Standing in front of this glass wall, looking at the paintings of ancient sages behind the glass.

To be honest, for Jin Muchen, who is an entry-level artist in Chinese painting, it is really difficult for him to see the beauty of these paintings. "The B grade, Jin Muchen really can't see it.

Even to put it bluntly, it is difficult for the level of these paintings to be as good as the paintings of modern elementary school students who specialize in art.

But considering that these words were painted more than a thousand years ago, and when Gu Kaizhi painted these paintings at that time, there were no models at all, and he created them out of thin air.

Moreover, in those days, Chinese painting did not incorporate the basis of Western figure sketching as it does now, nor did it have the high-fidelity photography and imaging technology as it does now. It is not easy for people to draw like this, at least At that time, this set of paintings could definitely be regarded as the top paintings that disdain Yu Nei.

Although these silk paintings are well maintained, they are inevitably broken due to the age.

Since its birth, this painting has been treasured by the nobles of the imperial palaces of all dynasties. Scholars of all dynasties have also attached great importance to the "Proverbs of Women's History". On the picture scroll in front of me, only the inscriptions and signatures of the palace nobles who have collected this picture in the past dynasties...⑩ Chang…⑩Wind…⑩Text…⑩Xue, w↓ww.c♀fwx.n←et occupies half of the page, and everyone who has a name on it has been famous.

The last collector of this painting was the famous Emperor Qianlong in Chinese history, who is said to have been obsessed with collecting all his life. But regard this picture as a favorite thing. Usually on his desk.

whenever I remember. I will unfold the scroll and take a good look. The last inscription on this painting belongs to him, and he also left his own inscription at the end of the painting.

However, after him, his descendants obviously showed little interest in this painting, so they directly collected the painting in the Yuanmingyuan.

Later, the Anglo-French coalition set fire to the Old Summer Palace, and of course the painting was taken away before. It is said that the person who started the attack was a British captain named Kiyong.

Since then, this painting has been in a state of unknown whereabouts. It was not until 1903 that the interview was re-examined and it fell into the hands of another British captain, John. Unfortunately, this illiterate person finally only needed two pounds to buy this painting. Sold to the British Museum.

It can be seen that such a precious top national treasure in China has been ruined by these white-skinned ghosts.

However, there are still some knowledgeable people in the British Museum. Since this painting was included, it has been regarded as a treasure of the town hall. From now on, it is no longer easy to show people.

Jin Muchen stood in front of the glass cabinet and sighed. Then he picked up the hammer in his hand.

The glass cover on the west wall, the British took a lot of thought, not using ordinary glass, but thicker plexiglass.

But it was probably because the iron gate outside could not easily be broken through from the outside, so they didn't use more secure bulletproof glass, thinking that thicker plexiglass would be enough.

But they didn't expect that such plexiglass can defend against ordinary people, but how can it defend against the hammer in Jin Muchen's hand?

Two hammers went down, and a crack finally appeared on the glass cover. The third hammer went down, and the glass cover finally disappeared.

And because it is plexiglass, this broken glass **** is not as destructive as ordinary glass slag, but turned into a piece of broken glass and fell to the ground.

Jin Muchen flipped the hammer in his hand, Nima, it seems that this robbery of the museum is really a hard work. With just a few strengths, he really can't smash the glass of their house.

After looking up at the magnificent work hanging on the wall, he smiled slightly and waved his hand. This masterpiece, which was hailed as the world's top art, was included in his purple jade space with a flash of purple light. .

Gu Kaizhi's "Proverbs from the History of Women" has already been included in the bag, but this Gu Kaizhi's painting is not the only one in Stein's secret room.

Jin Muchen turned his head to look, a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, hehe, I want to **** everything in this secret room, capture it, and clear it!

This Stein Chamber of Secrets, to the British, may be regarded as the pride of the British, but to the Chinese, it is indeed a shame.

Because in this secret room, almost all of the treasures are ancient silk paintings from China. In addition to Gu Kaizhi's "Women's History", there are more than 500 ancient Chinese silk paintings.

And these paintings were all smuggled to the UK by a British cultural relic dealer in the late Qing Dynasty, Stein, who was smuggled from China.

Later, he gave some of these ancient paintings and historical books to the British East India Company, which financed his "stealing treasures" in China, and now he stays in India.

As for the other part, he sold it to the British Museum. At that time, in order to satisfy the East India Company, he tore a lot of silk paintings in half to make up the number. This shows that the batch of national treasures had been abused by these foreign devils. to such a degree.

