w "The preciousness of colored glaze can be reflected in the creation of the novel Journey to the West. Sha Monk, a dignified rolling curtain general, was demoted so miserably just because he accidentally broke a colored glaze cup. This fully shows that colored glaze was in people's minds at that time.

of preciousness.”

Gao Dequan talked eloquently and chuckled: "Furthermore, Fei Bai, you have confused a basic concept. Modern colored glaze is not valuable, but it does not mean that ancient colored glaze is not valuable in modern times. You must know that ancient colored glaze can be passed down to the present.

It is also a very precious art treasure. What's more, there are different types of colored glaze. Most of them on the market now are water colored glaze, which is an imitation of colored glaze. The cost of genuine colored glaze fired using ancient methods is very high, and it has certain properties.

collection value."

"Of course I know."

Yu Feibai scratched his head and said in confusion: "However, I have also seen ancient colored glaze. Most of them should be small and exquisite things like beads. Many times they should be in the shape of jewelry. It is unlikely to be made into a mirror.

You know that colored glaze is not very transparent, and it has many colors that cannot be reflected at all."

"Well, it is indeed a bit strange." Gao Dequan agreed: "Mirrors in ancient times were generally made of copper, because after being used for a long time, the surface of copper mirrors will become dull, but they can be polished again to restore their original brilliance.

.Other metals are not so convenient, and I have never heard of glass being used to make mirrors, unless..."

"Unless what?" Yu Feibai quickly asked.

Next to him, Wang Guan listened attentively, with a look of curiosity on his face.

"Unless this is not a mirror used by ordinary people to wash their hands. It is a Dharma mirror." Gao Dequan said with a smile.

"Dharma mirror?"

Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were both a little surprised.

"That's right." Gao Dequan said with a smile: "The mirror is also the so-called Feng Shui instrument. After all, in ancient times, mirrors not only had the function of organizing instruments, but also had other special meanings. For example, they could control the house, ward off evil spirits, etc.

."

"Remember, the demon mirror in The Romance of the Gods." Yu Feibai suddenly exclaimed.

At the same time, Wang Guan said thoughtfully: "I remember that there was also a mirror hanging at the entrance of the ancestral house. And it was similar in shape to this mirror."

At this time, Yu Feibai noticed that the mirror in Wang Guan's hand was not the most common round shape, but formed a regular Bagua shape like the stone box.

"Wang Guan. Show me the things."

Yu Feibai curiously stretched out his hand and took the glass mirror from Wang Guan. He first looked at the surface of the mirror and saw that the surface layer of glass was still dazzling and radiant, and had not faded at all.

Sure enough, this is the real colored glaze, which will never change color for thousands of years. It is not like the water colored glaze on the market, which starts to fade after only one or two years. The longer it goes, the more it looks like plastic, and it doesn’t feel crystal clear at all.

there is none left.

The most important thing is that the texture of this layer of colored glaze is very strong. Even if it is mixed with a variety of colors, it is still crystal clear. It also feels smooth and does not have the sluggish feeling of crystal and glass.

After admiring the glass on the mirror, Yu Feibai felt that there seemed to be many patterns on the back of the mirror. He immediately turned it over and looked at it. He saw a crouching unicorn carved in the center of the back of the mirror, and the four corners of the mirror were turtles, dragons, phoenixes and tigers. And the four corners

Corresponding to the Bagua, there are twelve zodiac signs outside the Bagua.

However, even though there are so many things carved in this seven- to eight-inch space, the back of the mirror does not appear chaotic, but is very orderly, with the patterns of various creatures clearly visible and lifelike.

Yu Feibai looked carefully and found that in addition to the Four Elephants and Bagua twelve zodiac signs, there were twenty-four characters written on the outline of the mirror. Looking at him, these characters looked like official script, with clear stipples, but he

Don't know anyone.

"Uncle De, look at what the word is." Yu Fei Baiqin learned to ask questions and immediately asked for advice.

"Let me see..."

Gao Dequan looked at it for a moment, then nodded and said: "Well, it is indeed a Feng Shui mirror, a bit like the Four Gods and Twelve Zodiac Mirrors. However, it has one more unicorn button, Bagua directions, and two more than the Four Gods and Twelve Zodiac Mirrors.

Fourteen characters.”

"The Four Gods and Twelve Zodiac Mirrors!" Wang Guan muttered: "I remember it seemed to be a Tang mirror, a very precious ancient mirror."

"You are right. Currently, the ancient mirrors from the Warring States, Han Dynasty, and Tang Dynasties are the most exquisite and have the most collection value." Gao Dequan said with a smile: "However, the ancient mirrors from the Tang Dynasty, to a certain extent,

But they are imitations of Han mirrors. For example, the Four Gods and Twelve Zodiac Mirrors of the Tang Dynasty actually imitated the specifications and shapes of the mythical beast mirrors of the Han Dynasty, and then developed and improved them on the basis of the mythical beast mirrors. The two can be considered to be of the same origin.

."

"Since the Han and Tang Dynasties were prosperous, it is normal for the two to be related." Yu Feibai continued to ask: "However, I am more curious about what these words are."

"You stupid boy, you really have no eyesight at all." Gao Dequan shook his head, glanced at Yu Feibai, and reprimanded: "If I knew him, I would have told you, why bother talking about this."

