"Brother Mo, are you thinking about life again? It's time to get out of the car!" Tang Wenjun patted Cheng Mo on the shoulder, and Cheng Mo recovered from his endless reverie. He turned his head to look at the magnificent Louvre, The baroque buildings bathed in the morning light are dazzling and unbelievable, like a palace high in the clouds.

A spontaneous shock!
800 years of history traveled through.

If the feature of the Forbidden City is grandeur, then the Louvre is gorgeous and solemn.

Although it was only after eight o'clock in the morning, the glass pyramid at the entrance was already crowded with tourists.

Cheng Mo waited until the people in the carriage had almost left before stepping out of his seat and entering the aisle. Xie Minyun was sitting in the last row, so naturally he was the last one every time he got off the car, so the distance between the two people was not that far apart, just separated by two people .

In fact, according to Cheng Mo's habit, he should be the last to get off the bus, but because of Xie Minyun, he deliberately changed this habit.Although Xie Minyun came out to help Cheng Haoyang and Tang Wenjun that day, Cheng Mo still had no interaction with Xie Minyun, as if they didn't know each other very well.

A group of people walked through the square, because they took the museum pass, so they didn't need to line up at the entrance. Under the leadership of the tour guide Han Huan, they took the priority line and entered the inside of the pyramid directly, but they still had to wait for the security check at the entrance of the museum and then Enter.

The entire process of entering the museum took about an hour. If you don’t come early, it is commonplace to wait for a longer time during the peak tourist season in July and August.

Cheng Mo and Tang Wenjun's small group stood together, not because he wanted to do so, but because Tang Wenjun insisted on pulling Cheng Mo, the boys and girls were of course lively together, they were all chattering about the past few days anecdote.

"I feel that after coming to France, my English level has been greatly improved, and I have cultivated a strong self-confidence." Tang Wenjun said, looking at the beautiful big horse with a backpack on his side.

"Forget it! Just your suffocated spoken language!" Cheng Haoyang waved his hand to express his contempt.

"No matter how hard I hold my feet, I can't hold back enough to the French. Anyway, as soon as I open my mouth, I hear the other party say NO ENGLISH, and immediately my strong self-confidence comes up. I'm glad I didn't study English seriously. Anyway, I don't know much about it. Use." Tang Wenjun said with a smile on his face.

Everyone laughed lightly.

"You mean when you went to the store to buy souvenirs yesterday? But I saw that senior sister Xie communicated very well with the other party, and the other party was super enthusiastic about her, so it's not that the other party can't speak English, but your spoken English is too bad. The other party didn't understand at all, so I told you NO ENGLISH." Feng Leiting said with a smile covering her mouth.

"Damn! How is it possible? It must be because she judges people by their appearance and thinks that I am not good-looking. I just want to ask her where the foie gras is. I can speak such simple English badly? I am in Chinatown in the United States. A man who survived for a week" Tang Wenjun immediately retorted angrily.

Another burst of joyful laughter.

Cheng Mo knew why, because Xie Minyun spoke French to the other party, and he spoke authentic French.

A group of people talked and took the rolling elevator to the entrance and ticket office on the first basement floor of the Louvre. Under the guidance of Han Huan, they asked for a free Chinese guide map at the information desk. Cheng Mo did not take it, and had already done it. While doing his homework, he already had a clear plan in his mind.

Entering the museum, at the entrance you can lead to the three main exhibition areas of the Louvre, namely the Denon Pavilion, the Sully Pavilion and the Richelieu Pavilion.

In the morning, I followed the tour guide Han Huan for a rough walk. In the afternoon, I visited the Louvre Museum freely. Forty people huddled together and followed Han Huan at the beginning. They listened to the explanation carefully through the earphones. After visiting the Syrian Pavilion, they passed a section of ancient city wall ruins , I saw many famous sculptures such as Venus with Broken Arms and Diana of Versailles.

Everyone immediately became excited. They picked up their mobile phones and took pictures with their cameras. At this time, the order was a little chaotic. Many people lost their patience and felt bored, so they did not continue to listen to Han Huan's explanation.

To be honest, except for a small number of students who want to learn art in the future, most of the students who come to the summer camp come for sightseeing, and they don’t really want to have a deep understanding of art, not to mention that European art cannot be learned in more than ten days. Understand clearly.

Because of the arrival of a group of teenagers, the Jade Palace, which was originally quiet, became a little noisy. As the three major works of the Louvre, "Venus de Milo", "Victory", and "Mona Lisa", The Denon Hall has the largest number of people. Except for the blond foreigners, almost all of them are Asians. There are especially many Japanese students. They also come in groups, and some of them are copying with their portfolios.

