Whenever he thinks of these things, Jin Muchen can't help but hates Pu Wei, who wants to reverse history, and he is so angry that he grits his teeth.

Just such a bastard has caused so much loss and suffering to us Chinese?

Therefore, if his Aisin Jueluo family does not perish, it is unreasonable. Although their Aisin Jueluo family and entering the Central Plains have indeed brought a lot of benefits to our China and its territory.

For example, the rule over Tibet, the rule over Inner Mongolia, and the rule over Xinjiang, and the expansion and formation of China's current territory are indeed of great help, etc., but the descendants of their Aisin Gioro family are really fucked.

If their grandsons could be more open-minded, they would not withdraw from the stage of Chinese history in such a disgraceful way.

Just from the protection of things, the fucking things done by these descendants of Aisin Gioro are definitely innumerable. It is precisely because of their large amount of reselling that our goods have been lost overseas.

Not only Prince Gong Pu Wei, but also his younger brother Pu Xin, also resold a large number of calligraphy and paintings left by Prince Gong's mansion to foreigners.

In 1927, Yi Yuanji's "Gathering Apes" by the Song Dynasty was resold to the Japanese by the younger brother of these two brothers.

It was first collected by Abe Yajiro, and later it was collected in the Osaka Municipal Art Museum. The "Yuanchi Picture Album" by Fumize Aki in the Ming Dynasty was sold by Urashi to Japan by Urashi in 1928. The collection is now unknown.

Yan Zhenqing's "Announcement Tie" by Yan Zhenqing in the Tang Dynasty was pawned by Pu Wei at a high price to Japan's Mitsubishi Company in 2019, and has been unable to redeem it.

In July 2019, Japanese calligrapher and painter Nakamura bought it from Mitsubishi Company for 30,000 yen. This work is now hidden in the Japanese Calligraphy Museum.

Zhu Yunming's "Reading the Sutra of Huangting", "Reading the Poems of Drinking with Tao", Qiu Ying's "Princess of the Plum Blossom Princess" by the Ming Dynasty, Fang Cong's "Designing the Color Landscape" by Li Shizhuo in the Qing Dynasty, and "Reading the Picture of Zhao Qianli Tingquan" by Zhang Zhao in the Qing Dynasty, these six paintings were sold by Pu Xin to the Japanese Tijiro Yamamoto in 1931, and their whereabouts are unknown.

The "Five-Colored Parrot Scroll" by Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty was also sold by Ura Xin to Jiro Yamamoto in 1931, and later sold by Jiro Yamamoto to the Boston Art Museum in the United States. Now it has been bought by Jin Muchen.

Chen Rong of the Southern Song Dynasty pawned the "Nine Dragons Picture Scroll" and was sold by Na Puxin to the Boston Art Museum in the United States in 1917. Now he has been taken back by Jin Muchen.

Song De’s Anonymous Man’s "Picture of Cattle-Scattered Herding" was sold by Urashi to Japanese Yajiro Abe, and is now collected in the Osaka Municipal Art Museum.

This shows how prodigal the three brothers of Prince Gong’s Mansion are. As the saying goes, they don’t feel sorry for their sons. The calligraphy and paintings of these famous people were collected by their Aisin Gioro family when they were emperors.

But these are all treasures of our Chinese art. As a result, these guys sold all these things to the Japanese and Americans for the sake of money.

Now, if our descendants want to see the remains of these ancestors, they either have to go to Japan or go to the United States to see them.

What's even more regrettable is that the good things sold to the Japanese were destroyed by the United States during World War II, and many calligraphy and paintings were destroyed by the war.

The most heartbreaking thing among the new is Wang Xizhi's "Youmu Tie", which is one of the few original works left by the calligraphy saint Wang Xizhi in the world, but they were also sold to the Japanese by the unfilial descendants of the Prince Gong's Mansion, but in the end they were destroyed by the United States' bombing of Japan, resulting in the only remaining authentic works of Wang Xizhi, which is the "Sangluan Tie" collected by the Japanese Royal Family.

The "Sangluan Tie" was regarded as a fairy by the Emperor's family and was seen so hard by the Emperor's old Wang family. Not to mention that it was displayed at the Tokyo National Museum, even his own family would not be able to easily see this copybook.

And we Chinese people should not think about it. Unless we defeated Japan, we modern Chinese people would probably never think of seeing the original copybook even in our lifetime.

Many of these calligraphy and paintings were introduced to Japan or the United States through the hands of the Shanzhong Chamber of Commerce.

The Shanzhong Chamber of Commerce was also a fortune in these transactions. After the 1920s, the activity trajectory of the Shanzhong Chamber of Commerce in China expanded more.

