"Aren't they all the same?Ruyi doesn't just have a nice name, and it's all used to tickle......" The fat man was very unconvinced by Fang Yi's words, he rarely knew the origin of an antique, so he naturally didn't want to be denied by Fang Yi. The initials of the new domain name Kele Novel Network (k1xsw), the largest free romance Chinese website, hurry up.

"I said, this thing was originally used for tickling, but those wishful shapes are different from this one......"

Fang Yi shook his head and said: "During the Qin Dynasty, Ruyi was still used as an itch, but in the Han Dynasty and later dynasties, this thing was divided into two branches, one became a pure tickle, and the other played the role of "Chao Wat" and "Hand Board......"

"What are Chao Wat and Prototype?" The fat man was confused when he heard it, as far as his little antique knowledge reserves, at best, he was fooling people like Si Yuanjie who didn't understand anything.

"Have you ever watched a TV series in ancient costumes?" Fang Yi was too lazy to explain carefully with the fat man.

"I've seen it, what kind of Liu Luo pot was played last year, isn't it ancient?" The fat man didn't quite understand what Fang Yi meant, but he still answered his words.

"Yes, Liu Luoguo is Liu Luoguo......" Fang Yi opened his mouth and said: "Fatty, have you noticed, when Liu Luoguo's ministers go to the court, they will hold something in their hands, and that thing is called Chaowat or a hand board......

"Hey, I know this, that thing seems to be used by the minister to write something on it for fear of forgetting things......"

Fang Yi has the potential to be a teacher, this connection to the real thing, the fat man immediately understood, and also drew inferences about the role of Chao Wat, in fact, he knew this thing, but he didn't know how to read Wat, so he didn't know that Fang Yi was talking about an object.

"Yes, after the Han Dynasty, Ruyi replaced the role of the court wat for a period of time, but in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Ruyi became purely a plaything for emperors and dignitaries......

In fact, this thing of Ruyi was in ancient times. It can be used as a tool for self-defense, and can also be used as a command on behalf of the commander in the war, implying that everything goes well. Good luck.

As a mascot, Ruyi is widely used in the folk and the court, and when people travel far away, family members or friends will send Ruyi to express good wishes. In the Qing Dynasty, "Ruyi" became the emperor's pet in the court.

For example, at the emperor's enthronement ceremony, the ministers in charge of ceremonies must present a "ruyi" to wish the government a harmonious and new policy smooth, and when the emperor meets foreign envoys, he must also give "ruyi" to show the friendship between the two countries and the peace of the country and the people.

In the bedrooms of the emperor and concubines, there are "Ruyi" to nourish their nature. Especially in the wedding of the emperor and queen, and the longevity of the palace, and the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Day, the ministers need to offer a lot of "Ruyi", in order to imply that the emperor and queen are safe and auspicious, and the stars are shining.

It can be seen that a small "Ruyi" has become a precious thing integrating court etiquette, Han folk exchanges, and furnishings and entertainment in the Qing Dynasty.

It's just that time has passed, and many of the things that have been prevalent in history are basically invisible in today's popular consumer market. These ornaments may only be found in antique shops or antique markets.

"What does the emperor use?" Hearing Fang Yi mention that the emperor also used this thing, the fat man's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then how much is this thing worth?"

"It's hard to say, Ruyi's shape is generally divided into three ......"

Fang Yi reached out and took the ruyi in his hand. Said: "The first is a straight-handled Ruyi, with simple lines, called Tianguan Ruyi, and the second is this one, do you see that the top of it looks like a Ganoderma lucidum? It is called Lingzhi Ruyi......

The third type of zuò is more troublesome, and it uses precious gems such as jade, agate, tourmaline, coral, ivory, and jadeite. Inlaid in the precious rosewood mahogany or copper gilt, this is called three-inlay Ruyi, and ordinary people can't afford to play it......"

Ruyi belongs to the category of antiques and miscellaneous, Sun Lianda is not very proficient, but Yu Xuan has a soft spot for Ruyi, and in the few lessons given to Fang Yi, he focused on Ruyi.

"Brother Fang, I'...... My grandfather said that this thing was given to my grandfather's master by the emperor, and then the ancestor passed it on to my grandfather......"

After listening to Fang Yi's explanation of Ruyi's history, Si Yuanjie said on the side: "My grandfather said that if this thing is taken to the city, at least it can be exchanged for a house, which is very valuable......

"The emperor rewarded your grandfather's master?"

Fang Yi couldn't straighten out the relationship that Si Yuanjie said for a while, but thinking of Si Yuanjie's origin, Fang Yi suddenly understood, nodded and said, "This thing of yours is indeed the craftsmanship of the Qing Dynasty palace office, and it was given to Dong Haichuan by Prince Su, right?"

When Fang Yi rubbed this tortoiseshell Ruyi with his hand, he sensed its age with a trace of divine sense, so although he couldn't identify the appearance of the tortoiseshell Ruyi, he could conclude that this tortoiseshell Ruyi made of exquisite yellow and black intertwined was definitely an object from the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

"You...... How do you know about me...... My family's ancestor is Dong Haichuan?" Hearing Fang Yi's words, Si Yuanjie raised his head suddenly.

"Is that hard to guess?"

Fang Yi laughed when he heard this, and said: "You have the kung fu of Baguazhang, your grandfather is called Si Yuangong, and your grandfather is a disciple of Dong Haichuan, as long as anyone who knows some about Baguazhang knows it......"

"Huh, I ...... Is my grandfather so famous?"

Hearing Fang Yi's words, Si Yuanjie was a little dumbfounded, because although he had never seen his grandfather, he had heard his grandfather say that their Si family had followed the words of their ancestor Dong Haichuan and had never been out of the countryside for several generations, but Si Yuanjie's parents went to work in other places in the mid-nineties.

But I don't know if it was because he didn't listen to the ancestral teachings, Si Yuanjie's parents unfortunately suffered a car accident when they returned to their hometown for the Spring Festival the year before last, and both parents died at the same time, leaving only Si Yuanjie and his grandfather to rely on each other.

"Your grandfather is not very famous, his reputation lies in Dong Haichuan's disciple......"

Fang Yi didn't know much about Si Yuangong's vein, he just heard the old Taoist priest say that Si Yuangong was Dong Haichuan's apprentice, so after trying Si Yuanjie's kung fu today and hearing his surname Si, he immediately thought of Si Yuangong's vein......

"So that's the case......" Hearing Fang Yi's words, Si Yuanjie felt a little bit lost in his heart, who doesn't want his ancestor to be a big hero. (To be continued.) )
