golden escape

Standing in the museum square, President Yamada smiled and introduced to Fang You, "Fang Xiaoyou, I seem to have explained some knowledge to you on the way just now. The Dongdu National Museum is divided into four exhibition halls. The one directly opposite us It is the main building of the small island country, and on the left side of the main building is the Oriental Pavilion, where the cultural relics from China and other Asian countries are exhibited."

"The Treasure Hall of Horyuji Temple is located in the southeast corner, but it is only open every Thursday. I have no chance to see it today. The Memorial Hall to commemorate the marriage of the Crown Prince Jiaren is on the right side of the hall, surrounded by people from one left to the other. This building."

After the introduction, President Yamada smiled seeing that Fang You didn't express anything, "Fang Xiaoyou, according to what you just said, let's go to the main museum first to see the exquisite cultural relics of the small island country. What do you think?"

Fang You nodded slightly. As for the ancient culture of the small island country, his understanding was limited to Mr. Chu’s general explanation, and he only knew a few superficial facts. What kind of culture has created a psychologically distorted nation.

Facing their main building, its architectural style seems to imitate the construction of a temple. The eaves above are all made of bricks and tiles, showing a bit of simplicity, but combined with the Western-style walls, it gives people a very awkward feeling.

Fang You has discovered this since he came to the small island country. The ancient buildings in the small island country gave him such a feeling. They are not like the ancient Chinese buildings at all, and they are as friendly as courtyard houses.

Fang You shook his head, put these feelings out of his mind, then gently pulled Ye Yuqing's Rou Yi, followed President Yamada, and walked towards the exhibition hall.

Seeing Chairman Yamada, a somewhat obese middle-aged man greeted him. He had already received news that Chairman Yamada had entered the museum and asked them to do a good job in hospitality.

"President Yamada, you are welcome to visit the museum. I haven't seen you getting old for a while, but I see you again today. You are rejuvenated and young again." The obese middle-aged man walked to Yamada In front of the president, he bowed deeply and said respectfully, but from the words, it seemed that he had known President Yamada for a long time.

"You big fat Suzuki, don't flatter me. I'm here for nothing else. I'm just taking a casual tour. I'm not asking for the jade in your exhibition hall for research. Don't be so nervous." Chairman Yamada said with a smile.

This made Suzuki heave a sigh of relief. Usually, when the old man comes, he just borrows the precious jade in his exhibition hall for research. He borrows it for ten days and half a month. Moreover, most of the jade artifacts in the museum were identified by the old man. This made Suzuki feel helpless and fearful when he saw President Yamada. Thinking that maybe the old man could show some mercy.

Under Ye Yuqing's translation, Fang You understood their words, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly, it seems that the skill of flattering is common all over the world, judging from President Yamada's elated expression Look, I knew this fat man named Suzuki, and Chairman Yamada was very happy in the photo.

From the sign hung by the middle-aged fat man, although Fang You can't understand the words written by half-Chinese flies, he can also understand the meaning of the above with the help of the following English. This fat sycophant is a branch of the main museum. Long, named Suzuki Yuichi.

"Hehe, I can't hide anything from you, please tell me what you need, just ask." Suzuki Xiong showed a relaxed smile on his face, as long as he didn't borrow the jade from the exhibition hall, he could say anything.

President Yamada shook his head and smiled helplessly, pointing to this fat man who looked a bit naive and cute, "Suzuki-kun, I really can't do anything about you, help us find a better commentator, and then you can do whatever you want, Don't follow us."

"Hayi, President Yamada, your request is very simple, I will do it right away, and I promise to make you happy." Yuichi Suzuki smiled with a face that could hardly see his eyes, and looked curiously at the person behind President Yamada The two said, "President Yamada, I don't know if these two are..."

"Hehe, they are my friends, okay, don't ask so many questions, go to your business quickly." President Yamada said with a smile, without Fang You's permission, he didn't dare to take care of Fang You The identity is announced.

