Cheng Mo actually guessed that Xie Minyun would not let him go, and would definitely pull him into the water.

Probably ordinary people can't understand that this is Xie Minyun's way of releasing kindness and tactful greetings, but Cheng Mo has long understood that this is Xie Minyun's embarrassing overture. After getting along with each other, you will be able to find out this senior sister, when her tone is rigid, her speech seems to be memorizing a dictionary, and she is looking for an opportunity that obviously should not be an opportunity to force you to interact, it means that Xie Minyun is telling you that I want to talk to you.

It's just that she never expresses herself directly, but turns sharply and forcefully, forcing you to follow her movements, which is not soft at all, and is often mistaken for provocation or difficulty.

Just like now, she doesn't know if Cheng Mo has studied art at all, so why does she think that Cheng Mo will definitely be able to give her a perfect answer?

Perhaps, for Xie Minyun, Cheng Mo's soul is all hidden and buried deep in the dark water, although he is a sparkling diamond, but no one can glimpse it, so what she can do is to constantly throw in bitter salt grains and change the density of the water, so that Cheng Mo's diamond can gradually float.

Maybe it was in vain, but she worked tirelessly.

It's really a withdrawn, dull, stiff, dark method.

Unlike Yan Yitong, who clearly put on a look that I just want to be good to you, I just want to warm you, Xie Minyun always uses unexpected stimulation to seek communication with Cheng Mo.

From the first time he asked Du Leng to invite him to the party, the logic of Xie Minyun's behavior was revealed, but it was not obvious at that time.

That's right, the hedgehog is already covered in thorns.

At this time, seeing that everyone was focused on him, and then the people around him actually dispersed a little, isolating him, Cheng Mo could only plan to speak, after all, abroad, he and they both represented the image of a Chinese person, although Cheng Mo's view of the concept of the country was far less important than that of ordinary teenagers, and it was not as important as that of a red aristocrat like Xie Minyun.

But the word hometown still has some weight.

Cheng Mo glanced at the silent group of Japanese people, their eyes were full of a sense of superiority, probably the kind of eyes of some city people looking at the countrymen, this kind of eyes are full of every corner of the world, there are regions, people of race, there are skin colors, there are education, there are occupations, there are appearances, there are rich and poor......

There is no end to the superiority of human beings, some are explicit, some are implicit, they will always continue to dig out their superiority, and chew the taste of happiness.

But this desire for superiority is not useless, it also provides the impetus for human beings to move forward, human beings progress in comparison, tend to improve in comparison, reflect in comparison, seek trouble in comparison, and comfort themselves in comparison.

It's like "more than the top is less than the bottom", this is really the most beautiful self-comfort, because in human self-knowledge, there is no worse person below them, and they are at the bottom of the world.

He is not exempt from vulgarity, in his lonely and humble years, when he gradually envies those energetic and glamorous youth, he can only establish a sense of spiritual superiority, just like a mature adult looking down on these children who do not understand social reality.

His sense of superiority comes from the countless books.

It also comes from his clearer understanding of the world, as well as his powerlessness and weakness.

It's like he knew that Xie Minyun was courting him, but he still chose to turn around silently, which was both rational and unconfident.

Cheng Mo fell into a brief trance in the sight of the onlookers, and it was not until he re-came into contact with Xie Minyun's clear gaze that he seemed to come back to his senses, and at this time, many people were already muttering to themselves whether this ordinary-looking teenager was worthy of being specially named by such an outstanding goddess.

Cheng Mo sighed, first said in Japanese: "Actually, I don't know much about art, I have never been to the Louvre before, let alone seen the real works of the masters, when it comes to oil painting or sculpture, I am just a layman, I basically don't know much about the techniques of painting and sculpture, color, light and shadow, composition and perspective....."

Cheng Mo said while the little fat man next to him was still doing part-time translation, stumbling to translate Cheng Mo's Japanese into Chinese, as Mo finished the first sentence, both Japanese and Chinese people were a little surprised.

It's just that the emotions contained in their surprise are not the same, and the Chinese people feel that Cheng Mo is too unpretentious to admit it at the beginning, or Senior Sister Xie is powerful, and when she goes up, she will be stunned, and the other party who said it bowed her head and admitted her mistake, speechless.

As for the Japanese people, it seems that Cheng Mo does not understand art as well as Xie Minyun, and he doesn't even know some basic things, which is certainly not a modest statement, so how can he tell them about Venus, the goddess of victory, and even the essence of art?

