Chapter 57: Venus and Mara

There are many people in the exhibition hall, especially in front of those famous artworks, such as "The Venus of Milos", "Mona Lisa", "David", etc. Unfortunately, the Louvre sent it to the exhibition Most of them are replicas, and they are very perfunctory. Even the replicas of granite are not sent, and only some plaster replicas are placed here.
Disappointed Qin Ling, but even if it is a plaster copy, people can still appreciate the charm of the original from the sculpture, especially in front of "The Venus of Milos", many audiences are admiring the beauty of Venus.
Hearing these admirations, Shen Long remembered the paragraph he saw in later generations. He couldn't help but laugh out loudly, and Qin Ling turned his head, "What's laughing? Is this statue bad?"
"No, no matter what angle you look at, the whole statue can find a unified and unique beauty. It is just a classicist ideal beauty, full of poetry. Just when I think of Venus' identity background, look at this Zun statue feels awkward, a bit unable to look directly at this beauty. "Shen Long said.
"Oh? What is the special background of Venus' identity? Isn't she born in the foam of sea water?" Qin Ling asked doubtfully, this birth is also full of poetry.
"That's right, but have you ever wondered why she was born in a bubble?" Shen Long began to spread the ancient Greek mythology to Qinling with a smile. The mythology and legend of ancient Greece is really too yellow. Now everyone sees a lot All of them are reduced costs, and many key points are not mentioned.
"This is going to start from the source of ancient Greek mythology. In Greek mythology, the earliest in the universe was Kaos, which created Gaia, the mother of the earth, and Gaia gave birth to Heavenly Father Urano. "..." With Shen Long's narration, there are more and more people listening around, he is a little embarrassed to talk about the dirty content behind.
"Uranos is Gaia's son, and her husband ..." The crowd exclaimed for a while, the news was a little too exciting, "Uranos kept venting his desires on Gaia, Gaia is pregnant, but Uranos is greedy for power and refuses to let Gaia give birth to the child, causing Gaia's bunch of children to be blocked in his stomach. "
Many of the audience's faces are green, what are these things? Not even pregnant women let go? They know that the more exciting is still behind,
"Neither Gaia nor the children could bear Uranus, so she let the child Kronos in her stomach take Uranus from her body while Uranos violated her, and cut it with a knife. Come down. "These words heard the male audience crotch, the son castrated his father? Is this too cruel? And where did this knife come from?
"Uranus, who lost that word, jumped from Gaia because of the pain, so the world was separated, and the world was born. In Greek mythology, the world was created in this way." The audience looked at each other, and compared with this, They seem to be more willing to accept Pangu Kaitiandi.
"What do you say? What does this have to do with Venus?" Qin Ling couldn't hear it anymore.
"Don't worry, it's about Venus immediately." Shen Long continued, "After Uranos and Gaia separated, those children could finally come out, Kronos came out first, still holding Taking Ulanos's words, he felt unsightly, and 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. Aphrodite, the Venus we see now. "
In simple terms, it is Venus, the most beautiful woman in the world. In fact, Tintin changed. The voice just fell. The audience around the Venus statue instantly retreated backward, and a few were watching. The female of the statue quickly twisted her head, so I am not looking at a big Tintin?
"You ruined all my beautiful imagination of Venus!" Qin Ling was speechless to him, and quickly pulled him to the side, and stayed here must be beaten to death by the audience. He was not only offended by Qin Ling just now. A person who didn't look at the eyes of those who listened to him was wrong.
After a few steps, they saw Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun standing in front of the painting "Death of Mara". Zheng Tongzheng and a teacher started a heated debate on the topic of Mara and Kodai as heroes.
Teacher thinks Mara is the real hero, but Zheng Tong believes that Charlotte-Cordé who assassinated Mara is the one who used his abundant knowledge reserve to refute the teachers for nothing.
Shen Long actually disagrees with their views. The teacher only understood how to teach the subject and praised Mara according to the explanations in the textbook. UU read the book www.uukanshu.com and Zheng Tong supported Kedai ’s view, but some of them were angry. Starting from the perspective of intellectuals, and ignoring those who support Marathi people.
Shen Long actually does n’t like Marathi, because the reason is somewhat different from Zheng Tong. Marathon is a civil subject besides the identities of doctors and revolutionaries. He has written several articles on phlogiston theory and was founder of modern chemistry. Lavoisier criticized it for nothing; after Mara took power, he was brought to court, and after his death, Lavoisier was executed. This is comparable to the Roman soldier who killed Archimedes. , Is a huge loss of human science.
"Is this painting the 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" Marath's Death "is in the Belgian Art Museum. The Louvre is only a replica." Shen Long replied, and Zheng Tong's argument ended now. Shen Long waved to them. Four people came out of the exhibition hall together.
Although the four people were in the 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 is now doing research at the Institute of Social Sciences, Jiang Biyun in a middle school Be a language teacher.
Hearing that Shen Long had obtained his Ph.D. degree, Zheng Tong was envious. He talked about Zhong Yuemin after talking. Zheng Tong told Shen Long that Zhong Yuemin came back to visit relatives some time ago. Zeng Xiang Zhong Yuemin stayed for a day and was called back urgently by the troops.
Shen Long thought for a while, maybe it was the mission that led to Wu Mantun ’s sacrifice. He was guilty in his heart, and Ning Wei also participated in this mission. I do n’t know if he would have an accident.
I had n’t worried about it for a few days. Shen Long got news from home. Ning Wei came back to find him. Shen Long made a whisper in his heart and quickly put down the matter at hand. He went home to see Ning Wei.