Suzuki Yuichi seemed to realize something, nodded to President Yamada, then smiled at Fang You, and led the three of them into the exhibition hall.

Then, he asked the three of them to wait at the door for a while, and in less than 5 minutes, he brought a beautiful-looking beauty commentator, wearing a uniform white shirt and black uniform, looking like a youthful white-collar aura rushing towards him.

"President Yamada, this is the best commentator here, with a gentle tone and a peaceful attitude, you will definitely be satisfied. Suzuko, this is President Yamada of our Jade Association. Please treat him well. Okay, old man, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Suzuki Yuichi led the commentator over, put down a word, and then ran away without a trace, as if staying beside Chairman Yamada made him feel a lot of pressure.

"Everyone, I am the commentator No. 003 of the main building, Hoshino Suzuko, please give me your advice." The beautiful commentator bowed slightly to several people, and said in a gentle tone.

Chairman Yamada looked at Suzuki Yuichi’s back with some annoyance, and finally heard the commentator’s gentle tone, he couldn’t help shaking his head and smiling, “Suzuko, give us a general explanation of some cultural relics that can represent the culture of the small island country, let this Two honored guests take a look."

Hoshino Suzuko smiled and made a gesture, "Okay, please follow me here."

A few of them followed Hoshino Suzuko to the exhibition hall of the museum. In the slightly dim light, only those exquisite cultural relics were shining, attracting everyone's attention.

The exhibition hall is very clean and simple. Except for the cultural relics in the tempered glass cover, there are no other superfluous things around, giving people a sense of comfort.

"Dear guests, this museum exhibits sculptures, dyeing and weaving, metalworking, weapons, swords, pottery, calligraphy and painting, architecture and other exhibits of the small island country according to the era, so that foreign tourists can appreciate and learn about the different cultures of the small island country in different periods. The appearance of art and people's life, the exhibition hall we are in, exhibits the sculptures and cultural relics of the small island country in the past dynasties. The one beside us is the standing statue of Tathagata, which is an old collection of Guangxing Temple. It was presented by Mr. Tianli in the 17th century For Guangxing Temple, the entire Tathagata statue looks solemn and simple..."

This beautiful narrator named Hoshino Suzuko is very talkative. In the exhibition hall of the museum, she points to an object representing the important culture of the small island country from time to time, explaining the knowledge contained in it to Fang You and the others.

"Guests, this is the calligraphy and painting exhibition hall of our main museum. Here we have the calligraphy and painting exhibits that best represent the cultural connotation of our small island country, especially this Xuezhou splashed ink landscape painting, which was made by Xuezhou, a famous painter in the history of the small island country. In 1467, he visited China by boat, visited famous mountains and great rivers, and sketched a lot, returned to China two years later, and opened a painting building, specializing in the creation of ink and landscape paintings."

"He traveled to many mountains and rivers in China, and felt the difference between China and the mountains and rivers of the small island country, and then developed the unique style of landscape paintings of the small island country." Hoshino Suzuki said softly, with a bit of respect in his tone.

President Yamada smiled, "Among the first-class painters in the ancient small island country, Sesshu was the only one who had been to China. Strictly speaking, without Chinese culture, there would be no Sesshu, and if he had not been to China, there would also be no Sesshu. .”

Fang You looked at it quietly. The landscapes on this scroll are completely different from those of Huaxia. Huaxia's landscape paintings have always been known for their tall and majestic mountains and prominent peaks. However, in this picture of the small island country, the mountains are short and weak, as if they are like small pieces. The stones are generally piled up, and it looks like a different feeling.

The mountains in the world have always been majestic and majestic to people. They are so small that they are no longer mountains, but stone piles. Fang You shook his head lightly. Perhaps this is the difference between the cultures of China and small island countries. The result is just like the height of Wu Dalang in the small island country.

