"You didn't notice the proportions of this Buddha statue, isn't it a little wrong? And, let's say it's rough, some places are okay, in short, it's a little abnormal. Tang Yi said with a smile.

"Found out. But the big-headed Buddha of the Ming Dynasty is out of proportion. Mao Chai said, "And the Zen bronze Buddha statues of the Ming and Qing dynasties, many of which are enshrined in small temples, and rough workmanship is not uncommon. ”

"You don't understand what I mean, I mean, this Buddha statue is wrapped too thickly!" Tang Yi smiled.

"Huh?" Mao Zhu couldn't help but touch it lightly with his hand, and a piece of mud gold was easily removed.

"Okay, then we'll delay a little longer! You go and close the door. Tang Yi said, took out the toolbox from the drawer, picked out a piece of hard bamboo from the inside, and quickly cleaned up the mud gold that was torn apart outside.

Then, he picked up another carving knife and carefully began to pry down the cracks in the purple-black lacquered clothes.

Pry off a layer of purple-black lacquer clothes, and actually reveal another layer of mud gold, but it is more mottled than the outside, Tang Yi pried this layer off again.

Pry layer after layer, a total of three layers were pried down.

After cleaning up, Tang Yi found a dry towel and wiped it carefully.

A gilded bronze Buddha statue glitters with gold on the counter!

Flawless, exquisite workmanship, expression in place, delicate lines.

"! How do you know there's a gilded Buddha statue inside?! Mao exclaimed. But after a few seconds, he calmed down, because for Tang Yi, there were too many such things!

"Didn't I tell you? I don't think the proportions are right, and the workmanship is a bit rough and abnormal. But judging from the form of the Buddha statue, it seems that the grade is quite high. Tang Yi said with a smile.

Mao said, "Then don't you dare to pry like this!" ”

"Ever heard of the word reshaping the golden body, right?" Tang Yi explained, "I guess this gilded Buddha statue, when it was originally enshrined, should have been a large number of pilgrims and responded to requests. So, someone must have paid to reshape the golden body. However, the reshaping of the gold body can only be mud gold, on the basis of the original gilt, add lacquer clothes, add mud gold, layer after layer, the original face can not be seen! ”

"It is precisely because of this that it is particularly well protected!" Mao Zhu suddenly realized.

"That's right. Such a gilded Buddha statue in the early Ming Dynasty, 160,000 is not a loss, right? Tang Yi said with a smile.

"You're very ruthless, you only said the generation in front of that person, and now it's coming out of the early Ming Dynasty! It's not just a loss, you missed it again, I really convinced you! Mao sighed.

"It's all fate. The person just now was full of anger and had no relationship with the Buddha. Tang Yi said, "What is a coincidence, without crashing, can this Buddha statue be invited back by us?" ”

Mao Chai carefully put away the Buddha statue and was about to lock it in the safe, Tang Yi stopped, "Take it home, my mother likes to worship Buddha, the one at home is a modern porcelain craft, I have long wanted to ask her for one!" Originally, I wanted to invite a tantric one, and the craftsmanship was better, but I never came across it. ”

"Tantra? It's hard to pick up the leaks of Tantra! Mao glanced at Tang Yi, "The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant!" ”

When it comes to this gold and bronze Buddha statue, it is mainly the two schools they just mentioned. One is Zen and the other is Tantra.

Zen Buddhism is a Buddha statue in the Central Plains, with obvious Han cultural characteristics, about the rise of the Jin Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was very prosperous, and the later dynasties have done it. However, many Buddha statues in the Ming and Qing dynasties, just like Mao Zhu said just now, are generally workmanlike, and the preservation is average, and the quality is not good.

So it's not uncommon to come across it at a stall.

The Tantric Buddha statue was introduced from Nepal in the Yuan Dynasty, and this was more popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Tantric Buddha statues are generally very exquisite, and gilded more, compared with the Ming and Qing Dynasty gold Buddha statues, of course, it seems taller. However, it cannot be said that there are no high-quality Zen Buddha statues in the era, and the one found by Tang Yi is a high-quality product.

The two left Ge Baoduo and drove to Tang Yi's house. "I'm in a hurry, the dumplings have just come out of the pot, and I want to call you!" Tang Zhongfeng said with a smile.

Tang Yi waved the Buddha statue, and Tang Zhongfeng's eyes lit up, "Gilded!" Old? ”

"Yes, I think it's from the early Ming Dynasty. Today's luck is not bad, there is still a good thing in the safe of the counter of Guilong Mall, you will go and see it tomorrow. A set of emerald jewelry. But it costs a lot! Emerald jewelry cost a million, please this Buddha statue 160,000. Tang Yi said.

At this time, Yi Sumei came out of the kitchen with an apron, and she didn't hear it in front of her, but she only heard the money spent, "You said you, you have two money that you don't know how to save, why did you spend so much?" ”

"This Buddha statue has been missed. I've heard of emeralds, if it's really the best, I'm afraid a set of jewelry will cost tens of millions, right? Tang Zhongfeng said.

"Mom, don't worry, I can't afford to lose anything when I buy something! This Buddha statue is for you! Tang Yi said with a smile.

Yi Sumei felt sorry for the money, and she was still thinking about the dumplings in the pot, so she only glanced at it a few times, and then muttered and walked into the kitchen. Tang Zhongfeng greeted Mao and said, "Xiao Mao, eat some melon seeds and peanuts first." ”

Yi Su plum dumplings are indeed a must. Catch up with the beginning of winter, the main package is mutton and green onion dumplings, when adjusting the filling, add a little good wine, to the fragrance. At the same time, because there is no stir-frying, there are also some cucumber egg fillings, which are refreshing and fresh.

A good meal. After eating dumplings, before leaving, Mao Zhu proposed to drive Wenjia's BMW car to have a good time, taking advantage of the lack of cars at night. Tang Yi thought that Mao Zhu was also a person with a driver's license anyway, and he didn't drink at night, so he agreed.

Before going to bed, Tang Yi thought about it, tomorrow he had to go to the museum to see the venue of the ancient Chinese jade exhibition and settle the matter. At the same time, you have to transport a batch of finished jadeite to the counter, so that you can open the day after tomorrow, and you have to think about getting an opening reward or something.

And after finishing these, there is also the matter of visiting Qin Lao, and discussing the preparation of the next step of the Five Ancient Sealed Lamp Antique Research Association. If Jin Shixi is in Shanzhou, it is best to talk to him about this matter as well. The last time I looked for Mr. Fang, it turned out that Professor Dong was there, and I didn't mention it, so I had to go there.

The more I think about it, the more things happen. Tang Yi was lying on the bed, unable to sleep for a while, picked up his mobile phone, and was looking for a novel to read and adjust, but a text message popped up.

At a glance, it was actually sent by Xu Yilin: "Did you sleep?" I want to ask you for help. ”

Tang Yi thought to himself, the reporter really went day and night, and he still sent text messages at this point, but it was more polite, and he didn't call directly.

"I haven't slept yet, let's talk." Tang Yi turned back.

Then the phone rings! At this sound, Tang Yi suddenly remembered that Xu Yilin's embroidered spring knife was still here with him! I didn't discuss it with her, so I was stunned to drill a hole for someone else and took away the map of Chongzhen's secret collection!