After stealing from China, from the end of the [-]th century, generation after generation of Japanese artists turned from admiring China to Paris. When it comes to the pursuit of art, Japanese people are indeed more enthusiastic and tolerant than Chinese people. After all, Chinese people have just When you get rich, your pursuit of life and yourself is still more than money.

At present, the Huaxia student group is in stark contrast to the Japanese student group. Relatively speaking, the Japanese student group is not only disciplined, but also looks more solemn, and they are all listening carefully to the explanations of the leading teacher.

However, Cheng Mo and his group were basically out of shape. Looking at the lifelike nude statues and nude paintings, they were laughing and laughing. Several boys even took photos of sensitive parts with their mobile phones, and few of them were seriously appreciating them.

To be honest, they can't be blamed for this. For Huaxia, which only pays attention to exam-oriented education, the artistic accomplishment of high school students is basically zero.

Even rich people are the same, only a very small number of real red aristocrats like Xie Minyun and people from real intellectual families like Cheng Mo can understand art.

The disrespectful behavior of Cheng Mo's group naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the Japanese students who are also Asians. They looked at Cheng Mo's group with contempt and whispered, "It must be Chinese. Better than Koreans. If you don't have the quality, just look at their behavior and you will know that they are Chinese."

"Sure! Even Huaxia's own people say that Huaxia is a society with no legal system, low education, and many nouveau riche"

"It is said that their favorite thing to do is to engrave 'XXX came here' on the walls of tourist attractions. Didn't they say it in the news last time? A Chinese young man carved himself on the wall of a 3500-year-old temple name."

"Don't talk about Egypt, isn't the performance of the Chinese people in our country terrible?"

"Do they understand art? Don't they really think that as long as they have money, people from other countries will bow down to them?"

"Eh?? Why do you ask that? Do you think they look like they know art?"

At this time, the male teacher with big wavy hair who led the Japanese students also noticed that the students were discussing other things, and joked with the tour guide headset: "I guess the Huaxia students next door can't tell what egg tempera is. What is an oil painting, maybe you will think that "Diana of Versailles" is a sculpture of Queen Diana of England"

The Japanese students immediately covered their mouths and laughed very politely.

First he mocked the Huaxia people, and then the big wave man said proudly: "Look at those Huaxia students are wearing very bright and beautiful clothes. The so-called trendy brands they wear are all from our Japan. They will only follow the trend blindly. I don’t know what is art and what is beauty, so everyone should be more proud of being Japanese. You must know that our Japanese art has had a profound impact on European art. In 1867, at the Paris World Exposition, our Japanese The people showed a large number of ukiyo-e of the Utagawa school, which really shocked the Europeans and made their eyes shine. Ukiyo-e has aroused great interest from Western, especially French artists, and many French painters have appeared The upsurge of studying Japanese woodblock prints. At that time, Impressionist painters Manet, Degas and people in the literary circles often visited the 'Matam Dewey' art shop specializing in Japanese artworks, and edited some of them into special editions. Book, also set up a salon specializing in the study of Ukiyo-e art, even Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is imitated by Katsushika Hokusai's "The Great Wave off Kanagawa."

Although the big wave man didn't speak loudly, he transmitted his voice to the students' earphones through the headset, but the place to visit is so big, the two teams are actually very close to each other, these voices can of course be heard by Cheng Mo and the others, But in the whole team, only Cheng Mo, Xie Minyun and another two-dimensional boy could understand what these Japanese people were discussing and laughing at, and the others knew nothing about it.
Cheng Mo has no objection to the small-eyed male art teacher who compares them with patriotism education. After all, in China, Japanese people are also negative teaching materials. I often quote young people who like Japanese culture and use Japanese products. Although most of the comic books they read are pirated and most of the games they play are pirated, the Japanese products they use are produced in China. Yes, the Japanese action movies I watched were still pirated, and the money was made by Huaxia's own people, but I still couldn't escape being labeled as unpatriotic.

Cheng Mo is deeply aware that in China, the word "patriotism" has become a business, and it has become a means for some unscrupulous manufacturers to unscrupulously attack their competitors.
But these words are different to Xie Minyun's ears. She is a red nobleman with a strong root, a real successor and a master. She can criticize the bad things of this country by herself, but she cannot allow people from other countries to despise her. So Xie Minyun, who was slightly sullen, went straight from the periphery of the team to the group of Japanese students.

Wearing a beige dress and a small blue half-sleeve suit, the tall and graceful Xie Minyun immediately attracted the attention of the Japanese students. Even the big wave man forgot to speak, watching Xie Minyun's approaching figure stunned for a while
Xie Minyun walked up to the students today and bowed slightly, and said in fluent Japanese: "I'm very sorry to bother you."

The big wave man thought that Xie Minyun was from Japan, so he showed a gentle smile, "It's okay, what's the matter?"

