Chapter 909: Are you teasing her? !
The tour guide Xiao Yan took Su Xing and four others on a tour while explaining the tour.
"Everyone, look at this 'Double-headed Snake-bodied Wooden Figurine' sculpture. It was created based on wooden cultural relics from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period unearthed in Guangling. This sculpture has a profound meaning. The two heads symbolize the two museums. At the same time, it is also our museum logo. Regarding this shape, it is said that it represents Fuxi and Nuwa in mythology, implying endless life...
Let's go to the Guangling History Museum first, and start the history review of Guangling from here. The floor of the prologue hall is covered with a huge satellite remote sensing map of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, so that everyone can intuitively feel Guangling's special geographical location of 'south of the Huai River, north of the river, and west of the sea'.
Here, we can see the statue of King Fuchai of Wu, who opened the Han Canal and built the Han City, as well as the Wu Gou Yue Sword. These cultural relics bear witness to the wars between the vassal states at that time, and also reflect the excellent smelting and craftsmanship of the Han people..."
Su Xing listened to the explanation carefully, and kept taking pictures with the camera in his hand.
The students in her group also listened very carefully and asked questions to the tour guide Xiao Yan from time to time.
Xiao Yan had a very good service attitude and answered some questions for everyone in between his explanations.
"Now, we have come to the National Treasure Museum, which only houses one cultural relic, the treasure of our Guangling Shuangmiao Museum - a Yuan Dynasty blue-glazed plum vase with white dragon pattern!
This plum vase is 43.5 cm high, 5.5 cm in diameter, 25.3 cm in maximum belly diameter, and 14 cm in bottom diameter. It is a large blue-glazed porcelain from the Jingdezhen kiln in the Yuan Dynasty. The whole body is covered with blue glaze, and the dragon and the pearl are covered with blue-white glaze. The two glaze colors are in sharp contrast. The main pattern depicts a dragon chasing a flaming pearl, and is lined with four flame-shaped cloud patterns like floating coral branches. The dragon's head is tilted up, its horns are slightly tilted back, its eyes are protruding, and its mouth is open and its tongue is sticking out, as if it is flying in the sky. It is magnificent and has a strong artistic appeal, fully reflecting the highest firing level of the Jingdezhen kiln in the Yuan Dynasty.
It is worth mentioning that there are only three such Yuan Dynasty blue-glazed plum bottles with white dragon patterns handed down. One is an old collection of the imperial court and is now in the Summer Palace in Beijing, but it is damaged; one is in the Guimet Museum in Paris, France, and the glaze surface at the dragon head has obvious defects; and the one in our Guangling Shuangbo Museum is not only the largest in size, but also the best preserved and the most exquisitely decorated. It was rated as a national treasure by the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee in 1992, and it can be said to be the best among plum bottles.
In this nearly 200-square-meter exhibition hall, this collection is displayed alone and enjoys special treatment. The display cabinet is equipped with temperature and humidity control and security alarm equipment, and there is a cordon around it, which shows how precious it is..."
Tourists gathered around the plum vase, exclaiming in amazement.
The several student tourists brought by Xiao Yan all stared with wide eyes, admiring this exquisite national treasure and taking photos non-stop.
Su Xing was no exception. He held up his camera and took many close-up photos of the plum vase from various angles.
Two hours later, Xiao Yan's explanation service ended.
All four of them expressed satisfaction with Xiao Yan's service.
Su Xing looked at the time. It was already noon. She waved goodbye to the three people in the group tour and left the two museums first, preparing to have lunch.
She found a local restaurant nearby and went in.
Guangling cuisine belongs to the Huaiyang cuisine.
Su Xing ordered some of the restaurant's signature dishes: braised lion's head with crab meat, Guangling three-piece duck, boiled dried shredded pork, stir-fried tiger tail, sweet and sour spare ribs, etc., and also ordered a bowl of Guangling fried rice.
The auntie who was taking notes on the dishes saw that Su Xing ordered so many, and asked her curiously: "Little sister, are you waiting for others?"
It was the first time that Su Xing heard the title of "Little Sister". She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm not waiting for anyone, I'm alone."
Auntie said: "You ordered too much. You can't finish it."
Su Xing said: "I have a good appetite, I can finish it."
After hearing this, the aunt stopped persuading her.
Su Xing waited for a while, and the food was served on the table one after another.
She tasted each dish one by one. They were light in flavor but mostly fresh and delicious, which was not bad. The only difference was that the sweet and sour spareribs were a little too sweet. She still preferred the sweet and sour spareribs with a moderate sweet and sour taste.
Guangling fried rice is pretty good, the grains are loose, the texture is just the right amount of soft and hard, the ingredients are diverse, and the colors make people appetizing.
When he was almost done with a serving of fried rice, Su Xing waved to the aunt again, "Hello, I'd like to order another serving of Guangling fried rice."
The aunt came over and looked at the fried rice that Su Xing had almost finished. The other dishes had also been eaten a lot by the little girl. She couldn't help but widen her eyes.
She was stunned for a moment before she responded, "Oh, okay."
After Su Xing ate and drank his fill, he wiped his mouth, and got up to go to the bar to pay the bill.
After paying the bill, she turned around and saw the auntie standing not far away, talking to another waiter, and both of them were looking at her.
wake:"……"
She was a little suspicious, wondering if the aunt was asking her colleague if she could eat crickets.
Definitely is!
She had a wooden face, subconsciously straightened her back, and walked out of the restaurant.
in the afternoon.
Su Xing came to Guangling Shuangmiao Museum again.
She put on a mask and entered the museum.
Then she walked to the service desk.
Xiao Yan had just finished his meal and returned to work.
He was stunned when he saw a familiar girl walking towards him.
Su Xing saw Xiao Yan looking at her, so she smiled at him and said, “I also need a guide to tell me about some cultural relics that I didn’t talk about this morning. Please explain, Xiao Yan. Can I ask you to continue to serve me?”
Xiao Yan came back to his senses, smiled and nodded, "Of course."
Xiao Yan served Su Xing alone for the rest of the afternoon. He took her to visit the exhibition hall again and explained some cultural relics that were not mentioned in the morning.
However, the Guangling Museum has more than 30,000 collections, and the Woodblock Printing Museum has more than 100,000 pieces of ancient book woodblocks. Together, there are more than 100,000 cultural relics. It is impossible to explain all of them in one day.
Xiao Yan still picked out representative and important cultural relics to explain to Su Xing.
Xiao Yan’s service finally ended when the museum was almost closing time.
Su Xing said: "Thank you for your hard work today."
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "You're welcome. This is my job."
Su Xing waved goodbye to the other party and left the museum.
She found another restaurant, had dinner, and then strolled towards the hotel.
When passing by a stall selling Guangling old geese, Su Xing stopped and bought a whole old goose, intending to take it back to the hotel for a midnight snack.
After Su Xing returned to the hotel, she sent a message to Director Qi of Guangling Shuangmiao Museum who had contacted her online.
Is it okay not to wake up: "Hello, Director Qi, I have arrived in Guangling. Is it convenient for me to visit the Shuang Museum tomorrow?"
Tomorrow is Monday, and all major museums in our country are closed on Mondays.
However, when Su Xing communicated with the other party before, she asked if she could visit the museum on Monday, and the other party said yes.
Su Xing would rather have an immersive visit to the cultural relics and take good photos when there are fewer people around.
