Chapter 488: The Flowing Water

Chapter 488 Qu Shui Liuzhen

This is a red wooden wine glass, this kind of shape is no longer in modern times, and Li Yang felt very surprised to see such a wine glass here.

As soon as Li Yang walked in, Liu Gang and He Jie followed them into the store, and as soon as seven or eight people came in, the small shop immediately seemed a little crowded.

Several people were dressed and talked very well, and Boss Han hurriedly followed, squeezed inside and whispered hello.

"Boss, how much does this thing cost you?"

Li Yang raised his hand and pointed to the wooden wine glass in the shelf and asked, the shopkeeper looked at what Li Yang was pointing at, and was slightly stunned.

"This thing was also asked by my friend to help sell it on my behalf, three hundred yuan."

Stunned, Boss Han still quickly said the price, this thing is sold by his friend, and a quarter of the goods in his store are sold on behalf of him, which can save his money operation, which is also a feature of many shops on this street.

Tibet is vast and sparsely populated, and transportation is a big problem, so some small commodity sellers from other places cannot operate in Lhasa for a long time, so they entrust friends to sell things for themselves, which has been a practice for a long time.

"Three hundred, okay, I want it"

Li Yang just lowered his head and thought for a while before agreeing, took out three hundred yuan from his body, and handed it directly to Boss Han.

This thing is a real old thing, and it is definitely a leak to buy it for 300 yuan.

"Okay, I'll find you something to put on"

The shopkeeper grinned, the little lion was not from the right background, and the other party was a knowledgeable person, so he didn't dare to ask for more money. However, he made a lot of money on this thing, and it was true that he sold it on behalf of him, but as long as he gave the original owner a hundred yuan, selling this thing was equivalent to making twice as much money as he made, and he made a net profit of two hundred.

Two hundred yuan is nothing in the interior, but Tibet's current development is not so fast, and the average daily net profit of his shop is more than 200 yuan.

"No thanks"

Li Yang didn't care so much, after paying the money, the thing was his, and he picked up the wooden wine glass and admired it carefully.

Ma Shiwei stood behind Li Yang, looking at the pair of wooden bowls with a contemplative look on his face, archaeology and collection are different, but there is always a certain relationship, he can't see the age of this thing, but he can still see something from some of the features above.

After buying something, there was no need to stay here, and a few people continued to walk out and wander around this ethnic street.

"Li Yang, you honestly, what are you buying this for, is this another treasure?"

After walking a few steps, He Jie grabbed Li Yang and asked anxiously, He Jie is also a very curious person, especially the things Li Yang bought, he always felt that it would be a very good thing.

Li Yang stopped, Tang Xiaoxiao and Shi Qin all looked at Li Yang curiously, only Liu Gang always looked with a faint smile.

"There's a café in front, why don't we go inside and rest?"

Li Yang didn't answer He Jie's question, but pointed to the front, there was an intersection in front, and there was a good coffee house on the side of the other road.

"Okay, I'm talking inside"

He Jie nodded immediately, and there was no place to talk and chat on the street.

There were not many people in the coffee shop, and a few people found two tables and sat down, Li Yang, He Jie and Ma Shiwei were together, Liu Gang, Gao Feng and Zhao Yong sat at another table and stared.

This is also a small coffee shop, and the largest table can only seat six people, so they have to be seated separately.

After sitting down, Li Yang put the wooden wine glass he had just bought in the middle of the table, Ma Shiwei looked down, something flashed in his eyes from time to time, Shi Qin and Tang Xiaoxiao also looked at the wooden wine glass that looked very old curiously.

"Li Yang, can you tell me what kind of treasure this bowl is now?"

After He Jie glanced at it a few times, he turned his head to look at Li Yang, Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head vigorously: "This is not a bowl, this is a wine glass shape in ancient times, and this kind of wine glass also has a nice name, called Yuyu"

"Wine glass?"

He Jie's eyes immediately widened a lot, and he crawled there to take a closer look, the wine glass in front of him was very large, oval, not smaller than the current bowl in terms of area alone, this shape was recognized as a bowl, strictly speaking, it looked more like a bowl, rather than a wine glass.

"Yes, the feather cup is also called the ear cup, it is a very popular wine vessel from the Warring States period to the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the popularity period of this wine cup is very long, and it has a deep impact on the development of ancient culture."

Li Yang smiled, picked up the wine glass with his hand, and then said: "Especially the ancient literati, they raised the wine glass not called a toast, but called a lift, Li Bai has a famous farewell poem, which has a sentence 'Jinling children come to send each other, if you want to do it or not', here is the wine glass, which means that whether it is the person who wants to leave, or the person who does not leave, the wine in the wine glass is drunk."

