Chapter 793 Sad tour
This Oriental Pavilion is a new exhibition hall opened by Japan in 1968. It mainly displays cultural relics from Egypt, West Asia, Southeast Asia, China, North Korea, and ancient China’s Western Regions.
At the beginning, I was still awkward. In fact, the origins of many exhibits are self-evident. They were all looted from China, North Korea and other places by the Japanese during World War II.
However, at that time, China was in a closed country, North Korea was not a climate, and South Korea was still looking up to Japan’s breath, and Japan at that time had already begun to take off.
Several other countries did not respond much to Japan’s actions, so Japan opened such a pavilion.
Later, they exhibited some of their trophies one after another. Although China, South Korea, and North Korea all asked Japan to return the cultural relics, the Japanese economy at that time can be said to be booming, and it was the most When you are brilliant, you will not be ignored at all.
Later, he simply had the cheeks and displayed it generously.
Especially in recent years, they are even more shameless, because the relationship with China is getting more and more tense, they simply become more and more shameless, and they keep showing the cultural relics that were stolen from China in the past. Trigger the Chinese people’s nerves.
Of course, our side is also not up to expectations, and we have never been able to get tough with the Japanese, we can only watch others’ provocations eagerly.
There are ten showrooms in this pavilion, five of which are dedicated to displaying Chinese cultural relics.
And these cultural relics can be said to make us Chinese blush when we see them, because there are many things that we do not own.
For example, stone tools and painted pottery from the prehistoric era of China, oracle bone inscriptions from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, bronze ware, pottery from the Han Dynasty, portrait stones, and Buddha statues from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Gold and silverware and Tang Sancai from the Tang Dynasty, porcelain from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, famous calligraphy and paintings, etc. There are many things that the Japanese have rated as their own national treasures. On the one hand, this kind of thing makes people laugh and cry, and on the other hand, it makes the Chinese feel extremely sad.
And the outside of the pavilion. There are also black gates, school warehouses, and other ancient buildings that the Japanese relocated from China as a whole, as well as sarcophagi, stone pillars, stone beasts, stone statues and so on that were dug out from the tombs of ancient Chinese celebrities.
When any Chinese see the treasures created by these ancient Chinese people, on the one hand, they will feel extremely proud, and on the other hand, they will feel extremely sad.
These are the treasures created by our ancient Chinese. But these things, which we do not have in China, are now appearing in Japan.
If these Japanese devils got them to Japan through legitimate channels, we still have nothing to say, but these things, but these Japanese devils, were forcibly plundered from our hands by means of war. . But any educated and conscientious Chinese will feel extremely uncomfortable when thinking about the past. and sad.
Standing in front of the door of this exhibition hall, Jin Muchen’s heart was not very good, but after finally taking a deep breath, he followed Belinda and Jesse into the exhibition hall.
Anyway, these things, in a few days. It’s all my own, so this time I have to tread very carefully, otherwise when I take action in a few days, if I accidentally make a mistake, I will regret it too late.
Entering the exhibition hall, Belinda and Jesse started from the beginning and looked at the collections. The first few exhibition halls mainly displayed exhibits from Egypt, or Southeast Asia, and West Asia.
To be honest, after going to the British Museum to sweep, these things on display at the Tokyo National Museum have not aroused Jin Muchen’s interest at all.
You must know that he is in the British Museum, but he has even seen the mummy of the oldest pharaoh in Egypt, not to mention the ancient Egyptian relics with scales and claws that the Japanese searched for?
These cultural relics are no longer in the eyes of Jin Muchen. To say that the British looted in Egypt, they were much more ruthless than the Japanese. At that time, the British were even more shameless than the Japanese back then.
It is no exaggeration to describe it as scratching the ground. They are blatantly robbing tombs in Egypt, and they are all in the name of archaeology and scientific research, but they have caused the tombs of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs.
Most of the treasures left by the ancient Egyptian royal family were looted by the British, and even if Japan collected some, they were nothing but scraps that the British did not despise.
Jin Muchen couldn’t despise these rubbish.
Next, the exhibits in the Southeast Asia pavilion were even more disgusting to Jin Muchen. In a place like Southeast Asia, before the European colonists invaded, the concept of a country and a nation had not even formed in that place.
