The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

Chapter 68 Escape from the British Museum

The next video that came across shocked Su Chen's heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw the video at the end.

Su Chen carefully understood the entire process of creating the video, and was deeply impressed by such a mission-driven broadcaster.

On August 2023, 8, part of the collection of the British Museum was stolen, an employee of the museum was fired, and the Metropolitan Police launched an investigation.

From bronzes of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to porcelains of the Tang and Song Dynasties, gold and jade products of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there are 2.3 Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum, known as the "Cathedral of Stooges", of which 2000 are on permanent display.

Most of these cultural relics come from the crazy plundering of the war of aggression, as well as the sale of stolen goods by tomb robbers in the late Qing Dynasty and private sales by the Qing royal family.

Hugo once said in a letter that the victors filled their pockets and returned to Europe hand in hand... But what I saw was a theft and two thieves.

Due to chaotic management, these art treasures cannot play a role in inheriting historical culture. Instead, they face the fate of being stolen, damaged, and put on e-commerce platforms.

Moreover, there are 47 million Chinese cultural relics collected in at least 218 museums in 167 countries.

According to statistics, since the Opium War in 1840 alone, more than 1000 million Chinese cultural relics have been scattered out of the country due to wars, unfair trade and other reasons.

Those treasures that have left their hometowns record lamentable stories in their displacement, and they also remind the Chinese people all the time of the painful lesson that "if you fall behind, you will be beaten."

A netizen came across this news on Douyin and posted a message.

"Make an animation called "Escape from the British Museum". The personifications of various cultural relics come to life and escape from the British Museum to go home for the New Year. When the cultural relics of various dynasties returned to China after going through hardships, they found that it was no longer the China they remembered. In Cultural Relics When they were lost, the bad guys who were chasing them also came to China. As they fled around the country, they found that various cultural traditions during the New Year were still being passed down."

This message attracted the attention of two Douyin bloggers, Xia Tian and Jianbing. So the two bloggers took this as inspiration and brewed a script called "Escape from the British Museum" and went to the UK to film "Escape from the British Museum". Escape from the British Museum" short film.

【Escape from the British Museum】

[The video tells the story of a thin-bodied Chinese jade pot with branching pattern that escaped from the British Museum and transformed into a cute girl wearing ancient costumes. She happened to bump into a Chinese reporter in the UK.

"Family, I've been wandering outside for a long time and I'm lost."

"Believe me, I really escaped from the British Museum..."

"Do you want to take me back to China?"

At first, the reporter did not believe what Yu Hujing said, but as the plot developed, the boys gradually began to believe that the girl who was pestering him and saying that she wanted to go back to China was really a cultural relic in the British Museum. Jade pot, and the jade pot that was rumored to be stolen actually escaped by himself.

Not only that, the girl also shoulders a particularly important secret mission.

The boy who learned the truth decided to take the girl back to China.

"Let's go back home."]

"If the Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum could speak, would they also lament that the mountains are difficult to cross, and those who have lost their way, meeting by chance, are all guests from a foreign land."

"The British Museum has robbed so many cultural relics belonging to China. I don't know when these cultural relics will return to the embrace of the motherland."

"The scene where I hugged him and called my family made me burst into tears. Damn it, I'm not usually such a hypocritical person."

"The so-called "mission" of Xiaoyuhu is the hope and desire to carry many cultural relics home. She is the "youngest cultural relic" in the museum, and is a cultural relic donated to Britain by China. She knows how to get home, so she is regarded as a bridge to the motherland and has the important responsibility of delivering messages. Many cultural relics have placed their hopes on Xiao Yuhu, hoping that she can guide them back to their homes. Xiao Yuhu knew her mission well. With the hope of returning home, she conveyed the thoughts and desires of the cultural relics to the motherland. The purpose of her return home is to bring more cultural relics home with hope and guidance...Chinese cultural relics have a long journey home..."

"Now I understand why Chinese people from generation to generation have a unique desire to "go home""

"Only two people can live in such a big cabinet. The reason why Xiao Yuhu sighs like this is because many Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum are crowded together."

At first, when ancient people from various dynasties heard that such a cute girl said that she was the transformation of a Chinese jade pot with a thin body and a branch pattern, they were all shocked and thought that the cultural relic had become a spirit.

But slowly, as the plot unfolded, everyone finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that the girl who claims to be the Chinese Jade Pot with Twisting Pattern and Thin Body was played by a later generation, just like you have seen the various roles played by later generations in the previous video.

Coupled with the comments of later generations, ancient talents from all dynasties understood the meaning of this video.

