Chapter 38 Jump Lenovo

one When I arrived in Meissen, a small town in eastern Germany, I felt a little angry.They actually claimed that this is the world's first-class porcelain capital. It should be noted that I am from China and was born in the famous Yue Kiln hometown. For this reason, I deliberately went to their porcelain factory to have a look.I was really angry when I saw it, there was actually a huge crowd of people, packed with visitors from all over the world, and the price of the porcelain marked on it shocked us.Where is the porcelain capital of the world? But one thing that brings back a little fright is that I saw the markings of the Meissen porcelain: two interlaced curved swords.This mark is very familiar to me, almost connected with the starting point of life, and I remembered it after a little thought. It was the mark of a porcelain clock in my home when I was a child, and the time of my birth was recorded by this porcelain clock.That is to say, Meissen porcelain was not only introduced to China early, but also infiltrated into the old place of Yue kiln in a roundabout way.Isn't that a little too arrogant?

I dragged my feet and reluctantly went to see the museum of the porcelain factory.But once inside, it becomes serious. Because their exhibition clearly stated at the beginning that their porcelain production came from China two hundred years ago.The exhibitions that follow will demonstrate with real objects that China’s thousands of years of porcelain craftsmanship at that time had already been developed to perfection, but they could only learn to make ridiculous imitations, at best they followed the gourd. History is very frank. Watching it again, I gradually became more respectful.When they finally learned the knack of Chinese porcelain craftsmanship, they immediately started their own independent development history.No matter how advanced the technology is, they try to stick to the manual composition of porcelain, especially those high-level products, which are hand-painted by craftsmen.But they did not fall into conservatism, but advocated continuous innovation, which is closely related to modern life.The porcelain clock I saw when I was a child is an example.

Sure enough, a craftsman who was hand-painting put down his pen to welcome us, and spoke highly of the ancient Chinese porcelain art.We asked him about Meissen's special experience, and he smiled and said that Meissen's logo is two interlaced curved swords. In fact, Meissen's real two swords are: strictly abide by famous brand patents, and insist on innovation every year.One still and one movement, great stillness and great movement, is Meissen swordsmanship. I heard his subtext: Why did China's craft civilization stumble in modern times? two The construction of Cologne Cathedral started in 1248 and was completed in 1880. It has been built for more than 600 years.

After more than 600 years of construction, the style is completely unified.The straightness, beauty and lightness of the Gothic architecture have turned into cold peaks and stone forests touching the sky, forming a stubborn and majestic national spirit.This kind of wordless secret language, not discarded, not forgotten, not out of shape, and lasting for a long time, is really not easy. They also have butchers and crazy men, but generally speaking, the vast majority of the people dare to protect the outstanding and the high, and will not agree to the self-destruction of generations and self-destruction every year.As a result, even such a high spire escaped the flames of war and jealousy.

Think of China. When the Cologne Church was built, China was still in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Yuan Haowen had just finished writing Awakening and Rejuvenation, and he was still awake soon after being drunk; when it was completed, Li Hongzhang was already preparing for the construction of the Shanghai machine weaving layout, and Shanghai already had running water and telegraphs . After such a long period of time, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties have changed, and the world has been turned upside down. How many decent buildings on the ground can be preserved?How long can the spire of the sky last?

The spire of Cologne Cathedral has been made into a model and displayed on the square, explained in various languages ​​of the world. The words facing the church gate are in Chinese. Of course, they didn't mean to persuade us, but we Chinese may reflect on ourselves after reading it. three Mr. Siemens with sideburns died in 1892, but as early as 20 years ago, he had provided China with the first telegraph.In those years, disasters in China continued one after another, all of which were typed out with difficulty by that keyboard, beeping like weeping. Today I came to the headquarters of Siemens in Munich, looked at his statue, and wanted to tell him that more than 40 years after his death, a representative of the company stationed in Nanjing, China, used his international status to rescue a large number of victims from the butcher knife of the Japanese invading army. Chinese.

His name is Rabe, and it is said that he had a little relationship with the Nazis, and he was lonely in the evening; but the ancient city of Nanjing can prove that he is a good man. Now Siemens employees, almost no one knows him.But it was he who made the capital of the world's most populous country see Siemens as the embodiment of peace and humanity when it was suffering catastrophe.I can't think of any other company in the world that has achieved this status. If possible, please add his name to the history of Siemens.
