Chapter 15: The Treasure Pavilion
Everyone came to the lounge of the No. 2 small hall of the canteen to drink tea and taste fruits. The waiter served tea and fruits one by one, all of which were self-produced by Xuantianguan, who was in the plantation on the terraces in the middle of the mountain. There are still hundreds of acres of self-reserved land on the slopes of Xuantianguan Mountain, plus hundreds of acres of paddy fields at the foot of the mountain, so Xuantianguan can be self-sufficient.
Xiang Ming accompanied the first person, mainly to explain some allusions to Xuantianguan, which caused the first and second people to laugh happily from time to time. After resting for half an hour, Xiang Ming continued to lead everyone to visit, of course, the third courtyard will not take everyone in, that is the inner courtyard. If you are not in the view, even a few people in the view can go in, and you are not allowed to go in. It was a place where Taoist priests rested and meditated. Exclusion zone.
In fact, there is still a small hall in the third major courtyard, which is the dojo where the elders of the past dynasties usually practice chanting. The innermost is the fourth courtyard, which is the residence of Xiang Ming and the nameless Taoist, this courtyard is not as big as the three major courtyards in front, and the buildings next to it are high, this is chic, the kind of one-story house that usually shoots the Forbidden City. One hall and two wings. There are 6 of these houses here. I will introduce this later. There is no trembling here.
Xiang Ming took everyone to visit the two-story attic of the first branch on the left side of the second courtyard. It is said that it is an attic, and it is not small. The entire first branch is one of these large attics on one side. This is the treasure pavilion of the Xuantian Temple. There are three branches on each side of the second courtyard, and this kind of attic has a treasure pavilion on the left and a library pavilion on the right. Now Xiang Ming takes everyone to see the attic called Jubao Mansion. After an aunt in her 50s opened the door lock, Xiang Ming pushed the door and entered, and the door slowly moved to both sides with a "creak" sound. Everyone's eyes kept moving with the turn of the gate. After all the doors were opened, everyone got used to the light, and there was a process of adaptation from the outside to the inside, from bright to black.
Everyone entered the door one by one. The first person is, of course, the first one, "Wow" This is a hall of several thousand square meters. Not to mention the rows and layers of wooden shelves in the hall like library bookcases. Each large cabinet has more than a dozen layers, and there are more than 50 centimeters in each layer, of course, not all cabinets are 50 centimeters, and some are cultural relics and antiques with large objects, anyway, this hall is full of photos. The construction of this hall is superb, this hall is 80 meters long and 60 meters wide, and there is not a single pillar, which would be easy to build in modern times, but it is ancient, there is no reinforced concrete, and it is all built of large wood. Not to mention a hall on the second floor. Listening to Xiang Ming's introduction, the above arrangement is also like this, which is incredible, mainly because this load-bearing problem is very difficult to solve. However, Xiang Ming didn't tell the first person the truth, this treasure pavilion was built with a formation, using a lot of special materials. If you don't use a special method, then so many precious cultural relics and antiques can be preserved, the formation of the treasure pavilion and special materials can achieve dustproof, mildew-proof, moth-proof, anti-oxidation, etc., the usual preservation of cultural relics encountered problems.
This is the first thing that everyone is amazed at when they enter the door is that the hall is large and not supported by a single pillar. The second was immediately attracted by what was on the shelf. Xiang Ming will definitely not introduce these treasures one by one, but just let everyone enjoy them casually. But you can see it, you can't touch it. Beware of being electrocuted. Xiang Ming repeatedly told everyone. Xiang Ming introduced: These treasures are placed from the far and near of the age, the older they are, the more they are placed inside or the building, and the treasure pavilion has a total of six pavilions, that is, 6 attics. The first row is the recent treasure "Wow" jade cabbage, jade winter melon, and jade tree and other jade shelves. Everyone who watched had green eyes. Everyone is reluctant to move, if it is not for the aisle can only accommodate a little more than one figure, it is not good to step forward, no one dares to go wrong, now the first person in front is the first person in it, he does not move, who dares to move a step.
Xiang Ming is in second place, as a commentator. There are too many treasures, everyone is a person who knows the goods, and the good and bad can be evaluated, and everyone in the Forbidden City is not less. The ability to discern treasures and antiques is somewhat substantial. Now they are all national treasure-level things here, and we can't help but shock everyone, is it that Xuantianguan has stolen the Forbidden City. Are all the things in the Forbidden City fake, they are really all here.