The big wave man first heard that Cheng Mo was also fluent in Japanese, and his heart trembled, and he said in his heart: "I didn't expect that Huaxia is really talented, a student group of thirty or forty people, there are actually two geniuses who are proficient in many Chinese, it seems that he really underestimated the Chinese people..." But when he heard Cheng Mo say that he didn't understand painting and sculpture at all, he breathed a sigh of relief, and interrupted Cheng Mo with a hypocritical smile: " This classmate, art is a luxury, it takes time to accumulate, you are not even the first time to the Louvre, you don't even understand the most basic things, why explain the essence of art to me? You must know that I am a bachelor of art, if you are not sure, it is better not to say it, otherwise I will mercilessly point out your mistakes!"

After a pause, the big wave man said a little arrogantly: "After all, you can't insult my profession." ”

In the face of Cheng Mo's big waves, he was not so polite to Xie Minyun, who called Cheng Mo just a mediocre boy.

Cheng Mo said lightly: "I'm just standing in the perspective of an ordinary person, telling everyone how to appreciate artworks, I guess there is no chance to insult your professional level....."

The big wave man continued to smirk, maintaining his superficial politeness, but in his heart he wanted to find an opportunity to humiliate this kid who didn't know the height of the sky.

Cheng Mo didn't look at the group of Japanese students, but looked at the statue of Venus and said: "Before I came to France, I did some homework on the Louvre, because when I arrived in Paris, I felt that I couldn't miss the Louvre, the temple of art, and even felt that it was best not to miss any of the works, especially the Three Treasures of the Town Museum, but in fact, the Louvre has more than 400,000 collections, and it is difficult for a person to appreciate them all in his life, as for "Venus de Milo", "Goddess of Victory", "Mona Lisa" These three precious works of art, for most people, actually do not understand what is so good about them. ”

"So, as ordinary people, when we appreciate a work of art, we first have to understand what art is for and why it has value. ”

"To put it simply, art is an extension of the human spiritual world, a projection of wisdom acting on the real world. Personally, I believe that there are three main categories of extensions of the human spiritual world: philosophy, art and science, of which science is a derivation of philosophy, philosophy gives the task of understanding the world to physics, the task of understanding the relationship between man and the world to social science, and the task of understanding human beings themselves to psychology and ethics. ”

In fact, most of us ordinary people have a hard time understanding art, let alone the value of art, why is the value of "Mona Lisa's Smile" more than $10 billion? In addition to this, it also contains commercial value and historical value. The accumulation of each variable may increase or dilute the value of the geometric level. So the value of a work of art is not entirely determined by the height of the work of art, just as a red shivering leather jacket is almost worthless without the Michael Jackson label..."

"So what does this mean, and that's why fakes are not valuable, it shows that the value of art is the idea that the author wants to express, and not just the skill of painting or sculpture that he has mastered.... And for every person who identifies with this author, his artistic value will be higher..."

"Speaking of which, everyone should understand that our appreciation of art is not only a superficial appreciation of painting skills, but also a recitation of which period and which school is a representative work..... Rather, it is to see the ideas that the painter wants to express through the work, that is to say, to look at a painting, to understand the background of the era when it was created, including history, religion and politics, as well as the style of the painting school at that time, especially the artist's own life background and the story behind him.

"As an ordinary person, how do we appreciate a work of art? I think that any love comes from interest, in fact, you don't need to mind what you will miss, whether this thing is famous, first of all, find a painting that will make you stop, take a closer look, whatever the reason it makes you stop, you can start thinking and asking, let's take "Mona Lisa's Smile" as an analogy, I am very interested in him now, then I will ask in my mind, who painted this work? Who is he drawing, and why are the people laughing?"

"Then you can turn on your phone and start searching for all the information about the painting and connect with it....."

Cheng Mo directly put aside the skills, and cut into the story behind it to tell the story of this painting, starting from the European millennium where Leonardo da Vinci lived, the so-called "Dark Age", and told everyone that the paintings at that time were mainly used to express the mysterious solemnity of religion, so the portraits before this were indifferent, numb and expressionless, so this painting will be titled and named after "smile".

In addition, the Mona Lisa looks at the viewer outside the painting, affectionately like a lady next door, which is rare in previous portraits, and even more taboo in religious paintings.

Leonardo da Vinci borrowed this painting to express human nature, truth, and a kind of rebellion against religious oppression, because he was not only a painter, but also a great astronomer, inventor, architectural engineer, and good at sculpture, music, invention, architecture, mathematics, physiology, physics, astronomy, geology and other disciplines, both versatile and industrious, and the manuscript preserved is about 6,000 pages.

Even Albert Einstein believed that if da Vinci's scientific work had been published at the time, technology could have been advanced by 30 to 50 years.

