Chapter 325: Four Figurines of the Tang Tomb
In the end, Xiao Ying placed a total of four things on an empty note.
It is also the four antiques that the blue light of the nebula mirror shines on.
Yu Yao looked at them one by one, and couldn't help but ask Lin Shaocong, "These four pieces must be from the same tomb, right?
These are four Tang San painted pottery figurines.
Among them, two of the Heavenly King figurines have basically the same appearance, both of them are dressed in bright light armor, with a tie at the waist, and boots on both feet, and a dragon's head with shoulder guards and armor on the abdomen.
However, the posture of the two figurines is different, one is frowning, the eyes are wide open, the mouth is open, and the posture is bared; Another Heavenly King figurine has a majestic face, her lips are closed, one hand is behind her back, and the other hand is raised into a fist.
There are also two civil figurines, the posture and expression are generally similar, both hands folded on the chest, the expression is solemn and solemn; although the clothes are both long robes and large sleeves, they are slightly different, and the crown is also different.
The four terracotta figurines have green, brown, white and yellow colored glazes, and the glaze is bright and slightly bright.
"Mr. Yu has good eyesight, it is indeed from the same tomb, and I bought it from Hong Kong Island, with my eyesight, I can determine the authenticity, but I can't tell when it was unearthed; after I bought it, I looked at it with a master, but I was told that the unearthed time was not long, and I don't know how to get to Hong Kong Island. Therefore, it is advisable to keep them separately. ”
Xiao Ying nodded, "This is the town tomb and burial vessel of the same tomb. If we have been guarding for more than 1,000 years, we must not only be open to the public, but also pay attention to the orientation; the position you have placed before has also been pointed out by a master, right? ”
In the history of China, there are two very famous dynasties with thick burials, one is the Han and the other is the Tang. The Han Dynasty was mainly the Western Han Dynasty, and gradually declined after the Eastern Han Dynasty, until the Tang Dynasty, when the style of thick burials prevailed again.
Therefore, the favorite of tomb robbers is the Han tomb and the Tang tomb.
Especially the Tang tomb, as long as it has not been stolen and excavated before, as soon as the curtain opens, there are often thousands of things.
In the Tang tombs, in addition to gold, silver and jade, terracotta figurines are the most abundant variety. The so-called Tang Sancai is from the glaze technology, and from the Tang Dynasty pottery figurines of the Tang Dynasty, there are people, animals, utensils, everything.
The name Tang Sancai, only in the Republic of China, and in the Republic of China, most collectors will not collect Tang Sancai, if you have no intention of getting it, it will happen on the spot to smash and bury.
Tang Sancai was first picked up by foreigners, believing that this kind of terracotta figurine art is unique in the history of Chinese ceramics and has a very high level.
Over the years, the Chinese people have also attached great importance to Tang Sancai, and many people care whether it is a dark vessel, and it is still placed on the Bogu shelf as a collection.
Lin Shaocong is obviously the same.
These four terracotta figurines are not in the same position in the tomb.
In the Tang Dynasty, the figurines of the heavenly kings were generally placed on both sides of the tomb door in pairs, and there would also be a pair of tomb beasts, sometimes with the twelve zodiac terracotta figurines, the role of which was naturally to drive away evil spirits in the tomb.
The location of the figurines is not fixed, but they tend to be inside the tomb and not near the tomb door. But it will also be more independent and will not be placed with animal shapes such as three-color horses.
Lin Shaocong listened to what Xiao Ying said, and hurriedly said, "Please also ask Master Xiao for further guidance." ”
"It's not that the artifacts can't be collected, and there are a lot of artifacts in the antiques, but these four terracotta figurines are from the same tomb, and it is obvious that the owner of the tomb had a very high status during his lifetime, and the setting in the tomb is also extraordinary. The main role of this pair of figurines is to protect the tomb, and the main role of this pair of civil figurines is to accompany. After more than 1,000 years, we have 'induction' with each other. ”
When Yu Yao heard this, he couldn't help frowning, born in a new era, living in an environment where science and technology are developing with each passing day, although he has seen Xiao Ying's own methods, but these chaotic strange gods on external objects are more or less unacceptable.
Xiao Ying looked at Yu Yao, "Let me put it another way, in a closed environment, coupled with the influence of the 'breath' of the tomb owner's body, and at the same time, there is also the exquisitely designed layout of the tomb, and the objects in the tomb, after more than a thousand years, will produce a subtle connection similar to a spiritual magnetic field." After death, spiritual power may not disappear, and the ancients often used the soul to describe it. ”
Lin Shaocong also looked at Yu Yao, and said in his heart that Master Xiao was really extraordinary to him, a master of Xuanmen, because he frowned, and he had to combine something similar to "science" to explain.
Xiao Ying continued, "To put it simply, after the excavation of these four terracotta figurines from the Tang Tomb, the 'induction' between each other has been reduced, and after you brought them into this collection room, it was originally an 'opportunity', but you have the guidance of a master to place them separately in different directions, so that the 'induction' has not been strengthened." However, although this nebula mirror of the Han Dynasty has long been unearthed, it is not an ordinary bronze mirror itself. ”
"Magic weapon?" Lin Shaocong couldn't help but speak.
"It's not a magic weapon, it's a thing used in the Taoist sect and other Xuanmen. However, this is a mirror to ward off evil spirits, hanging on the lintel of the main house, feeling the heavens and the earth, driving away ghosts and evil spirits, and the ordinary nebula mirror is different. ”
Yu Yao nodded again and again, "The details of the shape are indeed different from the ordinary Western Han Dynasty Nebula Mirror, the milk is larger, the connection is thicker, and the shape of the arc cloud pattern is a bit strange, and at the same time, the arc cloud pattern of the Western Han Dynasty Nebula Mirror is more than sixteen, but this side is twelve." ”
"Twenty-eight nakshatras correspond to the celestial phenomena, and twelve are corresponds to the earthly branches. "Xiao Ying bowed his head, "Major Cong placed this nebula mirror in the center of the collection room facing the door, so that it can illuminate the whole situation;
Lin Shaocong still didn't speak, but a cold sweat broke out, and his heart palpitated.
"One shot and four figurines, and this is a formation. In fact, there are similar situations in nature, because of some sudden change, such as new buildings, which leads to local environmental changes, resulting in many strange phenomena that are difficult to explain, which is also a 'array'. The so-called array can also be interpreted as a small independent special magnetic field. ”
When Yu Yao heard this, he couldn't help but nod secretly.
Xiao Ying smiled at Yu Yao, then looked at Lin Shaocong and said, "And this 'array' in your collection room is mainly generated by evil qi. In fact, when people's graves are picked up, the original 'array' is destroyed, and the terracotta figurines in the original tomb are infected with the resentment of the tomb owner, or the negative spiritual power, is stimulated in the new 'array', and you will be counterattacked. ”
"Ah, so I'm not completely liberated yet, Master Xiao, is there a cure?"
"You're questioning my professional abilities. Xiao Ying looked at Lin Shaocong with a smile.
"I was just in a hurry and blurted out, I just meant to ask Master Xiao to continue to teach. Lin Shaocong immediately explained, "Please also ask Master Xiao not to be surprised." ”
"Don't worry, you can afford me, I will keep you safe!"
