Chapter 823 What a **** nonsense!
“Dear judges and friends, the first project our country applied for at this World Heritage Conference is the Nijin brocade weaving process.”
Toshi Konoyama was reading the speech, and a PPT was played on the projection screen behind him, which contained detailed information on the relevant projects for World Heritage application.
The representatives from various countries at the scene wore simultaneous interpretation headphones so they could understand his speech.
After hearing his speech, representatives from various countries looked at the China World Heritage Project Team.
The representatives present are all scholars and experts from various countries, and they all have a certain understanding of the history and culture of various countries in the world.
As we all know, silk is a symbol of China and the first medium for countries around the world to understand Chinese civilization.
The Silk Road back then connected Eastern and Western civilizations, and is recorded in the history books of various countries.
However, Neon Country has submitted a heritage application for silk weaving technology, which is undoubtedly a provocation to China.
Hence, Konoyama Jun’s speech on the application for World Heritage had just begun, and it had already aroused strong interest among the representatives present.
To be precise, it should be an interest in gossiping that is not too big a deal.
Konoyama Shun did not pay attention to the whispers among the representatives from various countries at the scene, but continued to talk to himself: "The history of silk textiles in our country has been more than three thousand years, and the earliest can be traced back to the late Kyushu Jomon period in the first millennium BC.
There are already traces of cloth patterns on the Jomon Period pottery fragments excavated across my country. "
As he spoke, photos of pottery fragments were also displayed on the projection screen.
The pottery fragments in the photo do have intersecting lines.
Looking at these photos, Director Zhu next to Li Yi couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "It's so sparse, can it be called cloth? It's more like calling it a fishing net!"
Li Yi smiled and did not say anything, but looked at Konoyama Jun who continued to speak with interest.
Watching his serious nonsense is quite interesting, just like watching a sketch.
“According to the Kojiki, the oldest ancient book written in my country, after the **** of food Otsuhime was killed by Susano-o, many crops emerged from the corpse.
Her head grew silkworms, her eyes grew rice, her ears grew millet, her nose grew red beans, her **** grew wheat, and her buttocks grew soybeans.
When the God of the Nest Sun saw this, he took out the seeds, and these crops began to grow from then on.
This shows that our country had already mastered the technology of sericulture and textiles long before the "Kojiki" was written. "
As Toshi Konoyama spoke, the cover of a book also appeared in the PPT.
But looking at this book, Li Yi couldn't help but chuckle.
Because the three characters "Kojiki" on the cover of the book are clearly written in Chinese characters.
Some representatives from other countries present also noticed this, and there were a lot of snickers for a while, which was quite clear in the quiet venue.
Hearing these laughter, the faces of the delegation behind Konoyama Jun suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Hunta Arai, who was sitting upright, looked particularly ugly. He glared at the laughing representatives with a sullen face, as if he could burst out with anger.
But Konoyama Shun continued to speak as if he was not aware of it: "As early as the time of Emperor Sougin, the 10th emperor of our country, senior Tataya Meiko of Kuji County had already made Nagababe Utensils out of thick silk.
In the Yamato era in the 5th century before Emperor Kanmu built Heiankyo, the textile industry in Kyoto, my country, began to take off, forming a large-scale textile industry.
With the relocation of Heian's capital to Beijing and the establishment of the Oribe Department responsible for managing palace fabrics, my country's textile industry has developed rapidly.
These silks produced at the site of the Western Army's base camp are the predecessors of Nishijin weaving, a national treasure textile craft in our country today.
During the Edo period, Nishijin became a nationally famous high-end silk production base. Large-scale yarn wholesale stores and textile workshops formed a textile street. The scale of local looms reached more than 20,000.
It is precisely because of such a prosperous textile industry that the exquisite neon Nishijin brocade was born locally..."
Hearing this, many representatives who were snickering had stopped smiling and began to look at the information and photos of cultural relics on the PPT seriously.
Looking at the photos of cultural relics of various fabrics displayed in the PPT, the representatives looked at the Huaguo project team with some confusion and thought.
Everything must be based on logic. Konoyama Jun's statement is well-founded and has evidence from cultural relics and historical records. It is still very convincing.
Could it be said that Neon Country really has its own brocade weaving technology?
Beside Li Yi, Director Zhu was so angry that he rolled his eyes.
“What a **** bullshit!”
Director Zhu uttered a curse word through his teeth before whispering: "This guy didn't even mention how he came to learn technology from us!
When he said this, it turned out that they invented silk themselves! "
“Don’t be impatient.”
Li Yi comforted him: "What is black cannot be white. Let's listen to what he says first."
Noticing that the representatives from various countries were getting serious, everyone in the Neon Country delegation sat up straight and looked proud.
Hunta Arai's back was even more straight, his expression was excited, and he was about to burst into tears.
Not long after, Konoyama Jun had finished his speech.
However, he was not done with his speech on the application for World Heritage. He turned back to look at Junta Arai and raised his hand to introduce: "The person sitting behind me is Mr. Junta Arai, the inheritor of Nishijin Unbrocade.
The weaving technology of Nishijin brocade was created by the seniors of the Arai family.
Next, I would like to invite Mr. Junta Arai to explain to the judges the specific weaving process of Nishijin brocade. "
After saying that, he walked off the stage.
Arai Junta stood up solemnly, slowly straightened out the hakama hakama on his body, and after tidying up his clothes, he walked towards the podium.
Standing by Konoyama Jun, he nodded to Konoyama Jun, and then walked onto the podium.
“Dear judges and representatives, I am the patriarch of the Arai family, Junta Arai.”
He introduced himself with a serious face.
The microphone in front picked up his voice, spread throughout the venue, and reached the ears of representatives from various countries through simultaneous interpretation.
“My family is the oldest textile family in Nishijin.”
There was a hint of suppressed excitement in his tone: "My ancestor, Taro Arai, witnessed with his own eyes the glory of Nishijinori in the Edo generation.
At that time, more than 12 kinds of fabrics such as warp brocade, weft brocade, satin, Zhuzhen, Shaoba, Fengtong, Sui weaving, Honori weaving, velvet, Kaori weaving, and Tsumugi were available in the Nishijin area.
My ancestor Taro Arai combined the most advanced fabric technology at the time to weave Nishijin Unbrocade! "
