Chapter 297 Give it up
"I don't care."
At this time, Yu Feibai gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go immediately..."
"Let's go, where to go?" Everyone was a little surprised.
"Go to the provincial capital." Yu Feibai clenched his fists and said, "Join the appraiser assessment as soon as possible and knock down someone's arrogance so that he won't be proud of it."
"When did I get so proud?" Wang Guan was a little amused.
"Why didn't you? You just came here and you gave me a warning. It's too shameful." Yu Feibai whistled: "No, in order to compensate for my injured heart, you will lend me a few months to watch this colorful glass translucent mirror." It is estimated that the last sentence is his purpose.
"Feibai, don't mess around."
Gao Dequan waved his hand and said seriously: "This kind of thing can't be borrowed easily."
"Why?" Wang Guan and Yu Feibai felt very surprised.
"Didn't I say that this is a Feng Shui magic weapon?" Gao Dequan explained: "The Qilin, the four symbols, and the twelve zodiac signs on the back of the mirror are the auspicious beasts we often call, and the Bagua refers to the eight directions and the world. In ancient times, there was also a legend that when staying at home, one would get a fortune, and when one would get an official, one would get a noble and minister."
"It is said that Tao Zhu Gong, the people's god of wealth, is Fan Li, has a treasure pot made of glass. The glass is translucent, so some people call glass Xi Shile, and believe that glass is the token of wealth that gathers wealth and blessings."
Speaking of this, Gao Dequan smiled and said, "It's both auspicious beasts and glass. Then the meaning of this mirror is very obvious. It's just that it wants to use auspicious beasts to conquer the house and use glass to gather wealth from all directions. In ancient times, such Feng Shui magic tools were probably only qualified to use by emperors and generals."
"Things like this were called magical tools in ancient times. Now this thing appears in Wang Guan's home, which is his blessing. It is best not to move around, so as not to ruin your luck." Gao Dequan warned, which was a bit mysterious.
This sounds very superstitious. After all, people now advocate science and should not believe it. However, in real life, there are many things that cannot be explained by science.
Of course, this can also be said that science is progressing, and things that cannot be explained now will definitely be able to solve the mystery in the future. However, when you trust science too much, will science also become a superstition?
Yu Feibai was not interested in studying this major proposition, but he lived in this land of China. Even though he had received more than ten or twenty years of advanced cultural education, he was inevitably influenced by traditional ideas. So no matter how mysterious Gao Dequan's words were, he became half-believing and half-doubted, and finally he simply stopped borrowing glass translucent mirrors.
However, at this time, Yu Feibai called. More than ten seconds later, the phone went out. Yu Feibai immediately showed off: "Old Qian, it's me. I found a treasure. Do you want to take a look?"
Don’t think that Yu Feibai is talking nonsense, and think that Qian is far away in the capital. How could he see what is here? But don’t forget that there is still video calls in the world. If Yu Feibai’s mobile phone and Mr. Qian’s phone have such functions, then it’s not a strange thing to directly talk face to face.
"What?" Qian Lao Rao said interested: "Didn't you say you want to go to the Ci Capital? Now it's here?"
"It's here, I'm here now." Yu Feibai sighed and said, "I'd known I won't come."
"Why do you say that?" Qian Lao was a little surprised and suddenly laughed: "Has he picked up some treasures again that made you suffer?"
"Old Qian, you are so wise." Yu Feibai said in surprise: "How did you know?"
"You just said that you discovered the treasure, and said that it must be his thing at Wang Guan's house." Qian Lao smiled and said with a faint smile: "A few days ago, I heard from Ade that Wang Guan got an arm rest with Huang Tingjian's handwriting written..."
"It's not an arm rest, that thing is not as good as my ivory birthday star." Yu Feibai shook his head and said, "It's a mirror, a mirror from the Han Dynasty. The mirror is glass. There are qilins, turtles, dragons, phoenixes, tigers, Bagua symbols, and twelve zodiac signs..."
"Are there twenty-four words?"
At this moment, Mr. Qian asked anxiously: "Are you sure it is a translucent mirror?"
"ah……"
Yu Feibai was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Old Qian, how did you know it is a translucent mirror?"
The other side of the phone fell silent, which made Yu Feibai wonder if there was a problem with the communication signal. He was about to check it and heard Qian Lao's slightly excited voice: "Open the video and let me see it."
"good!"
Yu Feibai nodded quickly and opened the video software. At this moment, the screen of his mobile phone shaking a few times, and Mr. Qian's figure appeared clearly.
"Hello, Mr. Qian, I wish you my old age!"
At the same time, Wang Guan and Gao Dequan also squeezed over to say hello.
"You guys are good too..."
Yu Feibai's mobile phone is definitely the highest-end technology digital product. The Qian Lao on the screen not only has clear images, but also has a natural and smooth voice when speaking, and there is no blockage at all.
