Chapter 2006: i am Chinese too
The applause fell slightly, and the voice of the host of the donation ceremony came out again and reached the ears of everyone at the scene.
"After returning to Beijing, Mr. Ye opened the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures to experts and scholars studying Dunhuang studies in China. As long as the application and permission are obtained, these experts and scholars can see the relevant Buddhist scriptures.
For domestic Dunhuang studies, Mr. Ye’s move is of great significance. It will certainly greatly promote Dunhuang studies and allow us to better understand our country’s civilization and history.
Just two days ago, Mr. Ye Tian proposed that a batch of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures could be donated to the National Library in order to expand the collection of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures in the National Library and better promote the study of Dunhuang Studies.
Upon receiving the news, led by the Ministry of Culture, the National Library of the United Nations and the Dunhuang Research Institute, immediately contacted Mr. Ye to discuss matters related to the donation of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures to facilitate this cultural event.
After discussion, Mr. Ye decided to donate 5,000 volumes of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures, and donate them all to the National Library of China to enrich the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures collection of the National Library and open it to all relevant researchers.
These five thousand volumes of Dunhuang Tibetan scriptures were once collected in the Stein Chamber of the British Museum. Chinese scholars of Dunhuang Studies almost never saw them. They are of great research value. Each volume is considered a priceless treasure.
However, they have returned to China today. They have become the collections of the National Library of China by Mr. Ye Tian. At this moment, they are placed in this grand hall for ancestor worship! "
As he said, the host of the donation ceremony raised his hands to the boxes beside the rostrum, his tone was quite agitated, even a little impassioned.
No surprise, there was another round of applause, deafening.
Even the foreign reporters of the international media stationed in Beijing, perhaps very reluctant or even a little bit sour, had to applaud at this time to applaud Ye Tian's generosity.
While applauding enthusiastically, everyone on the scene turned their heads to look at the boxes beside the podium.
Except for some foreign reporters, the eyes of all the Chinese media reporters were extremely hot and everyone was very excited.
As for the experts, scholars, antique art appraisal experts, and many cultural and cultural personnel who were also on the scene, they were even more excited, and it was difficult for themselves.
"Wow! Donate five thousand volumes of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures that are priceless in one go. This handwriting is too big and shocking! Is this the greedy and greedy Ye Tian in the legend? You guys are almost missing you!"
"Five thousand Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures! I am probably reluctant to be another person. It seems that we must get to know Ye Tian again. He really doesn't stop talking!"
Before the applause fell, there was a sound of discussion on the scene, which became extremely noisy.
At the same time, almost all the media reporters in the audience became busy, and the news was posted as soon as possible, and the pictures and videos of the scene were also posted.
In a blink of an eye, this blockbuster news appeared on the homepages of major domestic portal websites, firmly occupying the front page headlines, and directly grabbing the limelight of the Spring Festival Gala reports.
Not only portal websites, other Chinese news media, social networks, and even people’s WeChat Moments, etc., were also completely detonated by this heavy news.
Almost all the Chinese who saw this news were shocked, and they were completely shocked by Ye Tian's great work.
Immediately afterwards, applause sounded from all over the country, covering almost every corner of the land of China, and everyone's applause was extremely warm.
And this storm quickly spread to foreign countries, causing quite a stir in the field of antique art collection, as well as in Europe and the United States.
Especially in London, England and the British Museum. When those British people heard this news, they were shocked and bitter.
Back to the main hall of Taimiao in the Forbidden City, the donation ceremony continued.
After the applause and discussion fell slightly, the host of the donation ceremony immediately took the topic just now and started to introduce the general situation of the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures.
Of course, the person who knows these Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures best is Ye Tian himself.
After the host of the donation ceremony introduced a few words, he raised his hand to Ye Tian and asked him to introduce the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures.
Ye Tian naturally did his part, and immediately began his performance.
"Everyone knows that the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures that were once collected in the British Museum were bought by British Stein from Dunhuang more than a hundred years ago. To be precise, they should have been deceived. They spent no more than 14 horseshoe silver.
It is the discoverer of the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures, Wang Yuanlu, a royal Taoist who sold this batch of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures. In the history of Chinese culture, this ignorant royal Taoist can be called a famous national sinner.
Stein sent these Dunhuang scriptures back to the United Kingdom and donated them to the British Museum. For more than 100 years, they have been kept in the Stein Chamber in the Chinese Pavilion of the British Museum.