This may be caused by the mountains and rivers of the small island country, Fang You smiled, with a unique style, just from these hills, one can know how narrow-minded the people of the small island country are.

In this museum, there are many things that are called national treasures by the small island country. The Sesshu splash-ink landscape painting is one, and there are more than ten national treasure-level cultural relics in total, such as the statues of the ten disciples, Fujiwara Buddhist paintings, Kano Yongde pine and cypress screens, etc. .

It's just that most of these cultural relics contain elements of Chinese culture, plus various so-called masters in the small island country processed them according to their own understanding, and some of the cultural relics produced may be called national treasures by the people of the small island country, but in Fang In You's opinion, apart from the long history, according to the artistic conception of the painting, it is not enough to be called a national treasure at all.

After reading this, Fang You seems to understand that because of the spread of these cultures, it is inevitable for the people of the small islands to be psychologically distorted, so they want to plunder Chinese cultural products in times of war to make up for their own shortcomings. It's just because of nature.

Finally, Fang You saw the calligraphy of Ono Michifu, which is called the most important treasure of the country by the people of the small island country. With his own delicate style, he and the other two calligraphers in the small island country are called Sanji. He is Noji, Fujiwara Sari is Saji, and Fujiwara Yuki is Quanji.

However, Fang You, who has seen Wang Xizhi's extension calligraphy, thinks that these handwritings emphasize the center too much, the handwriting lacks variation, and there is no natural and smooth feeling like Wang Xizhi's. Traces, this kind of calligraphy, may only be called a national treasure in a small island country.

"President Yamada, let's go to the Toyokan." Not interested in looking at other things, Fang You said to President Yamada calmly.

President Yamada nodded, and led Fang You out of the main building. Before going out, Fang You glanced back at the exhibition hall full of cultural relics, with a smile on his face.

It's not rude to come and go, Xiaodao people, you are destined to pay a heavy price for your mistakes.

"Fang Xiaoyou, after watching the historical relics of our small island country, how do you feel?" President Yamada said with a smile on the way to the Oriental Pavilion.

Fang You smiled softly, "I understand that what is the culture of a country, what will happen to the people that are born, the cultural relics of the small island country let me see a culture that is completely different from China, but these cultures It's a bit off."

President Yamada showed doubts on his face, "I would like to hear the details."

"You can feel the cultural relics here by taking them to the Oriental Pavilion and comparing them with the cultural relics of the same category," Fang You said with a smile.

Chairman Yamada shook his head and smiled indifferently. From his point of view, it is understandable that Fang You has a good eye for emerald wool, but when it comes to antiques and cultural relics, it is just his own rhetoric, which is not enough to be taken seriously.

Seeing President Yamada's appearance, Fang You smiled lightly, but didn't speak a word, saying that they have different ways, and they don't conspire with each other.

The Oriental Pavilion is not far from the left side of the main building. The pavilion is divided into three floors. The first floor exhibits cultural relics and unearthed relics from Southeast Asian and West Asian countries such as Egypt, India, and Pakistan.

The second floor can be said to be the Huaxia Museum. In the five exhibition halls on the entire second floor, all the cultural relics of Huaxia are exhibited, and there are many precious items that are extinct.

Entering the exhibition hall, Fang You didn't go to look at the exhibits below, but went straight to the second floor. If there are a large number of rare Chinese collections besides the collections in the National Museum of China, then it should be I went to look for them in the national museums that launched wars against China.

When stepping into the second floor, Ye Yuqing gently squeezed Fang You's hand, and looked at him worriedly. In Ye Yuqing's heart, she knew Fang You's character very well, and she was really worried that Fang You would see him. After seeing these cultural relics plundered by the small island country, I can't control my emotions.

"Hehe, Yuqing, don't worry, these things will be ours sooner or later." Fang You smiled, pulled Ye Yuqing, and strode into the exhibition hall.

Chairman Yamada behind him shook his head helplessly, not to mention through personal means, even through government means, it is impossible to return these cultural relics to China. In his opinion, this is Fang You's youthful heart , a little whimsical.

