Wang Yu also got up early the next day and went to the restaurant to have breakfast. His goal was to see all the cultural relics from the remaining seven countries today.
Then he saw if he could go to the antique street again. He found that he now likes the antique street in the capital. Not to mention other things, he can indeed pick up things. Just these two times, he could make an ordinary person lie flat on his back.
After arriving at the restaurant, Wang Yu found He Feng, Xiao Lao and Li Laowei eating breakfast there. The three of them didn't know what they were talking about and smiled from time to time.
Grandpa Li, when did you come? Why didn't I see you yesterday? Wang Yu also hurried over to say hello to Mr. Li.
It's a shame that you are still thinking about me. You gave these two old guys good things last night, but they didn't belong to me, but they made me greedy. Mr. Li joked to Wang Yu.
"Look what you always said, I didn't know you were here. I'll go there again today and make sure I get you something that suits your needs." Wang Yu also knew that this was what Mr. Li said on purpose.
But he really wanted to go to the antique street today. If he really came across it, he would buy it directly. So that's what he said.
Hahaha, that's a good feeling. Come on, come on, sit down and eat, so Wang Yu went to the self-service area on one side to get some breakfast.
"You old guy, you are so shameless"
When Wang Yu went to get breakfast, Xiao Long laughed and scolded Mr. Li.
Well, I am willing, but if you are not convinced, just hold it in, haha. Faced with Mr. Xiao's squeeze, Mr. Li didn't take it to heart at all. This may be the way they will get along with each other for the rest of their lives.
After breakfast, the four of them went to the warehouse where they were yesterday. Mr. Xiao and He Feng took Mr. Li to see the cultural relics retrieved from the Japanese country that Wang Yu picked out yesterday.
Wang Yu began to use his clairvoyant eyes to observe the cultural relics retrieved from the Falcon Kingdom. According to records, at the beginning of the 20th century, when China's national power was weak, many cultural relics were smuggled and sold, and the cultural relics were lost overseas, which was very disturbing. Very sad.
Among them, Falcon Country is one of the countries with the largest collection of Chinese cultural relics. Almost all large museums in Falcon Country have Oriental galleries or dedicated Chinese cultural relics halls.
There are a total of sixteen museums. These museums collect precious cultural relics lost by China. Each piece shows the breadth, depth and brilliance of Chinese culture.
There were three golden periods in the history of Falcon Country's collection of Chinese cultural relics.
The first stage is from 1893 to 1919, the "Gilded Age" of Falcon Country;
The second stage was from 1920 to 1936, between World War I and World War II, the Jazz Age of Falcon Country;
The third stage was the Cold War period around 1945-1990.
In the first stage, the Falcon Kingdom's museums were gradually established and began to train their own curators of East Asian art. This coincided with the Revolution of 1911 in China.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, foreign countries built railways in China. Many ancient tombs and ancient ruins were plundered, and China's treasures were lost to the Falcon Country.
In the third stage, after World War II, the Falcon Nation became the world's financial hegemon. Collectors purchased and donated cultural relics in large quantities, and the Falcon Nation Museum accumulated Chinese cultural relics.
The Shang Xiaochen Xixi Zun (a symbol of Chinese bronzes), the Shang Mianzi Zun (the only one at home and abroad), the Shang Xiang Zun (the only Xiang Zun with a complete cover), and the Western Zhou Dynasty Kui Cicada Pattern Bronze Ban (the only complete set of bronze wine vessels) , Western Zhou Dynasty duck-shaped scorpions, and Northern Wei emperors' reliefs of worshiping Buddha (milestones in Chinese Buddhist statues).
The relief of the Queen of the Northern Wei Dynasty paying homage to Buddha (a treasure of Northern Wei sculptures), Tang Salu purple stone carving (the highest artistic value among the six horses), Tang Quan Maojun stone carving (an art treasure of the Tang Dynasty stone carving), Tang Yan Liben's "Pictures of Emperors of the Past Dynasties" (the highest artistic value among the early Tang Dynasty figure paintings) level).
Tang Zhangxuan's "Pounding and Lian Tu" (one of the representative paintings of ladies in the Tang Dynasty), Tang Zhoufang's "Two Lands" by Tang Zhou Fang, Tang Han Qian's "Zhao Ye Bai Tu" (an exquisite painting of horses in ancient China), Tang Dynasty colored sculptures supporting Bodhisattva statues (Tang Dynasty) Bodhisattva sculptures), Liaonanhai Guanyin wood carvings (the best-looking Buddha statues of the Liao Dynasty).
Cultural relics such as Qiao Zhongchang's "Hou Chibi Fu Tu" of the Northern Song Dynasty (a representative work of landscape paintings by early literati), Zhao Ji's "Five-Color Parrot Picture" of the Northern Song Dynasty (one of the representative works of Huizong of the Song Dynasty) and so on.
Some of them are even extinct in China and even the world, but they were snatched away by the Falcon Country and placed in its own national museum as a treasure.
When Wang Yu saw the one hundred boxes in Falcon Kingdom, all the items mentioned above were actually in the box, and there were even some other extinct things in it.
The Ru kiln wash of the Northern Song Dynasty (a rare treasure), the gold and gold lacquer wood carving Guanyin statue (a Buddhist treasure of the Jin Dynasty), the Yuan Dynasty "Medicine Master's Sutra Biantu" mural (an art treasure of the Yuan Dynasty), the Qianlong Orchid Pavilion of the Qing Dynasty Yushanzi (the second largest in the world) Dayushanzi).
Pictures of emperors paying homage to Buddha, gold-plated belt hooks inlaid with pearls, green Song stones and jade huangs, painted pottery tripods, celadon soul bottles, pictures of Five Hundred Arhats in the Bamboo Grove, Pinglin Jise Pictures, Nine Songs Calligraphy and Paintings, Wenji Pictures, Caoting Poetry Scroll, Nine Dragons Scroll, etc.
These well-known ones were all brought back this time. The only pity is that among the more than one hundred items this time, there are no remaining twelve zodiac signs.
This is Wang Yu's regret, but it is a good start to see so many extinct cultural relics return.
It is said that the remaining twelve zodiac signs were auctioned off by the major families in the Falcon Kingdom, so it is normal not to get one back this time.
After all, in the Falcon Country, the government sometimes cannot directly intervene in the affairs of major families. The Falcon Country is a world dominated by capital.
After finding 32 basically unique cultural relics in a row, Wang Yu was relieved. This was a good start. It seemed that he would seize any opportunity in the future.
Next, Wang Yu found nearly 400 unique or very significant cultural relics from several countries in Chengyude and marked them respectively.
Calculated in this way, the harvest this time is still very good, at least so many cultural relics can be returned.
After checking, Wang Yu looked at the time and saw that it was already close to noon, while Mr. Xiao, He Feng and others were still looking at the cultural relics retrieved from the Japanese country.
Especially Mr. Li, he looked like he was gnashing his teeth and wanted to tear the Japanese offal into pieces. I wish I had grown more arms and killed more animals.
Wang Yu, on the other hand, did not come forward to disturb him. After all, the things that came back were basically ordered by Xiao Lao, and everything had a specific list. They only needed to take the list.
Then they can be separated according to the boxes drawn by Wang Yu. This time it can be seen that none of these countries, including the Falcon Country, dare to mess around.
So Wang Yu turned around and walked out of the warehouse, went to the roadside to eat something, then took a taxi and headed towards the antique street you went to yesterday.
