There are a lot of people in the exhibition hall, especially in front of those famous artworks, such as "Venus de Milos", "Mona Lisa", "David" and so on, but unfortunately most of the copies sent by the Louvre to display this time are replicas, and they are very perfunctory, not even granite replicas have been sent, only some plaster replicas are placed here.

Qin Ling was very disappointed, but even if it is a plaster copy, people can still appreciate a trace of the charm of the original work from the sculpture, especially in front of "Venus de Milos", many viewers are admiring the beauty of Venus.

Hearing these exclamations, Shen Long remembered the joke he had seen in the later life, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, Qin Ling turned his head, "What are you laughing at?" Isn't this statue good? ”

"No, no matter how you look at the whole statue, you can find some kind of unified and unique beauty, just a kind of classicist ideal beauty, full of poetry, but when I think of the identity background of Venus, I feel awkward when I look at this statue again, and I can't look at this beauty directly." Shen Long said.

"Oh? What is special about Venus's identity background? Wasn't she born in the foam of the sea? Qin Ling asked suspiciously, this kind of birth is also full of poetry.

"That's true, but have you ever wondered why she was born in a bubble?" Shen Long couldn't help but smile and began to popularize ancient Greek mythology to Qinling, the myths and legends of ancient Greece are too yellow, and now everyone sees a lot of reduced copies, and many keys have not been said.

"This is going to start from the source of ancient Greek mythology, in Greek mythology, the earliest god in the universe is Caius, who created Gaia, the mother of the earth, and Gaia gave birth to the heavenly father Ouranos......" With Shen Long's narration, there were more and more people listening around, and he was a little embarrassed to talk about the dirty content behind.

"Ouranos is Gaia's son and her husband...... "The crowd exclaimed for a while, the news was a little too exciting, "Ouranos kept venting his desires on Gaia, Gaia was pregnant, but Ouranos was greedy for power and refused to let Gaia give birth to the child, resulting in a bunch of Gaia's children being choked in her stomach." ”

Many of the surrounding audience's faces are green, what the fuck is this? Don't even let pregnant women go? They know that the excitement is yet to come.

"Gaia and the children couldn't stand Ouranos, so she let the child in her womb, Kronos, take advantage of Ouranos's assault on her, grab Ouranos's words from her body and cut it off with a knife." Hearing this, the male audience felt a chill in their crotches, and their son castrated his father? That's too ruthless, isn't it? And where did this knife come from?

"Ouranos, who had lost those words, jumped up from Gaia in severe pain, and the heavens and the earth were separated, and the world was born, and in Greek mythology, the world was created in this way." The audience looked at each other, and compared to this, they seemed to be more willing to accept the idea that Pangu opened the world.

"What are you talking about? What does this have to do with Venus? Qin Ling couldn't stand it anymore.

"Don't worry, we'll talk about Venus soon." Shen Long continued, "After Ouranos and Gaia separated, those children could finally come out, Kronos was the first to come out, still holding the words of Ouranos in his hand, he felt that it was not very elegant, so he threw it into the sea, but he didn't expect that after the words fell into the sea, a large number of bubbles suddenly appeared, and a beautiful woman was born from the sea, this is Aphrodite, which is the Venus we see now." ”

To put it simply, Venus, the most beautiful woman in the world, is actually what Tintin became, as soon as the words fell, the audience gathered in front of the statue of Venus instantly retreated, and several women who were looking at the statue quickly turned their heads, so I was not looking at a big Dingding?

"You've ruined all my beautiful imagination of Venus!" Qin Ling was speechless for him, and quickly pulled him aside, if he stayed here, he would have to be beaten to death by the audience, he was not the only one who offended Qin Ling just now, and he didn't see the eyes of those listeners looking at him wrong.

After walking a few steps, they saw Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun standing in front of the painting "The Death of Marat", Zheng Tong and a teacher arguing fiercely about who is the hero of Marat and Corday.

The teacher thinks that Marat is the real hero, but Zheng Tong thinks that Charlotte Corday, who assassinated Marat, is, and he uses his abundant knowledge to refute the teacher for nothing.

Shen Long actually disagreed with their views, the teacher only knew how to read from the book and had been praising Marat according to the explanations in the textbook, while Zheng Tong's support for Ke Dai's views was a bit bookish, completely from the perspective of intellectuals, and ignored the low-level people who supported Marat.

Shen Long actually didn't like Marat, but the reason was a little different from Zheng Tong, in addition to Marat's identity as a doctor and revolutionary, he was also a civilian scientist, and wrote several articles on phlogiston theory, which was refuted by Lavoisier, the founder of modern chemistry, as useless; After Marat came to power, he brought Lavoisier to court, and after Marat's death, Lavoisier was executed, which can be compared to the Roman soldiers who killed Archimedes, which is a great loss to human science.

"Is this painting original?" Qin Ling was not interested in their arguments, and instead studied the paintings seriously.

"It's not the original, the original work of "The Death of Marat" is in the Belgian art gallery, and the Louvre's is just a copy." Shen Long replied, Zheng Tong's argument was over at this time, Shen Long waved to them, and the four of them walked out of the exhibition hall together.

Although the four of them are in the same capital, they rarely see each other, but since they met this time, they found a place to sit down and chat, Shen Long learned that Zheng Tong is now engaged in research at the Institute of History of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and Jiang Biyun is a Chinese teacher in a middle school.

Hearing that Shen Long had obtained a doctorate, Zheng Tong was a little envious, and talked about Zhong Yuemin while chatting, Zheng Tong told Shen Long that Zhong Yuemin came back to visit relatives some time ago, and originally discussed getting together with everyone, who would have thought that Zhong Yuemin would be urgently called back by the army after only one day.

Shen Long thought about it, it might be the mission that led to Wu Manchu's sacrifice, he muttered a little in his heart, Ning Wei also participated in this mission, I don't know if something will happen to him.

Before he could worry about it for a few days, Shen Long got the news from home that Ning Wei came back to look for him, Shen Long muttered in his heart, and quickly put down what he was doing and went home to see Ning Wei.
