Chapter 288 National Treasure
Chun Nan nodded after listening to the staff's explanation. Although he didn't believe it, it was good luck to pick up the lucky egg.
After saying goodbye to the staff, they went directly to the museum.
This museum is quite good, with bamboo-related items everywhere.
Here you will find out how powerful the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is. An ordinary bamboo can be carved with different patterns.
These patterns are very complicated. Chu Nan felt that it would be very difficult to draw this picture, let alone carve it.
These bamboo carvings are exquisite and like works of art, just like the bamboo carving in front of him, with complicated bamboo carvings on the surface, and that's not all. The most important thing is that it is hollow.
A careful observation revealed that it is a cup, the middle is complete and can hold water, but the outside is hollow.
There were not only bamboos, but also several people who seemed to be talking about something.
Some people were laughing, some were stroking their beards and smiling, and some were dancing.
Their expressions were very lively, and people could tell at a glance how happy they were.
"Hey." Just as Chu Nan was looking at the bamboo carving distractedly, he suddenly heard an old voice beside him sighing.
Chu Nan subconsciously turned his head and saw a white-haired old man standing beside him, also looking at the bamboo carving in front of him.
He didn't know why he was sighing at the bamboo carving, thinking that this matter had nothing to do with him, so he planned to ask Feng Ruoxue to leave.
"Young man, do you like bamboo carving too?" However, before he called Feng Ruoxue, he heard the old man suddenly ask him.
"I like it. This bamboo carving is really lifelike and very detailed." Chu Nan looked around and found that he was the only one around the old man, so he answered the old man.
"Yes, the craftsmanship of these craftsmen is really amazing. They can actually carve such a complicated pattern on a bamboo surface."
"It's just a pity!" The old man sighed.
"Old man, what are you sighing about?" Chu Nan was a little curious about why the old man kept sighing. Isn't it a good thing that the craftsman's craftsmanship is good?
"Do you think these bamboo carvings are the treasures of our country?"
The old man did not respond to Chu Nan's words directly, but turned to ask Chu Nan.
Chu Nan nodded, and he agreed with this statement.
"It's a pity that a bamboo sculpture about one meter high and half a meter wide in our country, which is the work of the famous bamboo carving artist Fu Hongyan, has been lost abroad."
"This is the most famous bamboo carving artwork in history."
"What a pity." The old man shook his head.
"What a pity. Since it is abroad, just buy it back." Chu Nan said indifferently.
He remembered that when he was a student, he saw that someone went abroad and bought many lost porcelains in history.
There are many people who do this, because some Chinese people think that porcelain and bamboo carvings belong to the country.
Because other countries do not have such artists. Although other countries also make these things, they are all made by machines, unlike China, which is all made by hand.
Relatively speaking, they are more precious because they are all unique.
"Alas, being young is good, but you don't know that the bamboo carving is carved with the Qingming River Map. The Qingming River Map itself is very valuable, and carving the Qingming River Map on the bamboo surface is even more precious."
The old man disagreed with Chu Nan's words. If he could buy it back easily, why would he sigh? It was too expensive.
Chu Nan looked at the sighing old man and kept saying "How can we let the national treasure flow to other countries?" Such words moved his heart.
If the bamboo carving is really a national treasure, and he bought this national treasure and returned it to the country, then his contribution would be very great. Although there would be no benefits on the surface, there would be some hidden benefits.
For example, now he only has money and no power.
If a powerful person wants to mess with me, I can't fight him.
By buying this national treasure and riding on the ship of the country, my future career will be smooth sailing.
Chu Nan thought so, and he began to doubt the identity of the old man in front of him.
After all, ordinary people would not worry about the national treasure being lost, and this person's identity must be extraordinary.
"Our country is so rich, it's not difficult to buy a national treasure back." So he deliberately said to the old man.
"What do you know? The country does have money, but that money is spent on national construction. Although this bamboo carving is precious, it is not enough for the country to send it out." After scolding Chu Nan, the old man muttered to himself.
"Alas, if I had money, I would buy it myself."
Chu Nan looked suspicious after hearing the old man's words. Wouldn't the old man know his identity and deliberately say this in front of him?
Otherwise, a stranger shouldn't say such words without scruples in front of another stranger.
"What's your name, old man?" So he bowed respectfully to the old man.
Hearing Chu Nan's question, the old man smiled secretly.
It turned out that the old man's name was Fu Hongyan, and he was the curator of the National Museum. The reason why he appeared here was because he was very interested in bamboo carvings and wanted to collect some bamboo carvings into the National Museum.
It was only after coming here that he learned that there was such a bamboo carving that was lost overseas.
He felt heartbroken.
What's more, he actually found Chu Nan, who had recently become famous on the Internet.
From the report, one can understand how rich Chu Nan is.
He then made a plan for Chu Nan and wanted Chu Nan to buy such a national treasure back.
However, he was also a reserved person and would not be lazy to find Chu Nan and ask him to buy bamboo carvings, so he kept waiting in this bamboo carving museum.
When he met Chu Nan, it was Chu Nan's first day in this Muling Bamboo Sea.
According to the itinerary, we should have arrived at this museum yesterday. If we walked fast, we would have returned the day before yesterday.
But Chu Nan didn't expect to go somewhere and come to this museum today.
When Chu Nan entered this museum, the old man saw him.