And the British Museum actually named the "Stein's Chamber of Secrets" in honor of this cultural relic dealer and his "contribution" to the museum.

It can be seen that these white-skinned bastards, obviously, they did not regard the filthy things that Stein did as a shameful thing, but regarded him as a kind of pride!

Fuck your grandma, I will make you no longer proud today!

Thinking of that humiliating history, Jin Muchen couldn't help but look ferocious and walked towards those collections with murderous aura.

This secret room is rectangular, three or four meters wide and more than ten meters long. On the west wall is the painting by Gu Kaizhi, while on the east wall is a long row of shelves. The ones on display are all the silk paintings that Stein brought back from China.

These silk paintings are also of great origin. They are silk paintings from Dunhuang. Such silk paintings are rare in Chinese history. So far, none of the museums in China has a collection of Dunhuang silk paintings. .

The two most complete collections of Dunhuang silk paintings in the world are the British Museum in England and the Palace of Fontainebleau in France.

Now that I think about it, it's so **** stupid that the historical and cultural relics created by my own country turned out to be exhibits in the homes of two robbers, and the people of my own country have no chance to witness it with their own eyes.

Thinking of these, there is only one word in Jin Muchen's heart that can express his current feelings, that is: grass!

These silk paintings were mainly created from the Tang Dynasty, when Buddhism prevailed. In addition to painting on the cave walls, Dunhuang painters also painted their beliefs and piety on plain silk. This tradition has continued. to the early Song Dynasty.

The paintings they painted on the silk cloth and some scriptures left at that time were stored in a grotto carved out of the Dunhuang rock wall. The grotto was named by the local monks as the Tibetan Scripture Cave!

Later, when the monks of the Dunhuang temple closed the scripture cave, these colorful and mature art treasures, documents, and scriptures were stacked in it.

In 1900, the Buddhist scriptures cave was discovered and opened by Taoist Wang, and most of the silk paintings of nearly a thousand years are well preserved.

Seven years later, Stein, an Englishman, was sponsored by the East India Company for the second time on an expedition to the Silk Road. While resting in Dunhuang, a teacher named Jiang told him about the Sutra Cave.

So Stein used 4 pieces of horseshoe silver and about 200 taels of silver to defraud 24 boxes of Dunhuang manuscripts, silk paintings and silk fabrics at a low price.

These items were taken out of the cave by Taoist Wang. Perhaps he was not satisfied with the price. When Taoist Wang took silk paintings, he was more attentive, and he specially picked those worn out and stuffed them into Stein. There were about 500 pieces in total.

But where did the Taoist Wang know that the more worn out those silk paintings were, the older they were and the more valuable they were.

It was later confirmed that most of the shabby silk paintings he gave Stein were from the Tang Dynasty and were the essence of Dunhuang silk paintings.

The remaining newer silk paintings were not able to stay in China. They were swept away by the French Pelliot and brought back to Paris. Most of those paintings were from the Five Dynasties and Northern Song Dynasties.

This is the origin of these Dunhuang silk paintings in Stein's secret room, but this Stein is a very jerk, and many of those silk paintings were torn in half by him and given to the East India Company for reckoning.

These silk paintings have been around for thousands of years, and they are very fragile. After tossing Stein so much~www.wuxiaspot.com~, when the rest of them are in the hands of the British Museum, they are basically in a state of riddled with holes.

At that time, the British Museum did not pay much attention to these silk paintings, so they were randomly locked in boxes and placed in Stein's Chamber of Secrets.

It was not until the 1950s, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, that I began to sort out the national treasures. Only then did I find that I didn't have any of the Dunhuang silk paintings in my country, and the Englishman knew only at this time that the silk paintings in his hands were painted on silk. importance.

So they paid attention to it immediately, and then began to find someone to mount it. Unfortunately, they didn't understand the mounting technology of Chinese silk paintings at all, so they actually mounted these silk paintings on kraft paper. Due to the elasticity of the silk itself, it was not stretched enough when pasting. Excessive use will cause irreparable damage to these silk paintings. As a result, they have tossed so much that many silk paintings have been damaged by then, such as deforming the faces and bodies of many Bodhisattvas, or directly damaging the silk paintings.

Thinking of this, Jin Muchen greeted all the eight generations of the ancestors of these white-skinned ghosts.

Now that Lao Tzu is here today, you don't want to keep any of these treasures. Grab it, kidnap it, and clear it. Lao Tzu will let you see it. Lao Tzu's three-light policy... (To be continued...)
