There are many people in the exhibition hall, especially in front of several famous works of art, such as "Venus of Milos", "Mona Lisa", "David", etc. It is a pity that the Louvre sent them for display this time. Most of them are replicas, and they are very perfunctory. Even the granite replicas were not sent. What is displayed here are just some plaster replicas.

Qinling was very disappointed, but even if it is a plaster replica, people can still appreciate a trace of the charm of the original from the sculpture, especially in front of "Venus of Milos", many viewers were praising the beauty of Venus.

Hearing these compliments, Shen Long thought of the jokes he had seen in later generations and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Qin Ling turned his head and said, "Why are you laughing? Isn't this statue good?"

"No, no matter how you look at the whole statue from any angle, you can find some kind of unified and unique beauty. It is just a kind of classical ideal beauty, full of poetry. But when I think of Venus's identity and background, and then look at this It feels awkward to look at the statue, and I can’t look directly at this kind of beauty." Shen Long said.

"Oh? What's so special about Venus' identity and background? Wasn't she born in the foam of sea water?" Qin Ling asked doubtfully. This kind of birth is also full of poetry.

"That's right, but have you ever thought about why she was born in the bubble?" Shen Long held back his laughter and began to popularize ancient Greek mythology to Qinling. The myths and legends of ancient Greece are really too pornographic. Now everyone can see A lot of it is abbreviated, and many key points are not stated.

"This starts from the origin of ancient Greek mythology. In Greek mythology, the earliest god in the universe was Chaos. Chaos created Gaia, the mother of the earth, and Gaia gave birth to the heavenly father Urano. Si..." As Shen Long narrated, more and more people were listening around him, and he was a little embarrassed to talk about the dirty content behind.

"Ouranos is Gaia's son and her husband..." There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd. This news was really exciting. "Ouranos kept venting his desires on Gaia. Gaia was pregnant, but Ouranos was greedy for power and refused to let Gaia give birth to the child, causing a bunch of Gaia's children to be stuffed in her belly."

The faces of many spectators around were turned green. What the hell is this? Even pregnant women are not spared. Little did they know that the more exciting thing was yet to come.

"Neither Gaia nor the children could stand Ouranos, so she asked Cronus, the child in her belly, to grab Uranus from her body while Ouranos was violating her and cut him with a knife. Come down." These words made all the male listeners feel a chill in their crotches. My son castrated his father? Isn't this too cruel? And where did this knife come from?

"Ouranos, who had lost those words, jumped up from Gaia because of the severe pain, so heaven and earth separated, and the world was born. In Greek mythology, this is how the world was created." The audience looked at each other, compared to this, They seem to be more willing to accept the theory that Pangu created the world.

"What are you talking about? What does this have to do with Venus?" Qin Ling couldn't bear to listen.

"Don't worry, we'll talk about Venus soon." Shen Long continued, "After Ouranos and Gaia separated, those children could finally come out. Cronus was the first to come out, still holding the He thought Ouranos's words were not elegant, so he threw them into the sea. Unexpectedly, after the words fell into the sea, a large number of bubbles suddenly appeared, and a beautiful woman was born from the sea. This is Aphrodite is the Venus we see now."

To put it simply, Venus, the most beautiful woman in the world, was actually transformed into Tintin. As soon as she finished speaking, the audience surrounding the statue of Venus immediately stepped back involuntarily, and several of them were watching. The woman in the statue quickly turned her head. If you say that, am I looking at a big penis?

"You ruined all my beautiful imaginations about Venus!" Qin Ling was speechless at him and quickly pulled him aside. If he stayed here any longer, he would be beaten to death by the audience. It wasn't just Qin Ling he had offended. A person who didn't look at the way the audience looked at him was wrong.

After walking a few steps, they saw Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun standing in front of the painting "The Death of Marat". Zheng Tong was having a heated argument with a teacher about who was the hero, Marat or Corday.

The teacher believed that Marat was the real hero, but Zheng Tong believed that Charlotte Corday was the one who assassinated Marat. He used his abundant knowledge reserves to refute the teacher as useless.

Shen Long actually disagreed with both of their views. The teacher only knew how to follow the textbook and praised Mara according to the explanations in the textbook. Zheng Tong's support for Kedai's views was a bit bookish and entirely from an intellectual perspective. , and ignored the people at the bottom who supported Marat.

Shen Long actually didn't like Marat either. The reason was somewhat different from Zheng Tong. In addition to being a doctor and a revolutionary, Marat was also a civilian scientist. He wrote several articles on the phlogiston theory and was regarded as the founder of modern chemistry. Lavoisier's criticism was useless; after Marat came to power, Lavoisier was brought to court. After Marat's death, Lavoisier was executed. This incident can be compared with the Roman soldiers who killed Archimedes. , are all huge losses to human science.

"Is this painting an original?" Qin Ling was not interested in their argument and turned to study the painting seriously.

"It's not the original work. The original work of "The Death of Marat" is in the Belgian Art Museum, and the one in the Louvre is just a copy." Shen Long replied. At this time, Zheng Tong's argument was over. Shen Long waved to them, The four of them left the exhibition hall together.

Although the four of them were in the same capital, they rarely met each other. Since they met this time, they found a place to sit down and chat. Shen Long learned that Zheng Tong was currently doing research at the Institute of History of the Academy of Social Sciences, and Jiang Biyun was in a middle school. Be a Chinese teacher.

Hearing that Shen Long had obtained a doctorate degree made Zheng Tong a little envious. As they chatted, they talked about Zhong Yuemin. Zheng Tong told Shen Long that Zhong Yuemin came back to visit relatives some time ago. They originally discussed that everyone should get together. Who I once thought that Zhong Yuemin only stayed for one day before he was urgently called back by the army.

Shen Long thought for a while, maybe it was the mission that led to Wu Mandun's death. He felt a little guilty in his heart. Ning Wei also participated in this mission, and he didn't know if something would happen to him.
