When I came here just now, it wasn't like this!

"What's going on?" Sun Zhongyuan couldn't help but say. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThis situation is neither like a happy event nor a funeral, I don't know what kind of fame is being done.

"This courtyard was originally several small courtyards. When I came last year, I hadn't built this big yard yet. Haragami said, "Go and see." ”

Sun Zhongyuan responded.

It's not that they are troublesome, but that Hara Shangxue died in this village, and this potential psychological connection made them involuntarily make such a decision.

When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I found that the gate was wide open.

In this courtyard, a large yellow tent was set up, in front of the tent, there were two large incense burners, and there was a table in the middle, with various books.

In the courtyard, there are many villagers standing, and there are also many in the tents. In the Buddhist shrine inside the tent, there is a bronze Buddha statue.

In front of the bronze Buddha statue, some people kneel and worship in turn. Next to him, there is a man in his fifties with a rickety figure, with a small face and big eyes, like a host.

Sun Zhongyuan and Yuan Shangcao walked into the tent, no one asked, no one stopped them, everyone knelt and knelt, worshipped, and discussed, each busy with their own things.

Walking next to the bronze Buddha statue, Sun Zhongyuan's eyes couldn't help but light up.

This is a tantric Green Tara standard Buddha statue!

Gold and bronze Buddha statues are a very special category in the collection, and the artistic value is often not low, and there is also a Buddhist heritage. For those who admire Buddhism, it has a great collection value. Even for those who do not advocate Buddhism, the Buddhist culture contained in it is a unique value point.

The bronze Buddha statues handed down in China are roughly divided into two kinds, one is the Zen Buddha statue. Buddhism is a foreign religion, there is a process of sinicization in China, Zen Buddha statue, it reflects the characteristics of Buddhism in the Central Plains of China after the sinicization, is a Buddha statue with Han culture.

Zen Buddha statues, roughly from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Tang Dynasty reached a heyday, until the Ming and Qing dynasties have been made. From the point of view of the antique market, most of the circulating are Zen Buddha statues of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which are basically difficult to see fine products, most of the workmanship is relatively rough, and the preservation is not very good.

The other is the tantric Buddha statue, this kind of gold and bronze Buddha statue appeared later in China, roughly from Nepal in the Yuan Dynasty, and was particularly popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Among them, the Yongle period and the Qianlong period were the most manufactured.

Emperor Qianlong, in particular, believed in Tibetan Buddhism and even reached the point of obsession. For example, the Yuhua Pavilion in the Forbidden City was built by him after the golden temple in Tibet. Not only that, but he also built three mandalas in accordance with the practice rituals of Tibetan Buddhist Tantra, cloisonné enamel.

Tantric Buddha statues are often made with sophisticated craftsmanship, and most of them are gilded. The gorgeous atmosphere is high-grade, and the market value has been rising.

This tantric green tara statue is a gilded bronze Buddha statue.

It is about 30 centimeters tall, wearing a flower crown, with a square face, eyebrows and eyes, there is a sense of looking down, with large breasts and thin waist, long arms and beautiful hands, wearing a long skirt, and a lotus base under it.

Green Tara, which is the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva in Tibetan Buddhism, is also the most popular among the people. The reason why it is called Green Tara is because of the portrait, and the image on the portrait is green all over. Green represents the color of the Tibetan Buddhism Division.

This green Tara gilt bronze Buddha statue, the workmanship is extremely fine, especially the gold water, quite perfect, among the golden yellow, faintly revealing a light red, intoxicating.

"Hey, hey, what are you looking at?" the rickety man couldn't help but say when he saw that Sun Zhongyuan had been staring.

Sun Zhongyuan turned his head to look at him, "Aren't all the people here watching?"

"People are incense, look at them respectfully, what kind of eyes are you?"

Only then did Sun Zhongyuan understand that in this courtyard, Buddha statues were originally used to do "rituals". To put it bluntly, the rickety man is making money with this bronze Buddha statue!

"I'll put on the pillar of incense first. Sun Zhongyuan took out a hundred yuan, "Don't look for it." ”

After receiving the money and seeing that Sun Zhongyuan finished serving the incense, the rickety man's expression immediately turned a 180-degree turn, "Your face, Yintang has three Buddha lights!

Yuan Shangcao watched coldly, he has seen a lot of this kind of deceptive tricks, and besides, this rickety man is still indecent.

However, he also saw that this Buddha statue seemed to be very unusual, and it was estimated that Sun Zhongyuan was because of this.

Sun Zhongyuan handed the rickety man a cigarette, and the rickety man saw that it was a giant panda in an iron box, and his eyes lit up again, and he took it and put it directly on his ear. Sun Zhongyuan lit a cigarette, and when he saw that he didn't smoke, he smiled and handed him another one, and the rickety man lit it.

"This Buddha statue?" asked Sun Zhongyuan.

"Ancestral!" the rickety man said, "During the Republic of China, my grandfather had a Buddha fate, and a senior monk passed by our village, and the two preached the scriptures, and Gao Zeng was reluctant to give him when he parted!"

When Sun Zhongyuan heard this, what the man spit out in his mouth was not like the truth, so he no longer dwelled on the origin, and asked instead, "I don't know, how much does it cost to invite you to this Buddha statue?"

Although Sun Zhongyuan does not believe in Buddhism, it is a Buddha statue after all, and in front of this so-called "descendant of the Buddha", he still can't say that he bought it, so he has to use it.

Unexpectedly, the rickety man was stunned, "Please, do you want to go home and worship the Buddha?"

Well, he is going to "rent" as Sun Zhongyuan!

"Well, I mean, I'm going to go home and not move my nest. Sun Zhongyuan had no choice but to explain.

"Whew! You just said that you can't buy it, please what, please!" the rickety man looked casual. In fact, he just used this Buddha statue to make money, and there was no meaning of worship in his heart.

That's what it means. Sun Zhongyuan said.

The rickety man pulled Sun Zhongyuan aside and said in a low voice, "I do Dharma services once a month or two on average, and in a year, after removing the cost, I will make a net profit of twenty or thirty thousand yuan, if you want to buy it, it's not cheap." I'm going to have to count ten years, right?"

"So many?" Sun Zhongyuan looked surprised. He was surprised not that the man would pay a high price, but that it was so easy to cheat money. If you want to talk about the incense money in the temple, it is understandable, but he set up a tent in his yard, and he didn't go out purely by fooling, so many people believed him!

"So I said, if you count five hundred a day, please go home and worship for three days, and that's it!" the rickety man said.

When he said this, Sun Zhongyuan was completely relieved. The value of this Buddha statue, he didn't know at all. Also, on this gilded bronze Buddha statue, there is no money, let alone him, and ordinary collectors can't break the generation. And for the uninitiated, no matter how delicate it is, isn't it copper? That is, gilt can be worth a little money.
