golden escape

The most important thing for exchanges and exchanges is to discuss and learn from two different cultures. The cultural differences between China and the West are very large, which is why we can do better exchanges. .

Wang Lao, these cultural relics scholars from China, did not expect that the staff of the Louvre could be so shameless as to exchange with them the cultural relics looted from China. This is simply an extremely bad behavior.

No one knows the cultural relics and culture of the Chinese people better than them. Of course, with the invasion of Western culture, some ordinary people in China have forgotten some of their own culture, and some foreigners have begun to study and accept Chinese culture. However, this does not mean that everyone in Huaxia has forgotten their own culture.

Famous Chinese cultural relics scholars like Mr. Wang are undoubtedly representatives of the deepest research on Chinese culture. These foreigners actually took out things that belonged to them to communicate with them.

Are they showing off the countless Chinese cultural relics they plundered, or are they preparing to laugh at the research on Chinese culture? People like myself are not as deep as them.

In any case, this is not a well-meaning gesture. Thinking of the previous reminder from the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, Mr. Wang couldn't help but sigh. He is a very pure lover of cultural relics. He just wants to deepen the cultural understanding between the two countries through exchanges. That's all, I don't want some political factors to be mixed in these exchange activities, but many things can't be carried out as he expected. Now, although he is angry in his heart, he is more disappointed. And disappointed.

Sure enough, there is such a kind of president, there is such a person. The previous French president's slick and versatile personality is still being ridiculed by the world. This president has just taken office. If he wants to change, I am afraid it will take Said for a while.

Seeing the Huaxia painting they put in front of them, Mr. Wang shook his head and sighed softly. They wanted to show off the looted treasure. They were in the wrong place. They wanted to show off their understanding of Chinese culture in front of their eyes. I got the wrong guy.

There are extremely many Chinese cultural relics lost overseas, and many of them have never been exhibited. Now, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage can only roughly calculate a vague number of cultural relics lost in China. As for the truly accurate number, or What these cultural relics are, cannot be counted.

Seeing that the Louvre brought out a fine Chinese painting, and began to introduce it with a decent appearance, some impulsive scholars of cultural relics immediately showed anger on their faces. They have all been in the antique world for most of their lives. , How can you not understand what the Louvre’s move means, it’s nothing more than trying to make them lose face, and even a few scholars want to stand up and argue with them.

Wang Lao just wanted to stop him, but he didn't expect that Fang You patted a few impulsive old men with his hands, and then he stood up himself. Fang You's action made Wang Lao a little deeply puzzled. Fang Xiaoyou's character should not be so impulsive, but why did he stand up and want to argue with them.

In other words, Fang Xiaoyou still has too little experience in participating in this kind of cultural relic exchange activities. If it were him, he would only use certain methods to make the show off that these French people wanted become embarrassing.

He was about to stop him, and when he stood up by himself, Fang You suddenly looked at him and nodded slightly. Elder Wang was a little puzzled. He looked at Fang You's face, and there was no anger on his face. It's just that the wind is calm, and to be able to have such an expression, it shouldn't be the appearance of being dazzled by anger. Could it be that what Fang Xiaoyou wants to do is not to argue with them, but to think of the method he thought of just now.

He has stayed in the Palace Museum for decades, and often goes abroad to participate in various activities. Faced with the provocative behavior of some foreign museums, they each have very suitable solutions.

Just as he was thinking about it, Fang You had that slight smile on his face, and then he walked around the scroll, asking the people from the Louvre to recount some information about the scroll, but Fang You did it one by one. Some of them mentioned the deficiencies in their materials, and even some information they never said at all.

Hearing Fang You's continuous words, the faces of the staff in the Louvre kept changing, while some cultural relics scholars in Huaxia's eyes lit up and laughed. They were only concerned with anger just now, and they didn't think Well, the best way to teach these show-offs a lesson is not to reason with them, but to dim their show-off.

Chinese cultural relics, no one can compare with the Chinese people's understanding of them, these French people just show off their cultural relics in front of the Chinese people, but they still want to show off their understanding of Chinese cultural relics and culture, this is simply Lubanmen Before picking an axe, apprentices compete with their ancestors, and they will lose face if they have nothing to do.

Next, Mr. Wang continued to take out the Huaxia painting scrolls, but the Louvre did not give up at all, and continued to take out the Huaxia paintings and calligraphy works in their collection.

There was no anger on Fang You's face, and he still had a faint smile on his face. No matter how perfect these French think they are, he can always find out their shortcomings, find out their mistakes, and tell what they didn't say. Although some cultures have been forgotten, Chinese people have never stopped learning ancient Chinese culture. The poems and songs in textbooks are undoubtedly the best medium to understand ancient culture.

Even foreigners who have studied Chinese culture for a long time, no native Chinese can have a deeper understanding of their own culture.

No matter what era the Chinese calligraphy and painting relics these French people brought out, no matter how specific they introduced each painting and calligraphy, Fang You found a huge deficiency in each painting, so that the staff of the Louvre, calmly His complexion could no longer be maintained.

