C2987 Forty Landscapes of the Yuan Ming Yuan (1/2)

This was the year of the dryad, which was the year when the dryad Emperor ascended the throne. She specially ordered the painter of the Forbidden City's Ru Yi Hall, Leng Mei, to paint the picture of the Yuan Ming Yuan according to the description of the thirty-six scenes depicted by Kang Xi's Summer Palace.

Although it was only forty years old, it still took a full eleven years to complete. It was clear that this wasn't an easy feat!

The value of this set of forty picture scrolls was not only due to its artistic value, but also because this was the only set in the world. The dryad did not allow it to be copied or even copied!

That was to say, this set of paintings was not very famous at the time. They were a typical collection of the royal family, and not many people in the public knew about them.

The Yuan Ming Yuan was a garden of the imperial family. Ordinary citizens were definitely not allowed to step foot there! Since he could not see the picture book nor the actual scene of the Yuan Ming Yuan, it did not matter if he had to create a fake one!

In fact, many of the painters and collectors did not even know that such a set of books existed!

At the end of the nineteenth century, the reputation of this set of paintings was not high, the real fame had to wait until the end of the twentieth century, because due to the photographic technique becoming more and more mature, high definition photographic technology started to be popularized.

It was discovered by a Chinese traveler in 1928 and brought back to China a black and white photographic negative.

In other words, until 1928, other than the seniors of the Beijing, the millions of citizens in China did not know what the legendary Yuan Ming Yuan looked like!

In 2004, China had spent millions of dollars to buy a color photographic copy of Yuan Ming Yuan's 40 scenes. Only then did people know how beautiful the colorful Yuan Ming Yuan was!

The left side of the Ghost Eye did not have the chance to see such a precious collection of the palace's treasures, but he knew that such a lone edition picture book existed in this world.

Even though he had never seen it before, he had seen his disciple, Man Shun, before.

Ten years ago, Man Shun had just entered the palace, and his memory was at its peak. The few scenes he drew were extremely classic, and it could be said that the left side of his ghost eye was photographic!

Today, this Ghost Eye Magistrate with 2.0 eyesight accidentally saw someone in the Suez Canal drying the picture book. Based on his rich experience, he concluded that this was the real item and it was definitely not fake!

The left side was very sure, because he was very clear that this set of paintings did not have any counterfeit goods. This was because almost all the counterfeiters in Great Qing had never heard of this set of paintings before, not even those experts of the capital, who had copied the fake paintings, had heard of it!

Who could fake a 'non-existent' Famous Painting? Therefore, what this ship was drying was definitely the real deal!

And this ship had a British flag, so there was only one conclusion. In order to ensure their safety, the galley had secretly forged the identity certificate of the ship, and had even changed to a British flag in an attempt to get away with it!

Don't look at how the Ghost Eye left side was kidnapped in the beginning. He was extremely unhappy about it, but when CIA told him his real intentions, his heart was already shaken.

Xiao Letian had once met the left of the Ghost Eye before, and the leader had also bought some antiques from him!

Because of this little bit of fate, the Head of the Guards asked Ghost Eye to come to Europe to appraise the treasures. However, the CIA had very strict rules and did not directly speak out with the left pumilus, which was why they had clashed with him!

The Chinese Army raised his head and the Leader wanted to snatch back the legendary treasures of the Chinese people!
