This temple of Pattinon was originally built on a mountain in Athens, Greece. It was built around 450 BC and later collapsed due to poor maintenance.

Around 1802, after the discovery of the British Ambassador of the Ottoman Empire, Earl Elgin, he bought the marble architectural decoration and carvings from the Parthenon from the Ottoman Empire, and cut them and transported them back to the UK.

At one end of the hall is the display of the main body of the temple, and the walls of the hall are surrounded by exquisite wall decorations of the temple. Entering this hall and looking at the exquisite ancient carvings, one can immediately feel a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

These ancient carvings do seem to have a magical magic. Even Jin Muchen, who doesn't know much about ancient Greek history and cultural relics, can feel the creativity and greatness of the ancient Greeks through these carvings. It is indeed an amazing treasure.

No wonder the Greek government has insisted on the British Museum to return these precious cultural relics over the years, but the British side has repeatedly refused and declared that these relics will disappear, and that the United Kingdom has retained this cultural wealth for the world.

After hearing these words, can you feel the shamelessness of the British?

After coming out from here, it is basically the first floor of other places, and the Oriental Pavilion is worth visiting. Some of the other antiques and cultural relics from Asia, Africa and Latin America are really not very interesting.

However, before going to the China Pavilion, Jin Muchen went up to the second floor first because there is a "Hot Hall" on the north side of the second floor. This museum was donated by Mr. Ho Dong, a Hong Kong gentleman, and it displays the collection of antiques and cultural relics from China, India and Southeast Asia.

There are many exhibits from China and India, including Chinese exhibits from the Neolithic Age to the Qing Dynasty. They include various jade, bronze, lacquer, gold and silver, porcelain, Tang Sancai and cloisonne, as well as precious calligraphy and painting, which are truly dazzling and beautiful.

On the wall at the east end of this museum is a large Buddhist mural from the Ming Dynasty. On both sides are carved Buddha statues of different eras and materials. Although they cannot be compared with those of the Buddha statues of the Boston Art Museum, they are also some exquisite and excellent things.

Looking at these treasures, Jin Muchen felt a lot of twists and turns. On the one hand, he wanted to thank the Hedong gentleman for collecting so many good things, and on the other hand, he couldn't understand why he had donated so many good things to the British?

If you don’t like the mainland, you can set up a private museum in Hong Kong. Wouldn’t it be better to put these things in your own private museum? Why do you have to donate them to the British?

Forget it, after all, it’s someone else’s thing, and they don’t care what they want to deal with it.

After walking around this hall, Jin Muchen did not go downstairs directly, but looked around in other halls, because there were several exhibition halls and several very strange things and places. It was worth seeing.

For example, in the reading room here, there is a signature book at the entrance, which has a 250-year history of the British Museum. It not only collects antiques and cultural relics, but also contains a lot of books. While serving as the name of a museum, it is also a huge library.

The founder of the Ma Cult, Ma Dahuzi, borrowed information here and then created the book "Das Kapital". Sun Dapao, who was later beautified by the Chinese, also completed his theory of "Three Principles of the People" after investigating the information here.

The signature book at the entrance hall has now become an antique. The signatures of these people who are closely related to Chinese history can also be found on it.

Even somewhere here, you can find something even more rare, such as the Party Constitution at the beginning of the founding of this dynasty...

After browsing these more historical things, Jin Muchen went straight downstairs. However, after just walking around this, it was already noon. He did not leave the restaurant, but instead bought food in the restaurant, ordered a simple lunch, and took a bite.

By the way, the name of the Dark Cuisine Empire was indeed not for nothing. Jin Muchen only took a bite and threw it into the trash can. Finally, he had a British national meal, and the fish and chips were filled with his stomach.

After a while after dinner, Jin Muchen got up and headed straight for his main goal of this trip to the UK, the Oriental Pavilion of the British Museum.

However, as soon as he entered the Oriental Museum, Jin Muchen collapsed. Although he had not been to many domestic museums, he had heard that one more piece of museums in the country, and even the Palace Museum on Treasure Island was included. In China, there were only 6 Ru kiln porcelains, and the others were fragments.

After seeing this, I had a good relationship. It turned out that all the Ru kiln porcelains came here. Among the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, there were as many as 11 pieces in this British Museum!!

You should know that there are only 67 pieces of Ru kiln porcelain in the world!!!

