Standing in the museum square, President Yamada smiled and introduced to Fang You, "Little friend Fang, I seem to have explained some knowledge to you on the way just now. The Tōto National Museum is divided into four exhibition halls. The one directly opposite us

It is the main building of the small island nation, and to the left of the main building is the Oriental Hall, where cultural relics from China and other Asian countries are on display."

"The Horyuji Treasure Museum is located in the southeast corner, but it is only open every Thursday. I didn't have a chance to see it today. The Celebration Hall to commemorate the marriage of Crown Prince Yoshihito is on the right side of the main building, one on the left and the other on the right.

This hotel."

After the introduction, President Yamada smiled when he saw that Fang You didn't say 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. Regarding the ancient culture of the small island country, his understanding was limited to Mr. Chu's general explanation. He only knew a little bit about it. Now he wanted to take a look at the cultural relics in this museum to see what they were.

What kind of culture has created a nation with psychological distortions.

Facing their main building, its architectural style seems to be imitating that of a temple. The eaves above are all made of bricks, 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 give him such a feeling. They are not at all as friendly as the ancient Chinese buildings, such as courtyards.

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

When they saw President Yamada, a somewhat obese middle-aged man came over. He had already received the news that President Yamada had entered the museum and asked them to do a good job of hosting.

"President Yamada, welcome to visit our museum. I haven't seen you grow old in a while, but I see you again today. You are glowing and young again." The obese middle-aged man walked to Yamada.

In front of the president, he bowed deeply and spoke respectfully, but from his words, it seemed that he had known President Yamada for a long time.

"You fat Suzuki guy, stop flattering me. I have nothing else to do here. I'm just visiting casually. I don't want you to do research on the jade in your exhibition hall, so don't be so nervous." President Yamada said with a smile.

This made Suzuki breathe a sigh of relief. Usually when the old man came, he would borrow the precious jades in his exhibition hall for research. The loan would last for ten days and a half. If he didn't borrow it, the identity of President Yamada would be there.

And most of the jade in this museum

The stone artifacts were identified through the hands of this old man. This made Suzuki feel helpless and fearful when he saw President Yamada. He had to say some kind words, flatter him, and get close to him, thinking that maybe he could make this old man

Be merciful.

Under Ye Yuqing's translation, Fang You understood their words. He couldn't help but be 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, you can tell that this fat guy named Suzuki made President Yamada very happy when he was photographed.

From the sign hung by this middle-aged fat man, although Fang You couldn't understand the half-Chinese words, he could understand the meaning with the help of the English below. This fat toady was a branch of the main museum.

His name is Suzuki Yuichi.

"Haha, I can't hide anything from you. If you need anything, just ask." Suzuki showed a relaxed smile. As long as he doesn't borrow the jade from the exhibition hall, he can talk about anything.

President Yamada shook his head and smiled helplessly, pointing at the fat man who looked a little naive, "Suzuki-kun, I really can't do anything to you, help us find a better commentator, and then you can do whatever you need to do.

Don't follow us."

"Hai, President Yamada, your request is very simple. I will handle it right away. I guarantee that you will always be happy." Suzuki Yuichi smiled with almost no eyes visible on his face, and looked curiously at the person behind President Yamada.

The two of them, "President Yamada, I don’t know who these two are..."

"Haha, they are my friends. Well, don't ask so many questions and go and do your business quickly." President Yamada said with a smile. Without Fang You's permission, he did not dare to take care of Fang You's family.

The identity is announced.

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

Then, he asked the three of them to wait at the door for a while. In less than five minutes, he brought a beautiful female commentator, wearing a uniform white shirt and black uniform, who looked like a young white-collar worker.

"President Yamada, this is the best commentator here. He has a gentle tone and a calm attitude. He will definitely satisfy you. Suzuko, this is President Yamada of our Jade Association. Please treat him well. Okay, old man,

I have something else to do, so I’m going to leave first.” Suzuki Yuichi brought the commentator over, said a word, and disappeared, as if staying next to President Yamada made him feel a lot of pressure.

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

President Yamada looked at Suzuki Yuichi's back angrily. Finally, when he heard the commentator's gentle tone, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "Suzuki, give us a brief explanation of some cultural relics that can represent the culture of the small island nation. Let this

Two distinguished guests, please take a look."

Hoshino Suzuko showed a smile on her face and made a gesture, "Okay, please come here with me."

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

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

"Dear guests, this museum exhibits sculptures, dyeing and weaving, metalworking, weapons, swords, ceramics, calligraphy and painting, architecture and other aspects of the small island country according to the era. It allows foreign tourists to appreciate and understand the different cultures of the small island country in various periods.

The face of art and people's lives

The exhibition hall we are in displays sculptural cultural relics from the past dynasties of the small island country. The standing statue of Tathagata next to us is an item in the old collection of Guangxing Temple. It was presented to Guangxing Temple by Mr. Busta Riki in the 17th century.

The entire Tathagata statue looks solemn and simple..."

The beautiful commentator named Hoshino Suzuko was very talkative. In the exhibition hall of the museum, she would point to an item representing the important culture of the small island country from time to time and explain the knowledge contained in it to Fang You and others.