A country called Britain stole a large number of cultural relics belonging to China and displayed them as trophies in the British Museum. A girl played the role of a jade pot spirit who escaped from the British Museum and returned to China with the help of a Chinese boy. story.

But after understanding the meaning of the video, countless ancient people felt very uncomfortable.

I don’t know how many cultural relics belonging to China were stolen by the British.

Since they can be displayed as trophies by the British, it shows how valuable these cultural relics are.

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng was suffocating and extremely depressed.

He is the first emperor of China, and now that Britain has robbed so many of China's treasures, his face is not bright.

Until now, he finally understood why later generations hated the Qing Dynasty so much.

In the previous video of China's five thousand years of history, the last dynasty was the Qing Dynasty, and it was also called the Slave Qing by later generations, which shows how useless the Qing Dynasty was.

Needless to say, Britain must have snatched a large number of cultural relics from the Qing Dynasty. Maybe among the cultural relics the British snatched from the Qing Dynasty, there were also cultural relics belonging to their Qin Dynasty.

Da Qin was more than two thousand years away from Britain, so he wanted to teach the British ancestors a lesson in revenge, but he didn't even know where Britain was, let alone trouble the British ancestors.

His thoughts returned to the sky again. He liked this cute jade pot spirit very much.

He didn't know what kind of story would happen when Yu Hu Jing returned to China, and he was also very curious about what the mission Yu Hu Jing was talking about.

[After the boy took the girl back to China, the girl looked for many places but could never find her home.

Having been in a foreign country for many years, even if I return to my country, I will never be able to return to the era in which I was born.

The girl hugged the boy sadly and cried, "I don't know how to find my way home."

The boy took the girl to the museum, and the girl took out a bunch of letters from the bulging bag. These letters were brought back by dragging the girl back with the cultural relics in the British Museum.

It turns out that the girl’s mission is to bring home the memories of overseas cultural relics.

The girl took a letter and came to the pottery figurine of the Eastern Han Dynasty violin master to read the letter. "Hello, Uncle Tao Fu, the violinist. Aunt Tao Fu, the flute teacher, asked me to tell you that one day, you will pluck your spring breeze strings, and she will play her evening bagpipe, and we will finish the unfinished "Long Song Xing" together. Bar."】

Liu Xiu: In other words, the pottery figurines of flute masters were displayed as trophies in the British Museum. This was a shame for the Han Dynasty.

Although Britain is not a treasure snatched from the hands of their big men, the treasures belonging to their big men are snatched away by foreigners and displayed openly as trophies. This is a complete slap in the face of their big men.

He looked down upon the Qing Dynasty who could not see its treasures.

What kind of waste is it that allows foreigners to rob so many cultural relics?

["Tang Dama, I am here to deliver a letter to you. The letter reads: Tang Dama, I am Tang Xiaoma. In the blink of an eye, we have not seen each other for 163 years. Every day after the foreigners leave, I I will run around this cage for several times, and as I run, I will think of the oath we made hundreds of years ago to run all over the world together..."]

Li Shimin: How come my Tang Sancai was also snatched away by the British? This is simply unreasonable.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Tang Sancai was the treasure of the Tang Dynasty, the most dazzling pearl among ceramics.

Now this pearl has been snatched away by foreigners and displayed as a trophy, and even he, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, has lost his face.

Think about his Tang Dynasty, when all the nations came to court, and countless countries admired the glory of the Tang Dynasty.

But it happened that the Qing Dynasty, an incompetent dynasty, could not defend the Three Colored Colors of the Tang Dynasty. It not only lost the face of the Qing Dynasty, but also the face of the Tang Dynasty.

["Grandpa Buddha, Grandpa Arhat asked me to tell you that the origin and destruction of conditions, the gathering and dispersion of conditions, are the dharma of all living beings, and the reunion is between one leaf of Bodhi."]

Yelu Abaoji: The Tang Sancai of the Tang Dynasty was snatched away by the British. I knew that the three-color Arhat statue of the Liao Dynasty could not be saved. It was indeed the case.

When he thought of Daliao's most exquisite cultural relics being snatched away by the British, he was in a bad mood, with a look of regret on his face.

Compared with Tang Sancai, their Liao Sancai is improved on the basis of Tang Sancai. It not only inherits the advantages of Tang Sancai, but is also more exquisite.

Take the three-color Arhat statue of Liao Dynasty that was stolen by the British. It has lifelike appearance, vivid expressions, smooth pleats and superb sculpture techniques. It is the most outstanding statue of Liao Dynasty.