No matter how rich you are, it is impossible to buy these cultural relics back with money. Not only the people in the museum will not agree, even the government of the small island country and people from all walks of life will not agree, just because these cultural relics have been in the small island country for a long time, It is deeply branded with the brand of a small island country.

There are five exhibition halls on the second floor, four of which are Huaxia archeology, the last one is Huaxia Huaguo calligraphy, and the first exhibition hall exhibits early cultural relics unearthed from the Neolithic Age to the Han Dynasty.

A total of more than 100 years of exhibits, covering bone, stone, pottery, jade, bronze and other varieties.

The remaining three exhibition halls are the Huaxia Archaeological Porcelain Exhibition Hall, where almost all kinds of precious porcelain from the Three Kingdoms period to the Qing Dynasty can be seen here, with a total of more than 100 pieces.

The rest of the large number of Chinese cultural relics, reaching more than [-] pieces, are probably stored in the museum and have not been exhibited.

Among the porcelains are the celadon Shenting pots and celadon double-eared pots produced by the ancient Yuezhou kiln during the Three Kingdoms period, various yellow-glazed porcelains produced by the Changsha kiln in the Tang Dynasty, and a large number of Tang Sancai, especially several famous kiln porcelains in the Song Dynasty. can also be seen.

The people of Xiaodao people like white glaze, blue glaze and black glaze, which are simple in color and profound in artistic conception. These Song Dynasty porcelains just cater to their preferences.

In the Huaxia Pavilion, Fang You didn't skim over it like the Kodao Country Main Pavilion, but carefully watched every item on display.

In Fang You's eyes, each piece is beautiful and rare, but it is a pity that it has been reduced to a museum in another country, which is extremely distressing.

In the first exhibition hall, there are jade axes, jade walls, jade rings, jade ornaments and other jade artifacts from 5000 BC to 3000 BC, which Fang You loves very much.

The soft yellow jade ax is crystal clear and simple in shape, giving people a feeling of wanting to hold it in their hands and play with it.

There are also Taotie-patterned jade, dragon-patterned jade, jade dragon, jade fish, and jade bird from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, glazed elephant-inlaid jade, Kui dragon-patterned jade, etc. from the Warring States Period. Some of these jades are extremely rare in China.

Fang You shook his head and sighed. When the robbers came to your house, would they leave those valuables behind and pick out some rubbish? This is simply impossible.

In this exhibition hall, jade wares are only a small part of it. One can imagine how rampant the small island nation was in China at that time.

In the porcelain exhibition hall, Fang You looked at each piece of each piece, and he dismissed the commentators at all. In terms of ancient Chinese porcelain, he probably knew many times better than these commentators.

Porcelain and jade antiques have always been his most important categories. As for other aspects, Fang You has not let go of them, but seeing these earth antiques, his heart can't help feeling a little familiar.

Ding Kiln, Yaozhou Kiln, Guan Kiln, Yuezhou Kiln, Longquan Kiln, Cizhou Kiln, Jizhou Kiln, Jian Kiln, almost famous kiln mouth porcelain in Song Dynasty, can be seen here, when you see Jun Kiln indigo glaze wheel When the strange color of purple with dark blue, blue with white, and white with redness on the flower pot, Fang You seemed to have returned to the time when he just obtained the escape technique and found the fragments of the Jun kiln.

Jun kiln, one color in the kiln, multi-colored in the kiln, can be described as the magic of porcelain. Watching Jun kiln can lead people to infinite reverie, understand the realm in it, and make people feel happy. This can only be felt in Jun kiln. unique fun.

"Yuqing, I just entered the antique business. The first thing I found was this piece of Jun kiln. At that time, I mistakenly thought it was worthless. I just bought it because of the beautiful color on it. In the end, its value was It surprised me." Fang You smiled, and told Ye Yuqing about his experience back then.
