Chapter 756: The Earliest Chinese Buddha Statue

Hearing his brother-in-law's question, Zhang Nan just swept the surrounding situation with his eyes, glanced left and right at the statue of Lux in front of him, and said, "It should be from the Tang Dynasty, and nine times out of ten it is still the Tang Dynasty......

Zhang Nan has a good habit of playing antiques that he has developed in two lifetimes: if it is in a potentially competitive environment, he will browse through all the objects as quickly as possible and quickly select the items that need to be focused on.

This situation is often used when visiting the antique market, so as not to be preempted by Cheng Biting Jin, who may be killed halfway.

But if it is in a private environment, Zhang Nan will become unhurried, and will definitely look at one thing after another, and will never look at everything hastily, so as not to be considered a monkey anxious and see the true thoughts in his heart.

The latter method is used when looking at the goods between private individuals, or when receiving the goods: in this case, it is generally impossible to get out of Cheng Biting Gold, in case there is, the seller will 100% enter the blacklist of customers in Zhang Nan's heart, because this Cheng Biting Gold is 100% a trust, and this kind of customer will have no need to continue to deal with it.

This will be the real TV station's warehouse, and it is no different from his own private warehouse, even if Bush comes, he will not be able to bite the gold, you can watch it slowly, and enjoy the fun of acquiring the collection.

Just lean down and continue to look, still looking back and forth, left and right.

"It should be the statue of Lux in the Tang Dynasty, nine times out of ten it is still stolen from the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, and the statue of Lux in other places is a little different from the statue of Lux in the Tang Dynasty in this period, and there is no such emphasis on the sense of strength. ”

Zhang Nan said so loudly, Boss Guan's cool face actually had a "you just blow it" expression, which Zhang Nan was deeply disdainful!

"Brother Guan, don't believe it, this is what we have learned, it is absolutely true!

Yongcheng's agricultural curator is a knife in Jiangnan sculpture, and he has produced a professional academic report on this kind of Longmen Grottoes statue in the Tang Dynasty.

Let's look at the Buddha statues or grotto statues in famous temples, the image of the Buddha is similar, no matter how much you see, it is estimated that it is déjà vu, and even the statue of Lux is similar.

However, the Longmen Grottoes are an exception, and they like to depict the body and strength prominently, especially the wrestler statue that is reflected in the body with more exposed parts.

The wrestlers in the Longmen Grottoes are very rare works of art in ancient China that express the character of the characters through muscle lines, especially with exaggerated expressions of the body, movement and expression of the statue.

Compared with other statues, the statue of Lux in Longmen is particularly resolute and powerful, while the statues in other places often express the differences in character through the change of clothing and clothing.

When we are free, we can go to the Longmen Grottoes to see, the statue of the wrestler over there is similar to this one, not fierce, but mighty, the expression of muscle strength is somewhat similar to Western sculpture, and the traditional Chinese sculpture is very different......

As he spoke, he was silent, leaning over his upper body and getting tired, so he simply squatted down and studied a small area on the side of the base of the Lux statue.

"Hell fucking shit, I didn't steal anything to the fullest, and I only half of the words were left!"

Hearing this, Xiang Weirong also squatted down to watch.

The lighting in the warehouse is good, and you can vaguely see a few words on the right side of the base.

But it was still not bright enough, so I simply used a flashlight.

"In the first year of the dew, the ...... That's it, I'm going to cut it off! Grandma-a bear!"

Zhang Nan scolded twice, stood up and said: "It is a Buddha statue in the Tang Dynasty, and it is strong enough during the rise of national power!"

"Tiaolu, which emperor?"

Xiang Weirong hadn't heard of it, and neither had Boss Guan, let alone others.

It's obviously a year name, but it sounds a little out of tune.

"Wu Zetian's husband Tang Gaozong Li Zhi's year name was used for two years, which should be 679 and 680 AD. This era name was originally a musical title, and as an era name, it probably means to harmonize and make things grow long.

This Tang Gaozong caused tracheitis at that time, and the year name was changed because Pei Xingjian pacified the Western Turks in June of the fourth year of Yifeng, rebuilt the four towns of Anxi, changed the Yuan and Lulu, and granted amnesty to the world.

However, in the second year, the crown prince Li Xian was abolished, and Wang Zhe was appointed as the crown prince, and Yuan Yonglong was changed.

Li Zhi, the tracheitis, reigned for thirty-three years, and successively used fourteen era names such as Yonghui, Xianqing, Yifeng, Tiaolu, Yonglong, etc., and changed it back and forth like a family, and finally changed Li Tang to Da Zhou. ”

However, it is also strange that the high-level domestic leaders of the Tang Dynasty were made bloody by a woman in those decades, but the territory of the Tang Dynasty was the largest in the time of Gaozong!

From the Korean Peninsula in the east, the Aral Sea in the west, and the Caspian Sea, Lake Baikal in the north, and Hengshan in Vietnam in the south, such a territory has been maintained for a full 32 years, and the land area of the Kaiyuan Dynasty is not so large!

Needless to say, a very precious Buddhist statue of the Tang Dynasty, looking at this superb sculpture chiseling art, is still the best of the best.

No one asked Zhang Nan about the value of this statue of Lux with an exact chronology, and this statue should not be judged by money.

Zack, who was standing a little farther away, did not understand the Chinese spoken by the boss, so he looked at a few bronze statues that were neither tall nor exquisite in the corner, and saw a gilded statue with a height of only a dozen centimeters, a simple shape, and a gilt statue that was mottled to almost fall off with words on the back.

"Boss, there are also words on the back of this bronze statue. ”

Hearing Zack's words, Zhang Nan walked over, took a closer look and said: "This is amazing, the earliest batch of Buddha statues in China, the ...... of the Sixteen Kingdoms period"

Zhang Nan explained that during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, that is, from 301 AD to 460 AD, the five Hus, mainly the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, and Di, were successively established in northern China.

Because there was a historian named Cui Hong of the Northern Wei Dynasty who wrote the "Spring and Autumn Period of the Sixteen Kingdoms" with sixteen of them, namely Wuliang, Siyan, Sanqin, Erzhao, Yicheng, and Yixia [, so later historians called this period "Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms", in fact, the number of countries in this period was much more than 16, and it was so chaotic!

“...... In the fourth century A.D., the Buddha statues in the entire Yellow River Valley of China were in this form, no matter where they came out, they were generally three or five centimeters high, seven or eight centimeters were considered large, and ten centimeters were very remarkable!

I think this one is 15 centimeters tall, amazing!

The Buddha statue should have flowed into China in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the earliest bronze Buddha with a clear date should be a bronze statue in the fourth year of Zhao Jianwu in the period of Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms, and in 338 AD.

At that time, Huaxia had just regarded the Buddha statue as a separate object of worship, and earlier there were Buddha statues, but except for the Western Regions, in the Central Plains, they were all relief and brick reliefs, and they were not objects of worship, but more like decoration. ”