When reading the porcelain instructions in this museum, it can be described in a mess. Obviously, people do not pay attention to our treasures that are held by our ancestors above our heads.

I don’t know if they have too many treasures or if they really don’t like these things, but after reading the shabby introduction, Jin Muchen really wanted to greet the ancestors of the people who snatched this thing from China and abroad.

Damn, since you don’t pay attention to it, why do you have to snatch these treasures here? Wouldn’t it be nice to leave them to us Chinese?

The display cabinet is divided into two layers, with eleven pieces placed respectively, Song Dynasty Ru kiln porcelain. These porcelains are without exception. The heads are blue glaze and there are no extra paintings on them. The patterns look a little simple, but if you look closely, you can see from the faint green light on the porcelain, which cannot be concealed by any means, and it is absolutely natural.

Moreover, these porcelains have different shapes, including cups, bowls, plates, and plates, as well as a thin-necked vase and a huge three-legged washbasin.

This Ru kiln porcelain is really important to us Chinese, especially the development history of ancient Chinese porcelain. This is a milestone and benchmark work of ancient Chinese porcelain.

According to the verified records, there should be only 67 Ru kiln porcelains worldwide.

The reason why this Ru kiln is precious is its quality. It can be said that it is comparable to the enamels of the Qing Dynasty. Both were fired in the capital, but the enamels were fired in the Qing Dynasty's manufacturing office in the Forbidden City, while the Ru kiln was fired near Tokyo (Kaifeng).

One of the reasons why Ru kiln is special and can be regarded as a benchmark work of ancient Chinese porcelain is that during the firing process, he added agate powder to the glaze. Agate is the hard material second only to diamond. From this, we can imagine the cost of firing Ru kiln at that time. The addition of agate powder is also one of the main reasons why Ru kiln can stand proudly above the other four famous kilns of the Song Dynasty and become the king of porcelain in the Song Dynasty.

This is similar to the Xuande Furnace cast in the Ming Dynasty. The Xuande Furnace not only refined copper, but also added gold, which distinguished all the later bronze ware. This is also the reason why the Xuande Furnace can still shine and have a pleasant sound after many years of storms.

It is precisely because of this that Ru Kiln has its own unique characteristics, that is, the unique blue sky and bean green glaze color. Later, many dynasties and celebrities once imitated Ru Kiln porcelain, but unfortunately, the porcelain made was difficult to even be similar.

Standing in front of the display cabinet, Jin Muchen was filled with emotion. Any of these eleven pieces of porcelain, as long as they can be taken back to China, can be said to be a peerless treasure!

Unfortunately, it can only be seen by the British now. It is very difficult for us domestic enthusiasts to meet each other.

The more I thought about it, the more angry he became. Jin Muchen couldn't help but scold the damn British guy!

Looking down, Jin Muchen couldn't help but curse in his heart, "You grandma, I met a Ding kiln porcelain in the United States, but it seemed like I had found a treasure. In the end, domestic enthusiasts spent a high price of 100 million yuan before they were invited back to China."

But you're so fucking, just by looking at it here, it's a cabinet!

That's right, a whole cabinet of fixed tools! Jin Muchen's eyes were blurred and his hands were trembling.

Let’s not talk about all kinds of gold-mounted Ding Kiln bowls, Ding Kiln plates, and Ding Kiln basins. The most exaggerated thing is that he also saw a gold-mounted Ding Kiln holding pot. Now, Jin Muchen felt as if Liu Laolao had entered the Grand View Garden and the old hat suddenly entered the city.

In the past, people said that Chinese antiques were profound and profound. He didn't have much deep feelings. He thought he was used to seeing the treasure, but after seeing this whole cabinet of gold-mounted instruments, he realized how shallow his eyelids were.

He used to think that this gold-mounted instrument must be either a bowl or a plate or something, but when he got here he found that he still had a cup, a washbasin, and a pot.

The most exaggerated thing is that he also found a gold-edged black-glazed porcelain teacup later, which should be the famous black-ding porcelain!

This thing, for Jin Muchen, was only famous and never met!

After taking over the Ding porcelain, Jin Muchen later gained a certain understanding of Ding porcelain. It turned out that the reason why Ding porcelain was so popular was not only because of its rare inheritance. Another reason was that Ding porcelain was the first white porcelain in the history of the development of ancient Chinese porcelain that could achieve such a whiteness.
