Chapter 853: notorious expedition

Although such a copybook fragment was written by Zhao Mengfu, the Qianlong Emperor did not like it, so this Weng Fanggang was able to collect the copybook fragment.し

After that, this copybook somehow fell into the hands of Kikujiro Takashima. This guy is very famous in Japan. He is the famous paper king in Japan before World War II.

His subsidiary Oji Paper is now one of the largest daily chemical companies in Japan. The Kao diapers that everyone is now familiar with are all products of this company.

Before this Takashima made his fortune, he worked as a crew member for a period of time and often went to China at that time. Later, when World War II broke out, he had become one of the top celebrities in Japan.

At that time, he had a very good relationship with several powerful people in the Wang puppet government. For example, Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai were his good friends, so from those guys, he bought a lot of good things to Japan.

Later, after World War II, after the establishment of the Tokyo National Museum, this guy donated a lot of good things to the Tokyo National Museum. It is said that there are more than 300 pieces, of which the most precious is the fragment of Zhao Mengfu's copybook.

But today, this fragment of Zhao Mengfu's copybook is about to go home, and he will never stay in the disgusting land of Japan, and let these Japanese **** blaspheme.

Jin Muchen put away the copybook and continued to move forward.

Then he collected a few ancient calligraphy copybooks from famous masters, and then he hurriedly ended his trip to the painting and calligraphy museum. Although there are still many good things left, his purple jade space capacity is really limited. Although he has these things in his heart Unwilling, I could only endure it and give up.

Because in this pavilion, there are still many things worth exploring and taking away.

Soon Jin Muchen stood in front of a bronze Buddha head. To be honest, the bronze Buddha head was the last time he stepped on the spot. He was very impressed.

Because of this bronze Buddha head, if not because of the introduction in the following short article, there is also the Dharma print on the forehead of this head. Jin Muchen really had a hard time believing that this would be a Buddha head, because this Buddha head was different from any Buddha head he had seen before.

The facial expression of this Buddha head looks very secular. There is still a circle of beard on the upper lip, and it is not the bald head of a monk who has been shaved. There is actually a Han-style bun on his head, but the part of the bun has been damaged and half of it is missing.

So if it wasn't for the brief introduction under the bronze Buddha's head and the Dharma seal pattern on his forehead, Jin Muchen would have thought that this was a bronze Buddha's head left by someone from the Han Dynasty.

As for why this bronze Buddha head is so strange, that is mainly because. The place of origin of this bronze Buddha head is Hotan City in the frontier province.

And this Buddha head is not only a copper Buddha head, he is a gold bronze Buddha head, that is, a gold-plated Buddha head, which can be seen from the ears of the copper Buddha head and the little gold paint on the temples Come out, this Buddha's head was over gold back then.

The most important thing is that this Buddha head is not actually produced in China, but from the third to fourth century in the park. Early Legacy Treasures of Central Asia.

At that time, Central Asia had not been dyed green by cults. At that time, beliefs on that land were relatively free. There were the Greek states left behind by Alexander the Great in his expedition, and they still believed in Zoroastrianism in the Khorasan region.

In the southern part of Central Asia, the belief in Buddhism came to India, and these areas were dyed green by cults, that was after the Turkish Sultan in the Middle East became stronger.

Moreover, the Mongols did a lot of disservice in their eastward expedition. They captured many slaves from the Middle East. These slaves played a big role in the spread of the Green Religion.

Even China's current little white cat. Almost all the evil species brought back by the Mongols after the Eastern Expedition at that time.

These people now occupy the northwest region of our country, including the ancient capital Chang'an generation. Almost all of them are quite large. It is a pity to think about it. The Kyoto area, which was left by the ancestors of our Han Empire, has now become a place where there are many people of the Green Cult. Thinking about it makes people feel infinitely emotional.

When you play the game of the Three Kingdoms, look at the fascinating place names in the northwest region, but now you look again, where it has almost become a private place for the descendants of the Green Cult.

Saying that would be a long way off. Now let’s take a look at this Buddha head. After reading this Buddha head that day, Jin Muchen went back and carefully checked the history of this style of Buddha head.

The reputation of a Buddha head like emotion is not small. It first appeared in Pakistan, and people who believed in Buddhism at that time had such a Buddha in their minds.

