Chapter 385

The animal head of Yuanmingyuan, the exact name, should be the bronze statue of the animal head of the twelve zodiac signs in Yuanmingyuan.

It is a red bronze statue from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

It was originally part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall in Yuanmingyuan.

The body of the bronze zodiac statue is a stone sculpture wearing a robe.

The head is a realistic style, with fine casting,

The folds and fluff on the head of the animal are all clear and realistic.

The material used for casting the animal head was the red copper refined by the Qing court at that time.

According to research,

At that time, the bronze statues of the 12 zodiacs were arranged in a figure-eight shape on both sides of a pool in front of the Haiyan Hall in Yuanmingyuan, which was called a water clock by the people of the time.

The reason is because every hour, the zodiac clock that belongs to that hour will automatically spray water.

At twelve o'clock at noon, the twelve zodiac signs spray water at the same time, and the design is extremely delicate.

The main building of Haiyan Hall faces west, with eleven rooms up and down.

There are stacked water fountains on the left and right of the building door, and a large water fountain under the steps.

The bronze statues of the twelve zodiac signs with human and animal heads are arranged in a figure-eight shape on the left and right sides of the pool.

During the Second Opium War,

The heads of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac were plundered by the British and French forces and were scattered all over the world.

Among them, the bronze statues of ox head, monkey head, tiger head, pig head and horse head have returned to China and are collected in Baoli Art Museum.

The head of the mouse and the head of the rabbit were donated by the French Pinault family to China for free, and entered the National Expo in Tibet.

The whereabouts of five pieces, including dragon heads, snake heads, sheep heads, chicken heads, and dog heads, are still unknown.

This is the information that Zhang Chao found on the Internet.

Not surprisingly.

The reward he got should be one of the five missing animal heads.

just not clear,

Which one it is, I don't know.

These things are national treasures.

To know.

During the Qianlong period, the national power of the Qing Dynasty was strong, and the level of craftsmanship was at its peak, which was especially fully demonstrated on the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals in Yuanmingyuan.

The copper used in it is an alloy copper specially refined for the court, which contains many precious metals.

It is the same copper used in the bronze cranes displayed in the Forbidden City of Yanjing and the Summer Palace.

The color is deep, the inner light is bright, and it has survived the wind and rain without rusting, which is a must.

and,

These things were carefully crafted by the craftsmen of the palace's office, which was dedicated to serving the emperor.

The casters are finished, and the surface is also carved with fine chisel work. The subtleties such as animal hair are all forged by chisel and chisel, which are clear and realistic.

The nose, eyes, ears and other key parts, as well as the folds on the nose and neck are all very delicate, without a trace of sloppy, showing a very high level of craftsmanship.

Even more impressive is that,

The bronze statues with the heads of the twelve zodiac animals are made by Chinese court craftsmen.

The designers are artists from Europe such as Lang Shining,

Therefore, the bronze statue not only has a strong traditional Chinese aesthetic taste, but also integrates the characteristics of Western plastic arts.

to be honest,

This is the cultural heritage of our Chinese nation for thousands of years, and they also symbolize the prosperity of our motherland back then.

Even if Zhang Chao had no research on antiques, he was very excited when he heard this reward.

He even thought.

If you can get all these animal heads back. Will it be remembered in history?

Don't say it yet.

According to the reward mode of the system,

There might be such a miracle.

………………

With excitement, Zhang Chao withdrew from Rita's live broadcast room.

Of course.

before exiting,

He didn't forget to give Rita a hundred treasure maps.

Before Rita could thank her, she saw that Zhang Chao had already left.

frowning slightly,

She was a little strange in her heart, what does Super Emperor mean?

In fact, she thought too much.

Zhang Chao was not interested at all.

He was just thinking about signing in for the third time.

Leaving Tigercat Live,

He opened the crooked live broadcast.

this time,

I don't know who is online.

really.

I opened it and looked at it, and the names I was familiar with were not there.

Zhang Chao glanced at the homepage for a long time, and finally chose a live broadcast room called Randy and clicked in.

Litu Randy.

Looking at the name of the live broadcast room, Zhang Chao suddenly realized.

It's been a long day,

This girl is Lao Li's apprentice.

The appearance is not ugly, with big eyes and long hair, not the mainstream awl face, slightly rounded.

It gives the impression that it is the kind of obvious Northeasterner.

"Welcome Chaohuang, I'm Randy, Li Ge's apprentice, a dance anchor, hello Chaohuang."

I saw Zhang Chao enter the live broadcast room.

Randy was visibly excited and quickly introduced himself.

The voice is not that sweet type, it sounds a bit full of air.

【Hello. 】

The girl is so enthusiastic, Zhang Chao naturally will not act cold.

Although he is not the kind of character of pity and cherish jade, but also not the temper of strangers.

"Super Emperor, wait a moment, I'll dance for you."

Randy is also a very interesting girl. Knowing that Zhang Chao likes to watch performances, he naturally wants a talent.

Zhang Chao just wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, forget it.

If you reject her,

It is estimated that she will feel that she is not satisfied with her performance,

Maybe the water friends on the barrage will also have a rhythm.

After all, this kind of thing is too much crooked.

Crooked this place.

It's always been a word that could start a fight.

soon.

Dynamic music sounded.

in front of the camera.

Randyle danced.

Don't say it yet.

The little girl danced really well.

Of course.

She is not that thin, and she looks different from those dance anchors Zhang Chao has seen before.

But honestly,

It still looks beautiful.

Zhang Chao held the phone and watched with relish.

[Ding, the host stays in the live broadcast room of the anchor Randier for one minute, the sign-in is successful, and a stealth card will be rewarded]

[Invisibility Card: After use, the user can be kept invisible for half an hour, and the invisible state will be released when the user speaks.]

? ? ?

Zhang Chao was startled,

He really didn't expect,

The system actually gave itself such a reward.

Stealth card?

It sounds very interesting, but I don't know if there is a limit on the use period.
