Chapter 575: Bamboo Slips
After sitting in the coffee shop for a while, as a break, the poplars continued to stroll.
They found that there were also antique shops hidden on this street. It doesn't look like an antique shop, but when you look at the signboard, you think it's selling all kinds of rat poison and the like!
But who knows, the boss who used to do cockroach poison and rat poison has stopped doing that business, and has changed his career to recycle antique calligraphy and paintings, but the façade has not changed.
When they passed by, the boss with a yellow face and thin muscles was coming back with three kicks and unloading the goods at the door of the store.
It's just that you're sure that this is a collection of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, not a collection of garbage? Copper, copper, iron, pots, pots,
The boss looked at Hu Yang's party, looked at the objects in his car, seemed to understand, and asked: "How many people, do you want to see antique calligraphy and paintings? You might as well follow me inside to take a look, I recently received a batch of good goods, not what you see now." ”
The old man can't help it, if he is simply doing antique business, his shop will be closed again. So, do some valuable garbage recycling work part-time.
Anyway, there is space in the store, and it is empty if it is empty.
However, don't treat him as a garbage collector, he is really in the antique calligraphy and painting business, that is his job. The old things in the store were recovered by him from the countryside, and they were worth nothing, he actually didn't know what to do, anyway, it didn't cost much.
Hu Yang and they looked at each other, a little hesitant, after all, looking at your car of garbage, it is really hard to believe, what treasures can you have!
"Look! If you don't like it, you don't need money if you don't buy it, are you still worried that I will buy and sell it?"
The boss was right.
It seems that the business here is not very good, and you are too unstylish to do the antique business. If it weren't for a red piece of paper pasted next to the door of the store, which reads "Recycle Antique Calligraphy and Paintings", who knows what you do?
Moreover, this initiative to attract customers has reached this point, and there is no reserve in the antique business at all!
"Then bother. Seeing the boss's expectant gaze, Hu Yang decided to go in and have a look.
It can be seen that this boss's life is not satisfactory and he is a little depressed.
In fact, Lao Han started his own business twenty or thirty years ago, but after so many years, he has done a lot of business, but he has not succeeded. reality, poured cold water on him again and again.
The boss hurriedly took out the key and opened the two locks locked in the door of the store.
The situation in the store was slightly unexpected by everyone. Everyone thought that it must be very messy inside, after all, it was a garbage collection. But as far as the eye can see, things are divided into categories and neatly arranged.
Although it looks like a lot of it is waste, it is always carefully arranged.
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed and said that the shopkeeper is estimated to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and everyone can guess what he puts on the table.
"On this shelf, there are all antique calligraphy and paintings that I have recycled, you can take a look. The boss said to Hu Yang.
In other words, there are so many things here that are really regarded as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and there is only such a bookshelf. Almost all of the objects placed on it are relatively small objects, including porcelain, bronze, wood, ancient calligraphy and paintings, etc.
Among them, the moon cake box, which also contains a box full of bronze coins.
These are the harvests of the old man for nearly a year, and it is estimated that he spent not 10,000 yuan, but also 8 or 9 thousand! Therefore, the boss is still very precious to the items on this bookshelf.
Xu Hong seems to be a little addicted to porcelain, and his eyes can't leave those porcelain.
Sister Yuan stood quietly beside Hu Yang, she was not interested in these things, and she came here to accompany Hu Yang.
Ah Hao picked up a roll of bamboo slips on the bookshelf, this thing has been seen on TV, before the invention of paper in ancient times, this is the book!
"Brother Hu, look at this. He said to Hu Yang.
The bamboo slip book is also known as the bamboo slip.
The appearance of the slips has made mankind bid farewell to the slash-and-sword stone carvings on the oracle bone inscriptions, and because of its superiority in both material and use, the education of civilization has been unprecedentedly popularized among the public, and the Chinese nation has entered a glorious new historical period.
Because of the simplicity, there are hundreds of schools of thought, competing for beauty, and there are spring and white snow, and there are people in the lower riba; Because of Jianmu, he has the diligence of Wei Bian and the erudition of learning and wealth; Because of the simplicity, there are coquettish poems and poems, and there are historians who have been singing for eternity......
In the 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization, the use of bamboo slips occupies almost more than one-third of the time. In this long history, it has played a vital role as a carrier of culture.
Today, the study of the value of the slips has involved many fields such as history, archaeology, writing, and philology. The continuous excavation of historical slips not only truly fills the gaps in history, but also has more important significance in restoring and revising history for us.
"This kind of thing, there is no need to introduce it, right? There are also a lot of unearthed slips, although they have gone through two or three thousand years, there are still a lot of surviving worlds, and they can often be dug up. Especially in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin and Han Dynasties, the most unearthed were made.
However, because of this kind of bamboo and wood material, even if it is preserved, it is not easy to maintain and repair it from the light of day, and if you are not careful, it may be damaged. Hu Yang said to everyone.
As far as he knows, the slips sorted out from the sludge first need to be cleaned with deionized water to remove the attachment on the surface. The saturated slip appears to be intact, but its texture is so fragile that even the slightest flow of water can destroy it. The staff had to soak the slip in water and gently wipe off the mud with a wolf's quill brush. Washing away the dirt and leaving the words depends on the tiny adhesion of the ink.
After cleaning the mud, the slip is still oxidized black, and decolorization is to use chemical agents to restore the true color of the slip. During this process, compositionally stable inks are not chemically reduced and the handwriting is still preserved.
The decolorized slips will continue to be soaked in pure water for half a year, during this half year, the relevant staff should change the water regularly for all the slips, according to the frequency of changing the water once a month, it takes 15 days for all slips to change the water once, it is hard to imagine how much patience is required for this monotonous and repetitive physical work.
After dehydration, the slips will be simply repaired, followed by a month of natural air drying, after which each slip will be encapsulated into a custom-made plexiglass plate.
"This book of bamboo slips is of little value, you can see the font on it yourself. Hu Yang handed the bamboo slip back to Ah Hao.
Ah Hao looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything wrong with the font.
In the end, Sister Yuan couldn't stand it and glared at him: "It's engraved with simplified characters, stupid!"
