Chapter 2110: Venturing Across the World with a Cute Kid 4

"Then the people of R country shamelessly claimed that Empress Bao was actually from R country, and later married into the Great Xia Kingdom, bringing the Xia Script with her. So, the Xia Script is R country’s cultural heritage, not Huaxia’s!

The most frustrating thing is, after this issue was exposed, I brought people to quarrel with their country’s Ministry of Culture, and they turned it around, accusing us of trying to steal their national historical culture!

They also arrogantly claimed that if the Xia Script belonged to Huaxia, why is it that in our grand Huaxia, not a single person can write in the Xia Script!

They even said that in R country, even elementary school students know calligraphy, and calligraphy is a compulsory subject, whereas in Huaxia, not only elementary students, even university students who can write calligraphy are few!

Claiming which country’s traditional culture calligraphy belongs to, and from this point, you can tell they’re shameless!

I’m furious!"

Xia Weibao listened in shock, then recalled, she was clearly from the Great Xia Kingdom, why were medical books found in R country?

The world is now different from a thousand years ago, even the geographical landscape is different, but the overall positions aren’t too far off.

Let her think, the geographical location of R country, in the era of the Great Xia Kingdom, was where...

It seems it was a remote island.

Xia Weibao slapped her head, she remembered, before meeting Emperor Xia Liang, she had traveled everywhere with her master practicing medicine.

At that time, she went to R country, which was so barren, inhabited by barbarians, people’s lives were very primitive, eating raw meat, lacking medical knowledge.

Frequent illnesses, and generally, they would die from illness, without any medical expertise.

Her master had her educate the people in medical skills.

Then she taught them some and wrote a few medical books, also penned some of her experiences traveling far and wide for them to read, to help them understand the outside world.

The calligraphy mentioned by Meng Songbai found in the R country museum should be from that time.

Thinking about this, Xia Weibao was instantly speechless.

Indeed, she authored those medical books and travelogues, but those were definitely not in Xia Script.

Xia Script belongs to the Royal Family of the Great Xia Kingdom, used only within the Royal Family and officials.

Before she entered the palace, she was just a traveling physician, writing in ordinary ancient scripts, certainly not Xia Script.

Though similar, there are differences, Xia Script is more aesthetically pleasing.

Are the people of R country stupid, not even clear on this point.

Over there, Meng Songbai continued clamoring about the R country people being shameless, stealing their things.

Xia Weibao interrupted him, "Minister Meng, you called me just to talk about these things?"

"No, R country is hosting a world-class calligraphy conference, inviting calligraphy enthusiasts from around the world to study the Xia Script. Their aim is to have the whole world recognize calligraphy’s origin as R country, claiming the Xia Script is R country’s cultural heritage. I plan to take people to sabotage it.

But in our Calligraphy Department, no one knows Xia Script..."

Xia Weibao understood, "So, you want me to go?"

"Yes, Xiao Xia, do you have time?"

Next week then...

A world-class calligraphy conference...

Xia Weibao smirked, "Such a grand event, of course, I must go to broaden my horizons. I’m planning to travel next week, so I’ll head to R country."

"Thank you, Xiao Xia. If you don’t go, I wouldn’t know what to do."

"No problem, I’m the cultural ambassador of Huaxia, it’s part of my duties. By the way, I’ll bring three teammates with me."
