Chapter 608

"Xiang Fangyang, I really warmly invite you to see my other collections; are you really unwilling to go?"

The collector felt that he hadn't finished showing off; he wanted to show off one more time.

Xiang Fangyang looked at the collector's expression, a bit of embarrassment appearing in his eyes.

He could feel how expectant the collector's gaze was, and that he sincerely wanted to continue showing off, but he felt that the collector in front of him was truly a chatterbox, and he couldn't handle it.

He couldn't help but raise his hand and cough twice.

Then, Xiang Fangyang said very seriously to the collector in front of him: "I strongly suggest that you can introduce your cultural relics directly on some livestreaming platforms. I believe there will definitely be many people who are very interested."

After saying this, Xiang Fangyang smiled and then turned and left.

The cameraman and the driver quickly ate a little more food and then followed Xiang Fangyang to leave.

576. Classic of Mountains and Seas Museum, childhood thoughts! (Seeking full subscription)

They actually wanted to stay longer, but Xiang Fangyang was unwilling, so they could only let the matter drop.

"By the way, Brother, there is a very wonderful museum in this city called the Classic of Mountains and Seas Museum. I want to go take a look. Brother, why don't we go together?"

The cameraman very enthusiastically invited Xiang Fangyang.

"We were acting together from the start; we can't just leave you here alone."

Looking at the other person's attitude, Xiang Fangyang couldn't help but find it a bit funny.

"I thought you were planning to go back and rest immediately, Brother."

"Going back to rest immediately is because that situation was really tiring, very tiring for me, and I would want to rest; that is also a very natural thing." When Xiang Fangyang said this, his tone paused obviously: "If I said I wasn't tired at all, not only not tired, but even felt very good, then I would be lying."

Hearing Xiang Fangyang's words, the cameraman couldn't help but let out a dry laugh.

And soon, they didn't continue to discuss this matter, because they felt it was completely unnecessary.

"This place is a bit of a distance from the city center; it's in the suburbs."

The cameraman was incredibly excited about the place he was going to; one could see that he was truly very happy now.

Seeing the other person's happy appearance, Xiang Fangyang found it a bit funny, but he didn't say much more about it.

He just nodded slightly to indicate he understood.

The driver was driving in the front, and he also seemed to look a bit happy.

"Do you also like those divine beasts and monsters in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

With the driver looking this happy, it was hard not to have a few more thoughts.

"Yes, I like them very much." The driver nodded slightly, his gaze fixed straight ahead: "When I was a child, I thought that there were really gods, ghosts, and monsters in this world, so divine beasts naturally existed as well."

"I guess it's not just you who thought that; most children have such thoughts when they are young."

"……"

In the car, they kept discussing various things about this, and soon their topic was finished.

And after about 20 minutes, they finally arrived at their destination.

When they arrived at the place, they first gained some written understanding of this museum before they started the exhibition.

For the people in the livestream room, Xiang Fangyang now looked completely like a tour guide.

"We just gained some written understanding, but I'm afraid everyone is still not very clear about this, so now I will explain it to you."

"This museum, it is said that its curator spent 8 years and exhausted his family fortune, all to show us all some of the ancient Chinese people's view of the universe and nature."

Xiang Fangyang's words were interrupted by someone just as he said this.

Originally, Xiang Fangyang thought that the one who interrupted him must be the cameraman, but he didn't expect it to be the driver who spoke.

And the driver's attitude was very serious.

"Speaking of which, the establishment of the Xiang Fangyang Museum seemed particularly smooth, without encountering any obstacles."

The driver's appearance looked like he was reminiscing.

Xiang Fangyang looked at the other person's appearance and found it a bit funny: "That's right, it really didn't encounter any obstacles. It might be because I have been receiving support from the state and help from others during the establishment process, so it seemed very smooth during the establishment process."

The driver only said this one sentence, then closed his mouth and didn't continue speaking.

577. All things begin in chaos, um, soy-braised pork knuckle? (Seeking full subscription)

Xiang Fangyang glanced at the driver and then swept a glance at the cameraman, then continued to give some introductions to the people in the livestream room: "We always say that all things begin in chaos, so what exactly is chaos?"

