Chapter 10 Research

The tooth of the Buddha is difficult to verify, the so-called difficult to verify, not that any thing can be said to be the treasure left by Sakyamuni without being exposed, but there is no way to use modern science and technology to distinguish the true and false, the tooth of the Buddha is not wood, it is the supreme holy object in the eyes of the monks, and if you want to take a knife to scrape off some materials to do a chronological identification, it is to be desperate, the experts have not mentioned this matter, but this was only said for a few minutes, the monks of the Huguo Temple made a fuss, and then rushed into a hundred and ten believers, this formation came out, where did the experts dare to say what chronological identification, and discussed for a long time, and then came up with a few solutions.

There is no way, after all, for thousands of years, there are guys who have used dog teeth to deceive dignitaries and nobles, such as carp crossing the river, emerging endlessly, if everyone can succeed, it is too underestimated to underestimate the heroes of this world.

One of these methods, relying on this color and texture, such as jade is one of the characteristics of this Buddha's tooth, but this method can only deal with fakes with little technical content, during the Five Dynasties, there were monks who ate leopard gall to run to India to fool around, and then brought back something inexplicable, a bite to be sure that this is the supreme Buddha's tooth, at that time there was a person named Zhao Feng, very good at this kind of thing, found a sledgehammer to smash down, smashed a smash, this bold monk was naturally cut off his head, went to find Shakyamuni to pull teeth, Buddha's tooth is not burned, forging can not be destroyed, although many people do not dare to do this kind of thing against the Buddha, But people like Zhao Feng Han Yu are not uncommon, as long as they encounter one, they will be unlucky, so later, the trade of forging Buddha teeth is only possible for professionals to do it, Li Shizhen has a lot of experience in this, saying that if it is fake, the best material is bear teeth, the color and texture of this thing are no different from Buddha teeth, and it is still that virtue to burn for a long time, and it is even more wasted to smash it with a hammer, so although this Buddha tooth looks good, but who knows if it is made by professionals, those experts also understand this truth, after seeing the color, they just said carefully, maybe it is true。

Since this method can not be determined, then can only take the second way, it is the so-called historical collection, the historical collection plays a great role in archaeology, after all, no one has ever seen what the Buddha tooth looked like thousands of years ago, the experts flipped through the book, and found that the Buddha tooth found in the Huguo Temple, but it is very similar to the description in the book, Tang Xuanzang's "Tang Dynasty Western Regions Chronicle of the Buddha Tooth Jialan" recorded that "the Buddha's tooth can be an inch and a half long, its color is yellow and white, or to the fasting day, when the light is bright", And Wang Qinruo's "Book of Yuan Turtle" recorded that the Buddha tooth offered by Tang Shu Shou Meng Zhixiang was "one inch and six minutes long", and the Japanese monk Chengxun's "Legend of Wutai Mountain" contained the Buddha's tooth "one inch and three minutes long, six points wide, and four points thick" and so on. These evidences fully show that there is indeed no problem with the appearance of this Buddha tooth, but even if it is, it is not 100% sure that this thing is real, so the last step is to look at the inheritance and evidence of this Buddha tooth.

In the archaeological circle, there is a term, called inheritance order, which means that this thing has traces to follow in history, and there is a clear record every time it changes hands, although it is not true to say that it is not good, but after all, it is well documented, even if you look away, you can completely push the responsibility away, and say something that the ancients did not have long eyes, and what is the matter with me.

Experts read a lot, we carefully studied for a long time, really find out something, history, this Baoguo Temple Buddha tooth is really inherited in an orderly manner, first by the Tang monk Wukong from the Gandhara royal city brought back to Chang'an, into the palace after enshrined in the Great Solemn Temple Buddha Tooth Pagoda, and then Tang Xizong brought to Chengdu, to the five generations after the Tang was brought to Luoyang, after the Jin Dynasty from Luoyang to Kaifeng, the Northern Song Dynasty Renzong Dynasty fell into the hands of Queen Cao, offered in the Hongfu Courtyard of Xianping County, and then was found by Shen Kuo passing by, given to Wang Anshi, and then fell into the hands of Shenzong, was placed in the Great Xiangguo Temple by Shenzong to worship, after the tossing and turning into the Jiawang Palace, and finally was taken away by this Zhao Shichang, disappeared in the long river of history, and Zhao Shichang was buried in this Huguo Temple.

Although there is such evidence, but there are still a few who don't believe it, everyone look at me, I look at you, all hit this idea on Zhao Shichang, as long as it is proved that the so-called Zhao Shichang burial place is a fake, then the Buddha's tooth will naturally have a conclusion, everyone can't scratch the Buddha's tooth, can't you scrape the Buddha statue in the tomb, and those porcelain pieces, this thing can always be taken to identify it, but the result made these people disappointed, the copper Buddha is really a thing of the Song Dynasty, and the porcelain is also a genuine cultural relic, but no one noticed that the bronze Buddha in the main hall of the Huguo Temple seems to be a little new and excessive, and everyone surrounds this tomb all day long

Turn, no one would have thought that this guy had recently made a trip to Henan, and there was this kind of porcelain in that place.

