The national gift given to the United States by South Korea during its visit to the United States is a bell, that is, South Korea sent a bell to the United States, and the Americans even said thank you after reading it. And then the U.S.** gift back to South Korea ** is a stick, that is, the stick that really plays baseball.
We Chinese saw you say that these two people exchanged gifts, which is about to end the beam. But you look at this **, hey, hey, I'm quite happy. So this custom is really different. Gifts to foreign friends on international occasions must be very valuable and meaningful.
In 2022, an American antique dealer found the ** evidence of the Japanese army in Nanjing, and then gave it to the Chinese museum, the Chinese embassy, and gave him a national gift, guess what?It's porcelain, and that's the gift that represents China.
In fact, there is another gift that can represent the country, and that is silk. The Chinese are the first to raise silkworms, and are known as the plain yarn silk single clothes of the world's top ten ancient tombs, the rare BMW Wangdui Han Tomb. You say that such a large garment can be stuffed into a matchbox, only 49 grams lighter than an egg, this is a miracle of the world.
Moreover, the Chinese regime has extremely strict control over the technology of silk, and the mulberry silkworm species were not allowed to be taken out of the country during the Western Han Dynasty, so the Chinese at that time had a very high awareness of intellectual property rights, and anyone who found a foreigner taking silkworms out of the country would be immediately executed. According to the records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, the king of the Qusadana Kingdom in the Western Regions wanted silk, so he proposed to the Chinese princess, and asked the Chinese princess to carry silkworm seeds with him.
When he arrived in the Western Regions, the Roman Emperor Justinian the Great was particularly fond of silk. At that time, the ancient Roman poet Virgil said in his Nong poem, what is silk?He guessed that silk was a kind of leaf, and then wool grew on it, and the hair was very fine, so he pulled down the wool to make silk. The ancient Roman scholar Bosanias said that silk is actually a shell or spider, which is produced in the body after the death of the individual.
Later, a missionary hid the silkworm seed in a bamboo pole and brought it to Europe at the risk of death. Iranian silkworm breeding is actually passed from China, that is, China's silkworm is too hot in Iran, and the silk it spits out is not ideal without China's first-class technology, and people Iranians make silk carpets, which has become Iran's national treasure.
Persian carpets are particularly valuable, a small piece is more than 100,000, and it is called soft**. Only the royal families and aristocrats of Europe, the wealthy merchants of the globe can afford it. When the king of England ascended the throne, you can see the carpet below, which is a Persian carpet left over from the 16th century, which is priceless. Iranians are very proud that to this day more than 90% of Persian carpets are made in Henan, China, and the quality is even better. The pattern is more authentic than the original, and it is cheaper.
