The History Museum, also known as the National Museum in the future, is a comprehensive museum covering an extremely large area.

Chu Jianghe and Zhao Shizong drove directly to the door under the leadership of the staff of the Overseas Chinese Federation.

The Overseas Chinese Federation had made an appointment with the museum early, and when they arrived, museum staff were already waiting at the door.

After a brief welcome ceremony, Zhao Shizong was polite to the museum staff and then officially started browsing.

Today's protagonist is Zhao Shizong, he takes the lead, and the others follow behind him.

Next to him was a young staff member from the History Museum named Xu Qinian.

He spoke fluent Beijing dialect and introduced the cultural relics one by one.

The exhibits in the history museum cover history and culture from ancient times to modern times, showing the 5000-year history of Chinese civilization and glorious history.

The collection is also extremely rich, covering bronzes, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and precious historical documents.

There were not many people visiting the history museum at this time. Chu Jianghe followed them leisurely and listened to the staff's professional explanations, which was eye-opening.

He has been to the History Museum a few times, mostly just for a quick tour, and has not taken a thorough tour yet.

How could the fast-paced life of later generations allow him to relax and listen to professional explanations, browse systematically, and at most stop for a moment in front of the cultural relics of interest.

Zhao Shizong came this time at Chu Jianghe's request, and he didn't take it seriously at first.

After seeing the Simuwu Ding and the Siyang Fangzun and other important artifacts from the country, and hearing the staff's professional explanations, he was now shocked by these cultural relics, and then looked very interested.

When encountering cultural relics of interest, I would also ask questions in my mind, and after hearing Xu Qinian's professional answers, I would express my heartfelt exclamation.

"I received a letter from the tide on the Qiantang River, and today I know who I am."

He came to Hong Kong Island when he was very young, received a British education, and had no deep feelings for the mainland.

His impression of the mainland has long been molded, and he heard many things from his father.

Now when he came to the history museum and saw exhibits covering all aspects of Chinese history and culture, and after having an in-depth understanding of that splendid civilization, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. This is a cultural identity that only the Chinese people have.

Hearing Zhao Shizong's exclamation, the staff of the Overseas Chinese Federation and the museum all smiled with satisfaction. Maintaining the feelings of the overseas Chinese is also the result of their work.

After visiting the bronze area and porcelain area, the group came to the calligraphy and painting area.

The History Museum has opened a special area to store ancient calligraphy and painting. Zhao Shizong himself is interested in calligraphy and painting. He became so excited when he arrived here that he didn't even bother to listen to the explanations of the staff.

He went straight to the Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting area and stopped in front of Tang Bohu's "Chai Men Covering the Snow".

Chu Jianghe knew that he loved Tang Bohu's paintings the most, and now that he saw Tang Bohu's original paintings, he naturally couldn't walk.

Seeing him like this, Xu Qinian said from the side: "Mr. Zhao, this picture of "Chaimen Covering Snow" depicts snow on the mountain stream, with a mill on the stream, pedestrians holding umbrellas at the foot of the mountain, thatched huts and wine shops on the roadside, and a lonely boat moored there. The shore. Throughout the painting, small axes are mostly used to crackle, dry and wet, to express the mountains, rocks and snow scenes."

Zhao Shizong stared at the painting in front of him, and after admiring it for a while, he sighed: "The brushwork is neat and delicate, and the coloring is elegant and delicate. But from my perspective, this painting is similar to Gao Keming's "" of the Northern Song Dynasty" hidden in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. "Snow Covered Streams and Mountains" is similar to Xia Gui's "Landscapes" of the Southern Song Dynasty."

Hearing Zhao Shizong mention the National Palace Museum in Taipei, Xu Qinian smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to respond. He was just a staff member and didn't know how to evaluate it.

But he could tell that Mr. Zhao was a person who knew how to paint.

The museum staff on the side heard what Zhao Shizong said and had an idea in mind. While Zhao Shizong was admiring the paintings, he quietly pulled over Xu Qinian and said: "Xiao Xu, in my opinion, this Mr. Zhao from Hong Kong Island is a person who loves painting. Man, our museum has just established a service department, and there are many paintings and calligraphy for sale. Why don't you ask Mr. Zhao if he has any intention?"

Xu Qinian hesitated: "Is this appropriate?"

"You can just ask around the corner. If it works, it can also solve our funding problem."

After Xu Qinian hesitated for a while, he nodded: "Okay, I'll give it a try."

"Okay, you go first, I'll talk to my colleagues in the service department first."

After saying this, the man hurried away.

Zhao Shizong was immersed in Tang Bohu's paintings and didn't pay attention, but Chu Jianghe was watching the movements of the two people clearly.

Although he didn't hear what the two people said, looking at their eyes, he clearly had his mind set on Zhao Shizong who was standing aside.

Chu Jianghe thought to himself, could his plan really work?

Zhao Shizong admired it for a long time and was shocked by Tang Bohu's painting skills. He said: "It is said that Tang Yin is good at painting secret dramas, but if you ask me, Tang Yin's landscapes are also unique. The artistic conception in them is difficult for ordinary people to grasp, and it is impossible to say that he is miraculous. It’s too much.”

Xu Qinian took the opportunity to interject: "Calligraphy and painting were strong for a while in the Song Dynasty, and then declined. It was not until the Tang Yin period that painting and calligraphy flourished again."

Zhao Shizong nodded and agreed: "That's right."

Xu Qinian said: "There are many other paintings and calligraphy in the museum. Mr. Zhao, let me introduce them to you."

As he said this, he was about to lead Zhao Shizong to go elsewhere, but Zhao Shizong waved his hand: "I'm a little tired after walking around for such a long time. Let's take a rest first and talk about it later."

Xu Qinian was a little disappointed, but since today's protagonist was Mr. Zhao, he had no choice but to listen to Zhao Shizong's opinion.

Several people came to a rest area. Xu Qinian did not give up yet. During the break, he continued to introduce famous paintings in the museum to Zhao Shizong. Zhao Shizong nodded from time to time while listening.

Seeing that Zhao Shizong didn't seem to be disgusted, Xu Qinian sighed consciously or unconsciously: "In fact, there are many paintings by masters in our country, but because our country's calligraphy and painting market has not yet formed, they have been lost among the people. It is really a pity."

Zhao Shizong did not have any special reaction and said: "The formation of the calligraphy and painting market requires people's appreciation ability and the economic ability of the market. When the time is right, development will naturally occur. This cannot be achieved in a hurry."

When Chu Jianghe heard what Xu Qinian said, he became excited: "Actually, Mr. Zhao has been committed to collecting paintings and calligraphy. In addition to ancient famous artists, he is also very interested in modern excellent works."

Zhao Shizong glanced at Chu Jianghe with some surprise. It was true that he liked Tang Bohu's paintings, but he had no research on modern calligraphy and painting.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw Chu Jianghe wink at him.

Zhao Shizong was a smart man. When he saw Chu Jianghe's eyes, he immediately understood and said, "Yes, it's just because there is no suitable opportunity."

Xu Qinian's face lit up and he said hurriedly: "What a coincidence, Mr. Zhao, our library is selling a batch of paintings and calligraphy recently. If you are interested, you can go and take a look.
