My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 400 Exchanging National Treasures
What crystal skull, the other party woke up and said, it didn't matter.

In his eyes, the national treasure of his own country is much better and more precious.Therefore, if they could be exchanged, Fang Xing would not hesitate.As for some people thinking that the crystal skull hides a big secret, Fang Xing scoffed.

Xia Yu on the side could hear her heart beating wildly.

He hadn't heard of anything else, but he was familiar with "The White Picture at Night".

"Tang Han Gan Zhao Ye Bai Tu" is a representative work of Han Gan, a famous painter in Tang Dynasty. The aesthetic concept of the time.

Its creation background also has a story.

During the Tang Xuanzong period, the relationship between the Central Plains and the Western Regions became increasingly close.Tang Xuanzong once married Princess Yihe to King Ningyuan of Dawan in the Western Region.For this reason, King Ningyuan specially donated two "sweaty horses" to Xuanzong.

Tang Xuanzong, who loved horses very much, loved these two horses very much, and named them "Yuhuacong" and "Zhaoyebai" respectively.Among them, "Zhao Yebai" not only accompanied Tang Xuanzong to travel in the mountains and rivers during the glorious period of the Tang Dynasty, but also accompanied him through the most desolate period of his life during the "Anshi Rebellion", which was especially loved by him.

And what is depicted in that work is "Zhao Yebai".

On the upper left of the screen, there are six characters inscribed "Han Gan's painting Zhao Yebai", which are inscribed by Li Yu, the posthumous master of the Southern Tang Dynasty.On the upper left is the word "Yanyuan", which seems to be the inscription of Zhang Yanyuan, a famous art historian in the Tang Dynasty; on the lower left is the inscription of Song Mifu, and it is stamped with the seal of "Tian Sheng Zhen Appreciation".It is an orderly legend.

It is said that in the 20s, the national treasure handed down from the Forbidden City was hidden in Pu Xinshe's home.

After the British collector David David knew about it, he asked Pu Chen to ask for the transfer, and finally transferred it to David David at a price of [-] silver dollars.Later, the painting was transferred from the British to the Japanese, and then to the Americans. Finally, the national treasure was collected in the Metropolitan Museum of America.

Xia Yu thought to himself, if he could exchange such a national treasure, he would also be willing to exchange his one.

They are also antique treasures, but he also prefers those from his own country, which have more cultural connotations.

The person in charge of the metropolis was a little speechless. What Fang Xing mentioned was the best collection of Chinese national treasures in their museum.

"Do you know the value of "Tang Han Gan Zhao Yebai Tu"?" He couldn't help but complain.

Fang Xing retorted: "Then do you know the value of the crystal skull?"

No matter what, you must brag about what you have at the moment in order to gain greater benefits.

In fact, Chinese national treasures and cultural relics may not be appreciated by foreigners.

Instead, they like things like crystal skulls very much.In their hearts, the value may be a little higher.So to a certain extent, exchanging treasures is a win-win approach, each takes what they need.

For example, the picture of the emperor worshiping the Buddha mentioned above is actually a stone carving in the Longmen Grottoes.

Among the countless grottoes in Longmen, the Binyang Middle Cave carved in the Northern Wei Dynasty is known as the essence of Chinese Buddhist art.

According to "Wei Shu Shi Lao Zhi", the Binyang Middle Cave was built from 500 A.D. to 523 A.D. It took 23 years and more than 80 manpower was used. The relief Buddha statues carved in the cave are all rare treasures. It includes the world-famous "Picture of the Emperor Respecting the Buddha".

There are three caves in Binyang, among which the two large reliefs in Binyang Middle Cave are the most famous: one is "Emperor Respecting Buddha" and the other is "Empress Wen Zhao Respecting Buddha".

In fact, it was the situation where Emperor Wei Xiaowen and his queen worshiped the Buddha.

However, such a rare treasure may not be so precious in the eyes of foreigners.

Take it out for auction, and what price you can get depends entirely on the mood of the Chinese buyers.

But the crystal skull is different. There are fanatics all over the world, and the gimmicks are also big, so the probability of being able to fetch a sky-high price is higher.Therefore, most of them are more biased towards crystal skulls.

The person in charge pretended to go aside and talk on the phone for a while, pretending to be the same thing.

It took almost half an hour before they returned to the negotiations, saying that they had agreed to this approach.

have to!Just agree.

At this time, Mr. Zhao and the others also got the news and called to inquire. After hearing Fang Xing's explanation, they said they rushed over immediately to help with the identification.

A group of old men are ecstatic!

"White Picture at Night", the picture of the emperor worshiping Buddha, the bronze bell of Qin Dynasty, the gold-plated belt hook inlaid with pearls, green Song stone and jade huang, and the dried lacquer and ramie of Tang Dynasty, etc., are all rare national treasures.

After returning to the country, they are all proper national first-class cultural relics.

Never expected that during this trip to the United States, Fang Xing would have such a harvest.This reminded Mr. Zhao of his previous experience in Europe, how similar it was!

"This little friend Fang really has a halo of luck!"

"Isn't it? My God, "The Picture of Shining Night and White", the picture of the emperor's ceremony to Buddha, and the Qin bronze bell, thanks to him daring to think about it, hahaha!"

"Why don't you dare? Those treasures are only rare for us Chinese, and the Yankees are even more rare for crystal skulls. However, this is a good thing for us."

……

The Mayan civilization has been hyped a lot, but in the eyes of Mr. Zhao and the others, it is just that, it was just a moment of glory.That kind of civilization, in China, is just a small branch.

Among other things, the famous Sanxingdui civilization will surpass the Mayan civilization.

Xia Yu secretly said to Fang Xing: "Can you help me too..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Xing knew what he meant and nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to them. What do you like?"

As he said that, Fang Xing handed Xia Yu the list of Chinese cultural relics collected by the Metropolitan Museum and the top national treasures in terms of rarity, and let him know and understand first.

"Thank you! I'll take a look first." Xia Yu was overjoyed.

In addition, Yuanyuan and Xu Qing also made the same request.

Jackie Chan had other ideas, so he didn't say anything for the time being.

In this way, excluding Jim's one, the one that Fang Xing put up for auction, and the one that Jackie Chan kept in his hand, Fang Xing can take out 10 crystal skulls in exchange.

The people of the Metropolitan Museum requested that the authenticity of the Crystal Skull be authenticated first.

Fang Xing was naturally satisfied with this and let them see the goods first.

When the 10 crystal skulls were in front of them, the appraisers of the Metropolitan Museum were dumbfounded, their faces were full of shock, and their mouths were full of "mygod".

I have to say that these gringos really love these weird things even more.

In fact, no wonder they.Fang Xing knew that the Crystal Skull had no other secrets, but he couldn't help but think so!In this way, the crystal skull is really more valuable for research.

"Mr. Fang, in order to save trouble, go to our Metropolitan Museum!" The person in charge suggested.
