I have a paradise

"I always keep things for you."

"Haha, I can't wait." Li Xingguo said.

"Let me introduce these to you."

"Zhang Zhongwen, a cultural relics expert and a researcher at the Palace Museum, has deep knowledge in the identification and restoration of porcelain paintings and calligraphy. The last time you came to the Forbidden City, he was invited to France.

Gu Jingchang, Dunhuang cultural researcher, expert on ancient painting and calligraphy restoration.

Wu Yushan, a researcher at the Palace Museum, has made great achievements in the research and protection of miscellaneous and ancient books."

The three of them are in their 50s and 60s, and Wu Yushan is also fifty a little younger. The three of them greeted Wang Yi, and they greeted them for a while.

Li Xingguo couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Wang, can we appreciate the baby you brought back this time?"

"Of course, very welcome." Wang Yi nodded.

"Please come with me." Wang Yi took everyone back to the villa.

Bringing a few people to the study room of the villa, the things he brought back from abroad were already placed in it.In the 20-square-meter room, there is a mahogany square table in the middle. Several books are placed on it. On the mahogany floor next to it, there are a pair of painted pottery horses. The most attractive thing is the bronze double sheep statue.

The bookshelf in the back is full of books, just to see how new the books are. Obviously the owner hasn't turned it over. On the walls are a few calligraphy and paintings for the occasion. The whole room looks antique.

After seeing the exquisite bronze ware, several people walked over quickly.

"Mr. Chen, you brought this back from abroad?" Li Xingguo said as he looked at the exquisitely crafted bronze double sheep statue in front of him.

"Yes, I bought it in Lighthouse Country. This bronze Double Sheep Statue, this pair of Tang Sancai, and these 41 volumes of Dunhuang scrolls, these four Yongle Dadians are all."

"Dunhuang scrolls!"

"Yongle Grand Ceremony!"

Hearing Wang Yi's words, several people who were watching the bronze Double Yang Zun exclaimed.

A few of them are experts in calligraphy and painting. They only dabble in bronze wares. They heard that there are Dunhuang scrolls and Yongle Dadian. They didn't care about this bronze ware one by one. They all went to read the scrolls.

"Mr. Wang, can you get started?" Gu Jingchang looked at Wang Yi and said.

"Just be careful." Wang Yi nodded and said.

Gu Jingchang took out a pair of white gloves from her pocket, put them on her hand, and then carefully picked up a roll of withered yellow surface.Li Xingguo, Zhang Zhongwen, and Wu Yushan also put on gloves one after another, picked up these scrolls and looked carefully.

"The fibers on this paper and the craftsmanship are completely the same as the craftsmanship of the late Tang Dynasty, and these ink marks are exactly the same as those collected by the Dunhuang Art Museum. There is no doubt that this is a genuine product."

"Genuine, rare treasure!"

"There is also the reign title of the fifth year of Jianzhong. In fact, the reign title of Jianzhong took only two years, but in the Western Regions because the road was cut off and news was blocked, they did not know that the national title had been changed. This batch of scrolls is indeed It's genuine!"

Looking at the 41 Dunhuang scrolls in front of them, several people were full of emotion, especially Gu Jingchang. As a researcher of Dunhuang culture, he was deeply moved by these. When these Dunhuang scriptures were discovered, at that time The Qing government didn’t pay much attention. After the so-called explorers had visited several times, the Dunhuang ancient scrolls, which were close to 50,000 volumes, were left with less than 8,000 volumes, and these 8,000 volumes were basically ordinary. The scriptures, the really high-value ancient scrolls have long been packed and taken away.

After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the state invested funds to study Dunhuang culture. But at that time, the Dunhuang scrolls and even many murals were collected by foreign museums or private collections. When we study the culture of our own country, we actually need to ask outsiders to get them. Some picture materials.

It can be said that those Dunhuang cultural researchers have worked hard to sort out the Dunhuang culture.

In addition to the Dunhuang ancient scrolls, there are also a large number of Dunhuang murals that were directly glued away by so-called explorers with chemical tape, and the relics that have been circulating for thousands of years have been severely damaged.These damaged murals were not only done by foreigners, but also by warlords, but also by literati and guest.

Among them, the most famous is the price dealer Zhang Xqian of the Republic of China. This is a master of Chinese painting, but his work is not very good.He has studied Shi Tao and Bada Shanren's calligraphy and calligraphy very deeply, often imitating the paintings of several people, almost to the point of being fake, and then forging the paintings of these people for sale.

In China, there is a tradition of taboos for the venerable, that is, the superior cannot have any shortcomings, he cannot do these nasty things, so many people have made up some legends about his fraudulent behavior, such as using fake paintings to deceive warlords and deceive The Japanese, regardless of whether these stories are true or false, are to help him clean up.

In addition to these fraudulent acts, another act is hostile to the cultural relics, and that is the Dunhuang frescoes.

After the Dunhuang frescoes were discovered, they caused a huge sensation, but the Qing government had no money at the time and didn't care much. So these cultural relics were stolen and destroyed. After 1938, the Chang Shenkai government finally allocated funds to protect these cultural relics and relics. At that time, Zhang Xqian was one of the dominant players.

Because many murals are seriously damaged and need to be rescued and protected, these people organized manpower to file and number each cave and copy the damaged murals.Originally this was a good thing, but Zhang Xqian did something here.

He invited Yu Youren and Ma Chengxiang, the commander of the 5th Cavalry Division at the time, to visit the Dunhuang Grottoes. In one of the caves, he saw vague paintings on the lower layer of the mottled murals, so he said to Youren:'There must be paintings on the lower layer.'Then Ma Chengxiang directly ordered his subordinates to hit the damaged mural on the upper layer with a stone. The outer layer of the mural fell off and the previous layer of painting appeared inside.

There are actually several layers of Dunhuang frescoes, one layer on top of each other. After discovering that there were previous frescoes underneath, Zhang Xqian began to talk about peeling off the Song Dynasty frescoes on the first layer. After peeling off the Song Dynasty frescoes, what was leaked at this time It was the frescoes of the Tang Dynasty, but after looking at the frescoes of the Tang Dynasty, he peeled off the second level of the frescoes of the Tang Dynasty to expose the lowest level of the frescoes of the Wei and Jin Dynasty.

These lower-level murals have been in the wall for hundreds of thousands of years and are still well preserved. However, once the upper-level murals are peeled off and the murals are exposed to the air, these colorful murals will be oxidized in a few years. A group of dark things.

Just like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang back then, these terracotta warriors and horses were colored when they were first discovered, and they were very beautiful. However, because of the limited technology at the time, those colors quickly oxidized after being exposed to the air in just a few minutes, and then disappeared. Without a trace, this was one of the reasons why the excavation of the terracotta warriors was stopped.
