I have a paradise

Chapter 460 Dunhuang Scriptures (3)

It cannot be denied that Zhang Xqian did make a great contribution to Dunhuang culture. For example, he sold all of his more than 200 famous paintings and then used the money to hire men and soldiers to explore Dunhuang culture. Not only that, but in the end he Also owed a debt of five thousand taels of gold.

But this does not mean that Zhang Xqian has done nothing. It can be said that he has no awareness of cultural relic protection. When he stripped off the murals, he saw the exquisite Tang dynasty murals. He also used the brush to paint the exquisite Tang dynasty. I wrote a line of calligraphy: "...found that there are Tang paintings in this complex wall. I have my son’s heart, and I will lead the painter...breaking three days of work, peeling off the outer layer, quite old, happy and admired, because the title is above The capital of Shu is very bearded."

What's the difference between this behavior and tourists who go to places of interest and historical sites and leave "XXX here for a tour"?The only difference is that Zhang Xqian is a cultural celebrity. There are many disciples and disciples Sun Wenren and Moke who have helped him to defend. And he spent three years in the Dunhuang Grottoes and destroyed at least 130 Dunhuang murals. Even now, Dunhuang Mo There are ink stains left by him on the walls of the cave.

Most of the people who defended him were from cultural backgrounds. To them, it looked like a famous painting. Then they wrote some inscriptions in the blank spaces of the painting. In their opinion, this kind of thing is very elegant. Yes, in the Republic of China, there were no specific requirements for the protection of cultural relics at that time. Perhaps they did not realize this, but now this behavior is completely destroying cultural relics and is a sinner of the nation.

And even in the 21st century, some people still come to defend him, do these people really do not understand the law?They don't understand, but pretend they don't. After all, you can never wake a person who pretends to be asleep.

This matter is actually very simple. Those people are just confuses the audience and engages in sophistry. You talk to them about the law, they tell you about culture, you tell them about culture, they tell you about art, you tell them about art, these people just Will play hooligans, this is a craft that those people have trained for thousands of years.

Do not entangle these people with them, just return to these few questions: Are the Dunhuang murals cultural relics?Did Zhang Xqian strip off the upper layers of the mural when he copied the mural?Has his behavior been authorized by the state?

The excuse of avoiding and not answering other things is pure sophistry.

Li Xingguo and several people checked all the Dunhuang scriptures, and then carefully put them on the table.

"These Dunhuang scrolls are all genuine products that have been separated overseas and can be called national treasures." Zhang Zhongwen said with emotion.

"Yes, when the country was weak at the beginning, those hungry wolves took the opportunity to plunder us, how many national treasures have been lost overseas, and Mr. Wang can bring these back to China. It is really a role model for my generation." Li Xingguo also said with emotion.

"When the two of you should not give such praise, I just can't bear these national treasures being separated overseas." Wang Yi said politely.

"There is also this Yongle Grand Ceremony, which is also a treasure of our country and history. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty Daxing writing prison, hundreds of thousands of books were burned and deleted. This cultural catastrophe can be said to be the largest in history. The contents of these books are recorded. , Which is completely opposite to the ones that have been circulated before, it is very helpful for us to study history." Wu Yushan took a few copies of Yongle Dadian and loved it.

"Haha, don't worry, you can study these books, Mr. Wu, at will." Wang Yi naturally heard what these people meant.

Originally, according to his contrary, these people were allowed to conduct research, and he also planned to donate these books directly to the Palace Museum.After all, these things are better for the country to study, and staying in his hands can only be nothing more than pretending to be forced.

"After reading the books, everyone, help me take a look at these things by the way." Wang Yi pointed to Tang Sancai and the bronze Shuangyangzun beside him.

"Of course you can. Come and see for Mr. Wang." Li Xingguo gathered around and started checking.

"Lao Zhang, you are an expert in porcelain appraisal, first see if this is true for Tang Sancai."

"No problem." Zhang Zhongwen took out a magnifying glass and carefully observed the pair of Tang San painted pottery immediately. After a long time, Zhang Lao straightened up.

"How is it?" Wang Yi asked.

"It is indeed genuine. This pair of Tang Sancai should have been fired in the middle of the Tang Dynasty. These two pieces have been buried in the ground for thousands of years. You can see that these soil erosions and soil rusts have completely bitten into the glaze. There are not a few hundred. For thousands of years, this kind of trace has not been caused at all. There are also the shapes of the two horses. The pottery horses of the Tang Dynasty were fired with well-proportioned bodies, fat and strong, which also represented the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty."

"Also, these glaze methods are also in line with the craftsmanship of the time. I can be sure that these two Tang Sancai pottery horses are indeed authentic products from the Tang Dynasty." Zhang Zhongwen touched the two pottery horses with a little love.

"It's really good. I spent a lot of money to buy this pair of Tang San painted pottery horses from a rich man in the lighthouse country. I plan to put them in my museum." Wang Yi said with a smile.

Zhang Zhongwen nodded, "This pair of Tang San painted pottery horses is indeed very good, not inferior to the collection in the Forbidden City, even in the Forbidden City Museum, it is considered a treasure."

"What about this bronze double-goat statue?" Wang Yi pointed to the heavy bronze vessel next to him.

"I'm not good at this, let Old Li come." Zhang Zhongwen shook his head and said.

Wang Yi looked at Li Xingguo.

"When I first saw this heavy bronze vessel, he thought it was an imitation." Li Xingguo squatted beside the bronze double sheep statue and said.

"Because, this bronze Double Goat statue also has one in the British Museum. I thought this bronze was an imitation of the bronze Double Goat statue, but I observed it again and it was not the case."

"This bronze double-eyed statue is a bit bigger than that one, and the rust on it, as well as the traces left by casting, indicate that it is not a modern imitation."

"This bronze ware should have been unearthed in the Yangtze River Basin. The decorations on the bronzes in the north are mostly gluttonous patterns. The representative of this is Si Muwu Ding. The gluttonous patterns and the dragon pattern on it are exquisite, while in the south it is more delicate. Lean towards sheep. As for the gluttonous pattern, it is more auxiliary, not important."

"Sheep was a kind of auspicious animal in ancient times. In ancient times,'sheep' communicated with'xiang','ji sheep' was also'auspicious', so the shape of rams was more realistic and vivid, and most of them were designed with three-dimensional animals. Yang Zun is one of the best. Looking at the connecting parts above, this casting process is typical of the Yangtze River basin." Li Xingguo pointed to this bronze ware and talked.
