Chapter 877: Butterfly Dream

Why do people celebrate birthdays?

First of all, you are born, which is quite an achievement, considering that many children who should have been born have not been born because of time travel. What's more, it was not your parents who gave birth to you, but the dead. It is already remarkable that they have the ability to have children after going through wars, plagues, natural disasters, famines, witch hunts and other anti-intellectual movements.

You are the lucky one out of 25 million sperm, beating out 24,999,999 competitors, plus those animals and plants eaten by humans, there is no It is already an outstanding achievement to be born as a human being, not as an animal such as a pig or a dog.

Secondly, you are still alive, and you are lucky enough not to die from a car accident, fire, or falling objects. You must know that the rebellion in 1310 was stopped by a woman with a flower pot. Punishment is rewarded instead. It is a very lucky thing that you can still sit down and eat cake while American soldiers are eating sand in the Middle East.

Again, you have a lot of food to choose from, which is the greatest happiness of living in a peaceful age. During the war, supplies are scarce. During the small ice age, the plants grow for a short time. When the volcano erupts, the volcanic ash will block the sun. Don't even think about fruits, let alone start a food war with cakes.

Just for these three things, it's worth celebrating, usually your parents, especially your mother, the bully Dudley will always be an angel in Petunia's eyes, and Harry is in that house He didn't feel much warmth, and luckily he had many friends at school, which Dudley didn't have.

The carrier of the male mental image is the mother first, and then other women who can arouse his feelings. Van Gogh had a serious Oedipus complex.

Anna van Gogh was a delightful woman and the wonderful mother of a painterly genius. Her passion for art influenced her son Van Gogh and supported his work throughout.

Anna was born in The Hague, where her father was known as the "Royal Binder". Willem Carpenters had a prosperous career, and when he was chosen to bind the first Dutch Constitution, he became famous throughout the country. Among his several daughters, one married Uncle Vincent Van Gogh; the third daughter married the famous Pastor Strick in Amsterdam, and they were all well-educated daughters.

When a man marries a wife, he will use his mother as his reference, because this woman will replace his mother as his image or the focus of his life.

Breaking away from his mother is a difficult problem. Van Gogh's mother is very good. With such a woman as a reference, he can't look down on ordinary women.

The problem with van Gogh was that he didn't have a woman who understood him by his side, and no woman was crazy enough to be with a man who hurt himself.

Picasso was more fortunate, he was very popular with women, but his works were really difficult to understand.

His paintings, like Van Gogh's, can be sold for sky-high prices, but most people don't have the eyesight to distinguish whether the oil paintings in their hands are genuine or fake.

The signature of painters and sculptors is a kind of "brand". Michelangelo has his own signature on the sculpture of "Lamentation of the Madonna" and Maria's clothes.

Michelangelo also painted the Madonna, but his Madonna was not as quiet as Raphael's.

There are so many women on the street, whoever is pleasing to the eye will use her image to draw. Michelangelo did not find his own Anima. He was famous for being violent during the Renaissance. Leonardo Da Vinci was a patient with severe procrastination, and he often went to do other things as soon as he was inspired. It was precisely because of his style that no one asked him for portraits in middle age. In order to make a living, he could only do heresy trials The Dominican Church painted The Last Supper.

The heresy is to fight against it, and a plate of grilled eel is placed on the dining table, satirizing the church for not following the rules. Michelangelo directly painted indescribable content when he painted the murals of the Sistine Chapel. The church added underwear to those characters for this purpose, and it was not added when Michelangelo was alive, but after he died After that, it was all because of Michelangelo's bad temper.

Artists have their own personalities. At that time, heresy was in full swing, and Michelangelo still dared to commit crimes. He was not happy to paint those praiseworthy things that the Pope asked him to paint.

But Michelangelo had an eccentric personality, and Pope Julius II was also a moody person. The two eccentric people got together, and life made Michelangelo bow his head.

But he was as sneaky as Jacob who herded Laban's sheep, and left his signature on the statue of the Madonna, which is essentially the same as XX's visit here.

"I, Michelangelo, have a bad temper and are not to be trifled with." - Michelangelo Buonarrotti.

The Madonna on that sculpture didn't cry, and the corners of her mouth even turned up a little.

When her son died, the mother would of course be very sad, but the Son died bravely, and she was proud of having a brave son.

Michelangelo would have been assigned to Gryffindor if he had worn the sorting hat.

There are two signed painters of a famous artist. Such works are called counterfeit works. Selling counterfeit works in auction houses not only smashes their own signs, but also leads to lawsuits. This is an international practice. If you do not follow this rule, you will not be able to enter the international market.

Tang Bohu's paintings are very famous, but she is more interested in Teng Pai's butterfly paintings.

This "Teng" is the Teng in the "Preface to the Pavilion of the King of Teng" in which "the sunset and the solitary bird fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky". King Teng is his title.

He was born in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, the prosperous age of the Tang Empire. As an aristocrat, he was very extravagant, and Teng Pai's butterfly paintings have always been the court painting school. The scales on butterfly wings are represented by Buddhist red and mud silver, colored with various precious gemstone powders, and five kinds of precious sandalwood, Shen, Yun, and Jiangxiang are used as pigments to make the butterfly paintings rich, luxurious and dazzling.

The Silk Road transported spices and pigments from all over the world to China. Tengpai butterfly paintings belong to the category of fine brushwork and heavy color paintings, which are different from freehand landscapes and thangkas. They do not express Buddhist themes, but purely secular paintings.

Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies, and butterflies dreamed of Zhuang Zhou.

Many people yearn for the golden powder dream of the Tang Empire, not only the Chinese, but also readers of Marco Polo. Turandot only describes the princesses of the Yuan Dynasty. How did the princesses of the Tang Empire live?

On the shelves, besides tea knives and birdcage utensils for unknown purposes, she also found a handicraft called "tea box".

Rosewood is a very rare tree. The most important thing is that it has no smell and will not spoil the tea cakes placed in it.

The furniture they "bought" just now had exquisite wood carvings, but this tea box did not have it, but instead it had a butterfly pattern painted in gold powder.

Just looking at the texture makes one feel—very expensive.

She suddenly felt that she needed a special box for tea.

She reluctantly put down the tea box, as well as her fantasies about Teng Pai butterflies.

Alchemy is the transformation of the soul, she can't have too much obsession with the material.

Turning brass into gold is a distant dream, but evolution is far better than the "degeneration" of gold into inferior brass.

It's a pity that there are so many treasures, but she is obsessed with the broken vases of Man Qing. She has always looked down on Man Qing and those servile officials.

Why did no one stand up to stop Cixi's embezzlement of naval military expenditures? Is it because she was frightened by the literary inquisition?

Compared with closing the country and shutting down the country, the tea baking technology is outflowing, India has become a competitor, and losing its monopoly trade status is more fatal, especially when so much compensation is required.

Those tea farmers just felt that they had not been treated well, so they betrayed the state secrets under the lure.

When Qian Xuesen brought back the US atomic bomb secrets, the Americans also swallowed their anger, but since then, it has been difficult for Chinese exchange scholars and students to get access to the core secrets.

So what about prosperity? It's just a dream.

Tang Chang'an is gone. To find the shadow of Tang Chang'an in the past, he would go to Kyoto and Nara in Japan. That country is really puzzling.

Which birthday was important to Jesus?

Is it Christmas or Easter?

It was Maria who knew his exact birthday. Women represent secrets, and it was not that simple to find out.

Self-healing...