Because Japan became the victorious country in World War I at that time, its international status suddenly increased and it obtained a large amount of war dividends. In addition, Japan later openly embezzled the Blue Bird area in Shandong, and its sphere of influence in China continued to expand.

And the Shanzhong Chamber of Commerce also took this opportunity to become more and more rampant and acted as a mighty man on the head of the Chinese.

At that time, their work at the Chinese branch was no longer limited to those in Beijing and Tianjin, where they sat at home and waited for others to deliver goods to their homes to purchase.

Instead, they began to go out of their homes and search all over China. They went deep into the hinterland of China many times. For example, they dug out a large number of bronze ware in the Western Zhou Dynasty, such as Zhou Gong Ding, Sanshi Pan, Dayu Ding, Xiaoyu Ding and other ritual vessels that marked the country of the Western Zhou Dynasty. They also went to the Mangshan tomb group north of Luoyang, where they dug out a large number of catacombs, and where they obtained a large number of cultural relics, such as Tang Sancai, pottery, bronze ware, ancient jade, etc.

It is precisely through these illegal means that the Shanzhong Chamber of Commerce can continuously obtain various precious cultural relics from China.

On the one hand, they used these cultural relics to serve as umbrellas in the country's political and business circles, and also generously donated a lot of treasures to museums across Japan.

On the other hand, they also transported most of the goods to Europe and the United States for sale, thus obtaining huge profits and huge fortunes.

While making huge profits, they also became famous in Europe and the United States, so that many European and American collectors want to get a Chinese antique they like, the first thing they think of is the Shanzhong Chamber of Commerce.

If such a treasure is not found in the store of the Shanzhong Chamber of Commerce, they will place an order for the Shanzhong Chamber of Commerce and ask them to go to China to find it.

At this time, the Shanzhong Chamber of Commerce was no longer the nature of antique shops, but they had completely transformed into cultural relics robbers and antique shoppers.

Just behind this three-piece set of red sandalwood is a statue of Tathagata leaning on the Tang Dynasty. This statue comes from Cave 21 of the Tianlong Mountain Grottoes in Tai'ayuan.

There is actually an explanation about this sitting statue.

In the 19th century, several major museums in New York, USA were desperately plundering objects. On the one hand, they sent their own "exploration teams" to plunder everywhere like China.

On the other hand, they also contacted the Shanzhong Chamber of Commerce and asked them to help plunder a batch of stone statues from China, especially Buddhist stone sculptures, which they were particularly interested.

Because the Buddha statues in the caves of Tianlong Mountain in Tai'ayuan, especially for their exquisite carvings, several large museums in the United States have placed orders for the Shanzhong Chamber of Commerce. As long as they can get them, these museums will be purchased at high prices.

So for this business, in 1924 and 1926, Yamaaka Tadjiro, the head of the Shanzhong Chamber of Commerce, took it back in person and went to Tianlong Mountain in western Shanxi twice. The purpose of each time was very clear, which was to stolen a large number of exquisite Buddha statues in the grottoes abroad.

There is no clear record of the Americans' quotation, but at this time, Yamaaka Tachijiro had already achieved success and was not short of money, but he was not short of money and had to go on the battle himself. This shows how high the Americans' bid was.

And Yamaaka Tachijiro never returned empty-handed every time. With the help of his assistants and some local traitors who were profit-seeking at that time, his plan to dig up was very successful.

As long as the Buddha statues in the Tianlong Mountain Grottoes are preserved and have almost nothing he can't do.

There is no complete statistics on how many Buddha statues he plundered from the Tianlong Mountain Grottoes, but there is definitely not less than a hundred people, so that is certain.

The worst thing this grandson did was that while he was plundering the Buddha statues in the caves, he was still constantly destroying them.

You should know that there are not only Buddha statues in those caves, but almost every cave where Buddha statues are stored will have exquisite murals. However, while stealing those Buddha statues, he did not cherish the murals at all and destroyed them vigorously.

Fortunately, there are enough Buddha statues in the Tianlong Mountain Grottoes. Although he stole part of them and destroyed part of them, there are still more than a thousand people left. Thanks to the ancestors, the family background left to us is sufficient.

Otherwise, even if we Chinese nowadays want to see the Tianlong Mountain Grottoes, it will probably be very difficult.

And now, the one who appeared in front of Jin Muchen was a statue of Tathagata leaning on his seat to Cave 21 of Tianlong Mountain.

The reason why this sitting statue of Tathagata appears here is because when Dingjiro of the mountain accidentally stole this statue, the head and front of the Tathagata's statue were missing, and the color was almost peeled off.

If such a statue of Tathagata was sold on the market, it would be of no value. So this guy pretended to be generous and donated the broken statue of Tathagata to the Tokyo National Museum, making him a good person.