In this batch of Dunhuang Tibetan scriptures, most of them are Chinese classics, and there are also many manuscripts and classics in other languages, such as Uighur, Tubo, Sanskrit, etc., which are the best historical materials for studying the history of these peoples..."
Next, Ye Tian began to introduce the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures in detail.
While introducing him, the large-screen TV erected on the side of the rostrum is also simultaneously playing relevant pictures and video materials, showing those invaluable Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures.
However, the number of these Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures is so huge that it is obviously impossible to introduce them all.
Ye Tian could only select more than a dozen representative scrolls and scriptures from among them, and introduce them. Other Tibetan scriptures can only be mentioned in one sentence.
Even so, after he finished introducing these dozen volumes of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures, ten minutes had passed.
Next, the director of the National Library and the director of Dunhuang Research Institute performed again.
Both of them thanked Ye Tian for his generosity, and affirmed the great value of this batch of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures, as well as the tremendous influence they have brought to the study of Dunhuang Studies and even the Institute of Ancient Chinese History and Culture.
The finale was the Minister of Culture. He delivered a speech at the top of the house, and once again expressed his gratitude and praise for Ye Tian's generous donation, and gave him a very high evaluation.
And this is exactly what Ye Tian wanted.
Through this public and high-profile donation, he succeeded in leaving an excellent impression on everyone, and he will surely bring great help to the next construction of a private museum!
If there are no accidents and no one is involved, his construction of a private museum will be smooth sailing, and it is almost impossible to encounter any obstacles.
Soon, this heavyweight donation ceremony came to the most important link.
After the Minister of Culture finished his speech, the host of the donation ceremony stepped forward again and gave a concluding speech.
Immediately afterwards, he announced loudly with excitement.
"Dear friends from the media, I now invite the representative of the New York Brave Fearless Exploration Company, Mr. Ye Tian, and the curator of the National Library of China, Rao, to sign a donation agreement and hand over these precious Dunhuang scriptures."
Before the words fell, all the media reporters on the scene had stood up, raised the cameras and video cameras in their hands, and pointed the camera at the two people sitting in the center of the rostrum to record this important historical moment.
And the curator Ye Tian and Rao sitting in the center of the rostrum first glanced at each other, smiled and nodded, then each picked up the pens placed on the table and signed their names on the donation agreement.
"Kakaka"
The shutter sound of the camera instantly rang into one's ears, and the flashes continued to shine, illuminating this magnificent hall like daylight.
The donation agreement presented in front of Ye Tian and the curator Rao is in both Chinese and English. Although the text is different, the content is completely the same. It is a contract negotiated and drawn up by both parties, and there is also the signature of the lawyers of both parties.
After signing the two agreements in front of them, Ye Tian and Curator Rao took the agreement handed over by the other party and signed their names on the other two donation agreements.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them stood up at the same time, shook hands with each other under the eager attention of everyone on the scene, in front of all cameras and camera lenses, and then exchanged a donation agreement.
While shaking hands, Curator Rao said excitedly:
"Ye Tian, on behalf of all the staff of the National Library of China, thank you again. This is the largest donation and the most valuable donation that the National Library of China has received since its establishment. It is of great significance!"
Ye Tian smiled softly, then lowered his voice and said:
"Don’t be too polite, Curator Rao, don’t forget~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I am also Chinese. This is what I should do. I am deeply honored to be able to bring these precious Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures back to China. !"
When he said this, Ye Tian suppressed his voice very low, only he and Curator Rao could hear it.
He doesn't want these words to fall into the ears of the media reporters in the audience, especially those from the United States. In that case, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble!
The moment Ye Tian and Curator Rao shook hands, the five thousand Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures placed beside the rostrum and sealed in those boxes no longer belonged to Ye Tian. They all became the collections of the National Library.
Of course, Ye Tian and his brave exploration company, also have the power to supervise, if necessary, they can go to the National Library at any time to read these rare and rare ancient books!
The shutter sound of the camera at the scene has become more intense, and the flash has been connected to one piece, making people dizzy.
On the rostrum, Ye Tian and David shook hands with the Minister of Culture and the Dean of Dunhuang Research Institute respectively, and exchanged a few polite words with each other.
Especially the Minister of Culture, while shaking hands with Ye Tian, he looked at him deeply, full of appreciation, but didn't say much.
When they shook hands with each other, returned to their respective seats, and then turned to face the many media reporters in the audience, the temple hall suddenly boiled again.
"Papa Papa"
The enthusiastic applause sounded again, like a gust of wind and rain, instantly sweeping the entire Taimiao hall.