But now it is displayed to everyone as a trophy, which is undoubtedly a humiliation for them in Daliao.

["Grandpa Long Er Hu Zu, Uncle Chao Guan Er Lu wants to tell you: A real man is born between heaven and earth, and he should constantly strive for self-improvement. A patriotic man should not be afraid of the abyss of nine layers. There is no need to worry about my predecessors. Although I am thousands of miles away, I will still Don’t lose your patriotic heart.”]

Qianlong: Unworthy of his descendants, even the imperial crown and ear stove were taken away by the British.

Just now, his appallingly low rating was enough to make him angry, but now that he learned that so many treasures had been taken away by the British, he was immediately furious.

He collected countless treasures from all over the world and kept them in the Old Summer Palace, and the Chaoguan Er stove was one of them.

Now that even the Chaoguan Er stove has been snatched away, one can imagine the plight of other cultural relics in the Old Summer Palace.

Now he finally understands why later generations spoke ill of the Qing Dynasty. This can be seen in the seizure of cultural relics from the Old Summer Palace in England.

He had only thought that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the people were in dire straits and the Han people overthrew the Qing rule.

But now it seems that it is far from that simple. There must be the humiliation of being bullied by foreign countries.

The Old Summer Palace was the royal garden of the Qing Dynasty. Even the Old Summer Palace was looted by foreign countries. It is conceivable how humiliating it suffered in the late Qing Dynasty. It is no wonder that later generations hate the Qing Dynasty so much.

["I am sick and my bones are broken. I have been away from home for a hundred years. Even if I am distracted and my soul is broken, I can't stop this lingering homesickness."]

Zhu Di: The Ming Dynasty’s dragon-patterned glaze was also poisonous. What did the emperors of the Qing Dynasty do for food?

This set of dragon-patterned glazed bricks, displayed as a trophy by the British Museum, is a rare treasure from the Ming Dynasty.

On the four decorative strips, four vibrant blue-yellow glazed mountain-clawed dragons play among lotuses and peonies, and the second strip happily chases a flaming pearl, which can be described as exquisite, delicate and lifelike.

It was the incompetence of the Qing emperor that such a precious treasure could not be left in the land of China.

["Ksitigarbha, you always thought my laughter was noisy in the past. You haven't heard it for so many years. Do you still miss it a little bit? Hahahahaha."]

Zhu Di: Haha, even the Butai Monk sculpture has been exiled overseas.

He smiled coldly and was furious at the Qing Dynasty's incompetence.

The British took two treasures of the Ming Dynasty as trophies, which undoubtedly rubbed the face of the Ming Dynasty on the ground.

The British should be from the European side. The Ming Dynasty currently does not have the ability to take revenge, but it is still easy to seek revenge from the Qing Dynasty.

The Tatars of the Qing Dynasty came from outside the Pass, and most of the northern Jurchen savages were the ancestors of the Manchus.

The next time he leads his troops on an expedition, he will stop by the north and try to slaughter all the Jurchen savages.

["Fellow compatriots, my brother was kidnapped by foreigners during the war. We are brothers. If he goes home first, he must, must tell me."]

Daoguang watched this scene with distress. This ivory ghost ball was his favorite thing. Every time he went to the Old Summer Palace, he had to play with it.

The Ghost Ball is a hand-carved ivory artifact that consists of many finely carved hollow balls of the same shape that blend into each other in a way that seems impossible.

Every time he sees this ivory ball, he is deeply impressed by its exquisite workmanship.

["Commanders in the pass, defend my homeland for me! Rats from all directions, whoever commits any crime will be punished by his clan. Our army will win every battle and obey all orders. When I return to camp, give me back a peaceful one." Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.”]

Wanli looked at the bronze statue of Zhenwu in the British Museum with complicated eyes.

He originally ordered people to cast this largest bronze statue of Zhenwu in order to protect the country and the country.

But now this god of national security has been robbed by foreign invaders. It has to be said that it is a bit ironic.

["Friends and relatives in Luoyang are like asking each other, and a heart of ice is in a jade pot." The touching letter from home has made people cry. In the end, the voices of all the cultural relics that have been exiled overseas merged into a voice of eternal peace for the family and the country. I really burst into tears!

In the end, after Xiao Yuhu completed her mission, she did not stay in her motherland, but chose to return to the British Museum because she still had her own responsibilities. 】

"I have to go back. We are a great country. Chinese people don't do that kind of sneaky things. One day, we will go home in good condition and with dignity!"
