"The preciousness of glass can be reflected in the creation of Journey to the West novels. Sha Seng was a curtain general, just because he broke a glass cup by mistake, he was degraded so badly, which is enough to show the preciousness of glass in the minds of people at that time. ”

Gao Dequan talked eloquently and chuckled: "Moreover, Feibai, you have confused a basic concept. Modern glass is worthless, but it does not mean that ancient glass is worthless in modern times. You must know that the ancient glaze, which can be handed down to the present, is also a very precious art treasure. What's more, the glass is also divided into types, and most of the ones on the market are water glass, which is an imitation of the glass. The glaze that is really fired by the ancient method has a high cost and has a certain collection value. ”

"Of course I do."

Yu Feibai scratched his head, and said in confusion: "However, I have also seen ancient colored glass, most of them should be small and delicate things such as beads, and many times they should be jewelry shapes, and it is unlikely to make mirrors." You must know that the glass is not very transparent, and there are many colors, which cannot be reflected at all. ”

"Well, it's a little weird." Gao Dequan agreed: "Ancient mirrors are generally made of copper, because copper mirrors have been used for a long time, although the surface will become dull, but they can be re-polished to restore the original brilliance. Other metals aren't so convenient, and I've never heard of glass-based mirrors unless ......"

"Unless what?" Yu Feibai hurriedly asked.

Next to him, Wang Guan listened attentively, and his face also showed curiosity.

"Unless, this isn't the mirror that ordinary people use to groom up. It's a magic mirror. Gao Dequan smiled.

"Magic Mirror?"

Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were a little surprised.

"That's right." Gao Dequan said with a smile: "The magic mirror, which is also the so-called feng shui magic weapon. After all, in ancient times, mirrors not only had the function of organizing instruments, but also had other special meanings. For example, town houses, evil spirits, and so on. ”

"I think of it, the demon mirror in the Romance of the Gods." Yu Feibai suddenly shouted.

At the same time, Wang Guan said thoughtfully: "I remember, the gate of the ancestral house in the past. A mirror was also hung. And it's about the same shape as this mirror. ”

At this time, Yu Feibai noticed the mirror in Wang Guan's hand. It is not the most common circle, but like the stone box, it forms a regular Bagua form.

"Wang Guan. Show me something. ”

Yu Feibai stretched out his hand curiously, and after taking the glass mirror handed by Wang Guan, he first looked at the mirror, only to see that the surface of the glass was still brilliant and dazzling, and it was brilliant, and there was no fading at all.

Sure enough, this is the real glass, which will never change color for thousands of years. Unlike the water glass on the market, it will begin to fade after only one or two years, and the longer it will take. The more it looks like plastic, the more crystal clear it feels.

The most important thing is that the texture of this layer of glass is very strong, even if it is mixed with a variety of colors, it is still so crystal clear. And it feels smooth to the touch, without the sluggishness of crystal and glass.

After admiring the glass on the mirror surface, Yu Feibai felt that there seemed to be many ornaments on the back of the mirror, and immediately looked at it, only to see a crouching unicorn carved in the center of the mirror back, and the four corners of the mirror body were turtles, dragons, phoenixes and tigers. And corresponding to the four corners is the gossip, and there are twelve chenxiao outside the gossip.

However, despite all the carvings in this space of seven or eight inches, the back of the mirror does not appear disorganized, but very orderly, and the patterns of various creatures are clearly visible and lifelike.

Yu Feibai looked carefully and found that outside the four elephant gossip and zodiac signs, there were twenty-four characters written on the outline of the mirror. Looking at him, these words are very similar to official books, with clear dots, but he doesn't know any of them. …,

"Uncle De, look at what this word is." Yu Feibai was diligent in learning and asking, and immediately asked for advice.

"I'll look at ......"

Gao Dequan looked at it slightly, then nodded and said, "Well, it's really a feng shui magic mirror, a bit like the four gods and twelve zodiac mirrors." However, it has one more unicorn button than the four gods and twelve zodiac mirrors, as well as the direction of the eight trigrams, and twenty-four words. ”

"Four Gods Zodiac Mirror!" Wang Guan groaned: "I remember that it seems to be a Tang mirror, a very precious ancient mirror. ”

"You're right, at present, the ancient mirrors of the Warring States, Han Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty are the most exquisite and collectible." Gao Dequan said with a smile: "However, the ancient mirror of the Tang Dynasty is, to a certain extent, an imitation of the Han mirror. For example, the four gods and twelve zodiac mirrors of the Tang Dynasty are actually imitations of the specifications and shapes of the Han Dynasty divine beast mirror, and then developed and improved on the basis of the divine beast mirror. The two are also in the same vein. ”

"In the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties, it is normal for the two to be related." Yu Feibai continued to ask: "However, what I'm more curious about is what these words are. ”

"You bastard, you really don't have any eyesight." Gao Dequan shook his head, glanced at Yu Feibai, and reprimanded: "If I knew, I would have told you a long time ago, so why bother with it." ”

"Isn't it, you don't even know Uncle De?" Yu Feibai was very surprised.

