Chapter 54 The Three Sages of Confucianism and the Seventy-two Sages

PS: Beichen asks everyone for a collection, ask for a recommendation, thank you in advance, and I wish everyone all the best in all your wishes, all the best, Wishing you prosperity!

A breeze slowly blew in the air, with a hint of coldness, a little cold. The red sun hung high in the west, like a giant roulette wheel, with a red glow.

Hundreds of birds who go out have returned to their nests, taking care of their children, and feeding the continuation of life with the harvest of the day.

The leaves swayed gently in the wind, as if beckoning to people in the distance, standing on the top of a high mountain, looking at the pedestrians on their way home.

And at this time, in the Sanqing Shrine, two people were constantly surrounding a huge copper furnace, observing carefully!

In addition to the patterns engraved around the copper furnace, its inner wall is even more connotative, engraved with a variety of exquisite patterns, convex and uneven!

"Seems like there's something missing?" Liang Qianzhi frowned, dragging his chin and thinking, at this time, the two of them didn't know about this heavy weapon, they only thought it was a super-large high-quality copper furnace.

Liang Qianzhi is not omnipotent, his level is very limited.

"It's true that something is missing, I also know this", Chu Yunqiu nodded.

"Really", Liang Qianzhi's eyes lit up.

"Well, the carved lid on the copper furnace has been taken down, oh, isn't that", Chu Yunqiu looked at a large hollow round cover on the corner, but the current big round cover was covered with dust.

"You ······" Looking at the stains on it, Liang Qianzhi pointed at Chu Yunqiu, "It's really a loser", Liang Qianzhi hates iron and steel, why aren't these things in his hands, they are tyrannical!

"Look at you sad, isn't it convenient to remove the round lid and burn incense?" Chu Yunqiu pursed his lips.

"You know what? Such a large kiwi peach inscription engraved fine copper furnace, absolutely unique, not to mention the exquisite patterns and superb skills above, this body shape is also unprecedented, and I am not mistaken, the casting process is very in line with the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty, it is definitely a heavy treasure", although Liang Qianzhi does not know the zodiac copper furnace, but such a large utensil, absolutely not ordinary.

"Yes", Chu Yunqiu nodded, walked to the side of the round cover, and wiped the dust on it with wet wipes!

The pattern on it suddenly appeared on the round lid!

A dragon and a phoenix, intertwined, is the pattern of "dragon and phoenix are auspicious".

The dragon represents Xuanzong Li Longji, and the wind represents the noble concubine Yang Yuhuan, indicating a pair of "made in heaven".

The body of the dragon and phoenix is engraved with various fine lines and gold wires, densely packed, forming one gap after another.

If there are people who are densely afraid to take a look, there will be a feeling of numbness in the scalp, it is simply too precise, too complicated, dragon scales, dragon horns, phoenix feathers, phoenix claws, etc., are not just carved up, but as if embroidered with gold wire, the craftsmanship is very exquisite.

With this craftsmanship, I don't know how many times more complicated than the current craftsmanship, Chu Yunqiu can't imagine it.

This is after a number of masters and even grandmaster-level masters, it took three years to build, during which I don't know how many failures, how many times it was repeated before it was formed, it is a well-deserved Chinese treasure!

Looking at the precise pattern on it, Chu Yunqiu and Liang Qianzhi glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's shock in their eyes!

"Wait, wait, let me take it easy", Liang Qianzhi leaned against the wall and did it, looked at the dragon and phoenix round lid next to him, and then looked at the kiwi peach big copper furnace next to him, even a fool knows that this is a heavy weapon!

Of course, it's not that the people in Chujiazhai are stupid, but they didn't even know what "antique" was at that time, let alone the value of this thing, for them, this is used to burn incense.

Don't say it's this copper stove, if you put a piece of firewood over the kiln, they will dare to drop it for you.

"Don't move this thing yet, or we'll go to the next place to have a look", Chu Yunqiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Okay", Liang Qianzhi nodded, he also felt that it was better not to move this thing first, looking at the exquisite Cheng Dù, it was obviously not something that two people could do.