"Dear guests, this is the calligraphy and painting exhibition hall of our main museum. Here we have our calligraphy and painting exhibits that best represent the cultural connotation of our small island country. In particular, this Sesshu splash-ink landscape painting was painted by Sesshu, a famous historical painter of the small island country. He In 1467, he visited China by boat, traveled to famous mountains and rivers, and sketched extensively. He returned to China two years later and opened a painting studio, specializing in ink landscape paintings."

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

Chairman Yamada smiled and said, "Among the first-class painters from the small island nation in ancient times, only Sesshu was the one who had been to China. Strictly speaking, without Chinese culture, there would be no Sesshu. If you had not been to China, there would be no Sesshu either. .”

Fang You looked at it quietly. The landscapes on this scroll were completely different from those of China. Chinese landscapes were always famous for their tall and majestic mountains, but in this picture of a small island country, the mountains were short and weak, as if they were like blocks. It is piled up like a pile of small stones, giving it a different look.

The mountains in the world have always given people nothing but majesty and majesty. Such small mountains are no longer mountains, but piles of rocks. Fang You shook his head gently. 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 this small island country.

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

In the main museum, there are many things that are called national treasures by the small island country, including the Sesshu splash-ink landscape painting, the statues of the ten major disciples, Fujiwara Buddhist paintings, Kano Eitoku pine and cypress screens, etc., there are a total of more than ten national treasure-level cultural relics. .

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

After reading this, Fang You seems to understand that due to the spread of these cultures, the psychological distortion of the people of the small island country is inevitable, so they want to plunder China's cultural products during the war to make up for their own shortcomings. This is It’s the nature of your mind.

Finally, Fang You saw the calligraphy of Ono Michikaze, who is regarded as a national treasure by the people of the island nation. Ono Michikaze was a calligrapher in the middle period of the Heian period of the island nation around 900 AD. His handwriting was based on the imitation of Wang Xizhi's and created Because of his own elegant style, he and two other calligraphers from the small island country are collectively called Sanji. He is Noji, Fujiwara Saori is Saji, and Fujiwara Yuki is Gonji.

However, in the opinion of Fang You, who has seen Wang Xizhi's calligraphy rubbings, these handwritings place too much emphasis on the center, lack of variety in the handwriting, and do not have the natural and smooth feeling of Wang Xizhi at all. Even if he has formed his own style, he cannot get rid of imitation. Traces, this kind of calligraphy may only be called a national treasure in a small island country.

"President Yamada, let's go to the Oriental Museum." Fang You said to President Yamada calmly, not interested in seeing anything else.

President Yamada nodded and took Fang You out of the museum. Before going out, Fang You looked back at the cultural relics in the exhibition hall with a smile on his face.

It's not polite to come back without reciprocating. Island people, you are destined to pay a heavy price for your mistakes.

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

Fang You smiled softly, "I understand that what a country's culture is like, what will happen to the people it creates? The cultural relics of the small island country let me see a culture that is completely different from China. However, these cultures

It’s a little off.”

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

"You can take the cultural relics here to the Oriental Museum and compare them with cultural relics of the same category," Fang You said with a smile.

President Yamada shook his head and smiled disapprovingly. In his opinion, it was understandable that Fang You had a good eye for jade wool, but when it came to antiques and cultural relics, it was just his own rhetoric, which was not enough to be taken seriously.

Seeing President Yamada's appearance, Fang You smiled softly and did not speak. They had different views and did not want to work together.

The Oriental Pavilion is not far from the left side of the main building. The exhibition hall is divided into three floors. The first floor displays 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 China Museum. In the five exhibition halls on the entire second floor, all Chinese cultural relics are on display, including many extinct precious items.

After entering the exhibition hall, Fang You did not go to look at the exhibits below, but went straight to the second floor. In addition to the collections in the National Museum of China, where are the other numerous rare collections of China?

I went to look for them in the museums of the countries that launched the war against China.

When stepping onto the second floor, Ye Yuqing squeezed Fang You's hand gently and looked at him with some worry. In Ye Yuqing's heart, she knew Fang You's character very well, and she was really worried about Fang You seeing him.

After seeing these cultural relics plundered by small island countries, I will not be able to control my emotions.

"Haha, Yuqing, there is no need to worry, these things will be ours sooner or later." Fang You smiled, pulled Ye Yuqing, and strode into the exhibition hall.

Behind him, President Yamada shook his head helplessly. Let alone through personal means, even through government means, it is impossible for these cultural relics to be returned to China. In his opinion, this is the character of young Fang You.

, somewhat 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, but 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 and have been

It is deeply marked as a small island country.

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

There are more than 100 years of exhibits on display, covering bone artifacts, stone artifacts, pottery, jade artifacts, bronze artifacts, etc.

The remaining three exhibition halls are the Chinese Archaeological Porcelain Exhibition Hall. 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 Chinese cultural relics, which are numerous and amount to more than 100,000 pieces, are probably stored in museums and not on display.

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

can also be seen.

The people of the small island country like white glaze, celadon glaze and black glaze porcelain with simple tones and profound artistic conception. These Song Dynasty porcelains just cater to their preferences.

In this Chinese exhibition hall, Fang You didn't just skip it like the small island country main hall, but carefully looked at every item on display.

In Fang You's opinion, every piece is beautiful and rare, but unfortunately, it has become an artifact in a museum in another country. This is really heartbreaking.

In the first exhibition hall, Fang You loved the jade axes, jade walls, jade rings, jade ornaments and other jade artifacts from 5000 BC to 3000 BC.

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.
