Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 473 Important Chess Pieces
The Chinese Exhibition Hall of the British Museum is Exhibition Hall 33. This time the cultural relics were stolen not from this exhibition hall, but from the Chinese Ceramics Museum in Exhibition Hall 95.
According to the theory, the exhibition hall No. 95 should be on the sixth floor, which is the neighbor of the Japan Pavilion, but this exhibition hall is placed on the third floor. Go upstairs from the west staircase of the large atrium, enter the Living and Death Hall, and pass the black statue of Easter Island. , go in a small door on the right, pass through the American Pavilion and enter the North Tower on the second floor, which is No. 33 China Pavilion. It is often closed. The No. 95 exhibition hall on the third floor was blocked by the Scotland Yard police because of 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 the perspective of biology and culture, but also studies the cultures created by different nations. Think about problems in a socio-cultural way and avoid harsh judgments.
For example, in terms of the attitude towards death, China pays attention to death as life. There will be a large number of funerary objects in the tomb, many of which were used by the owner of the tomb 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 are not very clear about their own civilization, many researchers asked them, but they themselves could not answer.
Just when Pomona and Iris were about to leave, a girl attracted Pomona's attention.
Other international students are dressed in British style, but she is wearing a very oriental white long skirt. The collar is cross-collared and looks loose on the surface, but her curves can be seen when she walks. There is a gorgeous accessory hanging on the waist. When Pomona was studying ancient Chinese clothes, Pomona had seen something similar. It was called forbidden step. There was a string of pearls under the jade pendant. Every time she took a step, the beads made a very crisp and pleasant sound when they hit each other. the sound of.
Although Qiu Zhang is Ravenclaw's Seeker, she looks very quiet when she is not on the field. The girl in white in front of her has a similar temperament to her. She is not impetuous, only quiet. She smiles like Astonia There were two dimples at the corners of her mouth when she got up, and those noisy researchers and international student volunteers fell silent when they saw her coming.
"She's so beautiful," Pomona admired.
"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 aesthetics of the East."
"Are you straight?" Pomona asked Iris again, the way he looked at the girl just now was straight like that of a normal man.
Iris smiled and shook his head, "There is a tradition of 'jade fragmentation' in Eastern culture. In the Warring States period in China, there was a story about returning a piece of jade to Zhao. The land was exchanged for the jade wall, but the Zhao people believed that it was a scam, so the envoy held up the Heshibi, threatening the king of Qin to smash the Heshibi, and he himself would hit the pillar and die. The Chinese just said that they The country does not have many nuclear weapons, and it is enough to destroy the world once, do you think they will use it?"
"I don't know, China is no longer Qing Dynasty." 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 said that public things in China are really not easy to preserve. If the authorities are laymen, they will destroy them; if they are experts, they will steal them all." , I don’t know which private collector it will fall into the hands of when I send it back.”
"Oh." Pomona quickly gave up arguing with Iris about this issue.
Those teachers who bring children to visit can explain the history while facing the real objects, which is much more practical than private collectors appreciating alone. The earliest dream tower ancient building in the British Museum is a private museum, and the collection inside is together with the house. It was donated and it became a national museum.
"The Chinese just now was not in a hurry to bring those exhibits back to China. 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."
"He seems to be willing to negotiate peace because there are nuclear weapons in the United States." Iris said, "This style is not white at all."
The White Wizard's style is to save the world, like Albus Dumbledore, even at the expense of himself.
Zhang Tao's approach was forced by the situation. People will use all means to survive. If they don't agree to the conditions of the Americans, they will use nuclear weapons to die together. Anyway, they will not survive.
China also has its own problems. There are not a few people like Ma Youxuan who want revenge because of the humiliating history in the past. In addition, not all the collections in the museum were robbed during the Eight-Power Allied Forces, but also sold by the Chinese themselves, mainly The proceeds of warlord robbery are to raise military expenses.
The Manchu Qing destroyed many things of Han culture, and it was very difficult to rebuild them. The materials lost overseas are more precious than pottery.
In the Middle Ages, there was also a catastrophe of civilization in the West, because the Arabs collected those ancient Greek documents and stored them in the Library of Alexandria, which led to the later Renaissance.
Compared with silk and commodities, what Westerners want more is the knowledge of the East, 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 to 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, borrowed food from the Tang Empire, and discussed the matter of uniting against the Arab Empire."
"I don't remember the Tang Empire helping Europe in any way in history," Iris recalls.
"They also have their own problems in the country. Within a few decades, the Anshi Rebellion broke out in the Tang Dynasty."
"I remember this. The libraries in Chang'an and Luoyang seem to have been burned. Why are libraries always burned in every war?"
"Because civilization and rationality have been forgotten, and only barbarism and destruction are left in everyone's mind." Pomona and Iris walked out of the Living and Death Museum and went down the stairs, "Where are we going next? Egypt Museum?"
"How about going to the European Pavilion? There are mainly exhibits from the Middle Ages." Iris suggested.
"Why not?" said Pomona listlessly.
"If the China Pavilion is open, we can go through the north staircase, but now we can only walk through the atrium." Iris said as he went downstairs, "It will take a long way to go around."
Pomona felt that he meant something, but did not answer.
There are really smart people and fools who pretend to be smart in every country, and she's just a Hufflepuff fool, so she's not qualified to judge others.
I don't know if anyone has noticed that Ron and Harry played wizard chess at Christmas. The chess pieces they used were the chess pieces from the Isle of Lewis, and Ron also smashed the knight with the queen's chair.
I wrote this along with the breadcrumbs, and I couldn’t help but say that medieval Europeans were very violent during Christmas and Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve, everyone drank and ate meat, got drunk and fought in groups, and then there was a "silent night" , calling on everyone not to fight. As for the Christmas gift that parents give their children, it is a whip, and the children are asked to hide under the bed, commemorating that Herod King almost killed the Holy Baby Jesus, hahaha, I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas (evil villain laughs)
