Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

After Chen Yang and Song Qingyun opened it carefully, they looked at it carefully. The inner pages are made of eight mounted hard wooden boards, with a piece of blue and white jade inlaid in the middle. On both sides of the jade piece, an image of an Arhat and an eight-character poem are carefully carved to describe its characteristics. The picture is on the left, and the poem is inscribed with praise. on the upper right

The patterns on each page are clear, the Arhat's appearance is strange and noble, and the depiction is vivid. The craftsman uses a knife instead of writing, showing a very high level of craftsmanship. The production method is extremely difficult. First, use a brush to draw the pattern on the jade plate, and then use hard tools such as "Diamond Knife", "Kunlun Knife" or agate to directly carve back and forth on the lines. If you use a magnifying glass now to If you look at it, you can definitely see the gossamer hair pattern carved back and forth by the knife. This jade book represents the highest level of jade from the Qianlong court in the Qing Dynasty.

The jade book is a book used by ancient Chinese emperors to offer sacrifices to heaven. It is also a letter of appointment for the emperor to receive orders from heaven. Although the material is jade, it is made in imitation of the shape of bamboo slips and wooden slips before the Han Dynasty. Its significance lies in engraving important documents or historical events on jade, firstly to express the importance of the written content, and secondly to enable it to be circulated permanently. Jade books appeared very early. The jade slips "Houma League Book" from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were unearthed in Shanxi.

The text, calligraphy and painting on this set of jade albums can be inscribed with gold and inscribed on the inside, inscribed with color, or carved with gold on the outside. Intaglio engraving and gold-filling are the most commonly used methods. It combines the warmth of jade with the brilliance of gold. This jade album "Ode to the Sixteen Arhats Made by the Imperial Government" uses intaglio engraving and gold-filling to express the image and text of Arhats.

"Oh, this is a good thing!" Song Qingyun and Chen Yang looked at it carefully. As they turned it over, they found that a piece of hard wood was already ruined. If Scar had just picked it up and played with it, he said Unfortunately, the piece fell and broke.

Generally speaking, jade albums are not very likely to be damaged as long as they are well preserved. After all, the Qing Dynasty palace had a set of institutionalized production procedures for national rituals and imperial jade albums. Strict and strict.

First, the Secretary of Guangzhou Prefecture was ordered to select the stored jade and hand it over to the Manufacturing Office for selection; then the Manufacturing Office classified the selected jade materials into grades one by one, then drew ink paths on the appropriate jade materials, calculated the number of cuts in detail, and recorded File report.

As soon as the imperial approval is obtained, it is sent to the weaving, salt administration, customs, or governor's yamen in various places, where they are ordered to be dissected and polished. At the same time, the Ruyi Hall of the Manufacturing Office was ordered to draw an ink manuscript and submit it to the emperor for viewing. After the jade plate is finished, it is returned to the manufacturing office and carved accordingly. Then it will be handed over to Qixiang Palace or a box for mounting and decoration.

Now it sounds like this process is extremely simple, but at that time, it took a long time to select the jade. After the jade was selected, it was handed over to the manufacturing office. After the manufacturing office approved it, it was submitted to emperor. As for Qianlong's temper, he was very strict when it came to the items he liked. Sometimes, he would not like any of the last batch of items submitted, so he would have to re-select them.

The court of the Qing Dynasty paid special attention to jade albums. There were mainly several types of jade albums used. One was for government affairs, such as the posthumous album and the sapphire imperial album for empress Xiaoshengxian in the 42nd year of Qianlong's reign. The other was for documents, inscribed with the emperor's important information. Articles, such as the jasper royal pen box and the record book; the other type is the calligraphy and painting album, which records the emperor's favorite calligraphy and painting works, such as the sapphire imperial "Twelve Woodsman Ode".

Qianlong believed deeply in Buddhism and carried out a large number of Buddhist activities in the Forbidden City. He produced and painted a large number of Buddhist statues, religious objects and Buddhist pictures. He also recited scriptures and worshiped scriptures, wrote articles and poems, and his articles and poems were an important part of the palace culture of the Qing Dynasty. It is also an important part of Chinese culture. The objects recording these poems are mostly treasures of the Qing Dynasty palace. This jade album is an important Buddhist cultural relic of the Qing Dynasty.

There are a total of sixteen Arhat statues in the whole volume; the engraved negative lines are filled with gold powder to make the lines clearer and brighter. In this "Imperial Sixteen Yings True Jade Book", the sixteen Arhats mentioned should be the Arhats of the Tibetan Buddhist system. The Arhat belief was introduced into Tibet and was deeply influenced by Central Plains Buddhism and closely related to it, but it is not entirely related to the Central Plains system. same.

While Chen Yang looked at the jade album, he was secretly happy that he actually came across such a good object in this cave. The price of the Qianlong jade album was very high in the auction market of later generations. Not to mention the later auction market, if you take out this set of jade albums now, you can easily sell it for one million; in the late 90s, At that time, there used to be a set of Qing Qianlong's "Treasures of the Perfect Elder" jade album. At that time, it was sold at a domestic auction house for a high price of more than 600 million. After 2000, a set of Qing Qianlong's white jade incised and filled with gold was sold. The imperial poem album "Dragon Struggle for the Pearl" was auctioned for more than 1600 million yuan, and this thing has been rising ever since.

