"Mona Lisa" is a portrait that Leonardo da Vinci took four years to complete. When the painting was finished, everyone who came to watch said that it was more vivid than a real person.

Since its birth, there have been more than 200 monographs studying this famous painting alone. Experts devote themselves to the book, year after year to explore Mona Lisa's mysterious smile.

The laughter of "Mona Lisa" has been called a mystery of the ages by scholars of all generations. She pursed her lips and smiled calmly, her eyes staring at her admirer calmly, no matter which angle you look at her. She seemed to be smiling all over her body, but she didn't seem to laugh at all. Some people even said that Mona Lisa was laughing loudly, not knowing where she saw it.

Countless people around the world are obsessed with it. King Louis XIII of France hangs it in the "family church" and lets her daughter imitate Mona Lisa's smile all day long.

Napoleon hung "Mona Lisa" in his bedroom, and had to appreciate it many times every morning and evening. Sometimes he could stand in front of the portrait for a day, which was obsessed.

Pompidou, who once served as the president of France, is also a fan of Mona. He said that he often cannot restrain his longing for Mona Lisa, just like a rabbit who is obsessed with a python.

When Charles de Gaulle encounters a difficult problem or is in a state of uneasiness, he goes to the Louvre to watch "Mona Lisa". When he came out of the exhibition hall, he always smiled and lost his worries.

Former British Prime Minister Mrs. Thatcher has collected four fake paintings of "Mona Lisa". She said: "I really like Mona Lisa too much, but it is another lonely product, so I have to entertain myself as a fake."

Not only are politicians obsessed with it, but ordinary people are not inferior.

It is said that "Mona Lisa" has received more than 7,000 love letters sent from all over the world.

The exhibition hall where "Mona Lisa" is placed, and she is on high alert day and night, unable to stop the frequent visits of thieves, and she fights repeatedly due to failure.

In 1951, when "Mona Lisa" was exhibited in Spain, Spanish head of state Franco personally visited the airport to hold the painting, and 200,000 Madrid citizens disguised themselves as Tang Jikede and sang and danced to welcome him;

In 1974, this painting was exhibited in Tokyo, and each visitor was allowed to stand in front of the painting for only 9 seconds.

Now, this painting is collected in the Louvre Museum in France, and more than 6 million people visit it every year. People linger in front of the portraits and are reluctant to leave for a long time.

There are more bizarre legends about it.

Some say that Mona Lisa belongs to Da Vinci herself, some say that she belongs to an alien, and some say that there are four animals hidden in the portrait, and some say that the portrait is strange and terrifying after watching it for a long time.

But all this has nothing to do with "Mona Lisa".

She still stood gracefully and dignifiedly in the exhibition hall of the Louvre Museum, separated by thick bulletproof glass and 5 meters away, as casual and mysterious as ever, smiling.

A faint smile, an eternal smile, a secret and brilliant, attracting insight.
