Chapter 985: Tiger Cannibal
Therefore, Sima Liu has never figured out the origin of this incense burner.
Now I've finally figured it out! However, it was because I was looking for someone to look at feng shui and found that this incense burner could no longer be used.
"Also, my grandfather used a bayonet to kill the devil back then, and there are bullet holes left by the devil on his arm, you said that there is a Japanese incense burner in front of his tablet, I can go along with it! Even if I'm not affected, I can't keep this incense burner! Sima Liu sighed.
"The old man still has this feat?" Tang Yi asked.
"Yes, the Battle of Guinan, the victory of Kunlun Pass, my grandfather also made meritorious contributions. It was that time he was wounded, and later he was transferred out of the original unit, and then went to Taiwan Island. Sima Liu introduced, "When my grandfather died, he was also buried in the ancestral grave on the mainland. ”
"It's been a long time, it turned out to be Lao Jiang's team." Wen Jia said with a smile, he didn't understand it at first.
In fact, Sima Liu's business was not so big, but it was only thanks to his grandfather's funding.
"By the way, my grandfather also seized an item from a Japanese officer at that time, and he didn't hand it in at that time. This said that this incense burner was made by the Wa Kingdom, and I brought this thing with it, and I showed it together, is there a problem? Sima Liu said, taking out something from the bag he brought.
Tang Yi saw that it was a letter. Wen Jia smiled, "What is the letter of a Japanese devil? This thing has been in your house all the time, isn't it okay? It's your grandfather's trophy, it's not the same as the incense burner used for worship, it's fine. ”
"Master Wen, since I'm here, I just understand it and rest assured. Besides, there are two things mentioned in this letter, and I happened to ask Mr. Tang for advice. ”
Tang Yi smiled, took it and opened it, but the letter was in Chinese language, and Tang Yi basically couldn't understand it. But the two things mentioned in it, and the inscription, Tang Yi understood, because the name of the inscription and the name of the thing are pure Chinese characters, but they are just traditional Chinese.
The letter was signed to: Kono Iizuka.
"I've got someone to translate." Sima Liu didn't pay much attention to the change in Tang Yi's expression, and then explained it in general.
This is written by Kono Iizuka to his brother-in-law who participated in the invasion of China, which is actually Kono Taro's uncle. This person's name is Fujimoto Xiong, and it is estimated that he was killed by Sima Liu's grandfather and took the letter.
The letter first inquired about some information, and then talked about the cultural relics looted from China, saying that from 1931 to 1939 alone, there were more than 2 million pieces.
This Tang Yi was not surprised, because later the Wa Kingdom later made statistics, from 1931 to 1945, a total of 3.6 million pieces of Chinese cultural relics were plundered during this period.
The font of this letter is a little fluttering, and it can be seen that Kono Iizuka should have been in a good mood at that time.
The following content reveals the reason why he is in a good mood, because he has just seen a top-level bronze from China.
Kono's best knowledge is bronzes and rare books, and Kono Iizuka is particularly interested in this, and this time he has gained a lot of new knowledge by observing it up close.
The top-level bronze vessel mentioned by Kono Iizuka is called the Milk Tiger Bowl (note: Yin You, the main wine container, the mouth is small and the abdomen is large, and there is a lid with a handle).
"I really haven't heard of any bronze heavy weapons like the 'Milk Tiger Tree'." Sima Liu looked at Tang Yi, "Mr. Tang, you must have heard of it!" ”
Tang Yi saw that Sima Liu brought this letter, mainly to ask about the things inside, but anyone who likes antiques, this kind of curiosity is inevitable, in addition to this milk tiger skull, there is another thing mentioned later.
"This milk tiger is the name of the Wa country, in fact, in China, it is called the tiger cannibal block. This is a bronze from the Shang Dynasty, and the shape is a tiger and a man hugging each other......" Tang Yi explained, "The different names also reflect the different ways in which the Chinese and the Wa kingdoms treated this thing." It is called the milk tiger, that is, it is believed that man and beast are harmonious, and heaven and man are one. And it is called a tiger cannibal, which is naturally to show the ferocity of the tiger. ”
"The devils of the Japanese country are really perverted, and they know that man and beast are combined." Wen Jia scolded with a smile.
Several people couldn't help but be amused by this. Tang Yixin said, this can't be compared with the perverted action movies of the Wa Kingdom. In fact, this view of the scholars of the Japanese Kingdom is not unreasonable at all. Humans and animals live in harmony to create a green ecology - however, Japanese scholars may have overlooked, but this was more than 3,000 years ago in the Shang Dynasty, when productivity was underdeveloped, and it was relatively difficult to hunt wild animals, and it may be a bit far-fetched to realize this problem.
Tang Yi didn't explain much about this, but continued, "Mr. Sima, you must know about Siyang Fangzun?" ”
"Of course I do."
"The tiger cannibal is a masterpiece of bronze ware in the Shang Dynasty, unearthed near Anning County, Tanzhou, and these four sheep Fangzun were also unearthed nearby!"
"I see!" Sima Liudao, "How did that flow to the Wa Kingdom?" Is it the period of invasion of China? ”
"I've only seen some information about this, and it's not very reliable. It is said that two pieces were unearthed at that time, and both of them later flowed out of the country, one is now in an art museum in Paris, and the other is in a museum in the Wa Kingdom. As for how it flowed out, it's hard to verify. However, although the time was leaked out in modern times, it was not the period of invasion of China, and it should be earlier. ”
Sima Liu gritted his teeth and said, "So many good things have gone to the Wa Kingdom, if they are all left, maybe I can pick up a few more leaks!" ”
Tang Yi said with a smile, "Actually, many of the Chinese national treasure-level cultural relics that flowed to the Wa Kingdom were really not robbed by the Japanese devils when they invaded China, and ancient exchanges accounted for a very important part. For example, Wang Xizhi's "Funeral Post" Tang Dynasty facsimile is considered to be the closest facsimile to Wang Xizhi's authentic handwriting, if it is not connected with "Two Thanks" and "Deshi Post", I am afraid it will be regarded as Wang Xizhi's only authentic handiwork. It's priceless, isn't it? ”
Indeed, the Tang facsimile of "Funeral Post" is the use of the double ditch ink that was said when introducing the Tang scriptures before, on the white linen paper, the ink is sound, the penmanship is exquisite, and the charm is also vivid, which is absolutely the best.
"This is what the Huaxia people brought over themselves." Tang Yi continued.
"Huh?" Sima Liu exclaimed, "What's the matter?" He knew that the Tang copy of "Funeral Post" was in the Wa Kingdom, and some people compared it with the "Shenlong Orchid Pavilion Preface" in the Forbidden City and the "Clear Post in the Fast Snow" of the Forbidden City on Taiwan Island, which is indeed an out-and-out national treasure.
"This is what Jianzhen brought over when he crossed to the east of the country." Tang Yidao, "I have compared a lot of historical materials, although it has not been certified by authoritative experts, but I think it should be like this." ”
