Chapter 391: Hidden Knife
"Why can't we take it with us? When we go back, we take the car anyway, and we don't have many things of our own, so wouldn't it be nice to do a check-in when we take the plane? I calculated, who can live for about two or three days without this mussel, which is enough for us to rush home." ”
Luo Tong stated his reasons one by one, Sheng Qiwu thought about it, and found that there was really nothing bad to bring, so he agreed.
"I think this mussel is a spinnaker mussel, there may be pearls in it, and you don't want to be impressed?"
Sheng Qiwu deliberately teased Luo Tong, usually such a big spinnaker mussel will have pearls, and I don't know if there is one.
"Will this mussel still be alive after taking the pearl?" Luo Tong blinked, she didn't believe Sheng Qiwu wouldn't know this.
Being seen through by Luo Tong's careful thinking, Sheng Qiwu touched his nose a little embarrassed.
"Generally speaking, if you take the pearl, the mussel will not survive. ”
"Then you still pry me!" Luo Tong glanced at Sheng Qiwu, this person just has such a little bad taste, and likes to watch her entangled, but it is harmless.
received Luo Tong's white eyes Sheng Qiwu sneered, who made Luo Tong pay so much attention to this river mussel.
In the next few days, because Uncle Duoji was going out to help Luo Tong find the little Tibetan mastiff, Luo Tong simply took over the grazing work and went out to shepherd the sheep with Danzhu every day.
Sheng Qiwu is naturally inseparable from Luo Tong, and sometimes Zhuoma will come together. This wide grassland left their laughter and laughter.
Luo Tong couldn't be easier to herd the sheep, she only needs to go out with the sheep every day, and the sheep will automatically and consciously gather around her, usually wherever she goes, the sheep will go, which also saves a lot of things.
In the past, Guori still needed to drive back the lambs who sneaked out of the flock, but now there is no such concern at all, with the big killer of Luo Tong, and I am worried that the little lambs will leave the herd?
As soon as Uncle Dorjee went out, it was two days, Luo Tong was full of expectations, and two days later, Uncle Dorjee returned empty-handed, and Luo Tong couldn't hide his disappointment.
Fortunately, Uncle Duoji had already given her a preventive injection before, and Luo Tong had already been mentally prepared.
Since the little Tibetan mastiff couldn't be found, Luo Tong and Sheng Qiwu were ready to go back.
Before leaving, Zhuoma's family packed up a lot of things, in addition to the air-dried mutton made by home, Uncle Duoji also gave two Tibetan knives to Sheng Qiwu and Luo Tong.
Luo Tong's favorite is this Tibetan knife, which is also known as the Tibetan waist knife.
It is not only an indispensable utensil for the production and life of the people in Tibetan areas, but also enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad because of its unique national characteristics in shape and craftsmanship.
Tibetan knives can be roughly divided into four plates: the front and rear Tibetan region, the Kampot region, the Amdo region and the Kham region.
It is often said that the Lhatse and Nanmulin Tibetan knives are the representatives of the Tibetan knives in the Tibetan areas before and after.
Latse and Nanmulin are located in the southwest of Shigatse, Tibet, and the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra River, with high altitude and many mineral deposits.
The Tibetan knives made by the craftsmen here pay attention to the steel fire of the blade and the practicality of the knife, and almost all of them are made of metal from the sheath to the handle, and most of them are silver and iron.
After thousands of years of practice and experience accumulation, a set of unique formulas have been formed in the knife making procedure, such as the use of Tibetan unique ghee, antelope blood and Tibetan green fruit during quenching, which are repeatedly forged.
Therefore, the Tibetan Lhatse and Nanmulin Tibetan knives have the reputation of "sharpness" in the whole Tibet. The scabbard and handle of the knife are generally not inlaid with jewels, either iron or silver, and some will also have some auspicious patterns engraved on them.
Located in the Nyingchi area of eastern Tibet, also known as the Kampot area, it is inhabited by the Tibetans, Menba and Loba ethnic groups.
The mountains here are high and dense, wild beasts are infested, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and people are commonplace to hunt. Therefore, people use knives in terms of width and length.
The scabbard is mostly wooden, and the outside is wrapped in animal skin, usually from the skin of the beast's leg bones, and some with claws. The external decoration is mainly the color of the coat and the toes and claws attached to the hide. In addition to hunting and fighting, it is also a sharp weapon for people to cut thorns and thorns in the dense forest.
Kang District people have a rough and bold character, knives for them, mainly a weapon of battle, they love knives more than love cattle and sheep, a good knife is a wealth, and its image will be tall because of it.
Because of this, they not only have high requirements for the sword itself, but also have a special preference for the external shape of the sword as a foil to the samurai.
The scabbard material is generally made of yellow, white copper or sterling silver, inlaid with beads and inlaid treasures, the front is carved with dragon painting style, and the back line is engraved with curly grass, which is worn on the body, which plays a dual role of beauty and deterrence.
The Amdo area is mainly based on grazing, and the herdsmen's knives are mainly used for slaughtering and eating meat, and there is a strict distinction between men and women, with the length of the men's knife being more than one foot, and the women's knife being about one at a glance, and the bottom of the scabbard and the end of the handle are upturned in the shape of a boat.
Amdo loved jewelry, and the headdress, chest ornament, and waist ornament were all glorious, and these ornaments were also used on knives, and the scabbard and handle anchor were gold and silver, and inlaid with Sansan and turquoise, like a fine work of art.
The official name of the Tibetan knife is "folding knife". Legend has it that it was named in honor of the hero Zhelegampo.
Legend has it that in ancient times, most of the herdsmen on the Tibetan steppe owned Tibetan knives. However, in order to maintain their power, the herdsman and the head man coerced the herdsmen to exchange knives.
Many herders have been taken away for refusing to hand over their Tibetan knives. When the news reached the ears of the hero Zelganbu, in order to save his countrymen, he jumped on his horse and slew the shepherd and the headman with a sword.
It was only because he was outnumbered that he shed the last drop of blood. In order to commemorate him, the herdsmen renamed the Tibetan knife "Zhele Ganbu Knife", or "Folding Knife" for short.
Tibetan knife has production, life, self-defense, decoration 4 uses, has more than 1600 years of production history, exquisite workmanship, the blade is forged with steel, the handle is made of horn or hard wood.
Because of the delicate forging, delicate engraving, dazzling colors, and attached to Tibetan, tied with colorful stems and spikes, forming a unique Tibetan handicraft. Especially when a friend is married or has a baby, the owner will be especially happy to give a Tibetan knife.
The decorative content of the Tibetan knife has the dragon and phoenix, the curly grass pattern, the geometric whirlwind pattern and other blocks of the two-sided continuous, independent three-dimensional shape small decoration in the Buddha eight treasures in the vase, lotus, ** and so on.
The forms of expression include relief, hollowing and pinched inlay. Generally, the handle of the knife is inlaid with shark skin or black horns, which is easy to hold and not easy to slip off. In addition to the undulating layers of the surface and the change of patterns, the overall shape of the knife is equidistant or symmetrically embellished with coral, agate, etc. inlaid with vermilion, pink and green.