In desperation, everyone only nodded and recognized, and the results were not clear, but in the current situation, there seems to be no problem with this Buddha tooth, if the conditions allow, it is recommended to conduct further identification through the age identification, but the reporters have collected the money from the monks, and naturally will not write the following words into the report, everyone knows that in this era, what is needed is explosive news, so as to attract everyone's attention, by the way, the limelight, no pain, no itch no conclusion of the report, but few people love to see.

With such a report, the authenticity of this Buddha's tooth naturally does not need to be said, Shanxi is full of gold, dozens of BMWs on a street are nothing, people have money, and their minds are naturally more, now this world, is not a hard work to get rich can be successful, everyone has some disgraceful means, when there is no development, but can still say: "A single one, what is terrible?" But after making a fortune, I am always worried that one day, the east window incident, or the lack of virtue to do too much, sooner or later retribution will be added, lying down can also be shot, the heart is empty, I think of the Buddha is coming, the Buddha is the most kind, no matter what you did before, as long as you put down the butcher knife, you can become a Buddha on the ground, those things before have been revealed, as if it did not happen, it turns out that everyone goes to burn incense and worship the Buddha, are to the big temple in the field, where the fame is not small, naturally more effective than this local small temple, but now, Sushan actually out of the Buddha's tooth such a thing, do you not go to Huguo Temple to go to Zhoushan to cheat money to the monk with only one mouth？

But a few days, the pilgrims of this Huguo Temple have increased, overnight, Sushan has become the world of outsiders, the monks have made a fortune, and they have not forgotten to drink hot soup for the people of this Sushan, even the people who sell baked cakes have begun to advertise, the tone is scary, what to say because the company is busy with business, urgently hire people with lofty ideals, and seek common development, several college students rushed to the door with the certificate, only to find that the recruitment is just some and noodles. Rome was not built in a day, but the prosperity of Sushan, but it is really a matter of a few days, although Zhang Huai'an complained a few words, saying that the price is scary, even he, the deputy county magistrate, did not dare to go to the hall to improve his life, but the smile on his face, anyone can see it, the so-called rising tide lifts all boats, this Huguo Temple has a great reputation, he is naturally a little different as a responsible leader, even the secretary of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee has met him specifically for this matter, vaguely a meaning of wooing, some words do not need to be said, this kind of thing is just a pen for Zhang Huai'an, add a name, let the secretary of the municipal party committee take a look at this kind of business is really cost-effective。

"Rich and dangerous!" Zhang Huai'an shook his head and sighed, don't forget to dig the well, what to do with the following things, Zhang Huai'an still doesn't understand, this stall is not his, it is so big, it has made him feel a little difficult to control, although there are some happy news on the surface, but these days, Zhang Huai'an has not slept for a good night, he even began to worry, the paper will not be able to contain the fire, what is the origin of the Buddha's tooth, Miao Ya has long said it clearly, Zhang Huai'an has not objected, but he has already fallen into the oil pit, Miao Ya is holding the handle in his hand is this tinder, if he doesn't do it, it will be a burn to death, do it, not only has a glimmer of life, even the benefits are a lot, such a thing is not something that he, a chess piece, can decide.

"What kind of character does County Magistrate Zhang think he is?" Miao Ya just smiled faintly, but what he said was something 108,000 miles away.

"Me?" Zhang Huaian was stunned, thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "I'm not even as good as you as a liar, what face do you have to say that you are a character?"

"What about the county magistrate, the secretary of the county party committee, the mayor, and the secretary of the municipal party committee, and what kind of people are they?" asked Miao Ya again.

"Hmph, it's not an afterthought, when this Buddha tooth hasn't come out yet, when you see me, which one is not arrogant, but now, seeing that I have made some achievements, I began to think about putting gold on my face, when I am down, who is willing to stretch out a hand and pull a hand?" Zhang Huaian sneered and snorted disdainfully.

"In this matter, I'm afraid that even the leaders of the province have a share, according to the practice in this officialdom, I have to say a few words with the support of the leaders, since everyone is rushing to jump up, why should County Magistrate Zhang worry that the ship will sink?"

"You mean, kidnapping?" Zhang Huaian was stunned, then laughed and said: "That's true, if something happens, I'm not the only one who is unlucky, everyone has a share!"

"County Magistrate Zhang is just a small person, something happened, this official doesn't do it, but the people above, after all these years of hard work, how can they be tied up, some things, they still have to do, we plant the seeds, naturally someone will make it become a giant tree that covers the sky, if the day falls, naturally there are others to worry about, County Zhang An'an is to do things, the people of Sushan will always remember who made their hometown a fertile soil full of flowers. ”