After saying hello, Mr. Qian couldn't wait to say, "Where is the translucent mirror?"
"Here, Mr. Qian, please look..."
While speaking, Yu Feibai raised the glass translucent mirror and then used his mobile phone to take a fixed shot. The time was not long, and the details on both sides of the mirror were transmitted to Mr. Qian's phone.
Yu Feibai kept adjusting the angle to make Mr. Qian see more clearly, and asked: "Mr. Qian, do you know what those twenty-four words mean?"
"I don't know how to read it specifically, but I know the meaning." Old Qian's voice came over: "It is said to be a symbol of the twenty-four solar terms."
"No?" Yu Feibai said in surprise: "A word represents a solar term?"
"What's strange about this."
Wang Guan smiled beside him and said, "After all, it is classical Chinese, not modern plain language. Classical Chinese emphasizes the so-called subtle meaning, and each character contains many layers of meaning. It is like the word "Dan", which originally means the sun, but there are still meanings such as day, noon, festivals, time, etc."
"Wang Guan is right." Qian Lao smiled and said, "And every word will change during the evolution process. It will be specified in each specific period. Therefore, there will be a distinction between seal script. During evolution, there are also many words that are repeated. Everyone only uses one as a standard, and the others that are not used become so-called different characters."
Everyone nodded repeatedly and understood what Mr. Qian meant. Perhaps this was the case with the twenty-four words on the back of the mirror.
At the same time, Yu Feibai curiously said, "Old Qian, you have heard of this mirror before. Before I finished speaking, you know what the mirror looks like."
"This mirror is recorded in a novel "Ancient Mirror Record" at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. I always thought it was just a legend, and I didn't expect there would be a real thing." Qian Lao pondered: "The novel mentions that Huangdi cast fifteen mirrors back then, and the shape of the eighth treasure mirror is what you just described."
"Huangdi?" Yu Feibai said in surprise: "Huangdi of Yandi Huangdi?"
"As a novel, it's very normal to have some fiction."
Gao Dequan smiled and said, "If you spread rumors, you will definitely see some deviations. I think the so-called Huangdi may be the emperor. It should be an emperor in the Western Han Dynasty who ordered the casting of this mirror. After all, according to historical records, the technology of the translucent mirror only appeared in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty."
"Ade is right." Qian Lao agreed: "The mirror must be a Han mirror. And according to the content of the ancient mirror record, if you tap the mirror gently with your hand, you can hear a very crisp and melodious sound, and the lingering sound will last for a long time."
"Wang Guan, can I try it?" Yu Feibai solicited opinions.
"No problem." Wang Guan nodded quickly. Although the glass is a bit brittle, it is not so easy to break as long as it is not smashed hard. Moreover, the mirror body is made of bronze, which is very strong and will definitely not be broken by hand.
"bite……"
At this moment, Yu Feibai reached out and flicked the back of the mirror. He heard the crisp sound slowly drifting, and the lingering sound actually lasted for a minute or two before completely disappearing. You must know that this is a mirror, not Zhong Qing.
"It's true." Yu Feibai exclaimed: "How could there be such an effect?"
"This needs to be studied." Qian Lao smiled and said, "However, according to my guess, it may be that the mirror body of the bronze mirror is uneven, and the sound quality of the glass is crisp. When knocking, the sound resonates and echoes in the uneven gaps, as if an echo is heard, which is naturally more lasting."
"Old Qian, you are still powerful. You can still identify it when you are thousands of miles away." Yu Feibai sighed sincerely, and Wang Guan and Gao Dequan next to him nodded quickly, with admiration on his face.
"Don't flatter me." Qian Lao smiled and said, "I just saw it a lot, so I naturally knew it. When I visited the Shanghai History Museum, I also studied the light-transmitting mirror for a while. I was very clear about the structure of it. After a little consideration, I came to a conclusion. However, whether this is the case, you still need to explore further."
"Old Qian said yes, it must be just that, no need to study it." Yu Feibai said with a smile, deliberately looking for scolding. As expected, Old Qian immediately scolded him.
However, Yu Feibai didn't mind, but instead nodded with a smile and admitted his mistake, as if he was having fun.
Of course, Wang Guan also knew that Yu Feibai was not asking for trouble, but that Mr. Qian also brought a lot of groceries during the reprimand, intentionally or unintentionally told some secrets in the antique business, which made Yu Feibai take as a warning. Wang Guan felt that Yu Feibai was going to do these strange and secret things, so he kept silent and made some minor mistakes from time to time, and then asked Mr. Qian to scold him.
After a few minutes of training, Mr. Qian stopped and instead warned Wang Guan: "Mirror is very precious and needs to be treasured. I believe Ade also told you that this is a Feng Shui magic weapon. If you don't feel troublesome, it's best to provide it and ask for peace of mind."
"Of course, it's up to you to believe it or not. No matter what, just keep it carefully."
Qian Laowen smiled softly and ended the call. (To be continued...)
