Because the research team has made new discoveries.
In a statue of the Buddha, there is a golden body!
After the death of a great monk in ancient times, there will be two mysterious things.
One is the Buddha's relics, and the other is the Buddha's golden body.
In fact, the principle is not too complicated, the ancient monks were very rich, but they could not eat meat, so they would eat a lot of high-end vegetarian dishes, including a lot of fruits and vegetables.
When a person supplements with too much vitamin C, it is easy to produce oxalate kidney stones.
If a person eats too much alkaline fiber dried fruits, gallstones can form.
The most likely thing is that the relics are produced by the burning of stones, and as for those flesh bones that can be burned into relics, it is really mysterious and cannot be explained.
As for the golden body, it is more difficult than the birth of the Buddha's relics.
A high monk needs to practice penance all the time before his body, which will lead to the rigidity of the body, and when he dies, he will not sit down cross-legged, and the water will be evaporated to form a golden body.
In other words, the predecessors of the golden body were all ascetics unimaginable to ordinary people, and a lifetime of self-denial would lead to such results.
In modern times, once there is a similar golden body of a monk, it will be cast and preserved, and in ancient times, in order to preserve the golden body, the golden body will be sealed into the clay sculpture.
Many believers worship the Buddha all their lives, thinking that they worship the mud bodhisattva, but they do not know that they worship the true Buddha.
Not long ago, the Jinling underground palace was unearthed, and the Buddha's relics were preserved in the pagoda, which was already a major event that shook the Buddhist world.
This time, the sudden appearance of the Buddha's golden body also attracted the attention of many archaeologists and Buddhists.
In particular, there are many Buddhist temples in this place.
Zhaojue Temple, Wenshu Monastery, Dragon King Temple, Niuwang Temple, and Emei, a Buddhist holy mountain, are in.
Of course, archaeologists want to remove the clay sculptures and survey the golden body, and the great masters of Buddhism absolutely want to prevent this from happening.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river and protect himself.
The golden body is different, every golden body is a true Buddha in the eyes of Buddhism.
For this, Yang Xiu was also very helpless.
The carbon 14 detection may not be of much use to other artifacts, but for the golden body, it is no problem to directly determine the year of death.
The time was determined, 536 years.
After getting this test report, Yang Xiu and Song He didn't dare to announce the result at all.
If you know a little bit about Buddhism, you will know what this vintage means.
After listening to their explanations, Fang Hong gasped in place and almost didn't take a breath.
It's scary.
It's this one!
Or, even if it wasn't this one, but he died in 536, then it was not him, it must be him!
When Fang Hong returned to the museum, Yang Xiu, Song He, and Fang Hong held a meeting in the research room.
At present, the information has not been made public, and only three people know about it.
Song He's tone was the firmest: "I don't think it can be announced, absolutely not announced." ā
"Can you stop it if you don't announce it?" Yang Xiu pointed to the door: "The host of Zhaojue Temple, leaving to stop?" ā
Fang Hong could see it: "If it is really announced, Zhaojue Temple will not be able to take it." ā
"What about the country?"
Not just the country, but India?
With Indian urine, they won't ask for it?
Fang Hong immediately made a decision: "Secretary Zhao Wen, first replace the cultural relics certificate of the clay Buddha statue with the certificate of the golden body of the monk, make sure that this golden body remains with us, and then announce it!" ā
Song He patted his forehead: "Yes, leave him first!" And then it will be announced! ā
Fang Hong smiled: "With him, plus Shizhongjian, in a few years, we will be one of the largest cultural relics research institutions in the country, and you don't want to give it up, right?" ā
Antiquarians are divided into two kinds, one is rich and the other is particularly rich.
They don't value money too much and more prestige.
The three of them got together and decided on the spot.
This time, it wasn't just Yang Xiu who found Secretary Wen, Fang Hong took out his phone book for the first time and dialed a number.
Last time, the provincial leader who came to visit said that he could contact him directly about the museum.