Xie Minyun said blankly: "I think what you just said is quite shallow and ignorant. I am a Chinese, and I know very well that "Diana of Versailles" was created by the Greek sculptor Leochares, and it was completed around 325 BC. Diana in Roman mythology, corresponding to Artemis in Greek mythology, daughter of Zeus, goddess of hunting and moon goddess, one of the 12 main gods on Mount Olympus. He not only created this One piece, and many similar sculptures of Diana, but this one is the most famous."

Xie Minyun's words made Da Bo and his students fall into silence. They had no idea that there would be a Chinese who could speak Japanese next to him, and she was also a beautiful woman.

"In addition, the Japanese Ukiyo-e that you boasted can be said to have originated in China. You should know that woodblock printing is the basis for the birth of Ukiyo-e, and woodblock printing was invented by China. Secondly, the multi-color printing that promotes the development of Ukiyo-e Printing was also brought to Japan by our craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty. The early ukiyo-e had a single color. It was precisely because of the introduction of multi-color printing that the colors of ukiyo-e became more and more colorful, and appeared complex colors and shapes. Brocade-like 'Nishiki-e' also marks the heyday of ukiyo-e."

"Not only that, but the perspective effect of Ukiyo-e, the empty folds and texture effects of Nishiki-e are all very similar to our Chinese Suzhou Taohuawu New Year paintings."

Then Xie Minyun quoted scriptures and analyzed the relationship between Ukiyo-e and Suzhou Taohuawu New Year paintings very thoroughly, which made a group of Japanese students dumbfounded and shocked.

And the big wave man is even more speechless, his face is a little embarrassed, what Xie Minyun said is indeed the truth, even the Japanese themselves have to admit that their culture comes from China.

As for Cheng Mo's group, they were a little baffled and asked what happened. The tour guide Han Huan didn't understand, but seeing that Xie Minyun was only talking to a group of Japanese people in Japanese, he didn't stop him.

Two-dimensional who knows some Japanese, that is, the little fat man who sleeps in the same room as Cheng Mo, stammered to the people around him: "I don't understand the details, there are a lot of technical terms in it, all in all, It should be that Xie Minyun was dissatisfied with the Japanese who just laughed at us for not understanding and disrespecting art, so he went up and argued with them, saying that your Japanese ukiyo-e all originated in China, so what right do you have to force them.”

Hearing the little fat man's explanation, the people in the group were a little angry at first, but the other party was a Chinese feuding man!Later, I felt a little ashamed, and I was disrespectful in front of the Japanese!So they looked at Xie Minyun, who was saving face for the Chinese people, with admiration and admiration, although they had no idea what Xie Minyun was talking about.
Xie Minyun didn't know that she had become the focus of attention again, and even many foreigners were watching curiously. She said confidently and calmly in Japanese: "Whether Ukiyo-e originated from Huaxia Taohuawu New Year paintings, or from Huaxia woodblock paintings , paintings of ancient ladies and illustrations, it is recognized that the mainstream of Japanese painting comes from our Huaxia. It is undeniable that the influence of Chinese painting techniques on Ukiyo-e is decisive anyway, so when you say any derogatory words, please think about it Think about the essence of art, it is real, it is a mirror image, it is a projection, as an art teacher, you have to impart correct values ​​to your students, not by belittling other people's works, belittle others' shortcomings, or even belittle other people's country to gain a sense of superiority.”

After finishing speaking, Xie Minyun did not forget to add a very polite "Thank you."

The big wave man admired Xie Minyun from the shock at the beginning, so he also bowed to her, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for what I said just now, it was indeed a bit rude, but unfortunately, among the Chinese People who understand art like you are indeed a minority. The performance of your companion just now really embarrassed us who are also Asians. Huaxia was very powerful in the past, it was a country of clothes and etiquette, but now, you Huaxia People’s artistic accomplishment and personal qualities need to be improved urgently.”

"I'm in the minority?" Xie Minyun sneered, "Believe it or not, I can ask anyone to come out and explain to you what's so good about "Aphrodite of Milos" behind you? Let me introduce "Victory of Samothrace" to you. The historical story of "Goddess"? Discuss with you what is art, what is the responsibility of art, and what is the essence of art."

"Besides you, is there anyone else who can tell me this in Japanese??" Da Bo shook his head, expressing complete disbelief.

A group of Japanese students also whispered to each other, Xie Minyun is very good, they admit it, but they don't believe that a genius like Xie Minyun can be found easily, and they have to be a genius who can understand Japanese.

Xie Minyun said lightly: "Japanese? You can choose any language you want, French, English, German. Our Chinese treasures, outstanding people, and many people who are smarter and understand more than me." Then Xie Minyun turned to look at the hiding place Cheng Mo in the crowd said, "Hey! Now it's your turn."
