Then, Ye Chen winked at him, which meant: You piece of shit, I really don't know how to blow it, you should do it yourself.
Although Zhang Ermao was frightened by the astronomical figures that Ye Chen was talking about just now, he is still an old liar who has been in the antique street for many years and has very rich practical experience, so he quickly adapted to this routine.
So he chuckled and quickly said to Bernard Ernault: "Mr. Ernault, the painting I introduced to you today can be said to be enough to shock the entire Eastern and Western painting circles!"
After that, he said: "Everyone knows that Leonardo da Vinci began to create the Mona Lisa in 1500 AD, but let me tell you, this painting is not actually Da Vinci's original work, it is It was done by a great Chinese painter named Zhao Mengfu (fu) in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty."
Before he finished speaking, he pointed to the painting in Ye Chen's hand and said seriously: "Here, it's the one in Master Ye's hand! And the one painted by Da Vinci was copied and modified based on this one. The second creation, to put it harshly, is plagiarism.”
Bernard Ernault was about to burst into tears and blurted out: "Is this possible?! Leonardo da Vinci is my most admired master, and his Mona Lisa is also a masterpiece. How could it be plagiarism!"
Zhang Ermao had a serious look on his face and said seriously: "Look, this has touched on your cognitive blind spot! Let me tell you, this painting was painted by Mr. Zhao Mengfu under the order of Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty. The approximate creation time should be at the end of 1275 AD, more than two hundred years earlier than Leonardo da Vinci. Isn’t it obvious who copied whom?”
"That's nonsense!" Bernard Ernault said angrily: "This is absolutely impossible! And see for yourself, the woman in your painting also has a Western face! How could there be a Western-faced woman in China at that time? ?!What do you have to say about such a big bug?”
Zhang Ermao didn't panic at all, he smiled, and said quickly: "So you have to be patient and listen to me introduce the situation! In the year 1275 AD, a major event with far-reaching consequences occurred in the history of the world. Do you know it? What?"
Bernard Ernault said angrily: "I don't know!"
Zhang Ermao said very seriously: "Mr. Erno, I'm not telling you, you can't just make money. You should also read more and understand history occasionally."
After finishing speaking, regardless of Bernard Ernault's expression of almost vomiting blood, he said with a profound expression: "Let me tell you, this is the year 1275 AD, which is the time when the famous Western traveler Marco Polo arrived in China!"
After that, Zhang Ermao looked at Bernard Ailnault and asked: "You should know about "Marco Polo's Travels", right?"
Bernard Ernault was going crazy and gritted his teeth and said: "I know! But what does this have to do with the Mona Lisa!"
Zhang Ermao shook his head and sighed: "It's true that those who don't know are fearless."
After finishing speaking, he continued to explain: "Let me tell you, Marco Polo went through all kinds of hardships and came to Yuan Dynasty in the summer of 1275, and was warmly received by Kublai Khan."
"In order to promote cultural exchanges between the East and the West, Kublai Khan ordered Zhao Mengfu, a famous painter at the time, to demonstrate our superb Chinese painting skills to Marco Polo and his party."
"At that time, Marco Polo happened to have a maid named Mona Lisa by his side!"
"Mr. Zhao Mengfu used this maid as a model to create this painting!"
"The entire creation lasted half a year, from the summer of 1275 to the winter of 1275."
Speaking of this, Zhang Ermao couldn't help but sigh: "At that time, Kublai Khan gave this painting to Marco Polo. Marco Polo really regarded it as a treasure and kept it with him until he brought it back to the West. Unfortunately, Marco Polo returned to the West. Later, he went to jail because of the turmoil, and the painting was lost in the turmoil."
"Two hundred years later, this painting passed into the hands of Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci was deeply inspired after reading it and imitated it day and night for more than ten years before he created the version of the Mona Lisa that is known to the world!"
"After his painting was completed, he gave the Mona Lisa painted by Zhao Mengfu to his servants to burn. His servants couldn't bear the destruction of such a masterpiece, so Only then did he quietly give it to his relatives, and then this painting was passed down!"
Having said this, Zhang Ermao looked at Bernard Ernault and asked seriously: "Mr. Ernault, do you understand now?"