The Huaxia cultural relics scholars who came here with Mr. Wang couldn't help but smile in amazement. When they were communicating in the Forbidden City in Tianjing before, they were a little surprised by Fang You's antique attainments. They didn't expect that Fang You's real level was not only in With the level of communication in the museum, Fang You must be modest when facing them, the older generation, but how could he be polite when facing these foreigners who are bullying their faces.

In the end, the person in charge of the Louvre couldn't bear it anymore. He originally wanted to take out these precious Chinese cultural relics to suppress the momentum of the Chinese people, and let them know that France, as the capital of art, possesses Chinese cultural relics. It is so precious, but he didn't expect to be ashamed and lost at home in the end. He couldn't help looking at the experts of the Louvre Museum who told them how much they knew about Chinese cultural relics. If he had the chance, he would really hit them hard These experts paused, and sure enough, it was a good saying in Huaxia. These days, everything is reliable, but the words of experts are not reliable.

At this time, an expert with very high attainments in calligraphy and painting came to the ear of the person in charge and said a few words softly. The person in charge looked at him suspiciously. After getting confirmation, he thought about it and clicked Nodding, he ordered his men to bring the cultural relic.

How can France, as the capital of art and the palace of art, be suppressed by the Chinese people? More than 100 years ago, the French entered China, but it was like entering their own back garden. Now, the glory of the French must not be let in Disappeared in his hands.

"Good friends from China, wait a moment, next, we will show you a rare painting collected in France. This work is also called a national treasure in France, and it will definitely make you come from afar My Chinese friends, it’s a feast for the eyes, and this trip is worthwhile." The person in charge of the Louvre can barely be regarded as a Huaxia hand, and at the end, he uttered two Chinese idioms.

Fang You and the cultural relics scholars sneered lightly. How could they not know the meaning of the obvious actions of the two just now? The next cultural relic may be very precious.

Sure enough, after waiting for a few minutes, a staff member of the Louvre walked over carefully pushing a small cart. On the small cart was an exquisite wooden box, which was more than one meter long and looked very Simple, but full of majesty.

Looking at the exquisiteness of this wooden box, Fang You knew that the items in this box should be very precious. Although he hadn't realized the wood escape technique and couldn't see through the wooden box, when the escape technique was launched, two red auras suddenly burst into the air. coming.

Of these two strands of aura, one belongs to the wooden box, and the other should be the items inside the box. Judging from the color of the aura, the wooden box and the items inside should both belong to the cultural relics of the Qing Dynasty. Judging from the concentration of the aura, The value and delicacy of the items in this box far exceed the exquisite wooden boxes used to hold them outside.

More than 100 years ago, the British and French allied forces burned, killed and looted the Old Summer Palace. The cultural relics in the Old Summer Palace were robbed by these robbers. Some of them could not be taken away, and they were even destroyed on the spot. In terms of calligraphy and painting, it can be stored in a box that is only one meter long. , and it is a cultural relic of the Qing Dynasty, which is worthy of these people's seriousness, and judging from the thickness of the box, Fang You has already thought of a cultural relic, which can be said to be very precious.

Although it is a cultural relic of the Qing Dynasty, its value far exceeds the treasures of calligraphy and painting from other dynasties. Fang You sighed. They brought this cultural relic, which undoubtedly set off their humiliating history in China.

The person in charge of the Louvre carefully picked up the box from the car and put it on the table, "Dear friends from China, what we want to present to you next is that it is stored in the National Library of my country. This treasure will not be exhibited to the public at all. The previous exchange groups from China have never had the opportunity to see it. This time, the Louvre specially borrowed this treasure from the library. Let all Chinese friends feast their eyes."

As he said that, the person in charge slowly opened the box with a smile on his face, and gently took out a set of things that looked like a picture book from the box, and put it on the table, "Dear Chinese friends, this treasure , is the silk version "Forty Scenes of the Old Summer Palace" jointly drawn by Shen Yuan and Tang Dai, court painters of the Qing Dynasty in China, and each picture is accompanied by a poem written by Emperor Qianlong at that time. It is divided into two volumes , it can be said to be the pinnacle of Chinese colored painting and meticulous painting. This time, the upper and lower volumes are here, and I will show them one by one and introduce them to all Chinese friends."

Looking at the upper and lower volumes of colored drawing books on silk in front of them, Wang Lao and the others expressed regret. The treasures of China are now in the hands of these clowns who are only showing off. It is a great shame and humiliation for everyone in China.

Fang You nodded with indifference on his face, just as he had guessed just now, this is the painted version of the Forty Scenes of Yuanmingyuan, drawn by Shen Yuan and Tang Dai, based on the real scene of Yuanmingyuan , Shen Yuan mainly painted pavilions, while Tang Dai mainly painted landscapes, trees and rocks. After 11 years, he finally succeeded. Wang Youdun, who is known as a great calligrapher, has achieved a perfect unity of poetry, calligraphy, and painting. It can be said to be the most accomplished meticulous painting in China.

