Chapter 382: 'Needle Saint' Han Ximeng
Chapter 382 'Needle Saint' Han Ximeng
............Hey, you wait!" Liu Dong called out to the young man who was about to turn around and leave.
"What's the matter?"
"How did you just say this painting came about?" asked Liu Dong with excitement on his face.
His appearance surprised the young man, and he also had a depressed feeling of being treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, so he said with a slight anger in his tone: "Didn't I tell you just now? This was left behind by a tourist who came to Songzi before!"
"Yes, yes, tourists, tourism! Why didn't I think of such a simple solution?" Liu Dong muttered to himself. After a reminder from this young man, Liu Dong immediately had a way to solve the hidden dangers that the construction of the Guanjiachong Road might expose the hidden dangers of King Zhuang's Mausoleum, that is, tourism development.
During his time in Guan Jiachong, he was looking for the opportunity of Uncle Li's treasure and King Zhuang's tomb, and he understood the entire Guan Jiachong up and down very clearly.
There are not only lush mountains and dense forests that retain the original flavor here, but also the gurgling Longsalia River, the spectacular Longya Waterfall, the magnificent and changeable underground caves, and the original Guanjiachong Mountain Village, as well as the rich mountain forest game and rare rare animals and plants in the outside world, as well as a series of large and small lakes in the upper reaches of the Longshu River.
This qiē shows that Guanjiachong has all the conditions to become a natural scenic spot, as long as Liu Dong develops it.
Moreover, it must also be developed by him, and only in this way can Liu Dong decide how to build the passage that leads to Guanjiachong to the outside world and is very important for the development of scenic spots. When the time comes, he can completely let this road not go to Fenglong Mountain. Instead, it was repaired from Longshou Mountain on the other side of Longya Waterfall. And from here, the distance from Guan Jiachong is shorter. It is also possible to avoid the tomb of King Zhuang, which is buried by an unknown hill.
I thought about it over and over again. Liu Dong felt more and more that this method was feasible and once and for all. As long as the scenic spot is under his control, then he will be able to protect the tomb of King Zhuang from being discovered to the greatest extent.
The plan in his heart has been decided, and Liu Dong has also sobered up from his thoughts. And when he looked at the young man who reminded him again, and was about to thank him, he found that he was already empty.
People are gone early!
After shaking his head and extinguishing the idea of turning around to thank him, Liu Dong turned around and hailed a car. I went back to my room in the hotel.
At this time, he let go of the big stone in his heart, and Liu Dong felt a lot more relaxed. I also have the heart to look at this priceless treasure that I have dug up.
Next, Liu Dong carefully stretched out this vertical scroll, a precious hair embroidery work with a height of 180 cm and a width of 145 cm, on his bed.
Hair embroidery is one of the unique traditional craft varieties of the Han nationality in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, which originated in the Tang Dynasty in the first and first years of the Tang Dynasty, and is a work of art that uses hair silk as raw material, combined with painting and embroidery, and was originally intended to express the devotion to the Buddha. Later, in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the subject matter gradually became widespread. Hair embroidery is mostly a national collection of treasures or diplomatic gifts.
Moreover, the hair is embroidered with hair instead of thread, and the hair is black and white. The natural colors of gray, yellow and brown, as well as the characteristics of fine, soft, light and smooth, are embroidered with different stitches such as splicing, cutting, wrapping and rolling. Black lines on white ground, suitable for embroidering tracing lines (white drawings) figures, landscapes and buildings, etc., the characters generally have fewer backgrounds. To win with simplicity and purity, the embroidery stitches are fine, the color is soft, and the style is unique. Moreover, the hair is tough and smooth, and the color is durable, which is conducive to preservation. It has a very high level of craftsmanship and craftsmanship value.
However, in China, especially in ancient China, people cherish hair as life, cloud: "skin and hair, parents do not dare to damage". Therefore, the hair embroidery products that can be handed down for thousands of years are very rare.
Now the earliest is the "Oriental Shuo Statue" that is now in the collection of the Museum in London, England, which is said to have been embroidered by Liu An, the concubine of the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Gou;
And the hair embroidery in Liu Dong's hand is the work of Han Ximeng, a master of hair embroidery in the Ming Dynasty.
Speaking of this famous hair embroidery in the Ming Dynasty, everyone may not know too many people, but when it comes to Dong Qichang, a master of calligraphy and painting in the Ming Dynasty, everyone knows it.
And Han Ximeng's hair embroidery works were highly praised by everyone in the late Ming Dynasty, and almost all her hair embroidery works were praised, praising Han Ximeng as the 'needle saint'!
Han Ximeng and his Gu embroidery were also included in the Encyclopedia Britannica and became the world's most influential female embroiderers in ancient China.
From this, it can also be seen that the precious Cheng dù of Han Ximeng's embroidery boutique. And being able to unexpectedly get this authentic handiwork of Han Ximeng's 'Three Saints of the West' made Liu Dong very satisfied.
And this also drew a relatively successful end to his trip to Songzi County.
