Chapter 473 Important Chess Piece

The Chinese exhibition hall of the British Museum is Hall 33. This time the cultural relics were stolen not from this exhibition hall, but from the Chinese Ceramics Hall in Hall 95.

Logically speaking, Exhibition Hall 95 should be on the sixth floor, adjacent to the Japan Pavilion, but this exhibition hall is placed on the third floor. Go upstairs from the west staircase of the Grand Atrium, enter the Life and Death Pavilion, and pass by the black statue of Easter Island.

, go into a small door on the right, pass through the American Pavilion and enter the 2nd floor of the North Tower, which is the China Pavilion 33. It is often closed. Exhibition Hall 95 on the 3rd floor was blocked by Scotland Yard police due to theft.

The Anthropology Center is also on the second floor, and there are many Chinese faces on this floor.

Anthropology is an all-encompassing subject. It not only conducts a comprehensive study of human beings from a biological and cultural perspective, but also comparatively studies the cultures created by various human nations. The core concept of this subject is that culture is diverse and should be treated as different as possible.

Think about issues in a socio-cultural way and avoid harsh judgments.

For example, when it comes to the attitude towards death, China values ​​death as life. There will be a large number of burial objects in tombs, many of which were used by the tomb owner during his lifetime. Mexicans have the Day of the Dead to commemorate the dead.

Ancient Chinese civilization is a huge treasure house, but unfortunately these Chinese students do not know their own civilization very well. Many researchers ask them, but they themselves cannot answer.

Just when Pomona and Iris were about to leave, a girl caught Pomona's attention.

Other international students were dressed in a very British style, but she was wearing a very oriental white long skirt with a cross-collar collar. It looked very loose on the surface, but when she walked, her curves could be seen.

There is a gorgeous accessory hanging on the waist. When Pomona was studying ancient Chinese clothes, she had seen something similar. It was called the Forbidden Step. There was a string of pearls under the jade pendant. Every time the beads hit each other, they made a clear and sweet sound.

the sound of.

Although Qiu Zhang is the seeker of Ravenclaw, she is very quiet when she is not on the playing field. The girl in white in front of her has a similar temperament to her. There is no impetuousness, only tranquility. She smiles like Astonia.

She had two dimples at the corners of her mouth, and the noisy researchers and international student volunteers became quiet as soon as they saw her coming.

"She's so beautiful," Pomona said in admiration.

"Have you seen Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?" Iris asked.

"No," Pomona replied.

"It's a kung fu movie. I heard it's very exciting. It's different from Bruce Lee." Iris said perfunctorily, "I don't really understand the poetry and beauty of the East."

"Are you straight?" Pomona asked Iris again. The way he looked at the girl just now was straight like a normal man.

Iris smiled and shook his head, "There is a tradition of 'broken jade' in Eastern culture. During the Warring States Period in China, there was a story of a complete jade returned to Zhao. At that time, an envoy dedicated a piece of jade called He's Bi to the King of Qin because the King of Qin promised to use it.

The land was exchanged for the jade wall, but the Zhao people believed that it was a scam, so the envoy held up the He's Bi and threatened the King of Qin that he would break the He's Bi and that he himself would hit a pillar and die. The Chinese just said that they

The country does not have many nuclear weapons. It would be enough to destroy the world once. Do you think they will use them?"

"I don't know. China is no longer Manchu." Pomona looked back at the closed door of Hall 33. "These exhibits should be returned."

"I don't think so." Iris said, "A modern writer once said that it is really difficult to preserve public things in China. If the authorities are an amateur, they will destroy the things. If they are an expert, they will steal them all.

, I don’t know which private collector it will end up in if I send it back.”

"Oh." Pomona quickly gave up arguing with Iris about this issue.

Teachers who bring children to visit can explain the history while looking at the real objects. This is much more practical than private collectors enjoying it alone. The earliest Dream Tower in the British Museum is a private museum, and the collections inside are together with the house.

It was donated and became the National Museum.

"The Chinese man just now was not in a hurry to bring those exhibits back home. Is he a Chinese wizard?"

"I don't know. He is very mysterious. I haven't seen him use any magic, but he seems to know a lot of things."

"He seems to be willing to negotiate for peace because the United States also has nuclear weapons." Ayres said, "This style is not white at all."

The White Wizard's style is to save the world, just like Albus Dumbledore, even if he sacrifices himself for this.

What Zhang Tao did was forced by the situation. People will use all means to survive. If they don't agree to the Americans' conditions, they will use nuclear weapons to kill them all. Anyway, they can't survive.

China also has its own internal problems. There are also many people like Ma Youjuan who want revenge because of the humiliating past. In addition, not all the collections in the museum were robbed during the Eight-Power Allied Forces period, but were also sold by the Chinese themselves, mainly

Warlords robbed tombs to raise military expenses.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty destroyed a lot of things in Han culture, and it was very difficult to rebuild them. The materials that were lost overseas were more precious than pottery.

During the Middle Ages, there was also a catastrophe in civilization in the West, because the Arabs collected ancient Greek documents and stored them in the Library of Alexandria, which led to the later Renaissance.

Compared to silk and commodities, Westerners want Eastern knowledge more, and a powerful country will export its culture.

"He is an envoy." Pomona said while recalling the mural exhibition in the city hall. "You should go and see China's own mural exhibition. There is a picture of an envoy that is very shocking."

"What is it about?"

"Heraclius once sent envoys to Chang'an to borrow food from the Tang Empire and to discuss jointly dealing with the Arab Empire."

"I don't remember the Tang Empire doing anything to help Europe in history," Iris recalled.

"They also had problems at home. Within a few decades, the Anshi Rebellion broke out in the Tang Dynasty."

"I remember this. The libraries in Chang'an and Luoyang seemed to have been burned down. Why are libraries always burned down every time there is a war?"

"Because civilization and rationality have been forgotten, everyone only has barbarism and destruction in their minds." Pomona and Iris walked out of the Life and Death Hall and went down the stairs. "Where to go next? Egypt."

Pavilion?"

"How about going to the European Pavilion? It mainly displays exhibits from the medieval period." Iris suggested.

"Why not?" Pomona said listlessly.

"If the China Pavilion is open, we can go there through the north stairs, but now we can only go through the atrium." Iris said as he went downstairs, "That will take a long way around."

Pomona thought he meant something, but didn't answer.

Every country has truly smart people and smart fools. She is just a Hufflepuff fool, so she has no right to judge others.

I wonder if anyone noticed that Ron and Harry played wizard chess at Christmas. The chess pieces they used were from the Isle of Lewis, and Ron used the queen to swing up the chair and smash the knight into pieces.

Following the breadcrumbs as I write this, I can’t help but say that Europeans in the Middle Ages were very violent during Christmas and Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve, everyone drank and ate meat, and got into gang fights when they got drunk. Then there was “silent night”

, calling on everyone not to fight. As for the Christmas gifts that parents gave to their children, they were whipped and told to hide them under the bed to commemorate the fact that King Herod almost killed the baby Jesus. Hahaha, I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas (Evil Boss)