After talking about the historical background, Cheng Mo went on to say some interesting things related to "Mona Lisa's Smile", such as the painting was not taken seriously at first because it was stolen by the Italians, claiming that it was a national treasure to return to China, and for example, when the police were arresting the thief, they also arrested Pablo Picasso, a young Spanish artist who was wandering in Paris at the time, because Picasso had dealt with a local thief in Paris.

For example, the theft of the painting was widely reported by the media, making "Mona Lisa's Smile" the most visible artwork in the world at the time, and then countless people came to the Louvre to see the hooks on the walls.....

All this has made "Mona Lisa's Smile" the "No. 1 painting in the world", and if it were not for the stolen god turn, this painting would not have such high value and popularity.

A group of Japanese people listened to it fascinated, they never thought that there was such a wonderful story behind a painting, as for the little fat man's translation level has long been unable to keep up, so Xie Minyun translated to the rest of the group, everyone was deeply shocked, feeling that they had taken a vivid art class, and had a shallow understanding of art....

Then Cheng Mo told the story behind Venus with the broken arm, first from "The Birth of Venus", Botticelli's masterpiece of the world, began to talk about the story of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, and contacted many paintings in the Louvre, telling everyone how to judge whether the painting is Venus from the many Venus paintings, one of which is to see if there is her son - Cupid in it.

In addition, about excavation and archaeology, Cheng Moke was taught by Cheng Yongze, so he cut in from this aspect, and talked about the famous statue of Venus with a broken arm in front of everyone, which is actually a restoration, which should be quite different from the original, and he also speculated on the level of science and technology at that time from the difficulty of the marble sculpture.....

After finishing speaking, Cheng Mo naturally won a round of applause.

A group of Japanese students were even more amazed, and there were even several Japanese girls holding picture clips who asked Cheng Mo if he had FB, Titter or Instagram, but Cheng Mo naturally didn't have it, which made several girls quite disappointed.

Da Lang had nothing to say, whether it was true or false, he showed admiration for the five-body throw, and after Cheng Mo finished speaking, he bowed to Cheng Mo and apologized, and then took his students away.

Tang Wenjun looked at the left Ri people and compared his middle finger, and turned his head excitedly to Cheng Mo and said, "Damn!

"Cheng Mo, you are so good, why do you not only know Japanese, but also understand so much?" Tu Huiqin looked at Cheng Mo and asked with a look of admiration.

"I just did some homework before I came to Paris, and I just took it out and said it....." Cheng Mo was still expressionless, and he didn't feel proud, as if he had done something insignificant.

"Wow! I didn't expect to be so serious about preparing for the museum, I really love to learn....." Feng Leiting, who was holding Tu Huiqin, sighed.

"Can you tell us about other works later?" Tu Huiqin asked expectantly, and suddenly several girls surrounded her, and echoed: "I want to listen too, I want to listen too.... Cheng Mo is much better than what Sister Yingying said...."

For knowledgeable people, girls still like and revere them, but they just think it's funny to like it, just like treating a toy that can provide fun, it's not "that kind of like" or "love"....

Of course, Cheng Mo didn't want to be a commentator, and when he was about to shake his head, Xie Minyun walked over, pulled Cheng Mo's arm and said coldly to everyone: "I'm sorry, I have to take him to another place, you guys go shopping by yourself first!"

Before Cheng Mo could react properly, he was dragged out of the crowd by Xie Minyun and walked in the opposite direction, he turned his head to look at Xie Minyun and wanted to say let him go, but when he saw the sunlight shining on her soft forehead and pouring down her hair, he suddenly understood that some people are born with a vivid and eternal art.

Cheng Mo had never observed a girl so closely and unscrupulously in his life, and in the crowded Louvre, he suddenly felt a kind of emptiness, as if the most luxurious house in the world was empty, only him and Xie Minyun - and a whole lot of priceless art.

But he has no interest in those expensive artworks, none of which are more interesting than Xie Minyun.

Yes, Xie Minyun has a feeling of both longing and repulsion called Cheng Mo.

It's like traveling, and when you arrive in a beautiful country that is completely unfamiliar, it's a wonderful thrill for you.

There's nothing more intriguing than being ignorant of everything around you, and all of a sudden, it's like going back to your childhood, where you don't understand, you don't understand, you only have the most basic and superficial feelings about your surroundings, and you feel a danger even when you're walking down the street.

All around you is the unknown and the guess, you are greedy and careful to observe everything, to maximize your senses, to fill your mind with wonder and imagination.

Cheng Mo thought that this was probably the meaning of travel.

(It's a little late, because it's a two-in-one update, and there's another chapter later)
