Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 473 Important chess pieces

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

According to reason, the 95th exhibition hall should be on the sixth floor, and the Japan Pavilion is the neighbor, but this exhibition hall is placed on the third floor, go upstairs from the west staircase of the large atrium, enter the survival and death hall, and pass the black statue of Easter Island. , Go to the small door on the right, pass the Americas Pavilion and enter the North Tower on the second floor of the China Pavilion at No. 33. It is often closed. Hall 95 on the third floor is blocked by the Scotland Yard police because of theft.

  Anthropology Center is also on the second floor. There are many Chinese faces on this floor.

Anthropology is an all-encompassing subject. It is not only a comprehensive study of human beings from the perspective of biology and culture, but also a comparative study of the cultures created by various human races. The core concept of this subject is that cultures are diverse and as diverse as possible. Think about problems in a social and cultural way to avoid rough judgments.

  For example, when it comes to the attitude towards death, China pays attention to death as a matter of fact. There will be a large number of funeral objects in tombs, many of which are used by the tomb owner before his life. Mexicans have the Day of the Dead to commemorate the death.

  The ancient Chinese civilization is a huge treasure house, but unfortunately these Chinese students are not very clear about their civilization. Many researchers ask them, but they can’t answer it themselves.

  Just when Pomona and Iris were about to leave, a girl attracted Pomona’s attention.

Other international students are wearing British style, but she is wearing a very oriental white long skirt. The collar is turned over and looks loose on the surface, but when she walks, she can see her curves. There is a gorgeous accessory hanging around her waist. Pomona saw something similar when she was studying ancient Chinese clothes. It was called a forbidden step. There was a string of pearls underneath the jade pendant. Every step of the way, the beads hit the ears and made them very crisp and sweet. the sound of.

Although Qiu Zhang is a Ravenclaw's seeker, she looks very quiet when she is not on the court. The girl in white in front of her has a similar temperament with her. There is no impetuousness, only quietness. She smiles like Astonia. There were two dimples at the corners of her mouth. The noisy researchers and international student volunteers became quiet as soon as they saw her.

   "She is so beautiful." Pomona exclaimed.

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

   "No." Pomona replied.

   "It was a Kung Fu movie. I heard it was wonderful. It was different from Bruce Lee." Iris said perfunctorily, "I don't understand the poetry and beauty of the East very much."

  "Are you straight?" Pomona asked Iris again. The eyes he had seen at the girl just now were the same as those of a normal man, and they were also straight.

Iris smiled and shook his head. "There is a tradition of'jade fragmentation' in Eastern culture. During the Warring States period, China had a story of returning to Zhao. At that time, an envoy dedicated a piece of jade named Heshibi to King Qin, because the King of Qin answered the application. The land was exchanged for the jade wall, but Zhao Guoren believed that it was a scam, so the envoy held He's Bi and threatened King Qin to smash He's Bi. He would also smashed to death. The Chinese said they were just now. 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 not Manchu Qing anymore." 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 Chinese public things are not easy to preserve. If the authorities are laymen, he will ruin the things. If they are experts, he will steal the things. , I don’t know which private collector it will fall into when I send it back."

   "Oh." Pomona quickly gave up on arguing with Iris.

Those teachers who take the children to visit can explain the history while explaining the actual objects. This is much more practical than private collectors who appreciate it alone. The earliest dream tower of the British Museum is a private museum. The collections and the house inside are together. It was donated and it became the National Museum.

   "The Chinese 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 seemed to be willing to negotiate because the United States had nuclear weapons." Iris said, "This style is not a wizard at all."

The style of the White Wizard is to save the world, just like Albus Dumbledore, even at the expense of himself.

  Zhang Tao’s approach is forced by the situation. In order to survive, people will do everything they can to survive. If they don’t agree to the conditions of the Americans, they will die with nuclear weapons. Anyway, they will not survive.

China also has its own problems. There are not a few people like Ma Youyan who want revenge because of the past humiliating history. In addition, the collections in the museum are not all looted during the Eight-Power Allied Forces, and they are sold by the Chinese themselves. The warlord’s tomb robbery was used to raise military expenses.

  Manchu Qing destroyed many things in Han culture, and it is very difficult to rebuild. The materials lost overseas are more precious than pottery.

  In the Middle Ages, the West also experienced civilizational catastrophes, because the Arabs collected those ancient Greek documents and stored them in the Alexandria Library, which led to the Renaissance.

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

   "He is an envoy." Pomona recalled the mural exhibition in the city hall and said, "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?"

   "Hiracleus once sent envoys to Chang'an to borrow food from the Tang Empire, and to discuss joint efforts against the Arab Empire."

   "I don't remember that the Tang Empire helped Europe in any way in history." Iris recalled.

  "They have their own problems in their own country. Within a few decades, the Tang Dynasty also broke out in the Anshi Rebellion."

   "I remember this. The libraries in Chang'an and Luoyang seem to have been burned too. Why are the libraries burned every time the war is over?"

"Because civilization and rationality have been forgotten, everyone's mind is nothing but barbarism and destruction." Pomona and Iris walked out of the Hall of Survival and Death and went down the stairs. "Where to go next? Egypt? Pavilion?"

  "How about going to the European Pavilion? There are mainly exhibits from the Middle Ages." Iris suggested.

   "Why not?" Pomona said listlessly.

   "If the China Pavilion is open, we can go through the north stairs. Now we can only walk through the atrium." Iris said as he went downstairs, "It would take a big circle."

   Pomona felt that he meant something, but did not answer.

  Every country has really smart people and self-made fools. She is just a Hefpaff fool, so she is not qualified to judge others.

  　 I don’t know if anyone noticed whether Ron and Harry played wizard chess on Christmas. The chess pieces they used were Lewis Isle chess pieces, and Ron also used the queen to lift a chair to smash the knight.

Writing here along the breadcrumbs, I can’t help but say that the Europeans in the Middle Ages were very violent on Christmas and Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve, everyone drank and ate meat, got drunk and fought, and then there was "silentnight". Call on everyone not to fight. As for the Christmas gift that parents give to their children, they are a whip, and the children are required to hide under the bed to commemorate Herod who almost killed the Infant Jesus. Hahaha, I hope you all have a merry Christmas (the evil villain laughs)