And they call such a Buddha's head as Gandhara!

And the reason why this head of Gandhara appeared in Japan is also due to the notorious Otani expedition who came to Japan!

The Otani expedition team in China and Japan can have almost worlds apart evaluations.

The Dagu expedition team has a very poor reputation in China for the simple reason that in the eyes of Chinese archaeologists, these guys are simply not worthy of the title of the expedition team.

They are a group of robbers, a group of shameless dealers of cultural relics, they have no right to explore China and grab treasures.

The crimes they committed in China back then were absolutely no worse than those of the beast soldiers who slaughtered ordinary Chinese people. They started from Japan and went to China to search for Chinese cultural relics in the name of scientific investigation.

As long as the cultural relics they find, almost all of them can't escape their poisonous hands, and if they can't remove them, they will be destroyed directly, and they will not be left to the Chinese.

Therefore, the crimes they have committed can definitely be said to be indescribable, even those now infamous Colonel Mojin, whose character is much stronger than them.

Of the so many Chinese cultural relics currently collected in Japan, I dare not say that half of them are, but at least 20 to 30 percent are taken from China by this notorious expedition team through various shameless means. Got it by arrogance.

So now Chinese archaeologists, if they know about this expedition, almost all of them hate them and grit their teeth, and even some young archaeologists, after knowing their evil deeds, want to come directly to Japan. The ancestral graves of these guys were dug up, and their bones were thrown into ashes.

In Japan, the Otani expedition team has a high reputation and is highly respected by those Japanese archaeologists. The reason is naturally very simple. These Japanese archaeologists are, to put it bluntly, the descendants of these robbers. For their robber grandfathers, what are they? can deny their exploits.

And if it weren't for their robber grandfathers, how could there be so many Chinese antique collections in Japan now?

So of course they must beautify these robbers in Japan, and do not allow anyone to sully their reputation. In this way, the crimes committed by the Dagu expedition in China were beautified into virtues. In the archaeological circle of Japan It's very reputable.

Regarding this Buddha’s head, it was also when the expedition team learned about the cultural relic dealers in Europe, Stein and Sven Hedin, who found a lot of good things in China’s borders and the Western Regions. After returning to Europe and making a fortune, They also moved their minds.

So during the Meiji period, the Otani expedition went to the frontiers of China and Central Asia three times, frantically collected local treasures, and used various shameless means to transport these treasures back to Japan, and sent them to Japan. The treasures are collected in the Tokyo National Museum and Ryugu University respectively.

During the Meiji period, it happened to be the era when Japan was advocating civilization In Japanese academic circles, all have a very good reputation.

And this Otani Guangrui is actually not an ordinary person. He is the eldest son of the suzerain of Nishi Honganji Temple in Kyoto. He has studied in Europe for a long time.

During his investigation in Europe, it was also during that time that he learned about the Buddhist relics found by Stein and others in Central Asia, and brought back many precious cultural relics to Europe and sold them to European museums, making a fortune. The news made him extremely excited.

Then he returned to Japan immediately~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After returning to China, he began to plan an expedition to Central Asia. Because of his Buddhist background, this also determined the main purpose of his expedition, which was to investigate the spread of Buddhism and Buddhist relics, so it is understandable why the collection of the Otani expedition at the Tokyo National Museum is related to Buddhism.

But the treasures placed in Ryugu University are completely different from those in the Tokyo National Museum. Those cultural relics are all treasures of various styles that the Dagu expedition team later collected from all over China.

The Dagu expedition brought back a lot of sculptures from the frontiers of China and Central Asia, but most of these were small works, and there were many damaged parts. Because the expedition was relatively small, they could not bring back too many complete murals and cultural relics. , Most of the murals they brought back were fragmentary, and it was they who robbed such murals everywhere that they destroyed many more murals than they found. It stinks for a reason.

Later, it was precisely because he realized the inadequacy of his team that Dagu raised funds several times to expand the team, and every time he successfully brought back a lot of cultural relics from China, he raised funds every time. They were all successful, so much so that his Dagu expedition became bigger and bigger, and in the end, it turned into a specialized cultural relics company. A lot of sorry for the Chinese people.