"There is an introduction in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the one behind me is chaos."

"This chaos, its whole body is bright red."

"It is said that it can emit golden light and is as red as fire."

"And the characteristics of chaos are that it has 4 wings and 6 legs, but no face."

"This is a very magical monster, but this chaos is skilled at singing and dancing."

Speaking of this, Xiang Fangyang smiled: "Do you think it's very interesting?"

"Let's take a look at this symbol of desire, Taotie."

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas says that Taotie looks like a sheep, its eyes are under its armpits, and it also has a tiger's claws."

"And the characteristics of Taotie are greed for money and food."

"……"

Seeing these divine beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Xiang Fangyang couldn't help but give various explanations to the people in the livestream room, and the people in the livestream room listened with great interest.

"Since ancient times, we have already conducted various studies on these divine beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

"They would involve these divine beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas in poetry, articles, or some written records."

"Let's take another example; everyone think carefully about the large tripod used to hold food in ancient times."

"If there were any animal images on the large tripod, the one standing upright would inevitably be Taotie."

Xiang Fangyang had been speaking seriously, and the more he spoke, the more interesting he felt it was.

"Look at this monster with a snake's head, a fish's body, and six legs."

"When you see this, your first feeling must be that it is very ugly, right?"

"The name of this monster is the Ranyi fish. Legend has it that if one eats the meat of this Ranyi fish, one can avoid nightmares and even prevent disasters."

"……"

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas is a very interesting mythological story; behind every divine beast, there are actually various metaphors."

"If you are interested, you can go and learn more about these stories in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

……

——【I always thought chaos described an environment; I didn't expect it to be an animal.】

——【How should I put it, that chaos looks like a soy-braised pork knuckle.】

——【Chaos is actually equivalent to dark matter in the universe.】

——【Chinese culture has a long history; there is still a lot, a lot that we need to understand.】

——【This is the first time I've felt that the Classic of Mountains and Seas is very interesting; Xiang Fangyang's explanation is much more interesting than reading those dry texts.】

——【Every piece of culture and every record in our history has meaning.】

——【Could the divine beasts recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas be primitive creatures that were in the early and middle stages of evolution and hadn't fully evolved, and thus couldn't be classified accurately?】

——【Maybe they are creatures that have already disappeared from the Earth?】

——【I suddenly feel it's very interesting. I read a novel before that contained some prehistoric civilization animals that had all kinds of strange shapes. That author directly adopted the various divine beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. I don't know why, but I suddenly feel that everything described in that author's book might have really happened in reality, only because there was a civilization gap, and then they completely disappeared, just like some animals that are on the verge of extinction.】

——【This museum is really very interesting; I want to go see it too.】

578. Why aren't you working overtime? Ancient people's imagination! (Seeking full subscription)

——【I am a local; I have been here many times before, and every time I feel incredibly shocked. I highly recommend everyone to come to this Classic of Mountains and Seas Museum to take a look.】

——【Is it really worth a visit? The explanation is so good, and many locals say it's highly recommended to take a look. I really want to go, but I'm also very hesitant.】

——【I sincerely suggest you go take a look; it's really great! Everyone who has been there says it's good!】

——【Haha, upstairs, why do you look like you're advertising?】

——【That chaos's wings look like they're just for play; they're so small, I guess it can't even fly.】

——【Uh, that whatever fish... couldn't the snake head be bigger and connect directly to the body? This seems a bit abrupt, like a graft.】

——【Then the question arises: with chaos being chubby and having small wings, how exactly did it fly?】

——【You don't need to ask about this; the person who created it said it could fly, so it could fly.】

——【It might not be able to fly; it just grew wings to act cute.】

——【This museum is really very interesting; I must go when I'm on vacation.】

——【I just wanted to see Qiongqi, but Xiang Fangyang just gave a simple introduction and walked past it. Can't you talk about it in detail?】

——【Yes, Qiongqi is still very famous in history; can't you give it a minute of introduction time?】
