Buddha statues are still very marketable......

"Bronze mirror, produced in Huaxia, ...... in the Tang Dynasty"

Suddenly, a piece of information jumped in Tang Dashao's mind, a bronze mirror, and it was a ...... from the Tang Dynasty

This bronze mirror and the Maitreya Buddha statue are the same stall owner, the bronze mirror is well preserved, the image displayed in Tang Dashao's mind, the front is illuminating, and the back seems to use the relief technique, carving two Arhats, one with long arms and the other with long legs, this should be the long-handed Arhat and long-legged Arhat in the legendary five hundred Arhats.

"Tingting, wait a minute, buy me something, that bronze mirror, be careful not to attract the attention of that person, it's a good thing." Tang Dashao said softly.

Zheng Yating couldn't help but glance at Tang Dashao lightly when she heard this, the bronze mirror was at least nearly two meters away from Tang Dashao, and when the sky was not very good, she could judge the authenticity of things from a distance of two meters?

Of course, doubts are doubts, she didn't doubt Tang Dashao's meaning, after all, for a long time, Tang Dashao's magical expression has made all the people around him wonderful......

Zheng Yating didn't have to bargain, she directly asked how much the mirror was, and then took out some money from her pocket and handed it over, and directly held the mirror in her hand......

Tang Da rarely saw this and couldn't help but sigh, are all foreign stalls like this? If those local vendors in China knew about it, they wouldn't have to rush to it......

There is no bargaining here, the money is so easy to make......

Holding the mirror in his hand, Tang Dashao looked at it carefully and nodded with satisfaction, this mirror is good, well-preserved, the things of the Tang Dynasty, brought back to China, on the auction house, at least it can be sold for hundreds of thousands, but it was missed again!

After picking up the leak, Tang Dashao didn't feel that his stomach was hungry, and began to spread his abilities frantically, and for a while, all kinds of information came over......

"Fake ......"

"Fake ......"

"Qing Dynasty Porcelain ......"

"Ming Dynasty Silver Hairpin ......"

"Fake ......"

"Qing Dynasty Carving ......"

"Fake ......"

"Fake ......"

Damn, Tang Dashao is going crazy......

It's not crazy because there are so many fakes......

It's crazy because of the authenticity here......

In China, when you visit Daqianmen or Liulichang, there are not necessarily a few people who can pick up the leaks in a year, but here, it seems that there are good things everywhere......
