Chapter 453: Traditional Magic

This kind of thing, the earliest collection is still abroad, after all, the domestic collection of bullet casings will also cause unnecessary trouble, who knows if you are trying to redo the bullet?

No kidding, someone really did it, recycled bullet casings and made new bullets.

In fact, it was our People's Liberation Army that did this in the first place.

During the war years, due to the lack of raw materials, and the main rifle bullet shells at that time were made of brass, including artillery shell shells, which were also made of brass, brass was a very valuable metal and an indispensable material for war.

In principle, a bullet case made of brass can be recycled, and if it is replaced with a primer, gunpowder, and a warhead, it becomes a bullet again.

However, such recycled bullets can increase the defect rate, most commonly stinky bullets, or delayed fire, and the accuracy will be seriously affected.

The process of recycling the bullet case is bumped and deformed, so it is generally not reused, and only the arsenal of our army during the Anti-Japanese War will reuse the brass bullet case.

"These bullet casings you got are not rare and worthless. Even if it is a recycler, it is estimated that it is rare to be able to take a fancy to it. "Populus can't help but say about them.

Andy was surprised: "Is there such a thing as a bullet casing that is rare or not?"

The others were also curious.

Hu Yang also said a few more words: "How can there be none? Some bullets are specially made for certain guns, so naturally they are a little rarer, and there are more people who collect them, and they are more valuable."

And yours, with very little copper, belong to steel painted shells.

The steel cartridge case is easy to rust, and the physical ductility is poor, it is particularly hard, and it is worn on the gun chamber, so it is not suitable for reloading. ”

"In other words, Brother Hua and I bought scrap products?" Qi Hongye couldn't help but add to himself.

Hu Yang spread his hands: "If you want to think like this, I can't help it." However, it is also true. If I do, even if I do, I will buy bullet shell crafts, not these simple bullet shells. ”

He explained that bullet shell handicrafts are a scarce variety both at home and abroad. The particularity of the raw material for its production - bullet shells determines that there are very few manufacturers who can mass-produce this kind of handicrafts on a large scale, and most of them are small workshop-type production.

This kind of handicraft can not only be used as gifts, home ornaments, ornamental collections and children's toys, but also has a strong military commemorative significance. It is a hot, rare and very creative handicraft in the market.

Andy and Qi Hongye were speechless, just now they felt that bullet shells were rare in China, thinking that they had got a treasure. Unexpectedly, in Brother Hu's opinion, it was similar to garbage.

"We thought it was all made of copper. Qi Hongye suddenly felt that the bullet casing in his hand was not fragrant. He didn't know that at home, many bullet casings were made of steel, which was different from abroad.

In the end, Hu Yang still comforted: "Since you have bought it, there is no need to feel distressed, anyway, you also collect and play by yourself, just like it, there is no need to investigate whether it is precious or not." ”

Only Qi Zi and Ye Mei snickered.

Ye Mei was secretly thinking: In this world, there are really people who collect everything. Look at these bullet casings! These two boys just looked excited, and they knew that there was a market.

In fact, the collection of bullets and guns is very prosperous abroad, and some special old guns have even become the favorite of some people, who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy them.

The antique market of the Temple of Literature is not all selling antiques and handicrafts, but also selling art.

In front of him, there is an old man who is performing traditional Chinese magic tricks for everyone, but few people are willing to cheer.

It's not that magic isn't popular, even young people like it. But in the eyes of many people, magic shows are cooler to watch young people perform foreign magic tricks, rather than these old magic tricks.

"I've seen it on the Internet before, what is this called fairy bean picking. Qi Hongye said.

Immortal bean picking is a traditional Chinese magic trick, derived from the illusion "mud pill" of the Song Dynasty. The performer puts several beans in one bowl and can transfer the beans to other bowls at will, or put in more beans.

I saw that the old man performed very skillfully, and several small balls moved freely in two or three bowls.

The audience in the live broadcast room is also discussing:

"Compared with some foreign magic tricks, the traditional ones in China seem to be nothing to look forward to. ”

"There are few props, and they are not amazing enough. Unlike those foreign countries who dismember big living people, etc., to win eyeballs. ”

"You just think foreign incense, what can you do?"

"Magic seems to have come from outside, right? Look at Journey to the West, it came from the ancient Western Regions. ”

......

Hu Yang also noticed the movement in the live broadcast room, and saw that everyone was discussing the origin of magic, so he said: "My country is also one of the origins of magic, but it used to be called illusion and the like. The word magic is indeed foreign.

Moreover, the brother just now was not wrong. In ancient times, even dating back to the Han Dynasty, there were magic shows from the Western Regions. It is one of the earliest areas in China's foreign cultural exchange activities.

It can only be said that the Han Dynasty is indeed one of the pinnacle dynasties of ancient China. At that time, China began to enter the role of the center of the world, and many cultures were proud to enter the Han Dynasty. ”

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were more magic exchanges with Japan, India and other countries, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, Ming and Qing dynasties, the ancient color tricks that were known for "hiding and coercing", as well as magic monographs such as "Fairy Illusion" and "Goose Fantasy Compilation", played a positive role in the development of magic in Japan and the West.

The modern magic we see now is actually the product of the magic exchange between several countries, and it cannot be said that it was invented by one country.

The only magic tricks that really retain the original flavor may be China and India.

"Okay!" the man called out yes, and then gave him a hundred yuan in fees.

The old man was startled, and he was still sighing just now: it is getting harder and harder to mix and eat now. They are more and more unappreciated.

I didn't expect someone to tip 100 yuan so soon, and I haven't received such a big reward for a long time. Usually, others just throw a few dollars down.

Seeing that the Japanese are so supportive of traditional Chinese acrobatics, there is no reason why Hu Yang and others should not support it.

So, even Ye Mei, who has always looked at money heavily, took out fifty yuan, and Hu Yang gave the most, and the cash in her wallet was given out.

The old man was stunned, and he received thousands of yuan in this meeting.

"Thank you, thank you!
