Chapter 1980: The library in the Forbidden City
The lights in the exhibition hall were still dim, but everyone was extremely excited.
The Tang dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "A Picture of a Female History" has been fully unfolded and displayed in the nearly four-meter-long bullet-proof glass showcase, and the showcase has been locked.
The second and third parts of this famous painting were also unfolded successively by Ye Tian and his father, and they were displayed in two other bulletproof glass showcases.
They had just finished setting up the exhibition and locked up the bullet-proof glass showcases. The guys on the scene who were eager to stretch their necks immediately rushed to them, and instantly surrounded the three showcases.
Even the current owner of this famous painting, Ye Tian, was squeezed out by everyone and could only stand outside the crowd.
Next, everyone began to appreciate this famous painting from the ages, one by one, they were fascinated by it, and they kept talking and discussing in a low voice.
In a blink of an eye, twenty minutes have passed.
There were not few people in front of the three bullet-proof glass showcases, and everyone was still very enthusiastic, enjoying the priceless treasure displayed in the showcase.
However, there are still many things to do today, and obviously we can’t delay here for too long.
Seeing that it was almost time, Ye Tian said loudly:
"Everyone, old and young, should we leave here? The **** team parked outside the exhibition hall. There are still many priceless treasures in the team, waiting for us to go and settle."
Following his remarks, everyone at the scene awoke and turned to look at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian glanced at everyone, then smiled and continued:
"This morning, until 12 o'clock noon, the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "A Picture of a Female History" will be displayed in this exhibition hall. Those who have nothing to do can stay here and enjoy it.
During the appreciation process, everyone must remember one thing, don’t crowded, visit in an orderly manner, don’t take out your mobile phone to take pictures, if anyone does this, don’t blame us for rushing people on the spot.
By 12 noon, these three bullet-proof glass showcases will be covered. Next, we will renovate this place and create a separate exhibition hall to showcase this priceless treasure.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, to celebrate the Spring Festival and to celebrate the return of this treasure of the country, this "Picture of Female History Proverbs" will be officially on display until the 15th Lantern Festival of the first lunar month."
Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded one after another, without disagreement.
At this moment, most of the people in this exhibition hall are professionals. They naturally understand the meaning of Ye Tian's remarks and know that this is to protect this priceless treasure that is rare in the world.
Even Grandpa and Dad are now considered half professionals, and they have some knowledge of antique art collection.
"You're right, Ye Tian, we really should leave here to set up other priceless treasures, especially the more than 18,000 Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures. They must be sent to the constant temperature and humidity library as soon as possible to avoid accidents. "
Old Shan smiled and nodded and said, but his eyes showed a little bit of reluctance, and he kept looking at the "Picture of Female History Proverbs" in the showcase.
As soon as his voice fell, the other elders immediately echoed a few words.
In particular, several famous experts in Dunhuang Studies looked like they couldn't wait. I wish I could walk out of the exhibition hall immediately and immediately see the 18,000 volumes of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures. What a blessing it would be.
Next, Ye Tian discussed a few words with Lao Shan and the others, and then, Lao Shan and the others turned around and walked towards the entrance of the exhibition hall.
Ye Tian came to his grandpa and dad and said in a low voice to several family members:
"Grandpa, Dad, Second Uncle, just stay here and enjoy this priceless treasure. When noon, you should go home first. You should eat and rest.
I still have a lot to do. First go to the Forbidden City Bookstore to store the 18,000 volumes of Dunhuang Tibetan Scriptures, and some other rare ancient books, as well as other valuable paintings and calligraphy works.
After we are done, we have to go to Financial Street and store the other valuable antiques in several vaults. During this period, we must go through many necessary procedures.
When I finish everything, it is estimated that it will be late afternoon. By then, I will settle down the company's employees and those security personnel, and then I will go home and reunite with our family.
This time is running out of time, the top antique artworks brought back from London will not be shown to you for the time being. Let's enjoy it slowly when we are busy with this period! "
"Okay, Xiaotian, go do your business, let's stay here and take a good look at this "Picture of Female History Proverbs". I am very satisfied to see this famous painting from the past with my own eyes."
Grandpa smiled and patted Ye Tian on the shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation.
Immediately afterwards, Dad said again:
"Go ahead, Xiaotian, don't worry about us. Come back early in the evening. Your mother and the others have prepared a sumptuous dinner. Wait for your kid to come home. Remember to bring David and Jason home to eat together."
"Go! You say that, my halazi almost can't stop, I wish I could rush home immediately and eat a big meal that my mother made by myself. I want to kill me!"
Ye Tian joked and said with a look of yearning.
Next, Ye Tian chatted with these family members a few more words, then turned and left, leading David and the others to the entrance of the exhibition hall.
In a blink of an eye, more than half of the people in the exhibition hall had already left and followed Ye Tian and the others.
The remaining people, except for the staff and security personnel in the exhibition hall, and Ye Tian's family, are all top domestic collectors and antique art appraisal experts, all of whom are famous.
Why are they willing to leave this private exhibition hall? They all surrounded the three bullet-proof glass showcases, looking fascinated.
Soon, ten minutes passed.
In another part of the Forbidden City, Shan Lao personally led Ye Tian into a huge library, or a vault with constant temperature and humidity, and introduced him to the situation.
"Ye Tian, after receiving your call from London and knowing that you are about to bring back a large number of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures, we immediately vacated this library to store those priceless treasures.
From now on, this vault is yours to use. The access code of the vault and the internal and external monitoring system ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will be in your hands. No one else can enter without your permission.
The security level of this vault is very high and security measures are extremely strict. In addition to security personnel who patrol 24 hours a day, many high-tech security equipment are also installed.
Regardless of the antique, the ground part of this building is very sturdy. It is very thoughtful in terms of fireproofing, anti-theft, and waterproofing. The probability of accidents is extremely small,..."
At the same time that Shan Lao introduced the vault, Ye Tian had already turned on the perspective ability and secretly scanned the vault completely, without letting go of any corner.
As Shan Lao said, this vault is indeed excellent, with almost no loopholes. The temperature control equipment and humidity adjustment equipment are the best in the world today.
Undoubtedly, it couldn't be more appropriate to store those 18,000 volumes of Dunhuang Tibetan Scriptures and other top calligraphy and painting artworks here.
In fact, other valuable top antique cultural relics, such as the pair of Yuan blue and white standard ‘Da Weide Vase’, can also be stored here. The space here is completely sufficient and very safe.
However, eggs cannot be put in a basket. Ye Tian understands this truth better than anyone else.
After Shan Lao finished his introduction, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded and said:
"Lao Shan, I am very satisfied with this vault. Let's go through the relevant procedures. After the procedures are completed, we can move those top calligraphy, art and rare books into this vault!"
"Okay, Ye Tian, let's go through the formalities"
Old Shan nodded in response, and then led Ye Tian out of the vault.
