Hearing that Lin Musheng and Su Jinyue were going to the museum, the doctor who was traveling with them also wanted to go with them, so everyone got on the bus arranged by the hotel and headed towards the National Museum of Japan.
The museum has four exhibition halls, namely the Main Hall, the Oriental Hall, the Hyokeikan Hall and the Horyu-ji Treasure Hall, with a total of 43 exhibition halls, an exhibition area of more than 14,000 square meters, and approximately 110,000 collections.
The museum has 20 exhibition rooms, displaying Japanese sculptures, dyeing and weaving, metalwork, weapons, swords, ceramics, calligraphy and painting, architectural components and other exhibits according to the era.
Hyokeikan is a building built in the late Meiji period to commemorate the marriage of the then Crown Prince. It has been listed as an "Important Cultural Property" and opened in 1909. It has 9 exhibition rooms, mainly displaying stone tools, Jomon pottery, Yayoi pottery, tsuchiwa, Han-style mirrors, bronze bells, ceramics and other treasures.
The Horyu-ji Treasure Museum specializes in exhibiting various treasures donated by Horyu-ji Temple to the imperial court in the early Meiji period. Because the collection is extremely precious, it is only open at specified times.
The Oriental Pavilion displays Egyptian art, West Asian art, Southeast Asian art, Chinese art, Korean art, and Western Region art, and exhibits artworks and archaeological relics from various countries and regions in the East except Japan.
The Chinese artworks on display occupy a total of five exhibition halls. The exhibits include prehistoric stone tools and painted pottery, bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, pottery and stone reliefs from the Han Dynasty, Buddhist statues from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, gold and silver wares and sancai from the Tang Dynasty, porcelain and calligraphy and paintings from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, etc.
The hotel staff who accompanied Su Jinyue and her group introduced the museum to everyone as they walked.
Hearing that so many Chinese cultural relics were lost in Japan, everyone felt extremely heavy-hearted.
"Let's go to the Oriental Pavilion," Lin Musheng said solemnly. It was such a tragedy to see China's treasures, but they weren't in China, but in a distant foreign country.
When Su Jinyue and his group arrived at the China Art Museum, there were only a few people in the exhibition hall.
The collections are all locked in glass cabinets with the most advanced technology locks. Once someone breaks the lock forcibly, the alarm will automatically sound.
Looking at the items that originally belonged to China, everyone felt more and more depressed.
"I don't know when these magnificent art treasures will return to our country." Wei Qiming looked at the exhibits in the glass cabinet and sighed deeply.
"We will all go back one day. This time we will take the bronze acupuncture man back with us, and then we will slowly take back our things one by one later." Feng Zheng's eyes flashed with determination.
"I have to go back one by one."
"Yes, everyone must go back." The doctors who were traveling with him shouted indignantly.
Several foreign men who were admiring the cultural relics nearby were startled by the shouting of the crowd.
"Oh! These Chinese people are crazy. They don't know how immoral it is to make a scene in a museum."
"Doctor Jack, aren't they the Chinese medical team attending this medical exchange meeting?" Another foreign man recognized Lin Musheng in the crowd. It was Lin Musheng who hosted him the last time he visited China.
"So it was them, a bunch of unremarkable Chinese monkeys." Jack curled his lips in disdain. He had always looked down on the Chinese, so much so that at the last international medical conference, he had proposed that Chinese medicine be expelled from Europe. In his view, Chinese medicine was nothing more than witchcraft, devoid of any scientific basis. Chinese medicine was even more of a joke, plucking weeds and calling them medicine. They were lucky they hadn't been poisoned to death.
"Doctor Jack, should we go over and say hello?" Jameson asked. We were all here for this medical exchange meeting, so since we'd met, it was only natural to go over and say hello.
"Are they worthy? Let's go to the next exhibition room." Jack said sarcastically and walked towards another exhibition hall.
Su Jinyue looked at the foreign men who were leaving and moved her fingers slightly.
Jack stumbled and rushed forward uncontrollably, bumping heavily into the glass of an exhibit.
Before Jack could react, alarms rang all around him. Then he saw a group of policemen armed with Japanese weapons rushing in quickly and surrounding Jack and his group.
"Sorry! We were careless." Jameson explained quickly.
Jack felt pain and embarrassment, and waved his hands with a red face, "I didn't mean to do it, please believe me." He really didn't know why he suddenly fell forward, and he still felt dazed.
"Gentlemen, please follow us to the office." The leading policeman said in a deep voice.
Jack and the others could only nod helplessly and followed the police outside. This time they were really embarrassed.
"That looks like Dr. Jameson and Dr. Jack." A middle-aged doctor in the medical team recognized Jack and Jameson who were taken away.
"Dr. Jack is an authority in neurology. I saw a report about him in a medical journal last year," said another doctor.
Jack blushed even more ashamedly when he heard the medical team's discussions. Although he didn't like Chinese, he had studied Chinese. He enjoyed learning languages and felt that learning more than one language was beneficial. At least he wouldn't need a translator when traveling abroad.
Because of an accident, this exhibition hall was temporarily closed, and Su Jinyue and his group could only visit other exhibition rooms.
When leaving the exhibition hall, Su Jinyue took a look at the exhibits in the exhibition room and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Back at the hotel, Su Jinyue entered her room and immediately took out her materials to begin crafting replicas of the exhibits she remembered. She had originally considered using a sleight of hand, but sleight of hand was limited in duration, while replicas could be a permanent solution. She often refined formation flags, so crafting simple magical instruments was no problem for her, let alone simple replicas.
"Fourth sister, why are you doing this?" Su Mucheng looked at Su Jinyue's actions curiously.
"You'll know in a moment." Su Jinyue's hands kept moving, and one lifelike object after another quickly took shape in her hands.
"This is the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln celadon wheel flower bowl that we saw in the museum today. It really looks like it! Even the patterns on it are exactly the same. Fourth sister, you are not going to use these imitations to exchange for the precious ones, are you?" Su Mucheng guessed.
"Smart!" Su Jinyue praised with a smile.
"When are you going? Do you need my help?" Su Mucheng's eyes flashed with excitement.
"I'm enough on my own. Too many people would easily alert the enemy," Su Jinyue said. She had previously observed the museum's exhibition halls and found that the exhibits were surrounded by densely packed infrared ray ports, which could trigger infrared rays if not carefully observed.
