Chapter 430: Brass Elephant

"Luck!" Wen Jia smiled a little mysteriously: "If you talk about this Xuanmen technique, the five elements of yin and yang, you will definitely not be able to compare with me and my uncle." But this little ability of my uncle and me, in the face of your luck, is not worth it. ”

"Oh?" In fact, Tang Yi vaguely guessed that Wen Jia might have to talk about luck.

"If your mind is not calm, your breath will not be smooth, so before you go down, you had better keep your mind calm, at least your mind is running freely, so as to ensure that your luck can be stable and full. It's so critical! Wen Jia explained.

"Okay." Tang Yi didn't say much, "Listen to you." ”

After Wen Jia drove away, Tang Yixin walked out of the community and wandered around.

Coincidentally, there is a small flower and bird market near the community.

This flower and bird market, on the opposite side of a big road, on the other side of the big road, is an old house with a high-walled compound. There are several small roads in the market, where there are flowers and birds, pet cats and dogs. On one of the paths, there are even a few antique stalls.

In many cities in China, there have been many antique stalls in recent years, not only in flower and bird markets, but also in parks, markets, and even communities. But the antique stalls in these places are often shoddy gadgets.

Tang Yi walked to this path with antique stalls. It's not that he has to go to the stall, but this path with antique stalls is the quietest, except for those who sell flowers, it is these antique stalls. The other trails are all selling birds and pets, and they can all call, don't you want to be quiet.

Among these antique stalls, there is an old man around seventy years old who has the smallest stall, but Tang Yi glanced at it, and the things were the most positive. The other stalls are basically ordinary wooden bracelets, and there are some new imitation jade pieces of average quality, and then some fake copper coins and glass ware.

There is a pastel cup on this old man's stall, and the position is the most conspicuous.

This cup, two is called a pair, and four is called a hall, which everyone in the circle knew in the early years, and now many novices don't pay attention to it.

A cup, slippery and slippery, elegant pastel, the painting is not bad, Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum. Although it is something from the Republic of China, it looks very pleasing to the eye.

Tang Yi picked up the cup and looked at it, and the old man smiled and said: "Young man, your eyesight is good, if you match it with an old-fashioned teapot with a handle, it can be regarded as a refreshing thing!" ”

Tang Yi said with a smile: "This class of four gentlemen's pastels, things from the Republic of China, look good-looking, but without pondering, after looking at it for a long time, the impetuous spirit will come out." ”

When the old man heard this, his expression was obviously shocked.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. is such a casual sentence, if you are not an expert, you will definitely not be able to throw it out, the key is that Tang Yi is too young.

The old man stared at Tang Yi a few more times, and handed over a Mazha, "Yes, the year is shallow." It's okay, there are few people here, you can rest and look at something else. ”

This old man looks ordinary, and even a little rustic, but he speaks comfortably, and he is obviously a knowledgeable person. Tang Yi took Maza, sat down and looked at it again.

However, on this old man's stall, except for this old object that can be regarded as a bright eye, there is really nothing good anymore.

Looking at Tang Yi's eyes, the old man also understood. "Young man, buying and selling is not benevolent, you go yours." The old man said, picked up an upside-down porcelain basin, and adjusted the position.

Xu was seen before, Xu was put casually, in short, as soon as the porcelain basin was taken away, Tang Yi found that there was a small copper piece that fell sideways underneath.

This small copper piece looks like it is brass, and it is not very old, that is, it is something from the past few decades, but this structure makes Tang Yi's eyes shine.

Because it's an armillary model.

Arlyptic elephants, maybe fewer people have heard about them, but more people have heard about them on the armillary sphere. To put it simply, an armillary sphere is a bit more complicated than an armillary sphere, and some people say that an armillary sphere is a general term for an armillary sphere and an armillary sphere. There's no need to delve into it here.

The basic shape of the image is a circular sphere, which is mostly not solid, and is formed by the strips of the material that are crossed vertically and horizontally, and there are sun, moon, stars, and so on in it. Strictly speaking, there is an axis of rotation, because only in rotation can the law of change of the sun, moon and stars be seen. Within the sphere, there are also blocks or planes that symbolize the earth.

Yes, it is the ball that symbolizes the sun and the moon, but the earth symbolizes the block or plane.

Because the ancients did not know that the earth was round, they believed in the theory of armillary heaven, so they created the astronomical instrument of armillary elephants. In ancient China, the theory of the universe was once the dominant theory of the universe: the armillary sky, that is, the universe, is like an egg, with various projectile-shaped celestial bodies in it, and the earth is like an "egg yolk" in the egg, but it is not round, but square, floating on the water.

The history of the appearance of the mud can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty. Zhang Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty is more famous, he made a water transportation armillary sphere on the basis of the muddy image made by his predecessors, which is a complex version of the armillary image in my personal opinion.

The brass model that Tang Yi saw was certainly not so complicated. Not only is it easy to make, but it can't be rotated, so it's just a small model with a little bit of meaning.

A square base, with a bracket stretched out at the corners and in the middle, framed a sphere composed of several circles of copper bars, in which there is a large hollow copper ball symbolizing the sun, a smaller hollow copper ball symbolizing the moon, and a square copper sheet symbolizing the earth.

Despite this, this model is not lacking in beauty, and the copper quality is good, which makes people feel a little tasteful.

"Do you sell this brass elephant?" Tang Yi picked it up and asked with a smile.

"Young man, you can't even look at the pastels of the Republic of China, this astronomical model, it's not even old!" The old man glanced at Tang Yi and said. Tang Yi thought to himself, this old man is too real, if he changes to oil, he can't make a fool of himself first, this is the Eastern Han Dynasty, maybe it is a small model made by Zhang Heng.

Well, although the Eastern Han Dynasty still can't make such brass.

"The year is not old, but I think this should be something handmade by folk artists, and it is a bit interesting to put it on the desk." Tang Yi explained.

"This is what I received according to the price of copper, and I didn't weigh it separately, you can look at it!" The old man waved his hand.

Tang Yi didn't know what was wrong with him, not only did he want to buy it, but he actually took out two hundred yuan and handed it to the old man at once, "Even if one hundred is material money, one hundred is manual money!" ”

"Oops, that's a lot." The old man shouted. Indeed, even if it is not weighed, this really has to be charged by the catty, and it is only a few dozen yuan at the top.

Tang Yi stuffed the money into the old man's hand, "Can you make money like this?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, but finally put the money away, found two plastic bags, layer by layer, packed the brass elephant, and handed it to Tang Yi, "Young man, I sell things, I look at people!" If it's someone else, two hundred is too little! ”
