Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Alien Golden Toad
Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Alien Golden Toad
Some of the people in the room frowned and pondered, some were silent, and some people stepped forward to look at the golden toad carefully, trying to find out the problem, only an old man in a tunic touched his goatee, his eyes showed admiration, Su Ren was stunned, it was still an acquaintance, it was the shopkeeper Li who bought Su Ren's camel bell.
Now is not the time to chat, clapping his hands, Su Ren smiled and said confidently: "As we all know, once an object and faith are involved, in addition to distinguishing the age and paying attention to its value, the most important thing is to be clear about the meaning of the thing.
Guanyin has, send the child Guanyin, security Guanyin, Ningjia Guanyin, town house Guanyin, Buddha has, eighteen Arhats, Buddha has, big day, such as lai, etc., the God of Wealth has the God of Wealth, the God of Wealth, the God of Scattered Wealth, even if it is the lion of the town house, it is also divided into left and right heads, stepping on the hydrangea and a round.
The same thing, the same kind of character, will also have different meanings because of different shapes and carvings. β
Everyone in the house nodded again and again, it is true, no matter whether things are useful or not, since ancient times, Chinese people always have to ask for an auspicious fortune, you can't want to ask for a son, you go to worship Arhat, want to keep the house safe, go to worship the God of Wealth, don't look at the many Chinese gods and Buddhas, but it is not chaotic, just like the employees of large companies, each with its own responsibilities, each showing its ability.
Someone next to him asked suspiciously: "This is a "bangs playing golden toad", which means that everyone is clear!" β
"Yes! Yes! What other meaning can there be in praying for the next generation to be rich and wise? β
"That's right! No matter how you look at it, it's an ordinary golden toadγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
When you encounter foreign objects for two days in a row, this luck is also amazing!
Waiting for everyone's voices to calm down, Su Ren spread his hands and said: "All the experts are right, it is a "Bang Hai Drama Golden Toad", but the key is γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Speaking of this, Su Ren paused, his eyes crossed everyone's faces, pointed at the golden toad, and said in a condensed voice: "It is a foreign object, not from the Central Plains." β
"Huh? γ»γ»γ»γ»β
"Foreignγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» foreign?"
The small single room was noisy, talking to each other, and some people were lying on the golden toad, trying to find evidence of foreign objects.
The customs of various countries are different, the customs and beliefs are very different, take the dragon as an analogy, in China, the dragon represents the best blessings, such as everyone is like a dragon, the body is like a dragon, the fish leaps over the dragon gate, etc., as long as it can be related to the dragon, it must be a good blessing word, and after it is transmitted to the West, the dragon has become a powerful representative, what body is the strongest, the teeth and claws are the most evil, what represents the courage to move forward, the dragon has become a fool with only muscles and no brains.
On the other hand, the golden toad is a foreign thing, so what is the meaning of the golden toad in their country? What does it mean? Or is it bad? Or is it bloody evil?
After such a reminder, someone really saw the problem of the golden toad's claws, and said in surprise: "Hey, it's really foreign, look at this claw, it's sharp and sharp." β
"Yo, what the little brother said is really right."
"Don't say I don't know, let's see, there are teeth in this mouth!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't pile up here, let's take a look."
In the midst of the noise, Sun Million stretched out his chubby palm, gave Su Ren a thumbs up, and gave a big thumbs up, and the owner Chang surnamed Donor came to his side, and asked with a sad face: "Little brother, is there still a clear mark?" β
Foreign monks are good at chanting, but that is talking about people, not things, the golden toad in front of you can be sold, but to see the country and the meaning, if the meaning is not good, like some kind of curse, no one present will pay a penny for it, and must hide far away to watch the excitement.
Nodding, Su Ren said, "There is a word "wood" in the center of the base. β
The donor surnamed Chang lost his voice and said: "There are words on the base? β
Su Ren was speechless, he didn't figure out his own things, how did the business work? The antiquities business should be so careless, sooner or later, it's better to change your career as soon as possible.
The donor surnamed Chang saw Su Ren's expression, and immediately understood what he meant, and said embarrassedly: "This... little brother, you also know that this golden toad is big, and my brother and I are alone, so it took a lot of effort to turn over, so I didn't look carefully." β
With the goal, everyone put the golden toad down on the table, except for some bronze rust on the base, in the middle, really found a vague, nail-sized "wood" word.
Seeing the words clearly, someone was immediately stunned: "Plaster? β
"It's a plaster, yes!"
"It seems that for a long time, it turned out to be a plaster, what a bad luck!"
Sun Million asked curiously, "How did they see it?" β
Su Ren explained: "At that time, the Central Plains was admired by a small country in the world, and regarded it as a suzerain, and the language, customs, and utensils were imitated, and the plaster, North Korea was one of the two countries with the strictest imitation, Yongle Tongbao was exquisitely casting, mainly used for foreign trade, and became the hard currency of international trade 600 years ago." Neighboring countries such as Japan and Vietnam have also used a large number of imitation casting Yongle Tongbao coins, and now the Yongle Tongbao coins are all cast by Japan with the words "governance" and "wood".
What's more, many military generals in Japan's Warring States Period and the Azuchi Momoyama Period painted the image of Yongle Tongbao on their military flags. Such as Oda Nobunaga, Kuroda Takataka, and Senshi Hisahide.
With the addition of the word "wood" on the base of the golden toad, it is not difficult to guess that this golden toad is produced by plaster. β
"Phew!" Sun Million spit out a mouthful of sticky phlegm and scolded: "Plaster people are not special good things, learn the technology of our ancestors, learn the culture of our ancestors, and beat us in turn, how powerful the Central Plains were before, why didn't they put them on the wall." β
Speechless, but a piece of artifact, how can it be related to the history of politics, the founding feelings, and the leap in thinking is too big.
Chang surnamed donors are not surprised, Jin Toad is not sold at a high price in China, but it is very easy to sell at a high price in plasters. Just like the Chinese in other countries to find their own foreign treasures, as long as the economic conditions allow, they will generally spend money to buy it, plaster as an economic power, regardless of the national character, the unity is indeed very good, as long as the gold toad is thrown at the Hong Kong auction, trying to find a way to spread the news, a lot of money will naturally go into the pocket.
In the midst of the noise, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a black and elegant suit, opened the wooden box that Su Ren put next to the golden toad with some curiosity, flipped through the top page, and exclaimed: "Sun Chengzong!" β
"Which one? Which one? Sun Million held a big head without a neck, looking around, his eyes breathing fire, and his small eyes were round.
Su Ren secretly smiled bitterly, who owes so much, without the consent of the master, he looked at other people's things without authorization.
Sun Million strode forward aggressively, his super high weight made the ground tremble, stepped forward to grab the genealogy, and shouted as if crying: "It's it, it's it, the genealogy of my Sun family, Lao Tzu has long said that the ancestors are scholarly and fragrant, this time I see you bastards still believe it or not." As soon as the words fell, he turned around and said, "Su boy, this is what you want to show your uncle." β
