Looking at the piece of jade, Tang Yuan didn't think about it, and directly reached out to pick it up.

Lu Zi'an hurriedly grabbed him and scolded: "What are you crazy about!

Uncle Tang, who was striking iron on the side, was also dumbfounded, and didn't know what to do: "This, what can I do?"

"It's fine. Lu Zi'an glanced at it, picked up the iron tongs next to him, and gently took out the jade.

He swept over with a look, Ying Xuan had already reacted, and hurriedly took a bowl over: "Master, put it in here!"

"Hmm. Lu Zi'an gently put the jade into the bowl.

The jasper landed on the porcelain bowl with a crisp sound.

Although it was stained with some ashes and the color of the jade had faded by more than half, it was still very beautiful.

Lu Zi'an's eyes fixed on the jade and stretched out his hand: "Chopsticks." ”

Chopsticks?

Although he didn't know why, Zou Kai quickly went inside and took a pair of chopsticks out: "Here." ”

Reaching out to take the chopsticks, he slowly turned the jade.

The original jade material with a whole body of turquoise, that kind of pure transparency has disappeared.

It has a whitish underside and a very clear gradient from white to green in the middle.

What is rare is that now that it is slowly cooling down, the greenery of this jade itself has not faded, and the front is verdant.

"Yes, I'm sorry......" Tang Yuan's face turned pale, and cold sweat rolled on his forehead: "Master Lu, I didn't mean it, how much is your jade worth......?"

Uncle Tang slapped the back of his head and looked at Lu Zi'an with great sincerity: "I'm really sorry, Master Lu, Tang Yuan is just a hairy man, you must tell the real price, this money must be compensated to you." ”

But Lu Zi'an didn't look at them at all, he looked at this piece of jade over and over again, and the more he looked at it, the more happy he became.

The two of them couldn't help but look at him with trepidation.

Finally, Lu Zi'an spoke: "Have you heard of Tianliao?"

"Huh?"

Not only Uncle Tang was dumbfounded, but even Ying Xuan frowned in confusion.

"It is recorded in the "Historical Records and Feng Zen Book" that whenever there is a major festival or ceremony, the emperor will sacrifice to the heavens, the earth, the mountains, and the rivers. The corners of Lu Zi'an's lips rose slightly, and his voice was quiet: "They are called: Tian Liao, Di Yan [yì], Mountain Hanging, and Water Sinking." ”

"The ritual of sacrificing to the heavens ......" Zou Kai frowned slightly: "The major events of the country, are you worshipping and worshipping?"

During this training, he had carefully studied Chinese classical culture.

Lu Zi'an glanced at him happily and nodded: "Yes, in fact, since ancient times, there have been quite a lot of such rituals, such as the first month of spring, the merger of heaven and earth, the Mengxia Changyan ceremony, the midsummer festival, and the winter solstice sacrifice to the sky. ”

He picked up the piece of jade and looked quite happy: "People often use "jade" as a medium in worshiping the heavens and gods, and this ritual of burning jade or other jade ritual vessels with fire is the most important part of the sacrifice, which is called "Tianliao" in the literature. It is a ritual of sacrifice to the heavens in ancient times. ”

Ying Xuan listened very carefully, and a solemn picture seemed to emerge in his mind.

When the emperor travels, he must be the guard of honor first.

In the procession, the foremost is four elephants, which is called the guide elephant, followed by five elephants, this is called the treasure elephant, because the body is wearing a cushion made of jewelry, and the treasure bottle is also carried on the back, and the treasure bottle is placed in the velvet, flint, etc., which is the necessity in the old customs of Manchuria, and it is carried out during the sacrifice to show that it does not forget the original.

Behind is the band, then there are five kinds of luxury cars, such as gold chariots, jade chariots, elephant chariots, leather chariots, and wooden chariots, and there is a band of 180 people in the back.

Behind is the emperor's official procession, which stretches for miles.

The emperor prayed with Yukyu in a pious manner, and after the prayer was finished, he threw Yukyu into the fire to represent the completion of the ceremony.

"The history of Tianliao can be traced back to the Nuwa period. Lu Zi'an said slowly: "In "Huainanzi", there is "Nuwa refining five-colored stones to make up for the sky", Nuwa burning stones to worship the sky and later generations burning jade to worship the sky, there is a continuous relationship. ”

Ying Xuan probably understood, but he still had to ask, "Then if it is burned like this, is the jade still useful?"

This is exactly what Uncle Tang and the others care about the most, and their eyes immediately lit up, and they glanced at Ying Xuan gratefully, staring at Lu Zi'an with blazing eyes.

"Of course it works. At this time, the heat of jade had already dropped, and Lu Zi'an took it in his hand and played with it: "From the perspective of cultural relics, burning jade will cause local qualitative changes in jade, but from the perspective of jade carving, this is also an alternative kind of beautiful carving. ”

And this gradient color is very rare in jade, it can be said that this burning, the value of this jade has increased several times.

Even if it's unpolished now.

"Hey, you kid, it's so lucky!" Zou Kai slapped Tang Yuan's shoulder and said with a smile: "What are you doing with a sad face, don't you hear, this is a good thing!"

Tang Yuan trembled, and held back a sentence for a long time: "I'm sorry, I, I won't be so reckless in the future......"