There is only one temple on the third floor, which is Confucian's - Haoran Palace, there is nothing else in the courtyard except the stone tablet, although none of these stone tablets are from the hands of famous artists, but the calligraphy is powerful, in one go, especially the first stone tablet in the courtyard, the word "Haoran" is written on it, the atmosphere is magnificent, dignified and upright, it is full of righteous and awe-inspiring atmosphere, stroke by stroke, like a proud scholar, do not bow to the powerful.

In addition to the Haoran stele, other steles also stand tall, the handwriting on them is handsome and elegant, chic and natural, all say that the words are like their people, Chu Yunqiu believes that the person who writes the stele is not far from it even if it is bad!

When Chu Yunqiu and Liang Qianzhi walked in, they happened to find Gong Feng who was constantly taking pictures.

Gong Feng, a fat man, kept shuttling through the stele forest, followed by Ayako and Miko sisters, and kept taking pictures of him!

The look of that sè makes people have the urge to kick it, it's too bad!

"Oh, I said, what are you two doing? Grinding, I'll finish filming right away, look, handsome or not", Gong Feng took off his sunglasses and posed to Chu Yunqiu and Liang Qianzhixian with his mobile phone.

"Get out of the calf, I'm too lazy to take care of you", Liang Qianzhi couldn't help but glance at Gong Feng, his heart was wide and fat, carefree, sometimes he was really envious of Gong Feng, his intestines were straight, and he couldn't suppress his heart!

"Haha, jealousy, you are definitely jealous, wait for Brother Feng to post this handsome photo to the circle of friends, you just wait for others to praise me", Gong Feng put away his phone very proudly.

Chu Yunqiu and Liang Qianzhi directly entered the "Haoran Palace" and looked at the three tall statues above, the first supreme saint - Confucius, the second sub-saint - Mencius, and the third post-saint - Xunzi.

Confucius bowed his hands, with long sleeves hanging to the ground, clothes like the wind, and a scarf on his head, which represents the word "etiquette", benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, the five virtues of a gentleman, and etiquette is one of them. Yasheng Mencius holds the "jade ruler" in his hand, a righteous face, it seems very majestic, it seems that the villain does not dare to commit, the ghost and the god do not come, this represents a "positive" word, I am good at raising my heroic spirit, holding the ruler like a god, educating the world. Hou Sheng Xunzi held a scroll of Jinglun in his left hand, stroked his beard with his right hand, his eyes were full of wisdom and divine light, and he seemed to be thinking about something, which represents a "learning" word, the gentleman's learning is also, into the ear, on the heart, on the four bodies, and on the form of movement. At the end of the day, one can be the law.

The three sages of Confucianism, Confucius's "rites", making ritual music, setting the spring and autumn period, flourishing in poetry, standing in ceremony, becoming musical, self-denial and retribution for benevolence, one day of self-denial and retribution, then the world returns to benevolence, "rite" is the foundation of human beings.

Mencius's "righteousness", I am good at nurturing my heroic qi, the greatest to the strongest, with direct maintenance and harmless, then stuffed between heaven and earth, life has righteousness, open in heaven and earth, heaven and earth have righteousness, mixed manifolds. The lower is the river, the upper is the sun and the star, righteousness protects one's body, and all evils dare not invade!

Xunzi's "learning" is the learning of "persuasion", and the gentleman said: Learning is not a last resort. Green, taken from blue, and green from blue; Ice, water for it, and cold in water, thinking all day long, is not as good as what you have to learn! The world is full of books, learning without tirelessness, thinking and prudence, knowing astronomy, knowing geography, and pedantic!

In addition to the three saints, the seventy-two Magi under each lupine scarf, or read books and splash ink, or play chess and play the piano, or blow the flute to learn music······

Stone statues are scattered throughout the room, and the shapes are different and extremely realistic.

Chu Yunqiu and Liang Qianzhi were constantly patrolling the Haoran Palace, and the two of them felt that there would definitely be a big discovery, but unfortunately, the two of them found nothing, and there was nothing here.

Liang Qianzhi was a little unwilling and searched again, but still found nothing.

Chu Yunqiu saluted the incense and walked to Liang Qianzhi's side, "Brother Liang, forget it if you don't have it, I'm lucky to get it, I lost my life, besides, we have already got several things, it's time to be content", Chu Yunqiu smiled lightly.

"Hey, you're really open-minded, okay, let's go", Liang Qianzhi sighed and went out with Chu Yunqiu.
