"The two Yuanming Yuan Zodiac animal heads were discovered by a declining aristocratic family in the 1980s. At that time, it was seen that the casters were finished, the surface was also meticulously carved, and the animal fluff was subtle. It is made from a chisel and a forged shape. It is clear and realistic. The key parts of the nose, eyes and ears, as well as the nose and neck folds are very delicate. It is not sloppy and shows a very high level of craftsmanship.Moreover, it The materials used are also very particular. The copper used in it the alloy copper specially made for the court. It contains many precious metals. It is deep in color and contains fine light. It has been weathered for a long time and not rusted. I thought it. It"s not an ordinary copper utensil."
Earl Hill said here, paused and continued. "So, it took £2,000 to buy the two copper beasts.
Later, I checked a lot of information. Only then did they know that this 2 bronze head is the royal thing of the Qing Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, the essence of the Yuanming Yuan garden complex, the bronze statue of the twelve zodiac.
The twelve zodiac signs of the beast head represent the twenty-four hours of the day, is famous in the world."
Chen Rui said, "Hill Earl, forgive me. You know that I am a Chinese, the bronze statue of the animal head of the Yuanming Yuan Zodiac is China"s national treasure, I want to take back these two national treasures that have been lost overseas. I hope that you can transfer the two bronze statues of the 12 Zodiac animals to me."
When Earl Hill heard Chen Rui, he refused Chen Rui request and said, "First of all, these two The bronze statues of the zodiac animals are one of the most important treasures in my collection.
Secondly, the two bronze statues of the beasts show exquisite casters, exquisite design, and extremely high artistic level. The design of the bronze statue of the animal head of the zodiac is from the European artists. The bronze statue has a strong traditional Chinese aesthetic taste and also incorporates the characteristics of Western plastic art. It is a very fine art. I am also like it very much, so I can"t promise you your request, I am sorry, Mr. Chen."
When Chen Rui heard Earl Hill statement, Chen Rui was very disappointed.
Nodded, no more.
After all, the bronze statues of the two zodiac animals are one of the most important treasures in the collection of Earl Hill, plus the bronze statue of the 12th Zodiac animal is a very fine art, Earl Hill is very like it.
The most important Earl Hill is not short of money.
For these three reasons, it is difficult to buy the bronze statue of the animal head of the 12 Zodiac from the Earl of Hill.
"Can i take a photo." Chen Rui made a small request to Earl Hill.
"Please feel free," said Earl Hill.
Chen Rui took out the camera and took a dozen photos of the snake head and the sheep.
Next, under the guidance of Earl Hill, he visited a variety of artworks in his collection.
There are many artworks and fine pieces, all of which are representative, which makes Chen Rui stunned.
This is the heritage of an ancient European family that has been inherited for more than 500 years.
After visiting the collection of Earl Hill.
Chen Rui was arranged in the manor house.
The next day, Chen Rui started early in the morning.
"Mr. Chen, got up."
Several maids waiting on one side handed towels, washbasins, and toiletries.
After washing.
The maid sent breakfast.
a bowl of oatmeal, A few buns, a few pieces of bread.
Very consistent with Chinese eating habits.
"Mr. Chen, Earl Hill has something to do today, can"t entertain you personally. He is very sorry to you. I am entertaining you today." Burke the butler came over, his right hand was placed in front of his abdomen, his left hand was placed behind his waist, said to Chen Rui.
Very gentlemanly style.
"That"s trouble you."
Burke took Chen Rui to the garden of the manor.
This is a French 17th century garden style embroidery flower bed.
The garden is large and consists of several flat, symmetrical geometrical implants with pools and ditches on the axis of symmetry, and the flowers are planted in a regular pattern of hedges that look like beautiful oriental carpets.
Very savvy, people are pleasing to the eye.
Next, Burke came to a house with Chen Rui.
Burke walked in front and pushed the door open.
After Chen Rui followed, walked into the room and saw a huge skeleton in the room at first sight.
Its head is the height of the thin neck, the height of the ground is about 10 meters, the whole body is about 20 meters long, the body is thick, the tail is very long, the four feet are on the ground, and the head stands tall.
"This is a dinosaur fossil?" Chen Rui said in surprise.
Burke said, "Yes, this is a Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil, one of the large dinosaurs, living in the Jura.s.sic.
In this fossil pavilion, in addition to dinosaur fossils, there are birds, insects, fish, amphibians, There are many types of fossils of crawling, mammals and plants.
This is one of the most fossilized fossils in the UK, and this is where the Earl of Hill works."
"The Earl of Hill is a paleontologist." Chen Rui asked.
Burke said, "Yes, Earl Hill is a famous paleontologist in Europe. He has a deep research on biological evolution and the evolution of the original biological form from ocean to land. He is an authoritative scholar in Europe."
Chen Rui nodded.
My heart is pondering.
Earl Hill is a paleontologist, who is sure must be very excited if he know there are Coelacanth fish in Chen Rui. The only surviving species of finfish, only a few dozen fish have found in the world since 1900s.
To get the bronze statue of the animal head of the zodiac from the Earl Hill, you can start with the Coelacanth.
Half a year ago, a pair of male and female Coelacanth in the sea of Eternal Sea Pearl s.p.a.ce had laid eggs, and after a while, more than a dozen juvenile fish could be hatched.
"This is a fossilized dinosaur egg containing embryos. It came to China in the 20nd and 30s of the last century." "This is a nautilus fossil from the Himalayas in the western part of the world. The Himalayas were an ancient Mediterranean as early as 20 million years ago. " "...."
...
