Chapter 713: Shi Zhongshan, Bell Caster
PS: I've changed the map, it's a little bit of a small card, two more today, everyone is more considerate, continue to ask for a monthly pass, please support more.
Buddhist temples must have bells, which is also common sense.
Buddha bells are used to pray for longevity, enlightenment, and transcendence of sentient beings. The sound of the bell is deep, loud and long, so that it can shock people's hearts. Moreover, when you hear the melodious bell in the ancient temple, it will naturally give people a feeling of long, ethereal and pure.
The most famous Buddha bell is naturally the Yongle bell of the Great Bell Temple in Beijing, which is known as the five uniques and is famous at home and abroad. Even the Great Bell Temple itself is famous overseas and has become one of the world's famous temples.
It can also be seen from this that a good Buddha bell is important for the temple.
It is estimated that the big boss also thought so, so after the temple was built, he was not in a hurry to buy a bell to be placed on the bell and drum tower, perhaps looking for a good bell. However, it is a pity that because the capital chain is broken, it is difficult to protect itself, and this matter is naturally delayed, until Wang Guan took over the project and handed over the temple to the monk in the middle of the mountain, only to find that there is no Buddha bell in the bell and drum tower.
If it is a small bell, the monk of Mid-Levels has brought a mouthful, and it has a history of several decades, but the volume is not large, only more than 30 centimeters high. If it is used in a small temple in Singapore, it is appropriate.
But the big boss has the courage to build the bell and drum tower very large, and the upper and lower floors rise from the ground, inflating the majestic atmosphere. Such a bell and drum tower, if you hang a small bell up, not only does it not match, it is estimated that it will become a laughing stock for everyone.
"It seems that I have to contact the manufacturer to customize one." Pi Qiushi smiled: "I'll take care of this matter." ”
There are no ready-made products for ancient clocks, and they are generally cast when there is a demand, otherwise they don't know who to sell them to. In addition, for Pi Qiushi's self-volunteering, the monk in the middle of the mountain naturally expressed his gratitude.
However, Pi Qiushi in turn wanted to thank the monk in the middle of the mountain for giving him this opportunity, and he bluntly said that he would definitely bring private goods and make a tribute when the bell was cast. So. As long as the ancient bell hangs in the temple bell tower, his name can be passed down for as long as it is said, and it is still his advantage.
"Brother Pi is really calculating." Wang Guan smiled and said, "I knew that I should have robbed you of this errand." ”
"You're already destined to go down in history, what's the point of arguing with me about this." Pi Qiushi waved his hand and shouted: "I have already made up my mind, whoever robs me, I will be in a hurry with whomever I want." ”
Pi Qiu has the intention to contribute to the temple, and after everyone smiled, he was left to him.
However, people are not as good as heaven, and wait until they return to the mansion gate. After hearing about the Buddha bell, Qian Lao muttered: "Casting the Buddha bell also needs to be cautious, not only in terms of shape and quality, but also about its sound quality. Speaking of which, I also know a bell casting master, who has devoted himself to the study of ancient clocks for more than 30 years, and has used ancient methods to restore the casting process of Yongle bells, and finally imitated an ancient bell that is very similar to Yongle bells......"
Hearing this, Pi Qiushi was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Old Qian." Where is that master? ”
Since you want to cast a bell, you must find the best master to help cast it. I don't dare to say that the ancient bell will be immortal for thousands of years, but it is natural that it will not be damaged for 500 years.
To be honest, although it is an automatic request. But he also had some doubts in his heart about whether the clock-casting technology of modern factories would work. I'm afraid that the ancient bell will crack after a few years of impact, and then he will have no face to see.
Originally, Pi Qiushi was still thinking about going back to find someone to inquire which factory had better bell casting technology, but now he heard Qian Lao say this. It's like someone brought a pillow when I'm sleepy, and it's right in the middle of it.
However, the answer given by Qian Lao. But it was quite a surprise to everyone.
"This man lives far away."
At this time, Qian Lao smiled and said, "But where to live, Wang Guan should know." ”
"I know?" Wang Guan was stunned and said, "But I don't know any bell masters." ”
"You don't know him, so you should know where Shi Zhongshan is, right?" Qian Lao prompted: "He is now living in seclusion near Shizhong Mountain, and when I was in the porcelain capital, I still went to live there for a few days from time to time. ”
"Ahh
Wang Guan reacted: "Shizhong Mountain, Hukou, Jiangzhou? ”
"In addition to this Shizhong Mountain, are there any other Shizhong Mountains?" Qian Lao said with a smile: "Su Dongpo's Shizhongshan Chronicle made Shizhongshan famous, and you are from Jiangzhou, haven't you heard of it?" ”
"I've heard about it, I've heard about it." At this time, Wang Guan was a little embarrassed: "But the county seat where my home is located is far away from Hukou, and there is no suitable time, so I have never been there." ”
This thing is also normal, not to mention different counties in the same city, or different towns in the same county, no matter what places of interest and historical sites in that town, some people don't bother to go over and take a look.
The reason is that one is that I can't feel the atmosphere when I am in it; The second is that he is inert and does not want to make this trip. As for Wang Guan, it is a combination of two factors, even if he has lived in Jiangzhou for more than 20 years, he has never been to see Shizhong Mountain.