Even if there are so many kingdoms established by sultans, they are basically similar to primitive tribes. How can such a place be famous?
In Southeast Asia, the only place that can have some historical background is India. It is a pity that the ancient cultural relics produced by India are almost all wrapped up by the British.
Even if the Japanese want to start, they have little chance.
Until World War II, the Japanese severely abused the British in Southeast Asia. When the British retreated, they still did not give up the good things they looted in Southeast Asia.
In the end, these things became the spoils of the Japanese, and after the war, the Japanese kept these things hidden and tucked away and did not return them to the British, and later became the exhibits in this exhibition hall.
Of course, because they are afraid of being pursued by the British, they are not very good things on display here. The top ones are nothing but the Buddha statues produced in Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand and other regions, but the quality is very average.
So these things are not good-looking, and Jin Muchen doesn’t intend to waste time on these things.
Soon he passed through this exhibition hall, and then went to the exhibition hall in West Asia, but like the previous exhibition hall in Egypt, the quality of the items in the exhibition hall in West Asia was also of average quality.
After all, that place was the sphere of influence of the British until the outbreak of World War II. Even if any good things were produced, they were all the spoils of the British. Even if the Japanese could **** a little, they were not the kind that were particularly high-grade.
Therefore, Jin Muchen also flashed past here, and went straight to the five exhibition halls in the back. The main cultural relics on display here are the cultural relics looted from China during the Japanese invasion of China.
This can be said to be one of the most essential areas of the Tokyo National Museum. You must know that many archaeologists have come to the Tokyo National Museum for research before.
But whether archaeologists from the West or the East, after visiting the Tokyo National Museum, they will say a word.
In the Tokyo National Museum, the most precious collections are only two things, one is Japanese antiques, and the other is Chinese antiques.
This shows the importance of Chinese antiques to the Tokyo National Museum.
The museum claims that they have collected more than 100,000 Chinese national treasures in total, but as long as anyone with a heart can estimate that, they will know that the Japanese must be humble, and the Chinese national treasures they collect must at least be the numbers they reported. five to ten times.
Moreover, although the number of Chinese cultural relics collected by the Tokyo National Museum does not seem to be much larger than that of some large and medium-sized museums in China, if we really want to count them by quality.
I am afraid that many people will come to a frustrating result, that is, most of the Chinese cultural relics collected by the Japanese are of higher quality than the cultural relics collected by Chinese museums.
This is the most unacceptable part of the Chinese archaeology community.
Even now, Chinese officials, due to some political and economic reasons, have always avoided mentioning the sad past in public, but these archaeologists have always been unwilling to forgive the Japanese in China back then. crimes committed.
After all, the Japanese stole too much from China!
Jin Muchen walked into the Chinese exhibition hall, and the first thing he entered was the exhibition hall displaying the painted pottery, stone statues, pottery and stone tools of Chinese prehistoric civilization.
Many things in this exhibition hall were unheard of by Jin Muchen, such as the painted pottery water jars from the prehistoric era.
Although it is not a good product, it is a relic that has been repaired, but traces of colorful patterns can indeed be seen on the jug, which surprised Jin Muchen.
You must know that China has a history recorded in historical materials for more than 3,000 years. The earliest is from Dayu’s water control~www.readmtl.com~ to the later Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.
Before that, our country was still in an era of ignorance, but at that time, we were already able to produce pottery pots with colorful patterns. Isn’t this shocking?
You must know that the Europeans at that time were nothing more than a group of apes who had just come down from the trees.
And at that time, we already have civilization, how can this not make people proud.
It is a pity that the cultural relics that can corroborate that period of history have been robbed by the Japanese and kept in their museums, which is really uncomfortable.
There are also pig-shaped jade shovels from the Liangzhu culture period, as well as the jade bi, the gods and beasts at that time, etc. Looking at these jade articles, Jin Muchen was silent for a while. If these things are put into China, they can all prove a historical era. Baby, Liangzhu Culture, it is a famous cultural site in the Taihu Lake period from 5300 to 4000 years ago.
But now in China, our own collections are very few, so we can only research the Hongshan culture, and rely on the famous origin of the Yellow River. This is not all forced by the Japanese. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