"I know this poem, it's Li Bai's "Farewell to Jinling Wine Shop""

Tang Xiaoxiao whispered, and stopped talking after speaking, in fact, many people have heard of this poem and know the meaning in it, but he didn't think about it this time, and Li Yang only noticed it when he mentioned it.

"In fact, this kind of wine glass has a more famous story, this story is almost unknown to everyone in our industry, I believe that people who have studied our ancient culture have heard this story."

Li Yang raised his head and smiled, and looked at Ma Shiwei when he spoke, Shi Qin and Tang Xiaoxiao laughed at the three of them, they are all real doctors, Tang Xiaoxiao doesn't know if he has heard of this story, Ma Shiwei and Shi Qin must know.

"I've heard that Qu Shui Liuyu is talking about the Lanting Cocktail Party"

Ma Shiwei nodded first, as an archaeologist, he knows a lot about many historical things in ancient China, and it is impossible for him not to know this well-known interesting thing through the ages.

Shi Qin didn't speak, but from his expression, it could be seen that he was no stranger to this story.

"Li Yang, you just say it in detail, don't sell it"

He Jie frowned slightly, Tang Xiaoxiao also looked at Li Yang curiously, Tang Xiaoxiao's IQ is high, but she doesn't like literature, and she really hasn't heard of this story.

Li Yang nodded with a smile, and said softly: "The Lanting Cocktail Party tells the story of an ancient custom, every year on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, everyone has to gather at the water's edge to hold a ceremony, called 'Xiu', this custom is not much now, but in ancient times, it was a very famous festival that the whole people participated in."

Shi Qin couldn't help but nodded, he studied ethnology and knew a lot about the cultivation festival, which was an ancient custom that appeared in the Yin and Zhou dynasties, and it is still continued in some parts of the country.

On the third day of the third month of the ninth year of Yonghe, the sage Wang Xizhi and many celebrities at that time participated in the cultivation in this place of Lanting. Everyone sat at the water's edge, put the feathers in the water, and let them drift along the crooked waterway, and whoever stopped in the flow would make a poem, and if they couldn't make it, they would be punished with a glass of wine."

"This is much more elegant than our current drinking"

Ma Shiwei took it with a smile, and several people showed smiles on their faces, and now on the wine table, they are all persuading to drink, constantly saying things like 'dry, dry' and 'deep feelings', which is so elegant as drinking and writing poetry like in ancient times.

"Is there anyone who can't do it?"

Tang Xiaoxiao asked again, her face was still curious, and now she was also attracted by Li Yang's story.

Li Yang glanced at her, smiled, and continued: "Of course, Wang Xianzhi didn't make it at that time, Wang Xianzhi is the son of Wang Xizhi, and he is also a calligrapher, and his father is called the second king, and he is known as the little sage of calligraphy."

"In the Qing Dynasty, someone wrote a limerick poem to ridicule Wang Xianzhi because of this incident, and it was written, 'But laughing at the order of King Wuyi, there was no poem at the Lanting Meeting"

This time it was Shi Qin who answered, a small wine glass, which brought everyone's interest up, Li Yang looked at him with a smile and nodded silently.

"Wang Xianzhi did not make a poem at that time, which was indeed an ugly one, but Wang Xizhi followed the interest of the Lanting Cocktail Party to write the masterpiece of "Lanting Preface" that has been passed down through the ages, but it is a pity that "Lanting Preface" has now been lost, and all that has survived are copies of various dynasties and generations."

After Li Yang finished speaking, he took a sip of the coffee in front of him, picked up the snack he ordered on the table and took a bite.

"I see, I didn't expect Lan Tingxu to come like this, Li Yang, the liuzhen you bought is not the wine glass used on Lan Tingxu."

Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Li Yang and asked again, He Jie also turned his head and looked at Li Yang expectantly, if it was really a wine glass used at the Lanting Cocktail Party, this cup would be worth a lot of money. The cultural relics from so long ago are related to the famous painting saint and the famous Lanting Wine Party, and the value can't be low.

Shi Qin also turned his head to look at Li Yang, he had such curiosity like He Jie and Tang Xiaoxiao.

Only the smile on Ma Shiwei's face was a little strange, and he wanted to see how Li Yang answered this question.

If this thing is bought by someone else, He Jie won't care about this problem at all, who knows if the wine glass at the Lanting cocktail party is still there? Even if there is such good luck in your hands, but it is different in Li Yang, and it is not surprising that anything incredible happens in Li Yang.

Li Yang's luck is really good, He Jie has seen it many times with his own eyes, and he has long been convinced.

"Is this cup used at the Lanting cocktail party, I think Professor Ma should be able to see one or two, why don't you let Professor Ma talk about it first?"

Li Yang glanced back at Ma Shiwei, the strange smile on Ma Shiwei's face Li Yang noticed it just now, Ma Shiwei must have found something on this thing, but he didn't say it.