But then his fate with this place may never be severed again.
After staying in the hotel for the night, Liu Dong took a bus to Wuhan early the next morning, and then flew back to Quancheng from here.
And when he came out of Quancheng Airport after spending more than six hours, it was four o'clock in the afternoon. Liu Dong didn't notify anyone before he came back, so naturally no one came to pick him up, and because there was no signal in the mountains, he hadn't contacted the outside world for more than half a month.
Originally, I wanted to call Wang Qiang when I came back halfway, but I thought of giving her a sudden surprise, so Liu Dong suppressed the impulse in his heart.
The Land Rover, who had left the airport outside Quancheng, had already been driven away by Mu Gang, who had returned from the island city in advance. So Liu Dong had no choice but to take a taxi home by himself.
"It seems that Sister Wang hasn't eaten at home for a long time!" After taking a bath, Liu Dong opened the refrigerator and saw that there were not many vegetables in it, and thought to himself.
"I just brought back a lot of specialties from Songzi, today I will cook a few good dishes to treat Sister Wang!" Liu Dong immediately went downstairs to buy a lot of vegetables from the vegetable market, and then took out the truffle mushrooms, Du Po chicken and Songzi mandarin fish that were placed in the mustard seed space.
Then, Liu Dong plunged into the kitchen and got busy. Although he hadn't cooked for more than a month, Liu Dong hadn't cooked yet, and soon he scooped out the delicious dishes and brought them to the dining table next to the living room.
A meal lasted from half past five to half past seven in the evening, and after nearly two hours of busyness, I finally made a large table and more than a dozen dishes.
After Liu Dong washed his hands and sat on the sofa and read a book for half an hour, he finally heard the sound of the door opening.
In joy, Liu Dong hurriedly got up from the sofa, came to the door with an arrow, and opened the solid wood door inside first, "Wang ......?"
After noticing a tall woman who had opened the security door at this moment, Liu Dong couldn't help but be stunned. But compared to him, a young woman with a ponytail and a fierce air had a tense face, her brows were twisted, and then she punched Liu Dong in the chest without saying anything.
Although it happened suddenly, with Liu Dong's kung fu, he naturally wouldn't be hit by this punch.
"Who are you?" After receiving two punches in a row, Liu Dong hurriedly took a step back and asked with a frown.
And the fierce woman who was also shocked by his strong strength and made her arm numb, after hearing this, looked Liu Dong up and down, and asked tentatively, "You are Mr. Liu Dong?"
"Yes, I'm Liu Dong, who are you, why did you come to my house?" asked Liu Dong.
But before the sturdy woman could answer, Wang Qiang's figure appeared in the corridor, "Liu Hong, what are you doing standing at the door, why don't you go in?"
"Xiaodong?" When he saw Liu Dong standing inside the door, Wang Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on his face became infinitely surprised.
"You're back?"
"Yes, I'm done with my business, so I'm naturally coming back!" Liu Dong looked at Wang Qiang with a gentle smile on his face and said.
"You guy, where have you been for more than 20 days, I can't get through to your mobile phone, and I don't know how worried I am about you!" As she spoke, Wang Qiang had red eyes, stepped forward and took a few steps, and threw herself into Liu Dong's arms.
I don't know if the relationship between the two has really reached the point where it is difficult to give up, or if it is really the reason for the beauty of distance, anyway, in the more than 20 days that Liu Dong lost the news, Wang Qiang was simply living like a year, and she was immersed in lovesickness almost every moment.
At this moment, after seeing Liu Dong, he could no longer suppress the outburst of feelings in his heart, leaned tightly on Liu Dong's arms, and sobbed quietly, this warm embrace has become the place where Wang Qiang, who has lost his family, relies on the most.
And Liu Dong also felt Wang Qiang's love for him, so at this moment, he was also hugging the delicate body in his arms tightly, and the tenderness in his heart was infinite.
And the fierce woman called Liu Hong, and another equally fierce female bodyguard who followed Wang Qiang upstairs later, stood silently to the side and did not speak, tacitly leaking out a warm space for the two.
"By the way, Xiaodong, I'll introduce you!" After a long time, after expressing the suppressed lovesickness in his heart, and after the love was also stable a little, Wang Qiang, who was lying in Liu Dong's arms, finally remembered the two bodyguards who followed him.
"This is Liu Hong!" Wang Qiang wiped the tears on her face, and then blushed, pointing to the ponytail young woman who was doing it with Liu Dong just now.
"Hello!" Liu Dong took the initiative to stretch out his right hand.
After Liu Hong hesitated, she shook Liu Dong, "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, I didn't recognize you just now!"
"It doesn't matter, don't you sin if you don't know!"
Listening to Liu Dong's words, Wang Qiang couldn't help but be surprised: "What happened to you just now?"
"It's okay! This Miss Liu just took me for a thief!"
Looking at the smile on Liu Dong's face, Wang Qiang also understood what was going on. After chuckling a few times, he pointed to another female bodyguard who walked up behind him and said, "This is Wang Fang!" (to be continued......)