In this regard, Qian Lao shook his head directly, and had nothing to say.
Wang Guan smiled embarrassedly, and then made up for it: "Since it's in Jiangzhou, then let me go, it just so happens that I also want to go home to see the situation and sort out some things by the way." ”
The main thing is that some treasures that have been obtained recently are not always good to carry with you, so they naturally have to be placed in the treasure house.
Seeing this situation, Pi Qiu sighed helplessly, feeling that this was the will of heaven, so he had to hand over the errand to Wang Guan to deal with.
Without further ado, two days later, after arranging the affairs of the capital, Wang Guan immediately set off to return to the porcelain capital, planning to meet his parents first, and then take the time to go to Shizhong Mountain.
After two or three hours of flight, the plane landed in Porcelain. There was no need for anyone to greet him, so Wang Guan stopped the car and returned to the villa. I haven't been back for a while, and the situation at the villa has changed a bit. Under the care of the parents, the flowers and trees in the front yard and behind the courtyard are more and more lush, which looks more quiet and elegant.
Seeing Wang Guan come back, his parents were naturally very happy, but at the same time, they wondered why they didn't see Baye. However, when they heard that she was now working in the capital, their parents were relieved and nodded their heads again and again to say yes. Perhaps in the minds of the elders, no matter how rich the child is, he can't lose his job, because work is the foundation of settling down and starting a business.
After staying at home for a long time, Wang Guan couldn't sit still, said hello to his parents, and went to visit Gao Dequan. Inevitably, there was another burst of reminiscence, chatting about their respective things.
"Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." Gao Dequan talked about the matter of Mao porcelain, and said with a smile: "In two months, the kiln will be opened in autumn." After a busy year, I can finally get rid of it. ”
"No matter how busy it is, it's worth it, and it will definitely make a national sensation when the time comes." Wang Guan was happy, but also a little regretful: "But due to the limitation of raw materials, only one kiln can be fired, which is a pity." ”
"You're not greedy enough." Gao Dequan said with a smile: "There are at least thousands of pieces of porcelain in a kiln, and I am not satisfied." ”
"It's hard to fill the craving, how can it be so easy to satisfy."
Wang Guan sighed, and then smiled: "But it's almost the same, collecting a complete set of porcelain porcelain, it is estimated that few people can do it." Well, even if it is an imitation, after thirty or fifty years, the value will be comparable to the real thing. ”
"Once it's done, it's okay to sell it as genuine." Gao Dequan smiled, his expression full of confidence.
Innovation is certainly not easy, but standing on the shoulders of giants to imitate, for an antique porcelain master, to fake and straightforward is the basic requirement. If you can't make an imitation exactly like the real thing, that's a huge failure.
Wang Guan must believe in Gao Dequan's ability, even if he doesn't sell imitations as genuine, he also hopes that imitations can be as perfect as the real thing. This is human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"What about you, what have you learned lately?"
At the same time, Gao Dequan smiled and said: "I heard Feibai say, when I just left Shanghai, you found the pirate treasure, and you knew that I would just stay for a few more days......"
In the chat, it was getting late, and at the invitation of Wang Guan, Gao Dequan naturally came to the villa happily, had a very lively dinner, and watched the treasures brought back by Wang Guan, and then he still did not leave.
There is no need to repeat the situation at home, anyway, Wang Guan rarely came back, so he stayed at home for a few more days before leaving for Jiangzhou Hukou.
Hukou is located at the junction of three provinces, named after the only intersection of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake, known as the key to the rivers and lakes, and the thoroughfare of the three provinces. There are also many famous scenic spots in the county, after all, it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and naturally attracted the poetry of the literati of the past dynasties, remembering the victory and expressing the nostalgia, leaving many hymns.
However, among the many scenic spots, Shizhong Mountain is like a standout, covering all the scenery of other scenic spots, which to a certain extent also shows how amazing the influence of Su Dongpo, the great writer of the Northern Song Dynasty, is.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi said that covering articles is the great cause of the country and an immortal event. Whatever the original meaning of this sentence is, it is enough to illustrate the importance of a good essay anyway.
Not only Shizhong Mountain, but also many other places in China, perhaps because of an article, a poem, and an allusion of the ancients, and then passed down through the ages for future generations to remember.
This is what we often call the background, and it is also the source of everyone's pride.
At this time, Wang Guan came to Shizhong Mountain, only to see that the mountain is at the boundary between the river and the lake, one side of it is Poyang Lake, and the other side is the Yangtze River. The water of Poyang Lake is deep and has a turquoise glow, while the water of the Yangtze River is shallow and slightly yellowish. However, the mountain itself is a verdant color, sandwiched between this green and yellow, forming a momentum of various colors and displays, each leading the way.
The scenery is unique, and it is no wonder that it has been recited by the world for thousands of years.
When enjoying the beautiful scenery, Wang Guan did not forget the business, according to Qian Lao's guidance, and after asking people again, he slowly came to a very ordinary house.
Wang Guan immediately went up and knocked on the door, and after a while, a young man walked out, glanced at Wang Guan, and found that he didn't know him, so he immediately frowned slightly and said, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Is Master Liu at home?" Wang Guan asked, if you have a request for someone, you must be very polite.
"Looking for my grandfather?"
The young man frowned, and then said casually: "He's not here, he has something to go out." (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