Although Lu Zi'an doesn't blame him, this is really good luck, if he is unlucky, this jade is burned out, and he is afraid that he will have to go bankrupt to pay for it.

God knows, he was really scared just now.

Lu Zi'an didn't say anything, it's good if he gets a lesson, maybe he can be more restrained in the future.

After all, there is a difference between burning jade, if it is burned well, the value can be doubled, and if it is not burned well, the jade will be destroyed.

This all depends on fate, jade is precious after all, few people will be so willing to take a good jade to gamble on an unknown result.

"This kind of chicken bone white is rare. Lu Zi'an lifted the jade up and looked at the sunlight carefully: "It gradually becomes very natural and uniform......

He didn't rush to carve it, but enjoyed it seriously.

He enjoyed the silence of being in the company of jade.

Jade's tolerance, jade's wisdom, and jade's nature are all gradually displayed in this gentle and delicate relationship, bringing him a sense of observing the world.

I like jade, and what I like even more is that it has carried the weight of tens of millions of years, and it is still warm and jumpy, light and compassionate.

Lu Zi'an rubbed repeatedly, quietly feeling the impact of different senses brought by each rubbing.

The light of sight, the warmth of the touch, and the moistness of the feeling.

Playing with jade, it is in this rubbing again and again, savoring the subtle changes in the jade body.

And Lu Zi'an, after repeated rubbing, had a flash of inspiration.

Tianliao.

The reason why jade is expensive is because since ancient times, "jade" has occupied an almost deified position in the minds of the Chinese.

Zi said, "The gentleman is more virtuous than the jade".

And the "Five Classics of General Meaning" has the following: "Gentle and moist, similar to wisdom, sharp but not harmful, similar to benevolence, but not indefatigable, similar to righteousness, flawed in the inside must be seen outside, similar to faith, hanging like a fall, similar to courtesy."

The so-called five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, jade are all possessed, so the "Book of Songs" says that "the gentleman of words and thoughts, warm as jade".

Why is there a jade e?

Because people's respect for jade is getting worse and worse.

And the third jade in front of him is completely different from the first two.

In the first two jade years, although the attitude of the jade carvers was not sincere enough, there was no doubt about their reverence for jade.

Nowadays, many carvers have gone to great lengths to find a new way.

Some people's brains are so hard that they doubt their eyes.

There are those who use beautiful jade to carve beautiful sheep and sheep, and some even deliberately enlarge certain features when carving the Buddha statue of Guanyin to attract attention.

This kind of thing is completely for the sake of grandstanding and ignoring the waste of jade materials, which is simply a shame in the jade carving world!

Lu Zi'an will never forget that time he saw a Guanyin carved with plump breasts and fat buttocks, lying in a lying position, his clothes half open.

It's just unsightly.

It's just that such works are still sought after.

It is the inclusiveness of art in the new era, but what about the substance?

This is blasphemy against the gods!

This is a bad abuse of jade!

Slowly calming down his anger, Lu Zi'an picked up the tea and drank it all.

Holding the jade in his hand, he slowly clenched it.

If you want to change Yu'er, you have to fundamentally and completely reverse people's attitude towards jade.

Jade is not an object to show off, jade is a kind of inherited faith, it is also alive!

And faith is what people lack today.

So this is also in agreement with Lu Zi'an's original idea.

Doom is not in the jade, but in the hearts of people.

Lu Zi'an closed his eyes, and when he looked at the jade that had passed through the sky again, his gaze had returned to peace.

He thought, it's time to give a lecture.

After receiving Lu Zi'an's email, Yan Da had a brief calm.

Then the news was like a drop of water thrown into a pan of oil, detonating all the boiling points.

That's Lu Zi'an!

Peerless Childe!

Because Yan Da didn't mean to hide it, he generously arranged the classroom and time, and after discussing it with Lu Zi'an, it was set at the beginning of June, and it was only a few days away.

The middle of June is the college entrance examination, and after that, there is a holiday.

If in the past, all students were looking forward to the arrival of the holidays, wishing that every day they would open and close their eyes, and the day would pass.

But now, they just want each day to be a little longer.

It was just an ordinary lecture, but unexpectedly, and reasonably, it was fully booked in less than ten minutes.

Everyone can already imagine how full the classroom will be that day.

And some people began to discuss this matter on the Internet, at first it was limited to a small area, but after Yanda announced the time, it broke out in an instant!

[Looking up to Xueba, I regret that I didn't study hard, and now I can't even grasp such a good opportunity to flirt with a master. 】

[The boyfriend of my little brother's sister next door is Yan Daye, I don't know if you can take me one!?]

[Just think about it, oh, envy, jealousy and hate!]

[Senior brothers and sisters of Yan University!Can you help me ask for Master Lu's signature!Ahhhh

I have a flexible brain and have already begun to make an appointment for Lu Zi'an's signature, but if I can enter Yan University, where can I be so short-sighted.

As a result, Lu Zi'an's signature is the same as his works, which has no price, which makes many scalpers sigh.

Tsinghua University: [I think the more such lectures, the better, and the master should consider our university.] 】

Nanqi University: [Reconsideration.] 】

Yanghai University: [Reconsideration.] 】

……

Many colleges and universities have put down their figures, various interactions and Aite overnight.

Everyone is looking forward to it, will Master Lu agree?