The person who answered the phone was a ZF secretary, he was still a little puzzled after receiving the call, Fang Hong recounted the matter, the secretary said: "This matter should be reliable, his old man has devoted his life to the protection of cultural relics, and if he can stay on the CD, he will definitely not let him go out." ā
But this one is in a meeting.
It wasn't until six o'clock in the afternoon that Fang Hong received a call from his secretary.
This person speaks in person, and he must make the order smooth, and absolutely no one dares to obstruct or block it.
Secretary Wen began to handle things, and with this one speaking, he quickly got into the process.
After waiting for two days, Fang Hong stayed in the office left by the museum, and finally waited for the documents.
The formal approval document was issued, and the clay Buddha statue certificate was replaced with a gold body certificate, which was entered into the SC Provincial Cultural Relics List and the List of Individual Cultural Relics Protection.
Fang Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After getting the documents, Fang Hong immediately customized a new glass display case and put the Buddha statue in it.
This is the only Buddha statue that can be protected with a glass display case.
After the incident, the museum's official Weibo account announced the test results.
Mogao Grottoes clay Buddha statue, 1924 into the Interland, 2010 welcome back to China, now in the museum with me, February 21, 2011 found that the Buddha statue has the ancient monk gold body, February 23 research report concluded that the gold body clay sculpture sealed in 536 AD.
As soon as this news came out, the onlookers only found it interesting, but they didn't know what it meant.
However, half a day later, the news spread, and the entire Buddhist community was in an uproar!
In 536, the senior monk of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the twenty-eighth ancestor of Buddhism, the patriarch of the Chinese Tantric Sect, Bodhidharma passed away!
In 528 A.D., Bodhidharma was poisoned by jealous people and faked his death, and came back to life a year later.
In 532 A.D., Bodhidharma preached the Yijin Sutra and said that the Chinese preaching, now the world is awake, has been accomplished, and the fake death has disappeared.
In 536 AD, in the second year of Emperor Wu of Liang, Bodhidharma passed away and was buried in Dinglin Temple.
Forty years later, the believers opened the museum, leaving a shoe empty in the tomb.
In the great religion of the world, there is always a legend of resurrection from the dead.
Christ, Lao Tzu, Bodhidharma.
The great sages and powers of the Buddhist family quickly determined that this was the golden body of Bodhidharma!
It is inferred that Bodhidharma has preached the Dharma in various temples, and after his death, he should have wanted to return to China, so the believers pretended to convey the story of Modharma's resurrection, but in fact, they secretly made a clay sculpture of the golden body of Chen Cang to save Bodhidharma's body and send him back to China.
In the end, for some reason, the clay sculpture remained in the Mogao Grottoes.
During the time of Emperor Wu of Liang, Buddhism was at its peak, and there were countless clay sculptures in Mogao Grottoes.
As a result, the golden body of Bodhidharma was mixed with the mud bodhisattvas and preserved.
Finally, I came to the Museum of Walking with Me.
On that day alone, there were 11 cultural relics units, 17 temples related to Bodhidharma, and more than 30 museums with reporters' telegrams.
Fang Hong saw people talking about people and talking nonsense, told the cultural relics unit that it would not be transferred, told the temple that it was ready to be sent back to India, and told reporters that you are all nonsense and fake news.
Of course, the cultural relics unit had no choice, and they didn't contact much, but just asked to study together.
The rulers of the seventeen monasteries couldn't stop Fang Hong one by one.
Journalists, of course, are using their brains to make up the news.
In one day, the news of the birth of Bodhidharma spread all over the country, and there were not many reports on the Internet, and there were more reports from the print media and TV stations.
Fang Hong could expect that there would be a lot of people coming to the museum to talk about it, so he took the newly opened bullet train and went to CQ.
Tang Yixin's first words when she saw Fang Hong were: "How capable are you, how many days have you been back to China?" Forgot me? ā
Fang Hong's head was big: "How can you forget, what are you kidding, I'll give it to you...... Well, the surprise went to make it. ā
"Huh?"
"You can't say it, you can't say it, and if you say it, you'll not be surprised." Fang Hong wiped off the sweat after Tang Yixin turned around, thinking about it, dry, this time the water drop pearls collected in Beihai can't be saved.