"What's so strange." Gao Dequan rolled his eyes and said: "I am not an expert or scholar in this field, and these official books are not common words, I don't know anything unusual." ”

"Then I'll take two photos and ask Qian Lao for advice."

Yu Feibai grinned, took out his mobile phone and slapped it at the back of the mirror, then flipped the mirror over, raised it slightly, and continued to take pictures with a click.

At the same time, Gao Dequan said: "Wang Guan, I think this mirror should be Tang Mirror. ”

"Why?"

Wang Guan frowned imperceptibly, because under the observation of his special ability, the purple flame of the East and West Treasure Light rose, which was even more blazing than the sun, which showed that the age of this mirror was very old, and it must have surpassed the Tang Dynasty.

"The ancient mirror of the Tang Dynasty roughly has the four gods and twelve zodiac patterns, the grape pattern of the beast, the pattern of flowers and birds, the pattern of the Rui pattern, the mirror of the fairy figure, the pattern of the dragon, the pattern of the eight trigrams, the pattern of ten thousand characters, etc...... This mirror should be a combination of the four gods and twelve zodiac patterns and the eight trigram patterns. ”

Gao Dequan explained: "Moreover, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty respected Taoism the most, regarded Laozi Li Er as an ancestor, and most likely ordered craftsmen to fire such glass mirrors. ”

After all, the firing technology of colored glass is only in the hands of the royal family, and judging from the shape and decoration of the back of the mirror, it is clearly a Taoist feng shui mirror. Slightly connected, it is no wonder that Gao Dequan came to such a conclusion.

If you don't have special abilities, after hearing Gao Dequan's reasoning, maybe Wang Guan will also be convinced. However, at this time, he had to think about how to overturn Gao Dequan's conclusion. Evidence is needed for this......

Thinking of this, Wang Guan subconsciously looked at the glass mirror. At this moment, he seemed to see a miraculous situation, which made his gaze freeze. At the same time, Yu Feibai also finished taking the photo and was about to put down the hand holding the mirror. As soon as his hand moved, the miraculous situation that Wang Guan saw swayed with it.

At the right time, Wang Guan was anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't move!" ”

"Huh?"

Yu Feibai was stunned, and only after half a sound did he say in a daze: "Did you say it?" ”

"Hold the mirror up and look at the ground." Wang Guan prompted.

Yu Feibai blinked, although he was confused, he still followed Wang Guan's instructions, held the mirror in his hand high, and then looked down at the ground.

Because Yu Feibai is behind the light, the light is very sufficient, shining on the crystal clear glass mirror, naturally reflecting a brilliant colorful brilliance. …,

However, at this moment, no one paid attention to the rainbow light above, but looked down at the shadow on the ground. In an instant, several people saw a very unusual scene, which made them dumbfounded, dumbfounded, and in disbelief.

At this time, I saw the mirror reflected in the shadow of the ground, and the patterns such as unicorn, turtle, dragon, phoenix and tiger, gossip symbols, and zodiac signs clearly appeared, including the twenty-four words, all of which were delicate and meticulous.

After a long time, Gao Dequan sighed, came back to his senses, and exclaimed: "The translucent mirror ......"

"Uncle De, this is the legendary translucent mirror?" Yu Feibai came to his senses, the hand holding the mirror retracted, the mirror was not illuminated by light, and the pattern and text on the back of the mirror were no longer presented.

"That's right, it's a translucent mirror."

Gao Dequan's eyes were full of excitement and amazement, and he sighed softly: "Similar to this kind of translucent mirror, I once saw one in the History Museum of Shanghai, and it is also the only translucent mirror I know. Unexpectedly, there is another translucent mirror in the world, and the ornamental pattern is more complex and exquisite. ”

"In other words, this is the Han Mirror, not the Tang Mirror." Wang Guan said with a smile, after all, he had already made psychological preparations in advance, so he would naturally not be so shocked.

"That's right." Gao Dequan groaned and nodded slowly: "This kind of translucent mirror, according to research, was developed in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, but after the Han Dynasty, the technology of making mirrors was lost. Later, Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty recorded this in Mengxi Writings, and studied its production principle. ”

"It's a pity that Mengxi Pen Tan had no influence at that time, and it was a miscellaneous book that was not valued by scholars. Even if someone reads this article, at most they sigh that there are such good things in the world, but no one has ever wanted to re-develop the translucent lens according to the principle. Gao Dequan shook his head and said with a smile: "So, under normal circumstances, unless it is a fake made in modern times, the translucent mirror is a thing of the Han Dynasty." ”

"Another priceless treasure." Yu Feibai was a little crazy, and said stupidly: "Wang Guan, did you calculate that I came over today, so you prepared this thing to deliberately stimulate me." ”

Seeing the stone box and the crispy silk cloth wrapped in the mirror, the two naturally did not suspect that this thing was a modern fake. Yu Feibai thought that he could appreciate a rare treasure when he came, and while he was happy, he was also hit hard.

"I really don't have this, I got this thing a long time ago, but the key was only made today." Wang Guan smiled and said, "I am not an immortal of an unknown prophet, how could I know that you would appear today." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
