近来,一段名为《逃出大英博物馆》的视频火了。网络上流传着相关剧照和台词,令网友纷纷围观。
A video series namedEscape from the British Museumwas released on Wednesday, with its trailer having sparked a lot of discussion in China's social media recently.
据介绍,《逃出大英博物馆》是两位网络博主拍摄的3集系列短片,讲述的是一盏中国玉壶“逃出”大英博物馆寻找回国之路的故事。
Directed by two Chinese vloggers, the three-episode series tells the story of how a Chinese cultural relic escapes from the British Museum and finds its way back to China.
其中,女博主@夏天妹妹噢 扮演了拟人化的“玉壶”,另一位男博主@煎饼果崽-则扮演帮助她返回中国的记者。
In the video series, a female vlogger plays the role of an ancient Chinese jade teapot, while her male partner is a journalist who helps the artifact return to China.
近来,经历藏品被盗、馆长辞职的英国大英博物馆备受全球关注。而由于有众多来自中国的文物,大英博物馆的动态也刷屏国内的社交媒体。
据统计,在大英博物馆里有约2.3万件来自中国的文物,其中约2000件长期展示。文物囊括了新石器时代的石器、仰韶文化的彩陶、商周春秋战国的青铜器、唐宋三彩、珐琅器等几乎所有艺术类别,件件都是绝世珍藏。它们被簇拥在玻璃柜里,一个个冰冷的编号试图掩盖它们背后的故事。
Currently, the museum has a total of 23,000 Chinese relics, while about 2,000 Chinese relics are on long-term display. The Chinese objects, spanning from the Neolithic age to the present, include paintings, prints, jade and ceramics.
也有网友感慨,也许没有国人能笑着从大英博物馆走出来。
至于大英博物馆为何会有如此多的中国文物?大英博物馆的中国藏品页面语焉不详:
Chinese objects have been a part of the British Museum since its establishment based on the collection of Sir Hans Sloane...The collection continues to be enhanced by contemporary acquisitions...
自大英博物馆以汉斯·斯隆爵士(编者注:1660-1753,他将个人藏品交给了英国国会)的收藏品为基础建立以来,中国文物一直是大英博物馆的一部分……通过当代购买等手段,藏品进一步丰富……
但是几百年来的历史告诉我们,这些文物漂洋过海背后的辛酸苦难。
而至于大英博物馆文物归还问题,长期以来,英国方面援引该国1963年的《大英博物馆法案》,以“保护文物安全”为由,拒绝将被掠夺文物归还原址。
For long, Britain has cited the British Museum Act 1963, which says the real owners of these stolen antiques are not in a position to protect them, to deny their return.
前几日,大英博物馆声明自己是“文物盗窃”受害者,然而追根溯源,中国显然才是文物被盗的最大受害者之一。大英博物馆曾辩称,文物在自己管理下“更安全”,“保存更好”,但不断浮出水面的流失案件,则让这一宣言不攻自破。无数的参观者也见证着,珍贵的文物“拥挤”在一个展柜里。
The British Museum claims it is the victim of theft. But wind back the clock and the museum itself becomes the thief, or receiver of the stolen goods; with China being one of its biggest victims. The recent theft from the museum demolishes the claim that Chinese antiques are safer and better preserved at the British Museum. Anyone visiting the British Museum will confirm how precious antiques jostle for space on the premises.
越来越多的国内民众,也呼吁文物回家。