"Brother, why do I think this object is modern? Isn't it similar to the thing placed in the hundred?"

"Bullshit, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" Zhenfeng glared at Ma Hu, "In this cave, there are things like this. If you don't use your brain, take them out and sell them!"

Just when Chen Yang and Song Qingyun were immersed in the exquisite jade album, they heard the voices of Zhenfeng and Ma Hu. They both turned their heads and looked over at the same time, and saw Zhenfeng and Ma Hu looking at a group of people. A emerald green incense burner.

"Chen Yang, I think you should move the objects out first and then look at them?" Song Qingyun frowned and suggested to Chen Yang.

Song Qingyun suggested this, mainly because the light in the cave is too dark, and secondly, although the space in the cave is not small, if Zhenfeng and the others are fine after a while, if something goes wrong or something is hit nearby, it will be in vain. blind.

Chen Yang nodded and said yes. He felt a little uneasy here, but even if he moved these things out, this box was easy to say and he could take it away no matter what. What about other stuff? When we came in, the mountain road was narrow and dark. These people stumbled a few times. If they went out with objects in their hands, if they were not careful, they would also fall down!

The most important thing is this gilt bronze statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. This thing is about fifty centimeters high. How do you get it out?

"I really want to ask this senior, how did he get in?" Chen Yang stood in front of the Guanyin statue, feeling worried.

Qin Haofeng was sitting in the construction company. Xiaojun and Xiaoliuzi were accompanying Qin Haofeng in the room. Zhuzi took someone out to inquire about the news. Qin Haofeng and Zhuzi returned that night and found that the car left in front of the store was missing. The man and woman must have tried to tow the car away. Yesterday, Zhuzi and his two brothers towed the car away from the nearby car repair shop. After searching all over the place, I finally found the car belonging to the man and woman, who was now guarding the car repair yard. I couldn't believe it, they didn't even want the car!

But the car was repaired yesterday, and so far, there is no news about the couple in Zhuzi, which makes Qin Haofeng very impatient.

"Brother Feng, please stop frowning." Xiao Liuzi reached out and handed Qin Haofeng a cigarette. "Brother Zhuzi has already gone to stare at their car. Xiaolong and the others have released the news again. As long as these two He is still in Jiangcheng, and it is only a matter of time to find him sooner or later! "

Qin Haofeng was worried that if these two people ran away, he would not know where to find them. Xiao Liuzi said that these two people definitely did not leave Jiangcheng.

"First of all, they learned the news after having dinner with you. Secondly, the bus broke down. The bus had stopped at that time. The only way to leave Jiangcheng was by train." Xiao Liuzi analyzed beside him, "Their car is in Jiangcheng, Brother Feng. Think about it, although that car is not as high-end as Boss Chen's, it is still a small car, so it is impossible to just throw it into Jiangcheng and use it as a train. "

"I think they must be in Jiangcheng. They just want to wait a few days for the news to pass, so they took the trouble to pick up the car and drive away!"

While several people were talking, a young man opened the door and walked in. He swept the snow off his body and shouted to Xiaojun, "Brother Jun, someone saw the person we are looking for!"

Xiaojun's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this. He stretched out his hand and pulled out the short tube, "Where is it? Take me there!"

The younger brother shook his head and said that he didn't know. They told him that if they didn't pay him, he couldn't help but bring him back.

"Tao, is there something wrong with you?" Xiaojun stared and shouted, "Don't you have any money? Give him some, buy the news first, and give me a call. I can bring someone over there in time!"

"What if the person runs away after you go back and forth like this?"

Taozi tidied his hair and glanced at Xiaojun, "Brother Jun, look who it is and you'll know!" After speaking, Taozi waved to the door and shouted, "Let you Come in!"

After Taozi finished shouting, someone walked in...Qin Haofeng frowned when he saw this person walking in. Isn't this guy just a beggar?

This person came in, wearing tattered clothes, a cotton-padded jacket with cotton flying around him, and a wide, dirty crotchless cotton trousers with a hemp rope tied around his waist. Burmese crotch pants are a kind of cotton pants. In order to meet the needs of working and keeping warm, the waist and crotch of the pants are designed to be very fat. Because the waist of the pants is too fat, people have to fold the waist of the pants in several layers and tie them tightly with cloth strips when wearing them. , so they are called "Burmese crotch pants".

You can simply understand that the waistband of cotton pants is very fat. If you want to prevent the pants from falling off, you must pull the left waistband to the right and the right waistband to the left. You only need to tie the waistband tightly with a hemp rope. The pants won't fall off.

This kid looked young. After he came in, he leaned against the wall. His face was dirty, his yellow teeth were exposed when he smiled, and he wore a cotton hat on his head. What made people laugh and cry was that this guy He also carried a luggage roll behind him, which was tied with a rope. There was a tea jar hanging on the outside, with the words "Dedicated to the most lovely person!" printed on it because the word "love" was gone.

Where he stood, the right shoulder was low, the left shoulder was high, the left hip and elbow were tilted upward, the right leg was tilted to the side, and the neck was tilted to the left, as thin as a noodle. Let's put it that way, where he stood Standing like an S, holding a stick in his hand and a pair of Allegro hanging around his waist.

"Brother Jun, business is booming, how about I give you a ride!"

Xiaojun slapped his forehead hard, "Oh my God, here comes a dad!"