What is even more sad is that after the Old Summer Palace was burned by the British and French allied forces, it became a ruin. In the next hundred years, the Chinese people could no longer know the real situation of the Old Summer Palace when it was intact.

Until the late 20s, when a Chinese from Anhui was roaming the European continent, he came across this set of colored books with forty views of the Old Summer Palace in the collection of the National Library of Paris, France. This picture is a sad history in the history of China's diplomatic architecture. Ordinary paintings and calligraphy are not of great significance at all. After many activities, he finally asked the owner of the museum for permission, and then used photography technology to photograph all of them. The Zhonghua Book Company used glass to print forty leaves of the Old Summer Palace, which were publicly distributed to the whole country in 1926.

However, due to the limitations of photographic technology at that time, these pictures were greatly reduced compared to the original pictures, and they were still in black and white. However, it was only with the help of these forty pictures that the Chinese people realized that it was now in ruins. The grand scenery of Yuanmingyuan in the past can be described as sad and deplorable.

If it is said that the other lost cultural relics in the Old Summer Palace will make the Chinese feel sorry for that period of history, but the forty scenes of the Old Summer Palace that are placed in front of them now allow them to face that period of history directly. A beautiful Chinese garden and palace has turned into a mess of ruins.

Now, these people from the Louvre have taken out the forty scenes of the Old Summer Palace. How can Wang Lao and others not understand their intentions, but they did not expect these people to be unscrupulous. It seems that they really took these from The cultural relics looted by Huaxia are completely regarded as their own.

Old Wang sighed. This exchange was full of gunpowder from the very beginning, and it is even more so now. Perhaps, the information received by the relevant state departments is accurate. The snake head whose whereabouts are unknown has been found and is ready to Putting it up for auction, it's no wonder that the staff of the Louvre will make such provocative behavior.

It seems that they really want to once again provoke the battle between the cultural relics of the two countries, and reproduce the scene of the auction that was so noisy a few years ago.

The auction was held during their exchange here. I am afraid that these people just want to see that even if people from the Chinese cultural relics circle are here, they cannot stop them from conducting the auction.

Mr. Wang shook his head, looked at the staff of the Louvre, and no longer had the peace in his eyes. Just as he was about to stand up and reprimand these people for their actions, Fang You, who was not far away, Stand up once.

"Old Wang, it's rare for these people from the Louvre to present this treasure of the Forty Views of the Old Summer Palace for us to feast our eyes on. This opportunity cannot be missed. Friends of the Louvre, since you said that just now, we will You're welcome, I must take a look at this treasure, so as not to disappoint your kindness." Fang You smiled, walked slowly to the person in charge and said.

Hearing Fang You's words, the person in charge of the Louvre couldn't help smiling, "Hehe, this young man really understands our intentions, very good, come on, let me introduce you to the forty scenes. Precious, every scene in it is very beautiful, the first one is upright..."

But before he finished introducing the first picture, Fang You directly interrupted him, "Pause for a moment, Mr. El, this is a Chinese cultural relic. We know our own things very well, and we don't need you to introduce them to us. , In addition, if you think that this Chinese treasure is acquired by you, you can understand the culture contained in it better than us Chinese people, I think, you are wrong, the profoundness of Chinese culture is far beyond what you can understand."

"Sir, you..."

"Hehe, you are a little bit unwilling, so can you tell us what the meaning of these forty scenes is? Upright and bright just means that the layout is correct, can you get sunshine? You are wrong, upright and bright means not only Architecture, as well as the style of being a person and doing things, is upright and aboveboard." "In addition to being upright, can you explain the names of the next 39 scenes to us completely, using the meaning that best suits our Chinese culture? Qin Positive relatives and virtuous people, Nine Continents invite Yan, engraving the moon and opening clouds, natural pictures, Bitong Academy, kind clouds and universal protection, up and down sky light...the names of these 39 scenes, and the poems given to each scene by Emperor Qianlong, you can completely Explain to us all the implications of it."

Fang You looked indifferently, looked at the person in charge without any emotion and said, when these Louvre officials took out the Chinese cultural relics, he fully understood the intentions of these people, and reasoned with these shameless robbers, the theory is It won't have any effect, it will only make them more proud.

Only by breaking their self-confidence and turning what they thought of as a show off into a deep embarrassment, only in this way can they not dare to show off their looted Chinese cultural relics in front of the Chinese people in the future.

The names used for the forty landscapes in the Old Summer Palace are all idioms or allusions that Chinese people are familiar with. With the research of these staff of the Louvre, how can they be completely understood.

Not to mention these names, there are also verses given to each landscape by Emperor Qianlong, the meaning of which is not fully understood by ordinary Chinese people. Where do these foreigners come from? It’s just that they have obtained these Chinese cultural relics. Do you think you know better than the Chinese people?