There are too many national treasure-level things, the treasures here in the Xuantian Temple can not be super level, the ancient emperors will come here to worship and pay tribute, can you not take out good things, and where the name of the stele forest in the mountain gate can be imagined, how rich the treasures of the Xuantian Temple are, as long as the emperors find good things, they would rather not play with them or send them over 800 miles quickly. In their hearts, the Xuantian Temple is extremely awe-inspiring and respectful. The first person took the lead in looking at a dozen shelves. Slowly turning from the outside to the inside, there are many kinds of jade, calligraphy and painting, bronze, porcelain, etc., all of which are at the level of treasures. Seeing Tang Bohu's true works surprised everyone a lot. It's too much, the bookshelves are full of layers, and Xiang Ming personally unfolded a few for everyone to enjoy. It's really the real thing.
Xiang Ming said that there are not only dozens of authentic works of Tang Bohu here, but also many authentic works of famous artists. There are all the paintings of the top ten masters, and there are quite a few of them.
Everyone was numb, and they were shocked from the moment they entered the Taoist temple, they were all treasures, and they were full of mystery. Anyway, they all think that a trip to Xuantianguan will be unforgettable for a lifetime, and it is worth it to come here even if it is worth ten years.
I didn't take you to take a closer look below, just turned a little half, of course, it was a fancy, and I just appreciated the place where I could see the occasion, that is, the left and right sides of the body, as well as several layers of treasures, it was impossible for the first person to bend down and bow down to look at the bottom of the layers or move a ladder to see the upper floors. The shelves of the Treasure Pavilion are too high, just like a 20-meter-long, 4-meter-high, 8-storey cabinet with hundreds of treasures, if it is placed according to the Palace Museum, it is estimated that a shelf of treasures will occupy a large exhibition hall. One can imagine how many treasures there are in the hall on the first floor of this treasure pavilion. Tens of thousands. If the other five pavilions in the surrounding area were all like this, it is estimated that the collection of the Palace Museum in Kyoto would not be as good as here.
But Xiang Ming didn't tell them how many things they had here. Looking at the attention of some people, I want Xuantianguan to donate the objects to the country, so that more people can see them. Is it used to being an official, when he says this, the first person will immediately scold someone as soon as he hears that someone is not keeping his mouth shut. "Shut up" and go back to write a 100,000-word inspection, and if you can't write it, you will go to the Commission for Discipline Inspection to turn yourself in. I ate too much lard and had a sick brain. Don't look at what kind of place it is. We are very faceless and embarrassed to come to the empty view. You don't know what this place is, but I know it. The old man gave himself a preventive shot, and the former boss also explained again and again. Don't look at Xiang Mingxiao and bully him, but Xiang Ming respects me now, that is to give himself face, it is to give himself a respect, don't look at the shouting of Xiang Ming's left chief and right chief, that is not steady, if Xiang Ming calls grandpa or old man like other elders, then he will really treat him as his own person and you are welcome. Now some of his subordinates are dizzy and say that they will ask Xuantianguan to donate some cultural relics to the above. If it weren't for the presence of foreign guests from South Vietnam, I would have liked to slap him a few times. Xiang Ming just smiled, the things in the Xuantian Temple have only been in and out since ancient times, and we don't need to sell the interests in the view now to tie up with anyone, seek any officials, or make money. Xuantian Temple was originally a dojo, Xiang Ming's original profession was a Taoist, it is impossible for his own job to do other things without his profession, we are pursuing the supreme Taoism, and the pursuit of immortality.
Going to be an official is just a side hustle. By the way. Do you need to talk to anyone? It's a big deal to retreat again, no more outsiders, no more going out. There's nothing in the view. Not to mention that the fields in the temple can be self-sufficient, not to mention that the agricultural products that have not been eaten over the years have been stored, and it is no problem to eat for hundreds of years. Not to mention the almighty magical Qiankun ring, there are things stored by Xiang Ming.
Xiang Ming had to end the visit early, on the grounds that it was past 5 o'clock and it was time for dinner. Everyone didn't speak again, and went out with Xiang Ming, walked through a courtyard gate, and came to the canteen of the second compound again.