"No, you don't even know Uncle De?" Yu Feibai was very surprised.

"What's so strange?" Gao Dequan rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not an expert or scholar in this field, and these official scripts are not common characters. I don't know what's so strange about them."

"Then I'll take two photos and ask Mr. Qian for advice."

Yu Feibai chuckled, took out his cell phone and took a photo on the back of the mirror, then turned the mirror over, raised it slightly, and continued taking pictures.

At the same time, Gao Dequan said: "Wang Guan, I think this mirror should be a Tang mirror."

"Why?"

Wang Guan frowned slightly, because under the observation with his special ability, the purple flames of the east and west treasures rose, which were brighter than the sun. It can be seen that this mirror is very old, and must have surpassed the Tang Dynasty.

"The ancient mirrors of the Tang Dynasty generally have four gods and twelve zodiac patterns, auspicious animal grape patterns, flower and bird patterns, auspicious flower patterns, fairy figures, coiled dragon patterns, Bagua patterns, ten thousand characters patterns, etc... This mirror should have four patterns.

A combination of the twelve divine zodiac signs and the eight trigrams.”

Gao Dequan explained: "Furthermore, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty respected Taoism the most and regarded Laozi and Li Er as their ancestors, so they were most likely to order craftsmen to bake such glazed mirrors."

After all, the technology of making colored glaze was only in the hands of the royal family, and judging from the shape and decoration on the back of the mirror, it was clearly a Taoist Feng Shui mirror. With a little connection, it is no wonder that Gao Dequan came to such a conclusion.

If he didn't have special abilities, Wang Guan might be convinced after hearing Gao Dequan's reasoning. But at this time, he had to consider how to overturn Gao Dequan's conclusion. This requires evidence...

Thinking of this, Wang Guan subconsciously looked towards the glass mirror. At this moment, he seemed to see something magical, which made his eyes freeze. At the same time, Yu Feibai also finished taking the photo and was about to put down his hands.

Mirror's hand. As soon as his hand moved, the magical situation that Wang watched began to sway.

At the right time, Wang Guan became anxious and shouted loudly: "Don't move!"

"Um?"

Yu Feibai was stunned, and after a while he said confusedly: "Did I say that?"

"Lift the mirror and look at the ground." Wang Guan prompted.

Yu Feibai blinked. Although he was confused, he still followed Wang Guan's instructions, raised the mirror in his hand, and then lowered his head to look at the ground.

Because there is a light behind Yu Feibai, the light is very abundant. When it shines on the crystal clear glass mirror, it naturally reflects a brilliant colorful brilliance.

However, at this moment, no one paid attention to the rainbow light above, but lowered their heads to pay attention to the shadows on the ground. In an instant, several people saw a very abnormal scene, which made them stunned, dumbfounded, and unbelievable.

At this time, I saw the shadows on the ground reflected in the mirror, and the patterns such as unicorns, turtles, dragons, phoenixes, tigers, Bagua symbols, and the twelve zodiac signs appeared clearly, including the twenty-four characters, all of which were detailed and flawless.

.

After a long time, Gao Dequan breathed a sigh of relief, came back to his senses, and exclaimed: "Light-transmitting mirror..."

"Uncle De, is this the legendary light-transmitting mirror?" Yu Feibai woke up and retracted the hand holding the mirror. There was no light shining on the mirror surface, and the patterns and characters on the back of the mirror were no longer visible.

"That's right, it's a light-transmitting mirror."

Gao Dequan's eyes were full of excitement and surprise, and he sighed softly: "I have seen a light-transmitting mirror like this in the History Museum in Shanghai. It is also the only real light-transmitting mirror that I know of. I didn't expect that.

There is another light-transmitting mirror in the world, and the decorative patterns are more complex and exquisite."

"In other words, this is a Han mirror, not a Tang mirror." Wang Guan said with a smile. After all, he had been mentally prepared in advance, so naturally he would not be so shocked.

"It should be right." Gao Dequan pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "According to research, this kind of light-transmitting mirror was only developed in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty. However, after the Han Dynasty, the mirror-making technology was lost. Later,

, Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty recorded this aspect in Mengxi Bi Tan, and studied its production principle."

"It is a pity that Mengxi Bi Tan was not very influential at the time, and it was a miscellaneous book that was not taken seriously by scholar-bureaucrats. Even if someone saw this article, at most they would just lament that there is such a good thing in the world, but no one would ever want to base it on it.

According to the principle, the light-transmitting mirror is developed again." Gao Dequan shook his head and said with a smile: "So, generally speaking, unless it is a modern fake, the light-transmitting mirror is from the Han Dynasty."

"Another priceless treasure." Yu Feibai went a little crazy and said angrily: "Wang Guan, did you predict that I would come today, so you prepared this thing to deliberately stimulate me."

Seeing the mechanism stone box and the crisp silk cloth wrapped on the mirror, the two of them naturally did not suspect that this thing was a modern fake. Yu Feibai thought that he would be able to appreciate a rare treasure just after he came. He was happy.

It also suffered a big blow.

"I really don't have this. I have gotten this thing a long time ago, but the key was only ready today." Wang Guan laughed and said: "I am not a god who predicts the future. How could I know that you will appear today." Welcome.
